Li Jing

Li Jing, Yuanzong of the Southern Tang Dynasty (916-September 12, 961), also known as Boyu, was originally known as Xu Jingtong and Xu Yao. After the establishment of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he changed his surname to Li and changed his name to Jing. After becoming a minister to the Later Zhou Dynasty, he changed his name to Jing, a native of Xuzhou, and the eldest son of Liezu of the Southern Tang Dynasty in order to avoid the taboo of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Li Jing was the second monarch of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, so he was also called the central lord and heir lord. Li Jing's calligraphy is quite good and his poetry is also famous. Together with his son Li Yu, he is known as the "Two Masters of the Southern Tang Dynasty". His poems include "The dream of drizzle returns to the chicken plug far away, and the small building blows through the cold jade pipe." "The blue bird does not convey the clouds and foreign messages, and the lilacs are empty and sad in the rain." are all famous lines that have been immortalized through the ages. His works are included in "Two Main Ci Poems of the Southern Tang Dynasty".
