What kind of person is Zhao Gou?

Zhao Gou, his name is Deji. The founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, namely Song Gaozong. Song Huizong's ninth son, Song Qinzong's brother, was once called "Kang Wang". In A.D. 1 127 (the second year of Jingkang), after capturing Hui and Qin, Jin Bing ascended the throne in Yingtianfu and rebuilt Yan. Rejecting the anti-gold claim of the main war faction, he fled south to Lin 'an (now Hangzhou) as the capital and established the Southern Song regime. During his reign, although Yue Fei and other generals resisted the gold due to the situation, the capitulator Qin Gui was reused. Later, he made peace with the Jin people and killed Yue Fei under humiliating conditions such as cutting land, paying tribute and being a vassal. 1 162 (thirty-two years of Shaoxing), Zen was located in Song Xiaozong and claimed to be the emperor's father. He is good at calligraphy, good at truth, line and cursive, and his brushwork is free and easy, natural and smooth, which won the charm of Jin people. He is the author of Mohan Ji, and the ink handed down from ancient times is cursive "Luo Shen Fu".

On the evaluation of Zhao Gou, all previous dynasties tended to be the master of fatuity. However, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the capital of Bianliang was captured by the Jin people in a hurry, and the two emperors "went north for hunting". When Zhao Gou crossed the south, there were only one thousand Qin Bingren around him. However, through various methods, he quickly mobilized personnel to defend the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River, and laid the foundation for the Southern Song Dynasty. Jia Zhiyang's "Wild Aristocrats-Family History of the Emperor in Song Dynasty" commented: "The revival of Song Dynasty was due to Zhao Gou's escape." If he didn't run away, but died in the north, something worse might happen.

Professor Zhu Ruixi, the former president of China Song History Society, believed that although he insisted on making peace with Jin, he was the leader of the capitulators, but he also organized and directed the war against Jin. After Song Gaozong established the Southern Song Dynasty, it still used the name and official date of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Song Gaozong's merits and demerits are mixed and cannot be completely denied.
