Topic: Wuzong


  
  gigi's Journal (12)
The Emperor Wuzong came to the throne at thirteen and died in 1521 at twenty-nine.
But Wuzong spent only a few nights a month in the royal seraglio and retired the official whose duty it was to record dates and names on these occasions.
As deaf to Confucian lectures as Wuzong, he was a man of simple tastes who devoted himself to making fine furniture in his workshop, were he "forgot cold or heat, hunger or thirst." In this case there seems to have been some rivalry between his male and female bedmates.

Wuzong himself was an ardent Taoist, determined to drive Buddhism from China.
The persecution under Wuzong must have dampened whatever contemporary hopes may have existed for the establishment of Buddhism as the official state religion of the empire, and it enforced the realization that Buddhism could flourish only by the will of the state.

 The three Chinese emperors who banned Buddhism - China History Forum, chinese history forum
Their policies were never continued by their successors, but Confucian and Marxist historians in China have often praised them for trying to destroy the power of religion in society - especially Yuwen Yong, since he was the only one to proscribe both Buddhism and Daoism.
Tuoba Tao of the Northern Wei unified all of north China and came rather close to capturing the Liu-Song capital too; Yuwen Yong of the Northern Zhou established a military system with which he conquered the Northern Qi.
However, Li Yan (Wuzong) of the Tang was rather less accomplished - the successes in dealing with the Uyghur crisis were due to his Prime Minister Li Deyu, and Wuzong himself died young after taking too many Daoist elixirs.

While we can see some parralels with Han Wudi, but they are different in severals ways.
1) Ming Wuzong's economy and reform ability weren't as strong as Wudi's 2) the Mongols were already severly weakened from battles years ago, so while they remain a threat, they aren't enough to cause serious problems like the Xiongnu people could do during Wudi's reign.
Wuzong didn't make any of those major impacts in history.
