The emperors with the best calligraphy are as follows:

The first thing to mention is the Tang Dynasty, which Li Bai called "Taizong's laws, the establishment of things and the establishment of affairs, the establishment of civilization and civilization, and the prosperity of military affairs". Taizong Li Shimin. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty not only made remarkable achievements in politics and military affairs, but was also an emperor with very superb calligraphy skills.

Huaisu, a great calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty, once commented on his calligraphy, "It has a refreshing charm, a dangerous and wide vertical and horizontal direction, a sharp and powerful style, and a wonderful and moist hair". According to "Wenyuan Yinghua", in the unforgettable poem "Nine Gifts of Asking the Heaven" written by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, every word has a strict structure, which shows the superb calligraphy skills of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

The second is Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang loved culture and was also very good at calligraphy. He was known as "Zhu Wen Gong". He liked to use the Book of Songs to teach the works of Huai Su, an accomplished calligrapher during the Tang Dynasty.

Three calligraphy masters were selected as official calligraphers, namely Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, and Yu Youren. Zhu Yuanzhang left many excellent handwritings to posterity. His representative works include the inscription "Ding Kiln Consultation Plan" and the inscribed stone tablet "Stele of the Xiaoling Tomb of the Ming Dynasty".

What I want to mention again is Kangxi, the holy ancestor of the Qing Dynasty. Unlike other emperors, Kangxi had extremely high political accomplishments, and his calligraphy was as beautiful and serious as his politics. "Kuaicao Imperial Edict" is one of his masterpieces.

Use two sharp and smooth calligraphy styles to show care for the people and loyalty to the motherland. He also designed and engraved clocks with his own hand, and wrote the words "This is the emperor." in cursive, which was finally recorded in "Xi Zhai Xu Ji".

The last character is Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. In order to promote culture and art, he began to learn strokes and cursive calligraphy when he was a child, and his master was Shi Tao, a famous calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty.

During his reign, Emperor Qianlong promoted the prosperity of calligraphy art, personally participated in the selection of engraving craftsmen, and guided the construction of ancient buildings and sculpture art, making outstanding contributions to traditional Chinese culture and art. His representative works include "Book of Songs Picture Scroll", "Fan Landscape", etc.

In short, throughout the history of Chinese dynasties, the art of calligraphy was inseparable from politics and culture. The calligraphy achievements of emperors were also an important criterion for judging their current political and cultural achievements.
