The most extreme is the late master Li Yu, who has not achieved any political achievements, but has become an excellent poet and is called "the sage of ci" by later generations. Many excellent works have entered the teaching materials, such as Meeting Without Words, Huanxisha, Memorizing Jiangnan and so on. The ups and downs of fate have also enriched Li Yu's ci. His early court life was full of love affairs, and his hatred for his home country after his later national subjugation was both profound and tragic. Li Yu is the person who understands this gap best. Moreover, he can not only write, but also be good at painting and calligraphy, as Guo once commented in the Song Dynasty. Li Yu, the queen of Jiangnan, can understand green hills and be good at painting and calligraphy.
There is also an emperor who can be both civil and military, that is, Emperor Qianlong. Thanks to the governance of Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty reached its peak during the Qianlong period, during which Xinjiang was included in the territory, making the Qing Dynasty's area the largest. Emperor Qianlong also had a gift for languages, and he was proficient in Manchu (including old Manchu and new Manchu), Chinese and Mongolian, as well as Tibetan and Uygur. He also likes to write poems, and there are still 40 thousand poems left in the world. However, compared with Li Yu, his literary value is much worse, but his cultural accomplishments can also be seen.
Emperors of past dynasties were mostly dragons and phoenixes among the people, and they were well educated. Many emperors have high cultural attainments, such as Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Tang Xuanzong and Song Huizong.
