2.P.53 Yue Fei resisted gold
In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin Jun attacked the Southern Song Dynasty on a large scale. Yue Fei organized a disciplined Yue Jiajun and defeated Jin Jun in Yancheng, but Qin Gui, the powerful minister, killed Yue Fei for the so-called "rebellion".
The economic center of gravity moved south.
1 and P56-59: the development of production and the prosperity of commerce in South China in Song Dynasty.
(1)P.56 Agriculture: Vietnam occupied the city and rice was introduced, and Suzhou and Huzhou became important granaries. There is a proverb that "Suzhou and Huzhou are ripe and the world is full". Cotton planting has expanded to the Yangtze River basin, and tea planting has also made great progress.
(2)P.57 Handicraft industry: Sichuan silk products are "the best in the world". The cotton industry, which rose from Hainan Island, developed to the southeast coastal areas in the Southern Song Dynasty. It rose in Jingdezhen in the Northern Song Dynasty and later became a famous porcelain capital. Shipbuilding in Song Dynasty ranked first in the world at that time.
(3)P.58 Commercial aspects: There were many commercial cities in the Song Dynasty, the largest of which were Kaifeng and Hangzhou. In the Song Dynasty, overseas trade surpassed that of the previous generation. Guangzhou and Quanzhou are world-famous large commercial ports, and the government has also set up a special agency to manage overseas trade, called the Municipal Shipping Department. Jiaozi, which appeared in Sichuan in the early Northern Song Dynasty, was the earliest paper money in the world.
2. China's ancient economic center of gravity moved southward;
(1) The economic development in the south of the Yangtze River during the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties was the foundation; ② In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the economic center of gravity began to move south. ③ The Five Dynasties and Ten Countries began to migrate to the Yangtze River basin; ④ In the Southern Song Dynasty, the transfer was completed; ⑤ During the Yuan Dynasty, the south continued to develop, forming a situation in which the north relied heavily on the south.
P.59 The economic center of gravity moved southward from the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and finally completed in the Southern Song Dynasty.
3. Reasons for economic development in the South:
① Economic factors: Since the late Tang Dynasty, due to the war in the north, a large number of people in the Central Plains moved to the south, which not only brought advanced technology and production experience, but also increased the labor force in the south and provided conditions for the economic development in the south.
(2) Political factors: The relative stability in the South provides a relatively stable situation for economic development. At the same time, the southern rulers attached importance to economic development and adopted some measures that were beneficial to economic development, which promoted the economic development of the south.
③ Natural factors: The natural conditions in the south of Song Dynasty were better, which was more suitable for agricultural production. The economic development of the South since the Three Kingdoms has also laid a certain foundation for the economic development of the South.
4. Enlightenment to today's economic construction:
(a) to adopt a policy of actively encouraging economic development; (2) maintaining a good situation of stability and unity; ③ Attach importance to scientific and technological progress and promote economic development; ④ Protect the ecological environment and pay attention to sustainable development.
Social Characteristics of Vientiane Renewal in Song Dynasty
1. Basic necessities of life in Song Dynasty
P.6 1 clothes: in the early northern song dynasty, thrift was advocated and the government had strict regulations on clothes. Then luxury goods prevailed. Women's bad foot-binding habits gradually spread.
P.62 Gourmet: There are many night market snacks in Beijing, and there are also many mutton in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the Southern Song Dynasty, southerners ate more fish.
P.63 residence: the people's housing is simple, the official mansion is magnificent, and the gap between the rich and the poor is large. ("Du's men ... have a way ...")
Line P.63: People use ox carts and donkey carts, nobles go out in sedan chairs, and literati ride donkeys and mules.
2. Entertainment activities and folk customs in Song Dynasty
P.63 Le: Tokyo broke the pattern of cities and squares in the Tang Dynasty, and many entertainment and commercial places appeared, called "Wazi" ("Cuju" is the origin of football).
P.64 Festival: Today's traditional festivals have existed since the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the Spring Festival was called New Year's Day, which was very grand.
The Rise of Mongolia and the Establishment of Yuan Dynasty
P.66 Genghis Khan unified Mongolia
After Temujin unified the Mongolian grassland, Mongolian aristocrats held a meeting in 1206, elected him Khan, honorably called him Genghis Khan, and Mongolia was founded, ending the long-term scuffle in the Mongolian grassland.
Second, P.67 Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty.
