Lead: Li Yu, the third monarch of Southern Tang Dynasty, was known as Li Houzhu in history. He is good at calligraphy, painting, melody, poetry and writing, especially at words. The content can be mainly divided into two categories: the first category was written before the Song Dynasty, which mainly reflected the court life and the love between men and women, and the subject matter was narrow.
The second category is written by Li Yu after the Song Dynasty with the grief of national subjugation and his own feelings. The achievements of his works in this period far exceed those in the previous period, which can be described as excellent works.
1, true collection
Li Yu is good at appreciation and has a rich collection of books. There are tens of thousands of books of calligraphy and painting in the palace, including many original calligraphy posts by Zhong You and Wang Xizhi. All public and private collections are printed with the words "Collection in Inner Hall", "Treasure of Jianye Study" and "Jixian Temple Academy". , or a signature inscription, or a miscellaneous poem.
Song Jun wanted to capture Jinling, and Li Yu said to Bao, "This is my treasure. If the city is unguarded, you can burn it. " After the destruction of Jinling City, Huang took all the paintings and calligraphy in the palace for himself.
2. Respect Buddha.
Li Yuku likes pagodas. He once built Yongmu Palace in the palace and Jingde Temple in the forest garden. He also set up a temple in Zhongshan with the inscription "Dojo for Repaying Gratitude", which provided nearly a thousand monks every day, and all expenses were paid by the court. Li Yu's belief in Buddhism has reached the level of obsession, and even quite abolished politics.
According to unofficial history's records, at that time, the Northern Dynasties (Song Dynasty) secretly chose people who had a glib tongue to go to the Southern Tang Dynasty to bewitch the latter. Li Yu didn't know that a Buddha was born, so he called it "Little Elder". Talk to him day and night about six roots, four truths and karma. The "little elder" advised Li Yuguang to build a stupa and gather people to talk about Buddha, which was extremely extravagant.
Song Junbing surrounded Jinling, and Li Yu called the "little elders" to discuss what to defend. The "little elders" waved flags and retreated from the enemy. Song Bing actually retreated, and the emperor was overjoyed, and ordered the soldiers to read the Sutra of Saving Avalokitesvara. When the Southern Tang Dynasty was dying, Li Yu summoned the "little elder" to retreat from the enemy, and the "little elder" could not get sick. After Huang Jixun's death, Li Yu realized that he had been cheated and killed the "little elder".
Step 3 be generous and filial
Li Yu's nature is pure filial piety, good life and abstinence from killing. After he succeeded to the throne, he served the Central Plains and was not afraid of being humble. Light corvee, with the strength of the real people, the southern Tang Dynasty was able to be partial for fifteen years. Li Yu is kind and generous in politics. Every time there is a death sentence, he cries. If Zhang Si in Xi 'an was wrong, Li Yu couldn't sleep well. He went to Dali Temple several times to review the prison case and released many people.
Han Xizai, assistant minister of Zhongshu, plays Li Yu. He thought that the prison proceedings were under the control of his own prison, and the prison place was not suitable for the emperor to visit. He demanded that the state treasury be fined 3 million yuan for state use. Li Yu didn't listen, but she wasn't angry either. After he entered the Song Dynasty, he was depressed and often wrote poems with others in Jinling Old Palace. He is in an abnormal mood, which is hard to restrain. After the bad news came out, many people in Jiangnan gathered in the alley to cry.
