== The artist and emperor--Zhao Ji ==

Zhao Ji(赵佶)， one of the emperors of the Song dynasty,he was the eleventh son of Shenzong Song(宋神宗）.During the ruling,he put the Cai Jing（蔡京） in an important position,the prime minister,and his power was only second to the emperor at that time.As we all know, Cai was a fraudulent and corrupt man,when he took over the high and enviable position,he abused his power to feather his nest.However,Zhao was not aware of it,he regarded him as a official loyal to his sovereign.

As a emperor of Song dynasty,Zhao ji was a absolute failure,but as a "The first one of the world" artist,he was a real success.As a emperor who was fond of art with high enthusiasm,he was a complete tyrant.To build the Huayang Palace(华阳宫）,to gather the fancy flowers and peculiar stones of the regions south of the Yangtze River,witch was called "Flowers and stones Class"(花石纲)，he was extremely extravagant and luxurious, and excessively increased the taxes.Eventually,the abused power leaded to the revolt of the masses. Even the All Men Are Brothers,witch is a popular novel among Chinese,even among the people of the world,is set in the period of his reign.As a artist with the highest position of that time,the emperor identity,he contributed to the art a lot,he expanded the members of the Imperial Art Academy,assembled artists,set up drawing course with high enthusiasm,and collected the antiques,painting and calligraphy with a big range.his representative works with his signature include " hibiscus and Golden Pheasant ",(《芙蓉锦鸡图》)"The pond and the late autumn"（《池塘晚秋图》）.Under the leadership of emperor in the arts lovers,the academy has formed a new painting style-"Xuanheti"in styles.

Additionally, he commanded the civil officials to edit a large amount of the literature of art,and other important materials.For himself,he preferred himself as the artist,not as the emperor,he was excel in handwriting,he create his own style,the Thin Gold Style.What's more,he was most distinguished of his Chinese realistic painting birds and flowers ,he made great contributions to the development of Chinese painting and the inherit of Chinese culture.

He was another Li Yu(李煜) to a degree,they were all fond of art and literature with deep love,they could give up their power and position to pursue what interested them and the things they liked.Although they were fatuous and self-indulgent ruler in secular ideas,they achieved great success in the fields witch they were good at.As the old Chinese saying goes,it 's unfortunate for the country,but it's fortunate for the fields of poetry.(国家不幸，诗家幸。),it's suitable to the two emperors of ancient China.they were all titled with the bad fame,people regard them as the tyrants,but they also had their own confusion and anxiety.As Li said,"Q-jun to have how many unhappy, looking like a Spring River Flows East" ,that is Li Yu subjugation of trouble.

At the eighth year of Xuanhe,the rank-and-file soldiers of Jin dynasty set out to the south,witch is the territory of Song dynasty,at the same year, Zhao Ji handed his power and position to his son,Zhao Heng.Title of the reigning dynasty is Jing Kang.Two years later,he died in the Yi Lan finally.As a average people at this time,I appreciate him as a artist,he had better not be as the ruler of a dynasty.On the condition that he had hand over power and position to his son before the conquest of the soldiers of Jin dynasty.At the crisis time that the attacking army had reached the city gates,he resigned sovereign authority,it reflected his weakness and he was a incompetent to a degree.Nevertheless,history has not 'if',so that Zhao Ji was unfortunate as a emperor,it's also upset;he was not unfortunate and sad as a artist.
