Chapter I: Preamble

When we talk about the Song Dynasty, we always think of humiliation, weakness, partiality, and extravagance. Song is always associated with weak words.

But was this really the case in the Song Dynasty? Why did he become like this?

Turning over the history of the Song Dynasty, the eyes are full of benevolence and morality, the courage and martial spirit of the Chinese Han and Tang dynasties no longer exist, and the true Han and Tang manners are buried under the Confucian theory. We always talk about the great national heroes of the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang, Huo Quzhi, Zheng Chenggong, etc., great national heroes. Even the Southern Song Dynasty has Yue Fei and Zhang Jun, but the Northern Song Dynasty makes us think of a name, why is this? In fact, it is not nothing, but it was covered up by the physicists, the great Confucianism was written by the great book, those famous generals who resisted foreign invasion, not even a single biography can not be found in the book, we can't even find their names in the history of the Song Dynasty, and can only experience the style of the famous generals of the Song Dynasty in a few words in some other wild histories.

It is precisely with the sharp penmanship of physicists that let us only know Su Shi and not Han Qi: only Bao Zheng, not Di Qing: only Zeng Gong, not Cao Bin: only Sima Guang, Ouyang Xiu, not Yang Yanzhao and Li Jilong. Even when we mention Xin Qiji and Fan Zhongyan, what we think of is their literary brilliance of "picking up the lamp and watching the sword when drunk", "worrying about the worries of the world first, and enjoying the joy of the world after the world", but we forget that they are also a generation of famous generals.

The Song Dynasty has never lacked famous generals, they are weak-hearted.

The Song Dynasty also had another side, the paradise of the literati and the world of scholars. Open the history of the Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu, Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, San Su, Li Qingzhao, Liu Yong and so on. The literati of the Song Dynasty were like stars in the sky, innumerable.

Whenever I close the history of the Song Dynasty, I am thinking, the Song Dynasty is over like this, Zhao Kuangyin, Kou Zhun, Zhao Pu, Bao Zheng, Di Qing, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Yue Fei, Wu Jue, Han Shizhong, Wen Tianxiang, when this personal name becomes history, the descendants of China will never forget them, we sigh the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, but also lament the weakness of the Song Dynasty.

Started with the yellow robe, and finally became upright.

Finally, by a passage from my diary

Song dynasty

A big drama started with the yellow robe

A piece of the past ended with the Battle of Yashan

The authority in the hands disappeared in the glass of wine to release the military power

The prosperity of the era is solidified in the Qingming Shanghe map
