Li Ning (Tang dynasty)

Li Ning (李寧) (793 – February 7, 812),[1] briefly known as Li Zhou (李宙) in 809, formally Crown Prince Huizhao (惠昭太子), was a crown prince of the Chinese Tang dynasty during the reign of his father Emperor Xianzong.

Li Ning was born in 793, when his father Emperor Xianzong was the Prince of Guangling, during the reign of his great-grandfather Emperor Dezong, as the then-prince's oldest son.

[2] His mother was Li Chun's concubine Lady Ji.

[5] In 809, along with a number of imperial scholars, led by Li Jiang, requesting that Emperor Xianzong create a crown prince, Emperor Xianzong created Li Ning crown prince on May 9.

As the regulations on imperial ceremonies at the time lacked any regulations on the funeral for a crown prince, he put a professor of the imperial university, Pei Chai (裴茝), in charge of Li Ning's funeral.
