Song Dynasty (960- 1279) was a dynasty in China's history that inherited five dynasties and ten countries and initiated the Yuan Dynasty. It is divided into two stages: Northern Song Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty. It lasted eighteen emperors and enjoyed the country for 319 years.
In 960, the generals of the later Zhou Dynasty launched a mutiny in Chen Qiao, and established Songzhou as the emperor of German Zhao Kuangyin, thus establishing the Song Dynasty. ? In order to avoid the chaos of the regime and eunuch's authoritarian power in the late Tang Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin adopted the policy of emphasizing literature and restraining military power, strengthened centralization and deprived military commanders of their military power. After Song Taizong succeeded to the throne, the whole country was unified, and after forming a single-source alliance with Liao, he gradually stepped into the rule of the world.
Extended data:
In the Song Dynasty, there were five dynasties and eight surnames 14 monarchs, and one * * * only lasted for 53 years. At that time, people thought that Zhao Kuangyin was just a short-lived sixth generation. However, this dynasty is stable, the magic weapon is "the strategy to prevent disadvantages", and its core spirit is to prevent micro-duration.
Song Taizong's guarding statutes are summarized as "preventing things and making music". Everything should be prevented in advance and fully restricted.
In order to establish a stable political and cultural order, the Song Dynasty was supplemented by "establishing discipline" and "announcing peace". "Ji Gang (Outline)" refers to laws and regulations; "Harmony" refers to the natural spirit that can stimulate Yin and Yang and make heaven and earth full of harmony. Taking the imperial examination system as an example, the strictness of the system makes it more open and reasonable.
The Song Dynasty was in an important transition period in China's history, facing many new problems and challenges from within and around, not a period of strong national strength. However, its outstanding achievements in material civilization and spiritual civilization, its unique achievements in system and its contribution to the development of human civilization make it a glorious stage of civilization and prosperity in history.
As far as the political ecology and institutional origin of the imperial court are concerned, it is hard to say that the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties directly inherited the Song Dynasty. However, judging from the "people's heart" and "political customs" since modern times, the influence brought by the Song Dynasty has deeply penetrated into the body of China society, whether it is the innovation or integration of political ideas, ideology and culture.
