Life

Her father, Yun Yuxiu, served as a dian shi at Feixiang[5], and Yun Zhu was also described as a clan descendant of Master Nantian[6]. In childhood she accompanied her father to Feixiang; by the age of ten she was accomplished in poetry and skilled in painting[7].

An account relates that on the night of her birth, her grandmother Tang dreamed that an old woman presented a pearl, after which she was named Zhu. She also dreamed that in a former life she had been an attendant of Miaolian Bodhisattva, and painted *紅島侍書圖*[8]. When relatives visited Feixiang, Suoluoshi admired her talent and virtue. Tested with a golden-pheasant poem, she wrote at once; its images of escaping the cage and learning to fly toward the sun won great admiration, and she was betrothed to the prefect[9].

She married Wanyan Tinglu, a Manchu prefect of Tai'an; the husband's name is also written 完顏廷鏴. After his death she educated her sons strictly[10]. She had three sons: 完顏麟慶, 完顏麟昌, and 完顏麟書[11]. Her eldest son, 完顏麟慶 (1791–1846)[12], earned the jinshi degree at nineteen, served as a prefect and provincial governor, commanded the Southern River region, and rose to governor of the Jiangnan River Conservancy[13]. She instructed him in verse to preserve his character beyond success in the examinations; when he entered the Secretariat, she painted a folding Ziwei fan and presented it with an inscription[14]. His postings brought him a reputation for good administration, which was attributed to her maternal instruction. Her later family included the granddaughters 完顏妙蓮保 (1821–1861) and 完顏佛芸保, the daughter-in-law 程孟梅 (1796–1850), and the granddaughter-in-law 蔣重申[15].

She wrote prefaces for 蔡之定, 林培厚, 高鄂, 潘素心, 黃友琴, and 翁瑛, and postscripts for 程孟梅, 蔣重申, 惲崇碩, 鄭汝楫, and 宗梅[16].

Poetry, painting, and thought

She was known for poetry and painting[17]. She was also described as a filial daughter, a xiaoxue philologist, and a scholar of the Book of Songs[18]. Her painting followed the Nantian manner and drew on the style of her clan aunt, Yun Bing[19].

She was particularly learned in xinxue and admired Li Erqu. She had his collected writings reprinted and wrote a preface for the edition, and also had *遜庵語錄* printed to commemorate her ancestral virtue[20]. She held that ethical bonds were the foundation for preserving order through the cycles of peace and disorder[21]. Known for kindness and charity, she prepared medicines and compiled prescriptions to aid others; wherever her sons served, she repaired roads and shrines and showed a thorough understanding of statecraft and governance[22].

Works

She compiled *蘭閨寶錄* in six juan[23]; a six-juan work is also titled *蘭閨實錄*[24]. She also compiled *國朝閨秀正始集*[25] in twenty juan, with one juan each of an appendix, supplementary material, and appended inscriptions[26]; the work is also called *國朝女士正始集*[27]. Her poetry collection is listed as *紅香館詩詞草* in two juan[28]; other accounts give the titles *紅香館詩草* and *紅香館詩餘*[29].

*蘭閨實錄* was modeled on *列女傳*, drawing broadly on historical writings and arranging its contents under filial conduct, virtue, maternal example, faithful chastity, resourcefulness, and literary talent[30]. She also gathered works by women of the Qing and selected them for *正始集*; the two books were regarded as documents of the women's inner quarters[31]. A chancellor from Yizheng called her “a Confucian among women.”[32]
