吴镇，字仲圭，号梅花道人，尝自署梅道人。吴镇生于元至元十七年，卒于元至十四年，终年七十五岁。
吴镇长住魏塘，深居简出。吴镇于六十八岁【至正七年(1347)】侨寓嘉兴春波门外(今嘉兴市城区)春波客舍，专写墨竹。时与友人会于精严寺僧舍，心仪佛门，始自称“梅沙弥”。四年后回到魏塘，殁前自选生圹，自书碑文：“梅花和尚之塔”。墓在今梅花庵侧。
祖名吴泽，字伯常，南宋时从汴梁(河南开封)移家至嘉兴，定居浙江嘉兴魏塘(今浙江嘉善魏塘)。吴镇年少好剑术，成年后与其兄吴瑱同受业于毗陵(今江苏武进)柳天骥学习易经，自此韬光养晦，讲天人性命之学，坚持高尚志气，不与众人和同，贯通儒、道、释三教，达生知命。为人抗简孤洁，一生清贫，高自标青，隐居不仕，与达官贵人很少往来。曾在村塾中教书，钱塘等地卖卜。
十八九岁开始学画，年轻时游历杭州，吴兴，饱览太湖风光。开眼界，长见识，大自然的真山真水，启迪了他创作灵感。
张大千、黄宾虹等人在吴镇墓前合影其工诗文书法，绘画题材多为渔父、古木、竹石之类，善画山水、梅花。草书学巩光，山水师法董源、巨然而又独出机杼，以雄强笔法辅以丰富墨法，自有一种苍茫沉郁、古厚纯朴之气。精写竹，师李衎，晚年则专写墨竹。墨竹宗文同，为文同后又一大家。善于用墨，淋漓雄厚，为元人之冠。兼工墨花，亦能写真。同以竹掩其画，镇以画掩其竹。其画虽势不能夺，唯以佳纸笔投之，欣然就几，随所欲为，乃可得也。诗词风格简劲奇拔，感情真挚，常以比兴自吐胸臆，接近陶潜诗风，外示平淡而内实郁愤。书法能结合王羲之和怀素之长而自具面目。每作画往往题诗文于其上，或行或草，墨沈淋漓，诗、书、画相映成趣，时人号为“三绝”。其画风对明清山水画的发展，有较大影响。他与王蒙、黄公望、倪瓒齐名，并称为元四家。
梅花庵相传吴镇本与盛懋比门而居，四方以金帛求盛画者甚众，而吴之门阒然。妻子颇笑之。曰：“二十年后不复尔。”后果如其言。
吴镇事迹收录于《画史会要》、《清河书画舫》、《六研斋笔记》、《容台集》、《仓螺集》。墨迹今存世的有《双桧平远图》轴(台湾故宫博物院藏)、《渔父图》轴(北京故宫博物院藏)、《渔父图》卷(美国佛利尔美术馆藏)、《长松图》轴(南京博物院藏)、《草书心经》卷(北京故宫博物院藏)等。其风竹刻石，陈列在嘉兴南湖烟雨楼，其八竹碑及草书《心经》碑陈列于嘉善梅花庵。又有《梅道人遗墨》2卷，系后人辑录的其诗和题跋。
吴镇非常爱梅，家室四周遍植梅树，取斋名“梅花庵”。因居处有橡林，故书斋又名“橡室”。吴镇墓
吴镇墓现存于梅花庵内，梅花庵是纪念吴镇的附属性建筑，在墓的东侧，明万历间为守墓而建。位于魏塘镇花园弄路西侧。明泰昌元年(1620)邑令吴旭和邑绅钱士升筹集款修理墓道、添建祠堂三楹、亭三楹、僧舍五楹。华亭陈继儒作《修梅花庵记》，并有董其昌书“梅花庵”匾额。后邑人曾几次筹资重修。新中国成立后，吴镇墓与梅花庵，曾多次作过修缮。由浙江省人民政府公布为省重点文物保护单位。
