				Zhao Gou (1107-1187)<br />
				Cursive script <br />Zhao Gou was the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. He reigned from 1127 to 1162 but lived on following his<br />
				 abdication until he was 80. As emperor, he was known as Gaozong. Zhao Gou was the ninth son of Zhao Ji, the last acting<br />
				emperor of theNorthern Song. The demarkation between the Northern and Southern Song was due to the invasion of the the<br />
				Jurchens from the north. Zhao Ji first led attempts to repel them and then switched to a policy of consolidation and containment<br />
					in the south. He established his capital at Lin'an, today's Hangzhou. Zhao Gou is one of many emperors who have excelled at poetry,<br />
				 calligraphy and painting. Other emperors have lived a life of leisure focused on their poetry rather than on their<br />
					responsibilities. Zhao Gou was not one of them. He was active militarily, politically, and economically in government.<br />
