p>Zhao Gou (June 12, 1107 - November 9, 1187), courtesy name Deji. The tenth emperor of the Song Dynasty and the first emperor of the Song Dynasty to move south, Song Gaozong, reigned for 35 years. The ninth son of Song Huizong, the younger brother of Song Qinzong, was once named "Kang Wang". In 1127 AD (the second year of Jingkang), after the Jin soldiers captured the Hui and Qin sects and went north, they ascended the throne in Nanjing (now Shangqiu, Henan) in Yingtian Prefecture and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Jianyan. He rejected the main militant faction's idea of ??resisting the Jin Dynasty and fled south to Lin'an (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang) where he established his capital and established the Southern Song Dynasty. During his reign, although he was forced by the situation to use generals such as Yue Fei to resist the Jin Dynasty, he still used the capitulating faction Qin Hui. Later, he sued for peace with the Jin people on humiliating terms such as ceding territory, paying tribute, and becoming vassal, and killed Yue Fei. In 1162 AD (the 32nd year of Shaoxing), Zen was established in Xiaozong of Song Dynasty and he called himself the Supreme Emperor. He is proficient in calligraphy, good at Zhen, Xing and cursive calligraphy. His writing style is free and graceful, natural and smooth, and has the charm of Jin people. He is the author of "Han Mo Zhi", and his handed down ink writings include "Cursive Luo Shen Fu" and so on.
