What was the reason for the development of the civil service system in the Song Dynasty to its peak?

1. The Song Dynasty relaxed the imperial examination.

At the same time, in order to strengthen the fairness and impartiality of the imperial examination, the method of obfuscation and the method of recording records were implemented, and innovative reforms were carried out on the basis of the previous dynasties.

2. In the Song Dynasty, in order to exclude the military generals from the highest center of power and maintain the peace and stability of the country, measures were taken to elevate the status of civil officials.

To sum up, the civil service system in the Song Dynasty developed to its peak.

1.By elevating the status of civil officials and "ruling the world together with scholars", the civil and official class was united to achieve the taming of the military general class, and the military generals were excluded from the core of the supreme power, putting an end to the tragedy of the five dynasties and ten countries of military generals and frequent usurpation of the country (none of the five dynasties has been established for more than 20 years), and achieved peace and long-term stability of the country.

2."Don't kill scholars" this ancestral motto is thoroughly implemented, any scholar, as long as it does not involve rebellion, no matter how big the crime is, he will not be killed, he will not raid his home (of course, not to mention extermination), at most he will be degraded, this kind of personal security society has cultivated the morale of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty is the most powerful dynasty, but it is a relatively weak era of imperial power.

Most of the scholars took the world as their own responsibility, and would not unconditionally cater to the emperor's wishes, and had the subconscious to resist the spread of imperial power (at that time, it was called opposing "chaotic life", "death advice" or something, of course, in fact, they would not die), pointing at the emperor's nose and scolding was nothing at that time, and when Sima Guang refuted the emperor, even the spit flew to the emperor's face.

When Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was in a yellow robe, he was seriously suspicious because of a strong armed force. is afraid that others will use the same method to pull him **, so he emphasizes literature over force. did not want the military attache to hold real power, which also paved the way for the Northern Song Dynasty to be poor and weak in the later Song Dynasty.

The main reason is to prevent the warriors from rebelling. Before the Northern Song Dynasty and after the Tang Dynasty, this period of time was completely the world of the warriors, the feudal towns were divided, the soldiers and the teeth were in rebellion, the civil officials had no status at all, and there were countless rebellions of all kinds. Even the Northern Song Dynasty's own world was obtained by military generals through the suspicion of the main Shaoguo.

Therefore, the Northern Song Dynasty implemented civilian politics and suppressed the military personnel, making the status of the military attachés very low, so as to prevent the military attachés from rebelling. Of course, the role is still used, whether it is the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial power has always been very stable, and the final demise is not civil strife, but was destroyed by the enemy.

The impact was that the status of the warriors was low, not only the literati looked down on the warriors, but also the common people, so the society at that time attached importance to the scholars and despised the generals. As the saying goes, "The roll call outside the Donghua Gate is a good man!" "As for the generals, you can see what the treatment of the generals during the Northern Song and Southern Song dynasties was.

The Zhejia of the Northern Song Dynasty, Di Qing, and Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty are the most typical examples. Therefore, the typical consequence of the implementation of civilian politics is that the status of the warriors is low, the combat effectiveness of the army is not good, and the situation of laymen guiding insiders in wartime is very prominent, which is mainly responsible for the demise of the Song Dynasty.

The reason, of course, is that since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the fifth dynasty, martial arts have interfered in politics, and once the military power is in hand, rebellion has almost become an irreversible and inevitable trend.

In view of this, the early Song Dynasty began to pay attention to restricting the power of the martial arts There was the Song generation, and there was no martial artist to serve in the two governments, except for Di Wu Xianggong, who was also a privy deputy envoy. Moreover, just for this Privy Vice-Minister, a generation of famous generals was scared to death.

In this context, even though the Song Dynasty, with the most developed economic strength in history, devoted all its power to the research and development of military equipment, the combat effectiveness of the army was always unsatisfactory.

It can even be said that the rise and fall of the Great Song Dynasty depends on this national policy.

It is that the society is more enlightened and tolerant, because after all, the literati are of high quality and have a broad vision, which can influence the direction of social speech. Moreover, civil government is the best political model and has a great positive effect, so the Song Dynasty as a whole is relatively enlightened, which can produce the peak of ancient China's economy and culture.

To the text of the imperial martial arts. The typical representative is the highest officer of the Privy Council who commanded the military and political affairs of the Song Dynasty, and almost all of the privy envoys are civilian officials. The scholar doctor played a certain role in restricting the imperial power, and he could hear about the words, and the Song Dynasty made a rule not to kill the scholar doctor with his words.

The civil officials of the Song Dynasty lived to the right time, and Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty stipulated that he would not kill the scholars. So in the imperial court encouraged those who advised the doctors.

It is undeniable that the Song Dynasty was the best era of civil rule in ancient China, and the treatment of scholars and doctors was unprecedented.

1. There are many supernumerary personnel.

2. A lot of executive power is shared by several people.

3. Freedom of speech is relatively large.

4. The economic treatment is very generous, and the literati are never killed politically.

To add, the governors of the Song Dynasty were also served by civilian officials to prevent military generals from seizing power and rebelling.

Mindful of the world, people-oriented, party struggle is more serious.

The civil servants formed a large bureaucracy that could sometimes even be used against the emperor.

The huge Wenguan group and the more open imperial examination system have given the majority of young students a clear goal to strive for, so they are relatively stable politically.

From the first to the locality, civilian officials are the longest, and civil affairs are more important than military force, which leads to the low combat effectiveness of local armies.

Cowardly, only knows how to collect money, and is incompetent in diplomacy. So it can only be called Fu Song.

The main feature of the political system of the Song Dynasty is the strengthening of centralized power, which is reflected in the official system, which has several major characteristics, namely, the centralization of power, the decentralization of the power of hundreds of officials, and the emphasis on literature over military force.
