This article explores Emperor Liu Jun’s portrayal in historical narratives of the Liu Song and Northern Wei dynasties. Drawing on literary sources such as temple hymns, poems, edicts, and decrees, it examines how Liu Jun mirrores his ancestor Emperor Wu though omens, internal pacification, and efforts to reclaim lost territory. Learning from his father Emperor Wen’s failed northern campaigns, Liu Jun shifted focus from military confrontation to cultural revival. He emphasized the restoration of rites and music, literary patronage, and symbolic gestures such as renaming his father’s posthumous title from“Jing”to“Wen”to enhance literary legacy and obscure military defeats. Liu Jun also revived national education and used imperial gatherings to promote literature, crafting a new image of the“Great Song”. This cultural emphasis helped establish a literary identity for the Southern Dynasties, serving as an alternative form of resistance against the North. |
