Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was an outstanding politician and writer in the Tang Dynasty. His works were famous for political commentaries and poetry. He personally wrote twelve chapters of "Emperor's Model", systematically expounding the strategy of governing the country, emphasizing equal emphasis on "benevolent government" and "rule of law", and became a model text for later emperors to cultivate themselves and govern the country. Not many of his poems have survived, but his poems such as "Giving Xiao Yu" and "Going to Santai to express his ambitions" are deep and powerful, showing both imperial demeanor and humanistic care. He has outstanding attainments in calligraphy, and the "Hot Spring Inscription" is written in running script, creating a new style of imperial calligraphy. Li Shimin advocated "cultivating literature through martial arts" and established the Hongwen Museum to cultivate talents and promote the cultural prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. His works not only reflect great talents and broad strategies, but also contain an inclusive cultural mind, injecting spiritual core into the prosperous atmosphere of the "Reign of Zhenguan".
