Zhou Shide was a native of Changzhou (now part of Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province) during the Qing Dynasty.
His courtesy name was Yunxiu. He studied Confucianism in his childhood. After his father passed away, he became a Taoist Priest by studying under Deng Jixu. When he reached adulthood, he went to Mount Longhu and learned the Thunder Magic of the Qingwei School, as well as various Taoist practices such as prayer, exorcising evil spirits, and curing diseases, from Xia Beiqu. He passed away in the mountain at the age of sixty-two.
