Song Dynasty was the richest dynasty in China's history. Mr. Chen Yinque once said that China's economy and culture reached their peak during the Zhao and Song Dynasties. Therefore, the prosperous Song Dynasty has become a paradise for neighboring countries, with countless fans, and Japan is one of them.

The more formal communication between Japan and China began with the communication between Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms and Japan's evil Matai countries. It was not until the Sui and Tang Dynasties that Japan was transformed into a new country that there was a large-scale communication between China and Japan. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Japan was still a slave society, but after learning the advantages of Chinese civilization, it entered a feudal society. Because China brought the fire of civilization to Japan, Sino-Japanese relations were once very harmonious. Before learning from China, Japan arrogantly called itself the country of sunrise and the country of sunset. After learning the Chinese civilization, Japan began to respect China as a teacher and a brother. It is said that the relationship between Song Dynasty and Japan reached its peak. When the Southern Song Dynasty perished, Japanese emperors and ministers did not want to believe this sad fact, so they cut off their ears and led the whole nation to become the little emperor Dai Xiao of the Song Dynasty who jumped into the sea.

There is no mention of Dai Xiao in China's history books. After all, Japan was a barbarian overseas at that time, and we didn't take people seriously at home, so there were relatively few records about Japan. Pima Dai Xiao's statement actually originated from Japanese historians and was rarely mentioned in ancient and contemporary Japan. Only during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and the war of aggression against China did Japanese historians make this statement public.

These two periods happened to be the period when the so-called "there is no China behind the cliff" was popular in Japan. This view holds that after the failure of the Yashan naval battle in the Song Dynasty, Chinese civilization was destroyed by Mongolian barbarians, leaving only a little blood in Japan. Therefore, Japan has the legitimacy to inherit the rule of China in Tang and Song Dynasties. This statement is ridiculous. Coincidentally, it is not difficult to guess that Japanese historians dug up Pima Dai Xiao, an old proof of Sino-Japanese friendship, in order to provide an ideological basis for the war of aggression against China and the establishment of the so-called "glory of Greater East Asia". So what is certain is that Japan may indeed have a historical prototype for crying for Song. It is normal for Japan to die in the Song Dynasty, but it may not be as exaggerated as Japan said.
