Yao Xing (366-4 16), the eldest son of Yao Chang, was the second emperor in the late Qin Dynasty, and he reigned for 22 years. Yao Xing is an outstanding figure in the Yao family, and also the longest and most effective of the only three emperors in the late Qin Dynasty. This man, who was looked down upon by the former king of Qin at that time since he was a child, suffered a lot from a branch. At the Battle of Mazongshan, his army was almost wiped out, and Yao Xing became a grave digger in the actual sense of the former Qin Empire.

He has two outstanding characteristics: studious and filial. By rights, this is nothing unusual. Many emperors also have them, but unlike Yao Xing, they can bring both into full play.

Yao Xing's filial piety is another commendable place. His filial piety is even extreme. After the death of his mother Zhou, Yao Xing was so sad that he couldn't even attend class. You might say that people who achieve great things don't care about being immersed in love. Yao Xing doesn't have the courage and mind of an emperor, and he doesn't care about national plans. Here are some vivid examples of heroes and model figures who have no time to mourn the death of their parents because of their busy work. In fact, the two are not contradictory, but the focus is different. Yao Xing pays attention to filial piety, while models value loyalty. If there is a conflict between loyalty and filial piety, it is difficult to have it both ways. In Lu's view, Yao Xing's feelings are simple, especially his exemplary role of putting filial piety first, which has a very positive significance to the national atmosphere at that time. After burying his mother, Yao Xing "led the world in plain clothes" (The Book of Jin). As an emperor, it is admirable for everyone to show his ordinary side unabashedly.
