After Emperor Wu ascended the throne in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Xin gradually adapted to and identified with the culture of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. There are four reasons for this: first, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty attached great importance to Confucian-learning education; second, the great military, political and cultural advantages of the Northern Zhou Dynasty; third, Yu Xin’s restoration of Confucian meritorious service and career consciousness; fourth, Yu Xin changed his understanding of the downfall of Liang Dynasty. The acculturation and political identity of the south-to-north bachelors reflected the process of their spiritual growth.