1, the Yuan Dynasty was founded: Kublai Khan, that is, after Khan ascended the throne, decided that the title of the country was Yuan in 127 1 year, and the capital was Dadu in the following year, and Kublai Khan was Yuan Shizu.
2. Kublai Khan's rule
(1) Politics: Establishing the Yuan Dynasty; Establish a provincial system; Zheng Xuanyuan was established to manage Tibet, making Tibet officially a part of our territory; Strengthen the jurisdiction of Ryukyu (now Taiwan Province Province).
(2) Economy: attaching importance to agriculture, harnessing the Yellow River, promoting cotton planting, rebuilding canals and developing shipping have mostly become world-famous metropolises.
(3) Diplomacy: A trip between Kelpolo and Kyle Polo.

(2) Main purpose: to exercise effective rule over the whole country.
(3) Foundation: the county system founded by the Qin Dynasty.
(4) Main contents: (1) Set up Zhongshu Province in the central government as the highest administrative institution in China, which governs most cities and their nearby areas; In other places, the book provinces in banks, referred to as "provinces" for short, are managed by central government officials. The establishment of provincial administrative divisions in China began in the Yuan Dynasty. (3) The Yuan government also established Zheng Xuanyuan to strengthen its jurisdiction over Tibet, which officially became an administrative region and part of China's territory, and at the same time strengthened its jurisdiction over Ryukyu (now Taiwan Province Province).
(5) Influence: ① It laid the foundation for chinese administrative division after Ming and Qing Dynasties. (2) Strengthen the central government's rule over local governments, especially over Taiwan Province Province and Tibet. The provincial system unified the people of all ethnic groups under the jurisdiction of the central government, facilitated ethnic exchanges and promoted ethnic integration.
4. 4.★★★P.69 The development of national integration in the Yuan Dynasty
(1)P.69 The main reason: the unification of the Yuan Dynasty promoted national integration. After the reunification of the Yuan Dynasty, the people of all ethnic groups in China were under the jurisdiction of a central government, and the exchanges and contacts between ethnic groups were strengthened, resulting in a large-scale population movement, forming a complex situation in which many ethnic groups were intertwined in a region, which not only promoted the economic and cultural development of all ethnic groups, but also promoted the great integration of all ethnic groups.
(2) (2) The main performance of P.69: ① During the Yuan Dynasty, many Han people moved out and made contributions to the development of the frontier. (2) All ethnic groups in the border areas, including Mongols, have moved to the Central Plains and Jiangnan in large numbers, living together with the Han nationality, and after a long period of common life, they are no different from the Han nationality. (3) The Persians and Arabs who settled in China, together with the Han, Mongolian, Uygur and other ethnic groups, lived together for a long time, married each other and gradually merged, and began to form a new ethnic group-Hui.
(3) Significance: The large-scale population movement in the Yuan Dynasty promoted the economic and cultural development and integration of all ethnic groups.
(4) Understanding: ① The basic phenomenon and the highest form of ethnic relations in ancient China is ethnic integration. (2) Wars and conflicts between ethnic groups are temporary, and ethnic friendship is the mainstream of ethnic relations in ancient China. (3) The climax of China's ancient ethnic integration has three periods: the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The function of national integration lies in improving the quality of the nation, promoting the formation and development of the Chinese nation, enhancing the cohesion of the Chinese nation, consolidating national unity and promoting social, economic and cultural development and prosperity.
(5) Enlightenment: ① Formulate correct ethnic policies, advocate equality among ethnic groups, and implement regional ethnic autonomy. 2. Correctly handle ethnic relations and resolutely safeguard the reunification of the motherland. ③ Actively promote the development of the western region, promote the common development and prosperity of all ethnic groups in the motherland, and build a harmonious Chinese family.
Splendid Song and Yuan culture (1)
1, movable type printing on page 72
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Bi Sheng invented movable type printing, which greatly promoted the spread of culture. In the 0/5th century, movable type printing appeared in Europe, about 400 years later than China.
2. Pages 73-74: Compass and gunpowder
In the Warring States period, people found that magnets indicated the characteristics of north and south, so they made it "Sina", which was the earliest guide in the world. In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was made into a compass and began to be used for navigation. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the compass was introduced to Europe by Arabs, which created conditions for the navigation activities of European navigators later.
Gunpowder was invented by an alchemist in ancient China. At the end of the Tang dynasty, gunpowder began to be used in the military. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, gunpowder weapons were widely used in wars, and gunpowder and firearms were introduced to Arabia and Europe in the 13 and 14 centuries.
