What caused the economic prosperity in Song Dynasty?

Reasons and manifestations of prosperity in the Song Dynasty

The Song Dynasty was the dynasty with the most prosperous economy, the most advanced science and technology, the most prosperous culture, the deepest art and the richest people's living standards in China's history. Song Dynasty was the most glorious dynasty for China, and it was also the country with the most inventions in the world at that time. The Song Dynasty was also the period when China made the greatest contribution to the world. More than half of the important inventions in the history of China appeared in the Song Dynasty. At that time, three of China's so-called four great inventions were invented or began to be applied on a large scale, including gunpowder, compass, printing, paper money, vertical textile and important reforms in porcelain technology. In Song Dynasty, navigation, shipbuilding, medicine, technology and agricultural technology all reached an unprecedented and incomparable height in ancient times. The Song Dynasty also developed a new science, technical science. These brilliant achievements are directly related to the comprehensive civilization of the Song Dynasty. The GDP of Song Dynasty accounted for 5% of the world. The comprehensive strength of the country, both in quality and quantity, was the largest country in the world in Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty has reached the peak of the feudal dynasty, and the seeds of capitalism have emerged. It is said that the GDP of Song Dynasty reached the level of New China at the beginning of 21st century

Why was the economic prosperity of the Song Dynasty called "poor and weak"?

reason:

political strategy, which emphasizes literature over martial arts.

cultural background, the culture of the Song Dynasty is more focused, and it proves that literature is more important than martial arts.

The emperor is calculating, and he is worried that the yellow robe will repeat itself and restrict the development of force.

The world pattern was created by the situation at that time, and the turmoil in the late Tang Dynasty was due to historical reasons.

So, although the economy and culture are extremely prosperous, there is no good force to ensure that Mianyang is the final destination, and China's history is that the north unified the south. To sum up, extreme weakness is practical, but poverty can't be said. According to historical data, the economy of Song Dynasty is stronger than that of Tang Dynasty.

What are the reasons for the socio-economic development in the Song Dynasty?

1. The south itself has something to do with the development of farming economy, with fertile land and sufficient water and heat. 2. Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there have been few wars in the south, and the society is relatively stable. A large number of immigrants from the north, such as Yongjia Rebellion in the late Western Jin Dynasty and Jingkang Rebellion in the late Northern Song Dynasty, have seriously devastated the economy of the north, and a large number of people have moved south, bringing advanced production methods and promoting the development of science and technology in the south. 3. With the opening of the Grand Canal in Sui Dynasty, the materials from the south can be transported to the north smoothly. In Song Dynasty, both the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty relied on the food supply from the south, which was supported by policies and the tax policy in the south was relatively loose, which further promoted the development of south china agriculture. 4. During the Southern Song Dynasty, in order to alleviate the crisis of national fiscal revenue, coastal cities such as Kaihaitong, Quanzhou and Suzhou became famous overseas at this time, becoming the largest port at that time, and the commodity economy in the south was also very prosperous. 5. In addition, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the North was always the frontier of confrontation with the Khitan and Jurchen regimes, and it was also a military buffer zone that the imperial court considered at that time. As you can imagine, it would not receive too much economic attention from * * *, and the South was already the economic center at this time. Of course, it is not difficult to understand the idea of not deliberately operating the North. In a word, the South has its own superior conditions, relatively stable and open society, the advantages of population and technology, and the support of the * * * policy, which has created the double prosperity of the farming economy and commodity economy in the South.

Fifth, the Song Dynasty attached importance to economic legislation.

What were the main reasons for the prosperity of urban commercial economy in the Song Dynasty?

(1) China's economic center gradually moved south in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

(2) From the middle and late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties and Song Dynasty, there were few wars in the south, and many people from the Central Plains moved south, which promoted economic prosperity.

(3) The environment in the south is conducive to the development of agriculture and handicrafts and provides good conditions for the prosperity of commerce.

(4) The Song Dynasty was open-minded, encouraged business, and had no restrictions on the time and place of market trade.

(5) Paper money was produced in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was beneficial to the development of commerce.

What are the reasons for the economic prosperity in the Song Dynasty?

One of the important reasons for the economic prosperity in the Song Dynasty is that it has always implemented the foreign policy of spending money to buy peace.

apart from the usual factors such as enlightened rulers, economic center of gravity moving south and currency circulation, the weak diplomatic strategy that has been criticized by later generations in the Song Dynasty is precisely the reason why economic development has the characteristics of the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, the diplomatic strategy of "paying tribute at the age of four" was always adopted, and spending money to buy peace was humiliating, but it was really a sure way to make an economic account.

First of all, compared with the war consumption, the annual tribute is nine Niu Yi Mao. Take the alliance of Tan Yuan as an example. The annual cash handed over to Liao is about 1.5% of the annual cash income of the Song Dynasty. If you count the total income, it is less than .4%. This money has no influence on the Song Empire at all. If we really rely on war to solve the problem, compared with nomadic people, the war cost of agricultural people is too high, and if they win, they will not occupy the land, which is not worth the candle. More importantly, the long-term peaceful environment has hindered the development of business. The people's resources don't have to be exhausted for military service, and the people won't be * * * because of the war. * * * Knowing the annual expenditure, you don't have to worry about the endless investment caused by the war, so you can concentrate on developing the economy.

