The Sui Dynasty Emperor Yang Guang was a famous tyrant in Chinese history, as can be seen from his courtesy name "炀". According to the Law of Sayings: Good Inner Far Away Rituals, Going Far Away From The People Knows The Burning, Against the Heavens and Abuses the People, Good Great Destruction Of The Government, Thin Affection and Widowhood, and Dede Wasteland. Ironically, when Chen Hou's lord Shu bao died after 15 years of subjugation, he gave Chen Shubao the same nickname as "炀".

In short: during the 13-year reign of the Sui Emperor, almost every year he had to conscript and serve in the army, opening canals, building palaces, repairing chi roads, building the Great Wall, attacking Linyi in the south, conquering the Turks in the north, Tuguhun in the west, and crusading against Goguryeo, making the people tired and rising up one after another. In fact, if the Sui Emperor is evaluated from a historical perspective, he is different from the fallen monarchs in history. In addition, he has also done all the above things, and he has done all the same, not all of them. The picture shows archaeologists excavating the tomb of the Sui Dynasty Emperor.
The Sui Emperor built the eastern capital Luoyang, strengthening his control over the Kwantung Region; digging canals not only promoted cultural exchanges between the north and the south, but also effectively curbed the invasion of the Northern Turks and Goguryeo; and built the Great Wall and chi road to consolidate the national defense of the Sui Dynasty. Most importantly, the Sui Emperor's series of good and great achievements actually laid the foundation for the tang dynasty to become stronger.

In fact, if the Sui Emperor could learn from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and implement the national policy of living with the people before the people's power collapsed, the Sui Dynasty would not die twice. However, hao Daxigong's character doomed him to go farther and farther. In the end, a mutiny broke out, and the Sui Emperor was hanged by his cronies Yu Wenhua. After the death of Emperor Shi Zai of Sui, "Empress Xiao ordered the palace people to remove the bed as a coffin to bury it." After the transformation and development, the Right Imperial Guard general Chen Ling was buried in the Chengxiang Palace in the Chengxiang Palace.
