Song Dynasty Fragility Warning

“Sometimes aesthetics is a luxury and even linked to death. The exquisite aesthetic created in the Song dynasty was too fragile, and in the end, it led to the dynasty’s destruction. This prompts me to think: maintaining a good balance is vital for individuals and businesses. The foundation of the Huazhu group is Hanting and JI Hotels, and our crown will only have one or two dazzling diamonds, which I consider a good balance. If we paved our road to the future with gold and precious stones, this enterprise of ours would be in danger of becoming as fragile as the Song dynasty.”

“I have recently been studying the history and culture of the Song dynasty (960-1279) because in my quest to create a truly top-class hotel I have found nourishment in the aesthetics of the Song dynasty lifestyle.”
