China welcomed another division of the north and south, and also welcomed the third generation of Zhao Song, Zhao Heng. Although the Chanyuan alliance had stabilized the regime of the Central Plains, the rumors of the three generations of improper positions were like ghosts in the middle of the night, wandering inside and outside the country. Thus, the orthodox Heavenly Book Movement was vigorously staged. Thousands of auspicious signs came. In this pursuit of fame and fortune, an extremely brilliant light came over a thousand years, turning into a cluster of flowers that bloomed only for the golden age. At the age of nine, he went to the court and the emperor personally tried him. Four years in the examination, the first in ancient and modern times. The five dynasties did not fall, and the reputation was mixed. The emperor called him "an example for all generations." The world called it "the auspicious sign of the Heavenly Dynasty." It was known as "the rule of prodigies".
