Zhou was born in Jurong, and specialized in figure painting. He worked as a painter in attendance at the Painting Academy of the Southern Tang court. It is recorded that Zhou participated in executing a joint work at the banquet held by Emperor Yuanzong of Southern Tang on New Year's Day, 947. A follower of Zhou Fang (Tang dynasty) in the Tang. Quite a few paintings are attributed to him, but none with much evidence. Most works  attributed  to him are later copies  or misatributions. Four scroll monochrome copies before 1140 are  a little plausible, one of which  is in Metropolitan museum (images in gallery). Gallery
