Modern Chinese is apt to be less subtle than its English counterpart.

For example, there's a distinction between "slander" and "libel" in modern English, where there's no such thing in today's Chinese.

J's proper life is busy and full of efforts for trying to achieve higher. It's kind of sad his father doesn't understand that.

Completed - Ancient emperors, kings, and state heads with a knack of literature, music, or both

Part 1:

I would say that the Tudor Dynasty of Welsh origin which had ruled the Kingdom of England has begun to intrigue me more and more.

And in that particular House of Tudor, Henry VIII, who was the 2nd king, is definitely a spectacular figure. He romantically, well, at least I guess, named one of his then very powerful warships as Mary Rose. And

Henry cultivated the image of a Renaissance Man and his court was a centre of scholarly and artistic innovation and glamorous excess, epitomised by the Field of the Cloth of Gold. He was an accomplished musician, author, and poet. His best known musical composition is "Pastime with Good Company" or "The Kynges Ballade". He was an avid gambler and dice player, and excelled at sports, especially jousting, hunting, and real tennis. He was known for his strong defence of conventional Christian piety.

Furthermore, he's often been reputed to be the author of the ever popular English folk song Greensleeves. And he married six times in his lifetime, while he also beheaded a couple of his legal wives.

What a figure he is.



Part 2:

In the same year in which Henry VIII of England died, in the far-flung and cold Russia, Ivan the Terrible, for whom "Ivan the Fearsome" might be a more suitable nickname (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_the_Terrible#Sobriquet ), officially crowned as the Tsar of All Russia.

"Ivan was a poet, a composer of considerable talent". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_the_Terrible#Arts )

By the way, the grandfather of Ivan the Terrible is, er, Ivan the Great.



Part 3:

Alfonso the Wise, an ancient king in Spain, also had a knack of literature and other intellectual activities.

Alfonso established Spanish as a language of higher learning,

and was a prolific author of Galician poetry, such as the Cantigas de Santa Maria, which are equally notable for their musical notation as for their literary merit. Alfonso's scientific interests—he is sometimes nicknamed "the Astrologer" (el Astrólogo)—led him to sponsor the creation of the Alfonsine tables, and the Alphonsus crater on the moon is named after him. As a legislator he introduced the first vernacular law code in Spain, the Siete Partidas.

Part 4:

Frederick the Great, a King of Prussia, was quite fond of music and philosophy. He's a very intriguing historical figure, I think.

Interested primarily in music and philosophy and not the arts of war during his youth, Frederick unsuccessfully attempted to flee from his authoritarian father, Frederick William I, with childhood friend Hans Hermann von Katte, whose execution he was forced to watch after they were captured. Upon ascending to the Prussian throne, he attacked Austria and claimed Silesia during the Silesian Wars, winning military acclaim for himself and Prussia. Near the end of his life, Frederick physically connected most of his realm by conquering Polish territories in the First Partition of Poland. 

Frederick was a proponent of enlightened absolutism. For years he was a correspondent of Voltaire, with whom the king had an intimate, if turbulent, friendship. He modernized the Prussian bureaucracy and civil service and promoted religious tolerance throughout his realm. Frederick patronized the arts and philosophers, and wrote flute music.

He's a "gifted musician" and composer. He wanted to be a philosopher king. And, he speaks at least six languages.

Frederick was a gifted musician who played the transverse flute. He composed 100 sonatas for the flute as well as four symphonies. The Hohenfriedberger Marsch, a military march, was supposedly written by Frederick to commemorate his victory in the Battle of Hohenfriedberg during the Second Silesian War. His court musicians included C. P. E. Bach, Johann Joachim Quantz, Carl Heinrich Graun and Franz Benda. A meeting with Johann Sebastian Bach in 1747 in Potsdam led to Bach's writing The Musical Offering. 

Frederick also aspired to be a Platonic philosopher king like the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. The king joined the Freemasons in 1738 and stood close to the French Enlightenment, admiring above all its greatest thinker, Voltaire, with whom he corresponded frequently. The personal friendship of Frederick and Voltaire came to an unpleasant end after Voltaire's visit to Berlin and Potsdam in 1750–1753, although they reconciled from afar in later years. 

In addition to his native language, German, Frederick spoke French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian; he also understood Latin, ancient and modern Greek, and Hebrew. Preferring instead French culture, Frederick disliked the German language, literature, and culture, explaining that German authors "pile parenthesis upon parenthesis, and often you find only at the end of an entire page the verb on which depends the meaning of the whole sentence".[45] His criticism led many German writers to attempt to impress Frederick with their writings in the German language and thus prove its worthiness. Many statesmen, including Baron vom und zum Stein, were also inspired by Frederick's statesmanship.

He's also very talented in the art of war.

Frederick frequently led his military forces personally and had six horses shot from under him during battle. Frederick is often admired as one of the greatest tactical geniuses of all time, especially for his usage of the oblique order of battle. Even more important were his operational successes, especially preventing the unification of numerically superior opposing armies and being at the right place at the right time to keep enemy armies out of Prussian core territory. In a letter to his mother Maria Theresa, the Austrian co-ruler Emperor Joseph II wrote, 

"When the King of Prussia speaks on problems connected with the art of war, which he has studied intensively and on which he has read every conceivable book, then everything is taut, solid and uncommonly instructive. There are no circumlocutions, he gives factual and historical proof of the assertions he makes, for he is well versed in history... A genius and a man who talks admirably. But everything he says betrays the knave.[14] "

An example of the place that Frederick holds in history as a ruler is seen in Napoleon Bonaparte, who saw the Prussian king as the greatest tactical genius of all time;[15] after Napoleon's victory of the Fourth Coalition in 1807, he visited Frederick's tomb in Potsdam and remarked to his officers, "Gentlemen, if this man were still alive I would not be here".[16] Frederick and Napoleon are perhaps the most admiringly quoted military leaders in Clausewitz' On War. More than Frederick's use of the oblique order, Clausewitz praised particularly the quick and skillful movement of his troops.[17]

Part 5:

In Chinese history, somewhat similarly, there have been 曹丕, 后主李煜, and 毛泽东, to my knowledge.

Personally I think that Arabia is honored by the higher quality that the term "arabica" stands for, while the word "robust", which means all good things in software development, is kind of smeared by the lower quality that "robusta", which is a word related to coffee, implies.
