By spring 780, With Cui Youfu seriously ill at that point and Qiao having been removed by Emperor Dezong due to incompetence, Yang was solely in charge of the government, and he revived major military projects that Yuan had advocated until his downfall — to rebuild Yuan Prefecture ( 原州, in modern Guyuan, Ningxia ), formerly Tang territory but which had become part of the no man's land between territories held by Tang and Tufan, as a forward advance base for a campaign to recapture lands lost to Tufan ; and to conscript labor from the regions of the two capitals ( Chang ' an and Luoyang ) and Guanzhong to reopen Lingyang Aqueduct ( 陵陽渠, flowing through Bayan Nur, Inner Mongolia ) in order to promote agriculture in the region by soldiers.

Over the next two years at Dargomyzhsky's, Mussorgsky met several figures of importance in Russia's cultural life, among them Stasov, César Cui ( a fellow officer ), and Mily Balakirev.

In the historical text of the Jin Shu ( 635 AD ), the oldest part of the compiled text, the book known as the Cui Bao ( c. 300 AD ), recorded the use of the odometer, providing description ( and interestingly enough attributing it to the Western Han era, from 202 BC – 9 AD ).

In conjunction with critic and fellow nationalist Vladimir Stasov, in the late-1850s and early 1860s Balakirev brought together the composers now known as The Five — the others were Alexander Borodin, César Cui, Modest Mussorgsky and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

He had also started meeting other important figures who would abet him in this goal in 1856, including César Cui, Alexander Serov, the Stasov brothers and Alexander Dargomyzhsky.

Together with Cui, these men were described by noted critic Vladimir Stasov as " a mighty handful " (, Moguchaya kuchka ), but they eventually became better known in English simply as The Five.

Balakirev began his First Symphony after completing the Second Overture but cut work short to concentrate on the Overture on Czech Themes, recommencing on the symphony only 30 years later and not finishing it until 1897. Letters from Balakirev to Stasov and Cui indicate that the first movement was two-thirds completed and the final movement sketched out, though he would supply a new theme for the finale many years later.

César Antonovich Cui (, Tsezar ' Antonovič Kjui ) ( 13 March 1918 ) was a Russian composer and music critic of French and Lithuanian descent.

Cesarius-Benjaminus ( Цезарий-Вениамин ) Cui was born in Vilnius, Vilna Governorate, Russian Empire ( now Vilnius, Lithuania ), to a Roman Catholic family, the youngest of five children.

Before finishing gymnasium, in 1850 Cui was sent to Saint Petersburg to prepare to enter the Chief Engineering School, which he did the next year at age 16.

Cui eventually ended up teaching at three of the military academies in Saint Petersburg.

As an expert on military fortifications, Cui eventually attained the academic status of professor in 1880 and the military rank of general in 1906.

Despite his achievements as a professional military academic, Cui is best known in the West for his " other " life in music.

Even though he was composing music and writing music criticism in his spare time, Cui turned out to be an extremely prolific composer and feuilletonist.
