The Chu Shoushi 褚守恃
Paul PengShare
Chu Shoushi lived during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. His courtesy name was Zhenyun.

He served as the abbot of Taiqing Palace on Mount Laoshan for more than fifty years and had long enjoyed a high reputation among both Taoists and laypeople. Skilled in playing the guqin (a traditional Chinese seven-stringed zither), he also composed guqin pieces, including Guan Hai (Watching the Sea) and Yuexia Xiuxing (Cultivating Practice Under the Moon), which have been passed down to this day.
