Editor's recommendation
★ Why did the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty presented in Qing Ping Le come? China's civilization is the peak of Dasong, and Injong Dynasty is the symbol of Dasong. Emperors and famous ministers with unique personality charm will meet in the storm, and they created this prosperous time together. It reveals Song Renzong's life, the political characteristics of the Song Dynasty, the temperament of the times and the humanistic atmosphere.
-Song Renzong, unprecedented economic prosperity, reached the feudal period *. By then, the GDP of the Song Dynasty may account for 80% of the total GDP of the world at that time.
Under the rule of Song Renzong, the achievements of civilization were remarkable. Among the eight classical Chinese writers in China, the Northern Song Dynasty alone accounted for six. Three of China's four great inventions-movable type printing, gunpowder and compass-all appeared in the Renzong era. Poetry has a new creative peak after Tang poetry-Song Ci. The ideological circle opened the curtain of Neo-Confucianism, and Zhou Dunyi, Cheng Hao and Zhang Zai appeared one after another.
Under the leadership of Song Renzong, people gave full play to their talents. Lv Yijian, Yan Shu, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Di Qing, Fu Bi, Bao Zheng and other famous ministers came forth in large numbers, and their performances were earth-shattering and ups and downs.
-Song Renzong's personal accomplishment is extremely high. He is good at listening to warnings and using broad words. He is generous, tolerant and kind. Renzong and literati ruled the world, gentleman politics prevailed, and civilian politics reached its peak.
-Although there is no Lingyun spirit of "those who openly commit Han crimes will be punished far away" in this era, and there is no grandeur in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it has a peerless prosperity far less than that in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Song Renzong's laissez-faire has created an era of unprecedented prosperity.
★ This book has a novel point of view, trying to break through the inherent plane impression of events in society.
For example, regarding Fan Zhongyan, the traditional view has always been a gentleman with perfect personality. In this book, in addition to highlighting Fan Zhongyan's feelings of worrying about the country and the people, he also describes that he cherishes his reputation too much and pursues moral perfection, so it is difficult to make a difference in politics.
For example, Ouyang Xiu was impulsive, and an article "On the Partisans" played a key role in the failure of Qingli New Deal, which was rare in previous historical discussions.
For Song Renzong's general plan of governing the country, we should give him a high evaluation of "doing something and doing everything" and fully affirm his political wisdom, instead of blindly emphasizing "benevolence" in character and political inaction like traditional historical theories.
★ The attitude of historiography is rigorous, and new excavations and interpretations are made on the original historical materials.
For example, in the Song-Xia War, it was thought that the Song Dynasty was poor and weak, and the soldiers were tired of fighting and slacking off, and they were forced to make peace with Xixia. In this book, in addition to the fragmentary records of three failed wars in the Song Dynasty, it is found that in fact, the Song Dynasty won more battles and lost fewer battles, and the soldiers fought bravely, with one fighting for ten. Reconciliation between Song and Xia Dynasties was the result of calculating political and economic accounts in Song Dynasty, not passive submission.
For another example, the relationship between Fan Zhongyan and Lv Yijian has always been controversial. This book looks for information in many ways, compares and identifies it carefully, and then refers to the research results of Fang Jian's Friends of Scholars in the Northern Song Dynasty, and puts forward the conclusion that they are reconciled in their later years.
The historical facts of this book directly come from the first-hand historical materials such as History of Song Dynasty and Letters, which are authentic.
★ Put the fate and choice of characters in the objective background of the times, see the essence through phenomena, and truly understand history and human nature.
For example, when Bird and Wu Hao helped Yuan Hao to rebel, they expounded the profound influence of class solidification on scholars and explained the deep reasons why they were willing to act as "traitors". Before the Song Dynasty, people and scholars only knew the monarch and the country, and paid little attention to the concept of the country. Therefore, civilians who do not serve in North Korea do not have much moral burden.
★ The paintings in the Song Dynasty are colorful, which intuitively presents the peerless elegance of the Song Dynasty and the weather of the times.
Content introduction?
