There was a great artist and collector among the emperors of the Song Dynasty in China. Who is this man? Thank you, everyone.
Song Huizong (1082 ~ 1 135) (the second declining emperor after the Northern Song Dynasty) was an emperor, painter and calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty in China. Eleven sons of Song Shenzong, the brother of Zhezong. Zhezong died of illness, and the queen mother made him emperor. He was the eighth emperor of the Song Dynasty (reigned1100 ~1125), and was captured and sentenced for 25 years. He died at the age of 54 and was buried in Yongyou Mausoleum (now 35 miles southeast of Shaoxing County, Zhejiang Province). During his reign, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Yang Jian and other treacherous officials presided over the court affairs, plundering the wealth of the people and being extravagant and dissolute. Establish an article manufacturing bureau dedicated to the royal family. They also searched around for exotic flowers and stones and transported them to Kaifeng, called "Flower Stone Class", to build Yanfu Palace and Genyue. He believed in Taoism, calling himself "the founder of Taoism, Emperor Daojun", built a large number of temples, set up 26 Taoist officials and paid Taoist salaries. During his reign, rebellion led by Fang La and Song Jiang broke out. In the second year of Xuanhe (1 120), he sent envoys to make peace with the rulers and attack Liao. In the seventh year of Xuanhe, Jin Jun went south to attack the Song Dynasty. He was transferred to Zhao Huan (Qinzong) and claimed to be the emperor's father. In the second year of Jingkang (1 127), he was captured by Jin Bing together with Qin Zong. Later, he was imprisoned in the north and died in Wu Guocheng (now Yilan, Heilongjiang). During his twenty-six years in office, he was incompetent in governing the country, but his artistic talent was quite high. Calligraphy is called "thin gold body", and handed down paintings include "Furong Golden Rooster" and "Late Autumn by the Pool", which can also be used as poems. During Song Huizong's reign, he extensively collected antiques, calligraphy and painting, expanded the Hanlin Painting Academy, and asked civil servants to edit books such as Xuanhe Pu Shu, Xuanhe Painting Spectrum and Xuanhe Bo Gu Picture, which greatly promoted and advocated the art of painting. Playing the bomb, painting and calligraphy, singing and lyrics are all good. I have a lot of works in my life, all of which have been lost. The existing paintings include Furong Golden Rooster, Autumn Night in the Pond, Four Birds and Guixue River. There is a collection of Song Huizong's Ci. Before he became an emperor, he liked painting and calligraphy, and he was connected with painters, such as Xu and Zhao Lingmi's imperial clan. After he acceded to the throne, he was politically incompetent, but he made great achievements in painting and calligraphy, and made important contributions to the development of China's painting, one of which was his emphasis on and development of the Academy of Painting. In the third year of Chongning (1 104), paintings were established and formally included in the imperial examination to attract painters from all over the world. Painting credits include Buddhism, Taoism, figures, landscapes, birds and animals, flowers and trees, houses and trees, and ancient poems are selected as examination questions. After being admitted, they are divided into "scholar flow" and "miscellaneous flow" according to their identity, living in different places, cultivating and constantly assessing. Those who enter the Academy will be awarded the titles of painting correction, art study, waiting for imperial edict, honouring and painting student. At that time, the status of painters was obviously improved, and both clothing and salary were higher than other artists. With such generous treatment and Hui Zong's guidance and care for the creation of the Academy as a painter, the creation of the Academy in this period was the most prosperous. Under his instruction, the royal collection was also greatly enriched, and the paintings and calligraphy collected in the palace were compiled into Xuanhe Shupu and Xuanhe Huapu, which became important materials for studying the history of ancient painting today. Evonne's own creative face is not as exquisite as he asked the painters in the Academy of Painting, but a rough ink painting. Among the works handed down from ancient times, there are many signed works, but the paintings are more detailed, such as "Dragon Stone Map", "Lotus Golden Rooster Map", "Listening to Songs", "Snow River Returning to Mountain Map" (all in the Palace Museum), "Ruihetu" (in the Liaoning Provincial Museum) and "Bamboo and Birds" (in the Metropolitan Museum of America). Both paintings are ink and wash paper, and the brushwork is simple, not flashy and natural. The Autumn Night Map of Pond collected in the National Palace Museum in Taipei also belongs to this category. The famous Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is also related to this painting and calligraphy emperor. After Zhang Zeduan finished this long scroll praising the history of the Millennium, he first presented it to Song Huizong. Song Huizong became the first collector of this painting. As a master of calligraphy and painting in the history of China, Song Huizong loved this painting very much. He wrote the words "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" in his famous "Shoujin Style" calligraphy, and made a seal script of Shuanglong (now lost).
