Qiming 1158
1158, that is, the twenty-eighth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty.
In this era, the four major inventions have been improved and applied in social production, including paper, gunpowder, imperial examinations, science and technology, developed commerce, and sufficient population, and the social productivity far exceeds that of the Han and Tang dynasties.
Also in this era, the Jin State dominated the Central Plains, the Western Xia entrenched in the northwest, Dali divided the southwest, and the Southern Song Dynasty was in a corner of peace.
In the great northwest and Central Asia, Western Liao has not yet lost the ideal of restoring its homeland.
On the steppe, the Mughuls are slowly developing and are accumulating a terrifying force that can subvert the world pattern.
How can we find a way to light instead of sinking in this world of great dissension?
First of all, of course, we can't expect anything from the Southern Song Dynasty.