Song Dynasty is a unique existence in China's 2,000-year imperial society.
In this dynasty initiated by military commanders, literati became the leading role in the political arena for several times in history, and performed a unique Song Dynasty.
He is singing and dancing. Hua Ye is Yujin. His personality is as gentle as Song Ci, and his temperament is as elegant as orchid. His city is full of jewels and clouds, creating an unparalleled prosperity and a culture at its peak.
It was also the Song Dynasty, but it was criticized for its inefficiency, frequent civil strife, poverty and weakness, and incomplete Jin Ou.
* What can represent the characteristics of the Song Dynasty is the Renzong era. Celebrities gathered in this period, and famous ministers such as Lv Yijian, Yan Shu, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Di Qing, Fu Bi and Bao Zheng came forth in large numbers, which was enough to make the predecessors feel ashamed and talked about by future generations. These celebrities live on the same stage, and their performances are earth-shattering and ups and downs.
China's civilization is the peak of Dasong, and Injong Dynasty is the symbol of Dasong. Starting with historical materials, this book takes time as the axis, from Song Renzong's personal administration to Jiayou's knighthood list, which fully shows the peerless elegance of the Song Dynasty, and also reveals the disputes and power struggles behind the prosperous times, thus revealing the political characteristics, temperament of the times and humanistic atmosphere of the Song Dynasty. The viewpoint is novel, trying to break through the inherent plane impression of society on people's events, and also making a new excavation and interpretation of the original historical materials.
Song Renzong and scholar-officials ruled the world. Let's see how those great men played their roles, so that readers can truly understand the golden age of the Middle Ages.

Huaxia culture originated in Zhao and Song Dynasties, and Renzong Dynasty was the peak of Zhao and Song Dynasties.
It sings and dances, and Hua Ye is Yujin. His personality is gentle as Song Ci, and his temperament is elegant as orchid. Beaded with jewels, clouds and flowers, it created unparalleled prosperity and culture at its peak.
This is an era worth looking forward to.
This era, science and technology leap. The three great inventions of gunpowder, printing and compass made rapid progress at this time. This book was later written in Meng Qian's pen talk, which summarizes the scientific research achievements in many fields such as mathematics, physics, astronomy and engineering technology.
In this era, business is developed. The function of this city has been expanding in history, with many shops, prosperous market, vigorous development of service industry and prosperous non-governmental trade. With the development of commercial trade, metal currency has become a common currency, and the earliest paper money-Jiaozi has appeared in the world.
In this era, the economy is prosperous. Gong Defrank, a world-renowned economic historian, said: "China was undoubtedly the most economically developed area in the Song Dynasty in the 1 1 century and 12 century." Mr. Yang Weisheng, a professor of history, also thinks: "In the 320 years of the Song Dynasty, the height of material civilization and spiritual civilization reached a peak in the history of the whole feudal society in China, and also occupied a leading position in the ancient history of the world."
In this era, the most prominent thing is cultural prosperity. Cultural giants such as Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, etc. were shining with stars, and six of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties were active at this time. Poetry reached a new peak after Tang poetry. The content and realm of Song Ci have been expanded and become the mainstream of literary style. The ideological circle opened the curtain of Neo-Confucianism, and Zhou Dunyi, Cheng Hao and Zhang Zai appeared one after another.
In this era, politics is clear and society is stable. Lv Yijian, Yan Shu, Fan Zhongyan, Di Qing, Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Bao Zheng and other famous ministers came forth in large numbers, which was enough to make our predecessors feel ashamed and even more talked about by future generations.
In this era, although there is no Lingyun spirit of "those who openly commit Han crimes will be punished far away" and there is no grandeur of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it is far less beautiful and prosperous than the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which is different from the elegance of the previous dynasty and later generations.
This is the legendary "Ren Zongsheng Zhi".
The Song Dynasty was born out of the small court of the Five Dynasties, militarism and military plunder. In order to prevent the recurrence of the tragedy, the prevention of military commanders has become the primary task of consolidating the political power. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Song Taizu established the political strategy of governing the country by literati. On the one hand, weaken the buffer zone and strengthen centralization; On the other hand, relying closely on the literati group, the emperor and the literati ruled the world, and the imperial power was restricted, which made the civil servants proud.
