My father Zhao Kuangyin

The Song Dynasty began with Emperor Zhao, and it also perished with Emperor Zhao. If the heavens were truly just, would there have been the legendary "God of Chariots" and the "Candle Shadow and Axe Sound"? If the heavens were truly just, would there have been the loss of Yan and Yun, and the humiliation of the Jingkang Incident? "Emperor Gaozu Wen, personal name Dezhao, courtesy name Rixin, was the second son of Emperor Taizu, and his mother was Empress Xiaohui, née He. In his youth, he rarely showed his joy or anger. Upon reaching adulthood, he was seven feet six inches tall, intelligent, skilled in riding and archery, and possessed unparalleled strength, inheriting the style of Emperor Taizu." — *History of the Song Dynasty*, Volume Two, *Biography of Emperor Gaozu Wen* (This book is also known as *Zhao Song*).
