Like the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were actually named after their respective countries.

The capital of the Northern Song Dynasty was in Kaifeng, Henan, and the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty was in Lin 'an, which is today's Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Kaifeng is in the north and Hangzhou is in the south, so it is known as the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty.

In terms of time, the Northern Song Dynasty came first and the Southern Song Dynasty came last. In 960, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was given a yellow robe and established the Northern Song Dynasty, ending the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Rebellion.

We are familiar with some historical events and figures, such as relieving the soldiers with a glass of wine, the political reforms of Yang Jiajiang, Bao Gong, Fan Zhongyan, Su Dongpo and Wang Anshi, and even the novel Water Margin, all happened in the Northern Song Dynasty.

A * * * in the Northern Song Dynasty lasted for 365,438+09 years. By 65,438+065,438+027 AD, Song Huizong and his son Song Qinzong were captured by the nomadic regime of the Jin State from the north, and the history of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was called the difficulty of Jingkang.

In the same year, Song Huizong's ninth son, Zhao Gou, led the monarch and his subjects across the Yangtze River and established the Southern Song Dynasty. He himself was also called Song Gaozong by later generations.

1 138, Song Gaozong made its capital in Hangzhou, and renamed it Lin 'an, Hangzhou, which means that they only settled temporarily, and eventually they will recover their old land. However, when it comes to doing things, most of the rulers and ministers in the Southern Song Dynasty have a partial corner mentality. The Northern Expedition was never successful, and Yue Fei, a famous anti-gold star, was killed.

When will the West Lake stop singing and dancing outside the Qingshan Building outside the mountain? Warm wind makes tourists drunk, and only makes Hangzhou Bianzhou. Ironically, the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court was not enterprising.

As a result, after 152 years of peace, the Southern Song Dynasty could not escape the fate of national subjugation and was destroyed by another regime established by the northern nomadic Mongols-the Yuan Dynasty.
