Why is it that the cultural and artistic development of the Northern Song Dynasty reached a historical height?

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Taizu's position as a scholar was relatively improved, and the culture of the Song Dynasty experienced unprecedented prosperity. No matter painting, poetry, calligraphy, ceramics and other cultures and arts have reached a new historical height, and it is difficult to be surpassed until now.

If the Tang Dynasty created a prosperous economic situation, then the Song Dynasty created a prosperous cultural and artistic situation. Zhao Kuangyin? Chen Qiao mutiny? Later, the Song Dynasty was formally established in a yellow robe, but it was afraid that future generations would follow his model and had to find ways to weaken the rights of military commanders in order to strengthen the rule of imperial power, so there was a well-known one in history. A glass of wine releases soldiers? . The corresponding has also been launched? Chongwen suppresses martial arts? A series of policies have raised the status of literati at once.

National politics feels the development of economy and culture. After the unprecedented cultural development in the Song Dynasty, countless familiar literati appeared, and their cultural heritage was even more colorful. The wide application of printing in Song Dynasty made cultural communication more convenient and popular, and cultural development also brought up a group of great poets, great poets and even painters. For example, we are familiar with Su Shi, Xin Qiji, Fan Zhongyan, calligrapher Mi Fei, calligrapher Huang Tingjian and so on.

Take Su Shi, a great poet I personally like. We are familiar with his literary works, and it can be said that no one has surpassed his literary achievements so far. Su Shi, also known as Su Dongpo, is a representative of China's bold and unconstrained poets. He, his father Su Xun and his brother Su Zhe are called? Susan? It is one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties. From his literary works, we can easily see his passionate feelings, generous and heroic personality and broad and magnificent picture sense.

His Mink Head is still in my mind. When will there be a bright moon? Ask heaven for wine. People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is full of ups and downs. But the moon is long and the mountains are beautiful? .

Although the historical background is different, the feelings are really the same. The reason why this poem can be sung by later generations just shows that the height of culture cannot be surpassed. Of course, there are still many aspects of the culture of the Northern Song Dynasty that deserve our praise and interest. Facing the long river of history, we can draw long-term lessons from it.
