The founders of Liang regime in the Southern and Northern Dynasties liked to study classics and history and believed in Buddhism. He is also proficient in poetry, melody, painting and Go, and is a famous writer. Xiao Yan was also very talented in his early years. He made meritorious military service first, and was highly valued by the King of Qi. Later, he was dissatisfied with Xiao Baojuan's fatuous rule in eastern Nanqi. The abolished emperor took Xiao Baorong as the king and was promoted to Fu. After taking power, he wants to stand on his own two feet and be emperor. With the support of Fan, he forced Xiao Baorong to swallow gold and commit suicide, and established the Liang Dynasty instead of Qi State. Xiao Yan made remarkable achievements in the early days when he proclaimed himself emperor. Later, suspicious, improper employment. Hou Jing was imprisoned in the palace by Hou Jing during the rebellion and starved to death.
Li Yu, the ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty, had little influence on the ancient emperors of China, but had far-reaching influence in the ancient literary world. Li Yujing has certain attainments in calligraphy, painting, melody, poetry and prose, especially in ci. He is a representative figure of Huajian Ci School, unique among the five pronouns in the late Tang Dynasty, and has a far-reaching influence on later ci circles. A man who was so accomplished in poetry, but made no achievements in governing the country, was finally captured by Song Taizu, died in the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty and perished in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Speaking of Li Yu, we have to mention Song Huizong Xu Huixin, which is called Little Li Yu. It is said that Xu Huixin's father, Zong Shen, "sighed and froze again and again" after seeing the portrait of Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then he gave birth to Hui Zong. Xu Huixin had a keen interest in art since he was a child, and he was a rare artistic genius and all-rounder in ancient times. He is the founder of meticulous painting, and he created his own unique' thin body' in calligraphy. As he grew older, he began to indulge in sensory enjoyment. Even when he became emperor, he had no intention to manage government affairs, and he was still immersed in the world of art and beauty. Finally, he was caught and handed over to Mao as a prisoner. He was imprisoned for nine years and died of mental torture in five kingdoms.
Although these three literati emperors were brilliant, in that turbulent era, art could not protect itself or govern the country. Maybe their ending is doomed.
