Later, people often compare Li Yu and Song Huizong, just because both Song Huizong and Li Yu are talented poets and calligraphers, but they are also kings of national subjugation. After all, their fates are similar. So some good people treat them as one person.
Song Huizong, the eighth emperor of the Song Dynasty, was also a famous painter and calligrapher. Brilliant as Song Huizong is, he doesn't want to manage politics. During his reign, he appointed treacherous court officials such as Cai Jing, which caused chaos in the world, made the world unstable in the Song Dynasty, and led to frequent peasant uprisings in the Song Dynasty.
However, Song Huizong used his power to greatly accelerate the development of calligraphy and painting. He also created a calligraphy font called Shoujinti, which can be said to be one of the rare emperors with artistic cells in ancient times.
Unfortunately, the Northern Song Dynasty finally destroyed the country, and Song Huizong and his son Song Qinzong were captured by the Jin people and finally died in the Five Kingdoms City. It was not until seven years later that Song Huizong's bones were transported back to Beijing by the Southern Song Dynasty and buried in Shaoxing.
Li Yu was the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. When he was a teenager, Li Yu saw his brothers vying for the position of emperor. So after Li Yu became emperor, he didn't want to interfere in state affairs. As a result, the political situation in Nantang plummeted.
But Li Yu is proficient in calligraphy and painting, temperament and poetry. He has his own attainments in these things, and even told his father. Although Li Yu's business is not good, he is unique among the pronouns of Tang and Five Dynasties. Li Yu's ci has a far-reaching influence on later poetry.
But unfortunately, the two of them were not ordered by the king. They were born in the wrong family.
