Zhuhong was a Ming-dynasty monk. Publicly available information about his life and native place is limited, and today readers mainly come to know him through his writings. The library holds one work by him, Zhuchuang Suibi (Notes from the Bamboo Window), classified under social sciences. The book is a collection of short personal notes, often recording everyday observations, reflections on reading, and insights from Buddhist practice. The pieces are brief and the language is plain and clean, combining exhortation with self-examination; a concrete example frequently leads into comment on human nature and worldly affairs. His writing avoids elaborate exposition and values saying just enough, making the book easy and approachable for casual reading. Because sources are limited, details of Zhuhong's life cannot be given in full, yet through Zhuchuang Suibi one sees a plain style and careful thought; the book has also been regarded as a reference for understanding the essay writing of Ming-dynasty monks.
