I recommend some books.
Entry level:
1. "Song Dynasty City Life Long Scroll"-devoted to daily life, basically written by ordinary people.
2. Walking in Song Cheng-similar to the last one, but more similar to a novel.
Enter the classroom:
1. Social life history of Liao, Song, Xixia and Jin Dynasties-a bit old-fashioned, but very detailed.
2. The daily life in China on the eve of the Mongol-Yuan invasion-the works of Xie Henai, an academician of the French Academy, are of undoubted standard.
3. Study on Kaifeng in Song Dynasty —— The monograph of Professor Nagano Institute of Technology is very professional, so we should read it carefully.
4. Dream of China in Tokyo-written by people in the Northern Song Dynasty, this book is basically to be read by later generations when studying Kaifeng.
5. The Dream of Liang Lu-written after Lin 'an in the Southern Song Dynasty.
6. "On the Transformation of Tang and Song Dynasties"-proposed by Naito Hunan, the originator of Kyoto School, is about the great improvement of productivity and the transformation of life and system in Song Dynasty.
Economic History: Ge Jinfang's Lectures on the Economy of the Song Dynasty and General History of China Economy+Volume 5, Song Liao's Golden Period, there are too many discussions on agriculture in Qixia books, so it is not necessary to read them all.
