Emperor Huizong (7 June 1082 – 4 June 1135), formerly romanized as Emperor Hui-tsung of Sung, was the eighth and one of the most famous emperors of the Song dynasty of China, with a personal life spent amidst luxury, sophistication and art but ending in tragedy. It was during his reign that the Jurchens of the Jin dynasty invaded, beginning the Jin–Song Wars. Born Zhao Ji, he succeeded his brother as emperor. He reigned from 1100 to 1126. When the Jurchens invaded, he resigned in favor of his son. He and the new emperor were captured by the Jurchens in the Jingkang Incident. They died as prisoners in Manchuria. Huizong was famed for his promotion of Taoism. He was also a skilled poet, painter, calligrapher, and musician. He sponsored numerous artists at his court, and the catalogue of his imperial painting collection lists over 6,000 known paintings.〔Ebrey, Cambridge, 149.〕 His temple name means "Honorary Ancestor." ==Biography== Emperor Huizong of Song, besides his partaking in state affairs that favored the Reformist party that supported Wang Anshi's New Policies, was a cultured leader who spent much of his time admiring the arts. He was a collector of paintings, calligraphies, and antiques of previous Chinese eras, building huge collections of each for his amusement. He wrote poems of his own, was known as an avid painter, created his own calligraphy style, had interests in architecture and garden design, and even wrote treatises on medicine and Daoism.〔Ebrey, 165.〕 He assembled an entourage of court painters that were first pre-screened in an examination to enter as official artists of the court, and made reforms to court music.〔 Like many learned men of his age, he was quite a polymath personality. However, his reign would be forever scarred by the decisions made (by counsel he received) on handling foreign policy, as the end of his reign marked a period of disaster for Song China. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emperor Huizong of Song」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
