Because the Song Dynasty attached great importance to culture and education, achieved great academic and cultural achievements, and China's culture was more profound and mature, so talents from all walks of life emerged constantly.
Amin scholar Song Lian said: "Since Qin Dynasty, civilization has flourished in Song Dynasty.
"Eight people in Tang and Song Dynasties, six people in Song Dynasty, besides Su Xun, Su Shi and Su Zhe, there are Wang Anshi, Ceng Gong and Ouyang Xiu.
Four Great Calligraphers in Song Dynasty: Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei and Cai Xiang.
Neo-Confucianism in Northern Song Dynasty: Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao.
Three sages in the southeast of the Southern Song Dynasty: Zhu, Zhu, Zhu, Zhu, Zhu, Zhu.
Four Great Masters in Southern Song Dynasty: Lu You, Yang Wanli, Fan Chengda and You Mao.
It is important that many celebrities in the Song Dynasty were born in poverty.
Both Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu were born in single-parent families and grew up poor.
Fan Zhongyan's father died when he was one year old, and his mother Xie took Fan Zhongyan, who was still in infancy, and remarried to Zhujiajian.
Fan Zhongyan had a hard time since childhood, drinking porridge and studying hard.
Ouyang Xiu couldn't afford a pen and paper at home when he was a child, and his mother taught him to read with a reed pole.
In the end, through their own efforts, both of them became masters of culture, courtiers and pillars of the country.
Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu may have similar fates, and they became real friends.
Wang Anshi, Su Xun, Su Shi and Ceng Gong are all cultural masters trained by Ouyang Xiu.
Su Shi also trained four famous Su Men Bachelor: Huang Tingjian, Qin Guan and Chao He.
Lu You is a student in Ceng Gong, and Lu You and Xin Qiji are good friends. Their gathering together formed a cultural salon and a literary club.
Many literary societies appeared among the people in the Song Dynasty. In a word, Song Dynasty was a paradise for intellectuals.
Four Great Calligraphers in Song Dynasty: Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei and Cai Xiang.
Many famous painters appeared in Song Dynasty, including Fan Kuan, Guo, Zhou, Zhao, Xia Gui and Zhang Zeduan.
What best represents the highest artistic level of Chinese painting is the broadness and artistic conception of landscape painting in Song Dynasty! There were many talented landscape painters in Song Dynasty, each with his own expertise and creation. Lin Yuan in the Northern Song Dynasty, Fan Kuan's Mountains and Snow Scenery, Xu Daoning's Trees and Waters, Guo's description of the subtle changes of the four seasons, Zhao Lingxiang's Lyrical Scenery, Mi Fei and Mi Youren's Yunshan Ink Painting, and Xia Gui's Landscape all reflect the art of landscape.
Song Dynasty is a country of poetry.
Song poetry is a huge treasure house.
All aspects of knowledge are very rich.
But this treasure house, our cognitive development is very little.
Song poetry is the continuation, development and breakthrough of Tang poetry.
There were more poets and more poems in Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty enriched the types and forms of poetry.
The number of Song poetry creations is unprecedented.
Peking University is compiling The Complete Poems of Song Dynasty. According to preliminary statistics, there are no fewer than 9,000 authors, four times as many as the whole Tang poetry.
The Collection of Song Ci has more than 1,300 people and nearly 20,000 chapters.
Confucius added hundreds of poets and wrote more than 400 poems in Complete Song Poetry Supplement.
Lu You, a prolific poet in the Song Dynasty, claimed to be "10,000 poems in 60 years".
Lu You now has more than 9,300 poems.
Yang Wanli wrote more than 20,000 songs.
But now there is only a small part left.
You Mao, one of the four masters in the Southern Song Dynasty, left even fewer poems.
So many great poets have written so many poems that more of us can only have a chance to read a few of their poems. It can be said that we haven't even touched the fur, let alone experienced their fine bones.
Song poetry reflects the expansion of social horizons and the deepening of efforts to cut into life.
The climate and atmosphere of Song and Tang are different, and the poet is brave in innovation, thus forming a "Song tune" which is completely different from "Tang Yin".
As a new type of symphonic poem, Song Ci can not only be recited on the desk of literati, but also spread to the voice of musicians, which enhances its entertainment and communication, and has a large audience.
Song is the second wave of China civilization.
It not only makes the verve civilization develop to absoluteness, but also makes the civilian culture develop.
Traditional Chinese opera, including burlesque, acrobatics, puppet shows, shadow play, rap, zaju, etc.
There are hundreds of acrobatics among them.
Petty bourgeoisie was serious in Song Dynasty, and most of the feelings expressed in Song Ci were to express the leisure of drinking lightly and singing low.
Song Ci embodies the stable political situation and the prosperous, rich and superior social life in the Song Dynasty.
The prosperity of prostitution originated from the high prosperity of urban economy in Song Dynasty.
The entertainment industry in Song Dynasty was more clearly divided into four categories: official prostitutes, geisha, geisha and commercial prostitutes.
The "prostitute" in the Song Dynasty is not a "prostitute" in the modern sense.
Most people can buy works of art, not bodies.
Most of them are equivalent to modern literary and art workers.
They are usually talented and beautiful. Some people have profound attainments in piano, chess, songs, poems, books and paintings. Some can be called artists in that field.
"Official prostitute" is the most admirable.
They are not only outstanding in appearance, but also brilliant.
Their appearance, knowledge, intelligence and artistic taste are outstanding.
Nowadays, actresses and stars, or women who are engaged in literary and artistic work, are hard to compare with them, because the women in the Red Chamber were cultivated from childhood and constantly edified, but now some women in the entertainment circle may become stars if they are beautiful and have only studied for two years ... It can be said that a famous prostitute in the Song Dynasty is much better than a modern female star.
Tea culture didn't reach the artistic level until the Song Dynasty.
Tea in Song Dynasty is not tea in the present sense, but a kind of tea beverage.
Some need sugar, some need salt, and all kinds of tea.
This is a kind of tea and tea culture with countless ways of drinking. Unfortunately, it, like most of the crafts and cultures of the Song Dynasty, has not survived until now.
In the Song Dynasty, all kinds of petal tea were very popular.
Song also has the wind of fighting tea.
Cai Xiang introduced Jian 'an Doucha in Tea Classic, especially a semi-fermented white tea produced locally.
Song people used all kinds of exquisite porcelain bowls to drink tea, among which Millie lamp and Tianmu bowl of rabbit were famous tea sets at that time.
According to the subtle differences in the color of the rabbit's Millie lamp, people also call it "Millie the Golden Rabbit" and "Millie the Silver Rabbit".