Secondly, through diplomacy, the Song Dynasty was able to open up a large number of "monopoly markets" on the border between Liao and Jin, and exchanged a large number of high value-added products such as silk, porcelain and tea for animal husbandry products in Liao and Jin, which was very profitable, and the little old coins had already been earned back.

Of course, I'm not praising the weak diplomacy of the Song Dynasty, but it is the key factor for the economic prosperity of the Song Dynasty after all. If the rulers of Song Dynasty can make good use of it, on the one hand, to enrich the country, on the other hand, to improve Qiang Bing's comprehensive national strength is the king.

why was the economy so developed in the song dynasty?

the developed economy in the song dynasty was not a masterpiece of one period. With the development of history, the Sui and Tang Dynasties were the prosperous period of feudal society, which paved the way for the prosperity of Song and Germany, and the Song Dynasty was only the tail of this period.

Because the country was partially unified during the Sui Dynasty, it was no longer as turbulent as the wars before the Sui Dynasty. Only when the country's political situation is stable can people live and work in peace and contentment, and the development of agriculture promotes the development of handicrafts and other industries (that is, people can have more time and thoughts on other things when they have enough to eat, which promotes the development of various industries) can society have a chance to develop.

before the song dynasty, during the six dynasties, especially in the eastern Jin and southern dynasties, the agricultural development in the south of the Yangtze river extended from jiangdong to the whole Yangtze river basin, lingnan and Minjiang river basins. A large number of land in the south of the Yangtze River has been reclaimed, farming technology has improved, farmland water conservancy has been built a lot, and crop varieties have increased. However, the development of various places is uneven, and the Sanwu area is the most developed, Dongting Lake; Jiangxi po

yanghu; And Chengdu Plain are also important grain-producing areas. The development of the economy in the south of the Yangtze River makes the economy between the north and the south tend to be balanced, which lays the foundation for China's economic center of gravity to move gradually.

The reasons for the rapid development of agriculture in the south of the Yangtze River are as follows: 1. A large number of people from the north moved to the south, which enriched the labor force in the south of the Yangtze River and brought advanced production technology. The integration of southern minorities and Han nationality has accelerated economic development. 3. Politically, we should carry out persuasion, farming and mulberry; Reward farming and weaving; Pacify refugees; Policies conducive to agricultural development, such as building water conservancy projects. The climate in the south is suitable. War in the north, political stability in the south.

With the recovery of agriculture in the north, Cao Wei and Ma Jun created advanced irrigation tools and overturned them. (Manpower)

Handicraft industry is rich in varieties and technology has improved. Silk-based textile industry.

Smelting technology, Xiangzhou in Northern Wei Dynasty is famous for making knives. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the technology of steelmaking was quite proficient, and the pouring method of smelting pig iron and wrought iron into steel was invented. Porcelain-making technology is becoming more and more mature, with celadon in the south and white porcelain in the north. Paper-making technology has made remarkable progress, and the output of paper has increased, gradually replacing bamboo slips as the most important writing material. Luoyang in the north, Chang 'an. Jianye and Yangzhou in the south are both famous papermaking centers.

the development of commerce, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, many cities were destroyed, commerce once shrank, and the development of commodity economy was slow. After the Northern Wei Dynasty, the northern commodity economy recovered, and the southern commodity economy was more active.

the development of business will also bring about the development and progress of culture, science and technology. These things will have a far-reaching impact on future generations.

during the sui dynasty, the capital was built. The opening of the Grand Canal is the earliest and longest Grand Canal in the world, which is beneficial to agricultural irrigation for later generations.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was Emperor Taizong in Li Shimin who learned the lesson of the demise of the Sui Dynasty, cared for the people and made great efforts to govern. He is a benevolent gentleman. When he was in office, the politics was clear, the society was stable, the economy recovered and developed rapidly, the national strength was gradually enhanced, and the people's lives were improved. It was called "Zhenguan rule" in history.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the social economy was prosperous, the country was unified and strong, the transportation was developed, and the Silk Road on the road and at sea was relatively smooth. There are close ethnic exchanges among countries, the policy of opening to the outside world and frequent economic exchanges between China and foreign countries. The Sui and Tang Dynasties became a period of unprecedented prosperity and development of China's ancient feudal economy.

With the development of agriculture, land resources in the south of the Yangtze River are further developed. Development and improvement of irrigation tools in farmland. In the Tang dynasty, full-time officials were set up to manage water conservancy, and new irrigation tools were used, and there was a Quyuan plough in Jiangdong area, which was convenient for water conservancy farming. The degree of commercialization of agricultural products has improved. Handicrafts are developed.