It is precisely because of the growth of civil servants that a magnificent scene of competition between culture and science and technology has formed.
Song Renzong himself is tolerant, kind, kind to ministers, considerate of people's livelihood, and does not toss, flatter or be close. The emperor tolerated dissidents, and the literati were harmonious but different, which added icing on the cake to the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty was not a dynasty with talented people, and Song Renzong was not the emperor of San Shen Wen Wu, but this inaction created an unprecedented era of prosperity.
History is worth pondering.
Preemptive reading
Chapter one? She took away an era.
wild lily possess spring too
A.D. 1033 was destined to be an unusual year for the Northern Song Dynasty.
This year is the second year in Ming Dow, Song Renzong. Just after the Lantern Festival, the atmosphere in 2008 is still full of excitement, and the faces of Bianjing citizens are still filled with uncontrollable joy. Sporadic firecrackers can be heard in the street occasionally, but the palace is already busy.
A year's plan lies in spring, which is the season of cultivation and germination. In farming society, spring is especially valued by the royal family. After beginning of spring, spring came slowly. As usual, the court held a series of activities to welcome the restoration of everything.
The young emperor Zhao Zhen, in the first month of Meng Chun, came to the field on the outskirts of Bianjing, picked up a hoe to symbolically loosen the soil and hoe the ground, and then held a plow and harrow, making it look like driving cattle to plow the field. Of course, farming requires skills, which the emperor should not learn, so the cow can't go forward, otherwise the emperor will have an accident and the ministers and local gentry around him will lose their heads.
Originally, this is an extremely simple thing. If ordinary farmers do it, they can plough out a small piece of cultivated land in an hour. However, it is natural that the emperor has something extraordinary.
The emperor's pro-agriculture, in addition to showing the world that he attaches importance to agriculture and mulberry, also means praying for good weather and abundant crops. Therefore, before farming, a grand ceremony should be held to worship the Dragon King. Man Wu naturally dared not neglect, followed the emperor three times and nine times, and then shouted long live to the emperor.
In the whole set of etiquette, the courtiers of the king, the lower-level officials and the palace handyman are already exhausted, exhausted and exhausted to death.
As soon as the emperor finished ploughing, the queen mother would go to the ancestral temple to pay homage.
The ancestral temple is a place to worship the ancestors of the royal family. Starting with the great-grandfather of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor, he passed through his great-grandfather, grandfather and father, then Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Heng, Emperor Taizong, and the seven ancestors enshrined by * * *.
"Zuo Zhuan" said: "The great event of the country lies in respecting peace and glory." Sacrificing the ancestral temple is a national event and a top priority for the imperial court.
Sacrificing the ancestral temple has been a royal ceremony since ancient times. Traditionally, such an important state activity should be handled by the emperor himself, and all the concubines in the harem, royalty and court ministers should participate. However, during the two-year sacrificial activities in Ming Dow, Emperor Injong Zhao Zhen was put aside, and Empress Dowager Cixi, Empress Dowager Cixi and other women offered sacrifices to their ancestors.
Any behavior that breaks the routine must have an unusual background.
It turns out that although the emperor is the ruler of this country, the empress dowager has the final say.
The name of the empress dowager is Liu E, who was originally an ordinary girl from an ordinary family in Sichuan. She was not only humble, but also lonely when she was young. Her father died in infancy. Mother, a weak woman, could not bear the heavy burden of life and had to give her to others. Later, he was taken to Bianjing to set up a stall and made a living by processing forged silver ornaments.
Liu E is like a blooming flower in Shan Ye. It may not be beautiful enough, but it is full of fragrance. Attract men's attention wherever they go.
Liu E, in her prime, had a dream of Cinderella, but she couldn't imagine that one day, she would step into the royal family and become the master of the court, and she would come quietly when sending silver ornaments to the palace. That morning completely subverted Liu E's life.
