Life of the characters

Shi Zhao set up his ambition very early, and his law was very strict. He was extremely filial to his mother. He learned from Lou Yu, a famous scholar in his hometown. Living in the countryside, the villagers had fights, so they all went to the imperial edict office to seek a ruling instead of going to the government. In 1108, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty established "filial piety, friendship, amity, marriage, appointment, compassion, Zhonghe, and harmony" as the "eight elements" to select talents. Shi Zhao, the imperial concubine of the Imperial Academy, gave up his position as a prefect. Instead of taking office, Shi Zhao moved to Datian mountain on the Bank of Dongqian Lake to serve his aged mother. During the Xuanhe period (1119-1125), the emperor again issued an imperial edict, but Shi Zhao did not go to his post. Huizong of the Song Dynasty rewarded him with the title of "eight elements high scholar". Later generations also called Shi Zhao "eight elements Gong", and built "eight elements hall" to commemorate Shi Zhao. Shi Zhao died in the third year of Jianyan (1129) at the age of 73. He gave it to Taishi and Duke Yue.
