Who are the Badashan people?

Bada Shanren is a person

Zhu Da (1626-1705), named Zhu Tongquan, was a descendant of Zhu Quan, King Ning of the Ming Dynasty, and a famous painter and monk in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties in China. A native of Nanchang, Jiangxi, he was a descendant of Zhu Quan, King Ning of Nanchang, and became a monk after the death of the Ming Dynasty. Because he tried to uphold the Bada Ren Enlightenment Sutra, he was also called Bada Shanren.

Zhu Da is good at flowers, birds and landscapes. His flowers and birds inherit the tradition of freehand flower and bird paintings by Chen Chun and Xu Wei. It developed into a broad-brush freehand painting method, which is characterized by using symbolic and allegorical techniques to exaggerate the painted flowers, birds, fish and insects. With its unique image and concise shape, the image in the painting is prominent, the theme is clear, and even He painted the eyes of birds and fish as "white eyes facing people" to express his aloof and cynical character, thus creating an unprecedented flower-and-bird look.

The brushwork and ink used in his paintings are simple and bold, vigorous and forthright, dripping and smooth, the composition is sparse and dangerous, and the style is majestic and simple. He first learned landscape painting from Dong Qichang, and later from Huang Gongwang and Ni Zan. He mostly painted ink landscapes, with simple and vigorous brushwork and a desolate and lonely artistic conception. He is also good at calligraphy and is good at cursive and cursive calligraphy. Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, Yan Zhenqing, Dong Qichang, etc. use bald pens to write in a smooth and elegant style.
