The refinement and perfection of culture in Song Dynasty is closely related to Zhao Kuangyin.
When it comes to the Song Dynasty, we can not only think of poverty and weakness, but also its exquisite culture, graceful lyrics and elegant Song porcelain, which all reflect the exquisite culture of the Song Dynasty. Scholars in Song Dynasty were famous for their elegance. For example, Su Shi, a poet, is not only proficient in poetry, ci and fu, but also has great research on books, paintings and tea. The artistic attainments of the Emperor in Song Dynasty are also the products of artists. Song Huizong's word, for example, is "Shou Jin Ti". The reason why the Song Dynasty achieved such high cultural achievements was closely related to the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin learned the lesson of "An Shi Rebellion" in the late Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he released all the administrative powers of military power, financial power and rewarding and punishing our soldiers, and separated the administrative department, supervision department, military department and financial department from each other through the decentralization system. This caused the administrative efficiency of the Song Dynasty to be very low, and the combat effectiveness of the army was extremely embarrassing. However, due to the emperor's high degree of centralization, there will be no more military commanders, ministers and consorts who can subvert the Song regime. Since ancient times, the way of civil and military affairs has been relaxation. Strong martial arts will inevitably lead to weak literature, while weak martial arts will bring strong culture. In the history of our country, the Song Dynasty was an era that paid special attention to culture. In this environment, scholars in Song Dynasty often used to and liked to attach various things.
The origin of the title "Song" is extremely dull, which is the product of a hasty decision under an almost farce coup.
Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, was from Zhuozhou, Hebei. He was born in Jiamaying, Luoyang. He has been practicing martial arts since childhood and is good at riding and shooting. Later, due to his outstanding military exploits, he was inspected in front of the temple of the Zhou Dynasty and became the commander-in-chief of the Central Imperial Army of the Zhou Dynasty. The Imperial Army Department of the Zhou Dynasty was not only the armed force to defend the imperial court, but also the main force to conquer the world. After Zhao Kuangyin's painstaking efforts, the senior generals of the imperial army became Zhao Kuangyin people. Zhao Kuangyin's series of operations provided a lot of maneuverability for his future coup.
On the first day of the first month in 960 A.D., a grand New Year gift was being held in the court of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Suddenly, a fast horse brought an emergency military intelligence, saying that Liao and Hou Han were about to invade Hebei in the latter week. The seven-year-old emperor Chai Zongxun and the timid young queen Fu had no idea at that time, so they followed the advice of bookworm ministers such as Fan Ju and wang pu, and appointed a famous imperial commander to lead the army against the enemy. In fact, this is a "military intelligence lie" deliberately fabricated by Zhao Kuangyin in order to provide a reasonable reason for his troops to leave Kaifeng.
