Is Song Renzong a great emperor? What achievements has he made in his life?
Among the 494 emperors with a history of 5,000 years in China, posthumous title really regarded them as "Renzong". There are only six emperors, because to do this, not only your political achievements are good, but also your manners and manners should be recognized by doctors. This is why there was no "Renzong" in posthumous title before the Song Dynasty, and politics was more tolerant after the Song Dynasty. Most importantly, Song Taizu Emperor Zhao Kuangyin emphasized martial arts and magnanimity, relieved the military power through a glass of wine, realized the transition to civilian rule, and did not kill the hero. What is particularly commendable is that Zhao Kuangyin has promulgated a law stipulating that ministers should not be whipped in court or insulted by officials. So there was no literary inquisition in Song Dynasty.

Song Renzong Zhao was the first emperor in history to be named Renzong, and also the longest-serving emperor in the Song Dynasty. He is kind and filial and tolerant of ministers. Advocating peace abroad and recuperating at home. He is still very kind to people or ministers around him, never punishes him easily, and basically has no shelf. Such people are naturally more kind to the people around them and govern the country.

During his reign, the Song Dynasty reached its heyday, which is called "the rule of Ren Zongsheng" in history, because the Great Song Dynasty not only surpassed "Kaiyuan Shi Sheng" and "Zhenguan Zhi Zhi" in terms of population, economy and culture, but also six of the eight great masters in Tang and Song Dynasties appeared in Renzong period and Song Renzong period, and three of the four great inventions in China occurred during his reign, namely movable type printing, gunpowder and compass.

1. In the second year of Baoyuan (1039), the first Song and Xia War broke out in an all-round way. In the meantime, Liao is going to send troops south and send ministers to negotiate with him. Break the attempt of Liao country to claim the land of the three customs, and at the same time, apply both hard and soft measures, and increase the currency (silver and silk, each102,000) every year to maintain the alliance of Yuen Long. Its significance lies in preventing the plunder of Liao country in the south, maintaining the peace of Song and Liao for a hundred years, and providing a stable external environment for Song Dynasty in this period.

Second, during the Song Renzong period, the bureaucracy was huge, the administrative efficiency was low, the people lived in poverty, Liao and Xixia threatened the northern and northwest frontiers, and the social crisis became increasingly serious. In the third year of Qing dynasty (1043), Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Han Qi and Du Yan were in power at the same time, and they put forward the idea of "being clear, restraining transportation and paying tribute".

Thirdly, in the first year of Song Renzong Tiansheng (1023), the government set up Yizhou Jiaozi Service Office in Chengdu, with one or two officials from Beijing and North Korea as the directors, presided over Jiaozi distribution, and "set up a paper copying office to correct the disadvantages of the false" and strictly controlled its printing process. This produced the earliest paper money in the history of the world, and the emergence of jiaozi has several great significance, because businessmen don't have to bring a lot of money to trade, which also led to the development of commodity economy. So this resolution is very big internationally.

During the reign of Song Renzong, these three things happened. After the Song Dynasty had a stable external environment, it also reformed the domestic political and economic deficiencies. Although it failed in the end, it also made efforts, which influenced the later reform of Wang Anshi. The government established the world's first institution to produce paper money, which eased the circulation and had a great impact on the world commodity economy. We can see the above three points: Song Renzong's outstanding achievements during his reign.
