Chen Shubao

Chen Shubao , also known as Houzhu of Chen , posthumous name Duke Yang of Changcheng , courtesy name Yuanxiu , nickname Huangnu , was the last emperor of the Chinese Chen Dynasty. At the time of his ascension, Chen was already facing military pressure by Sui Dynasty on multiple fronts, and, according to traditional historians, Chen Shubao was an incompetent ruler who was more interested in literature and women than in the affairs of the state. In 589, Sui forces captured his capital Jiankang and seized him, ending Chen and unifying China after nearly three centuries of division, which started during the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin. He was taken to the Sui capital Changan, where he was treated kindly by Emperor Wen of Sui until his death in 604, during the reign of Emperor Wens son Emperor Yang of Sui.

Chen Shubao was born in 553, when his father Chen Xu was serving as a midlevel official under Emperor Yuan of Liang at Emperor Yuans capital Jiangling. His mother was Chen Xus second wife Liu Jingyan, and he was Chen Xus oldest son.
