Cai Jing (蔡京, 1047-1126) was the Imperial Tutor[citation needed] during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. He revived the New Policies of Wang Anshi, although he set out on a campaign of attrition to destroy or radically alter the written work of his predecessors and especially Conservative enemies, thereby probably also purging much of Shen Kuo's written work.[1]
In the Water Margin, Gao Qiu and Cai Jing were portrayed as two of the greatest villains and enemies of Song Jiang and the Liangshan heroes.
