Chapter 85 The third section departs from the original intention of the grandfather

King Sejong of the Jin Dynasty enjoyed the reputation of "Little Yao and Shun".He has been in power for 29 years, and the Jin Kingdom was peaceful and prosperous, and the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful. It is known as the "Government of Dading" in history.Then, after Jin Zhangzong Wanyanjing, the heir to the throne carefully selected and cultivated by Jin Shizong, came to power, how will the fate of the Jin Kingdom change? Emperor Zhangzong was a ruler of success. As soon as he came to power, the Kingdom of Jin moved towards the road of Sinicization without any suspense, completely departing from the national customs as envisioned by Emperor Sejong.Emperor Zhangzong's father was a literati prince with deep Sinicization, and his mother was a talented woman who worked in poetry and books. Therefore, Emperor Zhangzong's literary accomplishment was unmatched among the emperors of the Jin Dynasty.Regardless of the inscription, his calligraphy is Song Huizong's handwriting, exactly the same thin gold style.In European auction houses, there have been incidents where Jin Zhangzong's inscription was mistaken for Song Huizong.A painting with Zhang Zong's inscription on it was mistaken for Song Huizong's because it was not signed or treasured, and the painting fetched a high price.Later, after research by experts, it was discovered that it was not Song Huizong's characters, but Jin Zhangzong's characters.Emperor Huizong's thin gold body is unique in the world, and no one can imitate it. Jin Zhangzong can imitate it so vividly, which shows his profound calligraphy attainments.

Emperor Zhangzong was not only proficient in calligraphy and painting, but also had a high level of literary accomplishment.His words, like Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, are fresh and beautiful, completely different from the bold and unrestrained style of King Hailing.Among them, there is a song "Butterfly Love Flower", which is handed down, which describes the folding fan: "Several Xiangjiang dragons are thin and skeletal, and they are churning in a clever way, overlapping to form Xiangbo wrinkles. The golden thread is small, the flowers and grass are bucketed, and the emerald strips are more knotted. The golden palace bead curtain is idle. Yong Zhou, grasping the cool breeze, feeling joy in his arms for a while. Suddenly listening to the rush of the propaganda, he gently faded into the fragrant sleeves." Typical graceful style.

An emperor with such a high level of Sinicization naturally changed Jurchen's customs and completely deviated from his grandfather's earnest teachings.When he was in power, the imperial examination system was greatly promoted to complete the imperial examination system.
