Liu Min walked into the courtyard of the private school with Kuang Shicai, and saw the Guandi Temple standing majestically under the noon sun, and it was the practice of the old Chinese country to use the temple as a school; Because only temples and these places are public places.

Liu Min walked to the gate of the Guandi Temple, which was used as a school, and did not enter, but leaned in half of his body to look at it; I saw an old gentleman with a flowing beard pointing to a few big characters hanging on the wall in front of him with a broom stick in his hand, and chanting: "I am from the Great Song Dynasty!" I love the Great Song Kingdom! ”

There were twenty or thirty boys and girls sitting in the school, all six or seven years old; The old gentleman read a sentence, and the student baby read a sentence.

Liu Min was very excited, she knew in her later life that education in the Great Song Dynasty had become a trend; But they will be skeptical.

But today, in the Oak Forest Hanging Village Wilderness Beach Private School, I saw the old gentleman teaching the student baby: "I am from the Great Song Dynasty!" I love the Great Song Kingdom! "Such a thorough patriotic creed; And the waves of my heart went up.

Liu Min knew in later generations that the Song Dynasty was a great era, but it was also a sad era; A country that is the richest in China's history, with the highest standard of living and the best national treatment; But in the end it was destroyed by two savage nomads.

For thousands of years, the descendants of China have both loved and hated the Song Dynasty; Some people refer to the wars between the Song, Liao, Xia, Jin, and Mongols as "fraternal walls."

Liu Min disagrees with the argument that the brother wall is tickling, and those who hold the view of the brother wall are using the modern view of the 21st century to consider the war between the Song, Liao, Xia, Jin, and Mongolian political groups more than 1,000 years ago.

More than 1,000 years ago, the Song, Liao, Xia, Jin, and Mongolia were several countries that were incompatible; It's a hostile force that wants to eat one, not some brother who fights in the same room.

It was in this "embattled" situation that the Song Dynasty still developed the economy that accounted for a quarter of the world at that time; The cultural undertaking has created a precedent in Chinese history.

If there were no two "evil" countries, Jin and Mongolia, imagine that the later Manchu Qing would no longer exist!

But history was so cruel, and the great Song Dynasty was still destroyed by the backward and barbaric Jurchens and Mongols.

After the fall of the Song Dynasty, the world was shocked, and Japan was still a small country subject to the Song Dynasty at that time; The fall of the Southern Song Dynasty was like five thunderbolts to them, and the king ordered the people to weep for three days to express his condolences to the Song Dynasty.

Later generations of foreign historians were also extremely surprised that there was such a dynasty in China more than 1,000 years ago - the Song Dynasty.

They described the Song Dynasty as follows: "History entered the Song Dynasty as if it had entered the Song Dynasty from antiquity to modern times."

If you are a Song Dynasty person, from the time you are conceived in your mother's womb to the time you are born; until you are educated, until you are born, old, sick and dead; You will all be taken care of by the state welfare policy of the Song Dynasty.

In May 1138 (this was the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, the reign of Emperor Zhao Gou, who was scolded by later generations), the Song Dynasty court implemented the "Fetal Midwifery Order" nationwide; Women who are pregnant with babies and babies in the womb enjoy the protection of national laws, and the court of the Song Dynasty takes special care of the babies of poor families.

"If there are those who can't be raised, the court will give them money." Infanticide was considered a great crime by the Song Dynasty, and abandoned babies were all adopted by the state. Such a social welfare policy has surpassed the social welfare of the 21st century.

According to the records of foreign historians: "The Southern Song Dynasty abandoned the baby, and the king adopted it." Record the 12 zodiac signs and the sun when the baby is born, and rotate in several places to order people to breastfeed...... When the children grew up, the king married them......"

From these records, it is not difficult to see that since the Song Dynasty, the state has not only helped babies grow up, but the emperor has to personally marry these fatherless orphans every year. History: The country adopts more than 20,000 abandoned babies and orphans every year.

