Emperor Yang Di also had great ambitions.
But Emperor Yangdi also did something meaningful. In the second year of his accession to the throne, he changed his country name to "great cause" and was determined to achieve great things, which made future generations admire him. For example, the construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It's just that the construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal requires a lot of money and labor, and at that time, the state treasury was short of funds. However, Yang-ti insisted on building the Grand Canal. So he can only get some money and a lot of labor by squeezing ordinary people. As a result, many people were forced to despair and had to commit suicide to get rid of it.
But the success of the Grand Canal is a great achievement in both historical and economic sense. It can be said that merit lies in the present and benefit lies in the future.
Emperor Yang Di was not only lewd, but also had many hobbies.
Although he has done some meaningful things, he has done more absurd things, and his leisure time has covered him up, so people have a bad impression on him. When all the stories are about his stupidity, he became what people call a "bad king".
Yang Di likes women very much. He is often addicted to women, which leads to the neglect of government affairs. It is said that when Yang Di went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he actually chose a thousand beautiful women on the dragon boat. These beautiful women were asked to wear white clothes and pull fibers in front of the boat to form a beautiful scenery. But this behavior is really debauchery and ridiculous.
Anyone who is familiar with Emperor Yang Di knows very well that he is most famous for his debauchery. As long as he likes women, he will be included in the palace. Emperor Yang Di drank and had fun with beautiful women every day, carefree. He also made a wonderful rule in the palace that ladies-in-waiting must wear open-backed pants every day. But when he drinks every day, has he ever thought about what kind of life ordinary people lead?
Emperor Yang Di has a bad temper, but he likes to write poems.
Emperor Yang Di was very cruel and tyrannical. Every time he goes to court, ministers look at his face and speak with fear. They are worried that if they make a mistake, they will lose their heads, and if they make Emperor Yang Di angry. It can be said that ministers in the Yang Di era put their heads on their belts every day.
However, although Emperor Yang Di had a bad temper, he liked to write poems, and his level was very high, not inferior to that of celebrities. The most rare thing is that his poems have their own characteristics, and some even become famous sentences.
He once wrote a five-character quatrain "Wild Hope", which many people must have heard of: "West Western jackdaw flies several times, and flowing water flows around the lonely village. The sunset is about to fall, and it looks very charming. " Through the description of autumn colors in Shan Ye, a lonely and depressing atmosphere is created. About autumn is synonymous with melancholy. In autumn, ancient poets would write such poems and express their inner melancholy with some sad sentences.
Because I like poetry, I set up a Jinshi.
Yang Guang is not in the habit of escaping from this poetry circle. He lamented the sad scene that everything began to wither in autumn, so he wrote this poem to express his inner loneliness. Maybe he was in a high position at that time, and no one would understand his sadness. Therefore, this poem is very emotional, the words are very appropriate and natural, and it is deeply loved by people. This poem has even spread to this day, and it has had a far-reaching impact on poets in Tang and Song Dynasties.

If Emperor Yang Di had not been dissolute and tyrannical, he might have been a good emperor. If he had not been born in the royal family, he would have become a generation of poets. It's a pity that his background can't be changed, and what he did was punished.