Printing, compass, gunpowder and papermaking are the "four great inventions" in ancient China.

The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival by the great painter Zhang Zeduan depicts the scenery and prosperity along the Bianhe River in Tokyo in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Consolidate a unified multi-ethnic country and social crisis
Strengthen the monarchical power of the Ming Dynasty
First, the main measures to strengthen the monarchy in the Ming Dynasty
(1) P88-89 administrative organization reform
(1) In the local area, the province of Zhongshu was abolished, and three departments (Zheng Shi Department, Case Investigation Department and Command Department) were established, directly under the central government.
(2) Cancel the Central Premier, cancel the rights of Zhongshu Province and Zhongshu Province, and be directly responsible to the emperor.
(2)P.89 Establishment of the secret service for factory guards: Ming Taizu established the Royal Guard under the direct command of the emperor, which was in charge of guarding, monitoring and investigation. P.9 1 when the Ming emperor moved the capital to Beijing, he continued to reduce the number of vassals, set up an east factory, and strengthened the monitoring and investigation of his subjects. The establishment of the secret service for factory guards is a manifestation of The Ming dynasty emperors's high degree of dictatorship.
(3)P.89 Strengthen cultural autocracy. Following the imperial examination system of the previous generation and adopting stereotyped writing to select scholars, China's examination system has been standardized, fixed and modeled, which has strengthened the control of scholars' thoughts and seriously hindered the development of China's ideological culture and science and technology.
Second, influence: on the one hand, it consolidated the rule of the Ming Dynasty and created a relatively stable political situation; On the other hand, this high-handed policy intensified social contradictions and laid a crisis for the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
3. Understanding: The strengthening of monarchical power in the Ming Dynasty is an important manifestation of the political compulsion of the Ming government, which indicates the decline of the feudal political system in China. The germination of capitalism in Ming Dynasty is an important manifestation of the decline of feudal economic system. )
Sino-foreign exchanges and conflicts
1, ★★★★ Zheng He's voyages to the West
(1)P.93 The purpose of Zheng He's voyage to the Western Seas was to publicize the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty and strengthen ties with overseas countries.
(2) Overview 2)P.95: 1405- 1433 Judy, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, sent Zheng He to the Western Ocean seven times, reaching the Red Sea coast and the east coast of Africa as far as possible, more than half a century earlier than European navigators.
(3) Reasons and conditions for success:
This country is politically stable and economically prosperous. (2) Before the Ming Dynasty, the government vigorously developed overseas trade; (3) Progress in shipbuilding and navigation technology; (4) Zheng He has considerable knowledge of geography and navigation, perseverance, excellent organizational skills and teamwork spirit.
(4) objective influence
① Positive impact: A. Demonstrate national strength. It is the reflection and symbol of the politics, economy and comprehensive national strength of the Ming Dynasty, which has enhanced China's national prestige and international status. It also shows the powerful side of China. B. Great feat: Zheng He's seven voyages to the Western Ocean and his visits to more than 30 countries and regions in Asia and Africa are not only a miracle in the ancient maritime history of China, but also a feat in the maritime history of the world. C, a model of friendly exchanges. It has strengthened political, economic and cultural exchanges and friendly exchanges between China and the people of Asian and African countries, spread China culture to all parts of the world, and enriched China people's knowledge of geography and navigation. Zheng He's voyages to the West also promoted the development of South Asia.
(2) Negative effects: (a) Zheng He's voyages to the West did not provide a strong impetus for domestic economic development, did not stimulate the development of handicrafts in China, and did not promote the development of domestic commodity economy. Zheng He's foreign trade on his voyages to the West was not based on equality and mutual benefit, but on the principle of "favoring one over the other" which was adhered to by the government's will, and it added a huge burden to the people. B The purpose of Zheng He's voyage to the West is only to show China's prosperity, so as to strengthen China people's ego and self-centered worldview, which is not conducive to social stability in the long run.
(5) Zheng He's spirit
Hard-working, fearless, persistent, peaceful and friendly.
2, P.96 Qi Jiguang anti-Japanese.
At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Japanese samurai, businessmen and pirates often harassed the coastal areas of China. Qi Jiguang formed a well-trained, disciplined and courageous "Qijiajun", which pacified the Japanese invasion in the southeast coast and was a famous national hero in China.