When the child grows up to a certain age, it is time to enroll, in terms of education: the government schools in the Song Dynasty did not charge tuition, and some counties symbolically levied one or two dollars, and the first and second line students were also exempted from the imperial court.

The national and provincial "key schools" are also subsidized by the imperial court.

For example, Taixue (equivalent to the current university), there is no money for studying, and each student can still receive 1,000 yuan per month. What is the concept of a thousand dollars?

A thousand wen money is consistent money, that is, one or two pieces of silver. Because the Song Dynasty practiced the copper standard rather than the gold standard, it is said that one tael of silver is about equal to 1,000 yuan in the first two decades of the 21st century.

1,000 yuan is not much, but later generations of college students will find an internship in a unit after graduation and it will cost 1,000 yuan per month.

Please note that it is an internship and not a formal job, and more than 2,000 yuan for a formal job abounds.

The students of the Song Dynasty went to Taixue, and not only did they have a monthly allowance from the imperial court - if the lonely and poor scholars did not have a room to live outside the school, the imperial court also provided free accommodation and meals.

The high level of education of the people of the Song Dynasty is really rare in history: "everyone respects Confucius and Mencius, and every family recites poetry and books" is an overview of the cultural level of the people at that time.

Su Dongpo and many other literati of the Song Dynasty had records of this, and Su Dongpo said at the time that every family in the Song Dynasty could read and write, and nine out of ten families could also write books.

Ye Shi and others in the Southern Song Dynasty also recorded that every family could write books at that time: "Today, in Wu, Yue, Fujian, and Shu, families can write books, and people know about them." ”

"Jisheng of the Land" records the rural "family music godson, five steps and a school, ten steps and a warehouse, reciting the twilight strings, and the ears are full of joy!" "It's really a peaceful picture of social civilization, but it's a pity that it is facing several extremely barbaric and brutal political groups.

The Song Dynasty treated the elderly, orphans, the disabled, and the poor without children; The imperial court paid for the support - "widows, widows, lonely and helpless, disabled and sick who are difficult to make a living, according to the security regulations, lawsuits to support." ”

There were no beggars on the streets of the Song Dynasty, because the beggars were all adopted by the imperial court, and the state assumed its responsibilities to its citizens until they died.

"History of the Song Dynasty" volume 178: "If the beggars are raised in nursing homes; His illness is also treated in Anjifang; His death was also buried in the Drainy Garden, so it was normal." The so-called "Nursing Home", "Anjifang" and "Leaky Garden" are social welfare institutions with different functions.

For natural disasters and famine caused by war, all states and counties of the Song Dynasty court were equipped with "Yicang" and "Guanghuicang" and other very perfect emergency measures.

The high welfare of the Song Dynasty "bought" the people, and the people were loyal to the country from the bottom of their hearts; The Song Dynasty was the dynasty with the most loyal ministers in Chinese history and even in world history.

The dark side of the Song Dynasty was that the traitorous ministers were too powerful, and the six thieves led by Cai Jing in the Northern Song Dynasty; Qin Hui and Jia Nidao and others in the Southern Song Dynasty colluded to disrupt the country, leading to the uprising of Song Jiang and Fangla.

However, the patriotic spirit of the Song Dynasty was rare in all dynasties, and the Mongols conquered Asian and European countries for a very short time; It took half a century to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.

In history, those weak scholars of the academy took up arms and sacrificed their lives for the country, and even after the death of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were still many cities with the national flag of the Great Song Dynasty fluttering; Such as Hechuan, who killed the Mongol emperor.

It took nearly ten years for the Southern Song Dynasty to fall before the Mongolian army broke through the unyielding city of Sichuan Lingxiao City, which fluttered the flag of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The number of martyrs in the Southern Song Dynasty is also unprecedented in the history of the world.

The main force of the Southern Song Dynasty court lost the Battle of Yashan, and Prime Minister Lu Hidefu carried the nine-year-old young emperor Zhao Yu into the sea, when the people got the news; They are all willing to follow their beloved motherland, the Southern Song Dynasty, and die......
