Huizong- Emperor and Artist

Huizong was last the emperor in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was not like the other emperors of a couple of reasons. For one he was very gentle. He did not go around killing people when he did something wrong. Another thing is that he was not the best emperor. He was not very good with politics. Finally difference of Huizong is that he loved art. it was one of his most favorite things. Throughout his life he contributed greatly to art in china. He even invented a style of calligraphy called "Slender Gold Style". Huizong also was very good at the types of art in Ancient China; painting, poetry, and calligraphy. Also Huizong founded a school of painting called: The School of Painting. In his school Huizong personally taught students how to paint landscapes and still life paintings.
