Did the Song Dynasty indirectly lead to its demise because of its overdeveloped economy?

It cannot be said that the Song Dynasty was indirectly caused by the overdeveloped economy, and the main reason for the demise of the Song Dynasty was that the entire country was decayed, indulging in enjoyment, and naturally did not have much power to fight back in the face of the enemy.

No, the main reason is that the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty are too expensive, and too much money is spent on them, and the pressure on the enterprises and people below will be great, which led to the demise of the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty did not fall indirectly because of excessive economic development, but because the country was too rich, which led to a decline in the overall quality of the army, and finally due to high financial expenditures, the Song Dynasty went to extinction.

No, because the more developed the economy, the better the development of this dynasty, and it is unlikely to lead to the demise of this dynasty.

We can analyze it from a historical perspective, the fall of the Song Dynasty is only a matter of time, a feudal dynasty is destined to be destroyed, and the reason why the Song Dynasty fell was because it only valued economic development, but ignored its own military strength, which was the root of its demise.

During the Song Dynasty, the foreign country was mainly navigation, because there was the Liao State in the north, and the destruction of the Jin State was blocked early, so the northern land was blocked, and the West Fiber Xiaoque was blocked by the Tubo State and the Western Regions, and the Silk Road was broken.

During the Song Dynasty, the economy was very developed, and the navigation industry was the most advanced in the world. As long as it is carried out by land and sea and South Asian countries, southern European countries and South China Sea countries, the profits are very lucrative.

The Song Dynasty and others generally did not like to use force, but used peaceful means and fair prices to engage with others.

Overview: The Song Dynasty (960-1279) was a dynasty in Chinese history that inherited five dynasties and ten kingdoms under the Qiyuan Dynasty, divided into two stages of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, with a total of 18 emperors and 319 years of reign.

Country name: Zhao Kuangyin because of its origin in Songzhou, so the country name is called "Shengshan Song", because the royal family surname Zhao, so it is also called Zhao Song, and because the five virtues are always said, the Song Dynasty is the fire virtue, so it is also called "Fire Song", "Yan Song", and is called the Great Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty set its capital at Kaifeng, which was called Tokyo.

After gradually unifying China, it was called the Northern Song Dynasty by later generations because its territory reached the north of the Yellow River relative to the Southern Song Dynasty.

1.Unified political system and strong centralization: During this period, the imperial court implemented a unified political system and established a strong centralization, which made the country stable, thereby promoting economic prosperity and development.

2.Development of water conservancy and land: In order to ensure food production and transportation, a large number of water conservancy projects have been built, wasteland has been reclaimed, and agricultural economy has been developed to improve agricultural production efficiency.

3.Foreign trade development: With Western countries, Southeast Asian countries to increase exchanges, with their own technology and cultural traditions, the development of textile, shipbuilding, ceramics and other industries, to promote the development of commodity economy.

4.Technological progress: Inheriting the technical tradition of the Tang Dynasty, and on this basis, there were innovations, such as the wave wheel, ox ear irrigation, waterwheel, silk weaving and imitation car, acupuncture and moxibustion, etc., which played an important role in promoting economic production.

5.Commercial prosperity: Due to the stability of the country, commercial centers were gradually formed in Hangzhou, Bianjing and other places, which promoted the prosperity of the commercial economy. Commercial transport also led to the development of handicraft industries such as papermaking, tea, and sugar.

To sum up, the reasons for the economic development of the Song Dynasty were manifold, including the political system, resource advantages, foreign trade market and innovation. <>

1. The main reasons for the economic development of the Song Dynasty1. The society is relatively stableThe founding emperor of the Song Dynasty released military power with a glass of wine, emphasized literature, not martial arts, and paid attention to social and economic development.

2. Developed culture and scientific and technological progress3. Enlightened economic policyThe Song Dynasty was the only dynasty in history that did not suppress commerce.

4. The economic and cultural center of gravity has shifted southwardThe Song Dynasty attached great importance to the development of the south, and it was the period when the development was the greatest in history.

The society is relatively stable, creating external conditions for economic development; At the same time, a large number of immigrants from the north, such as the Yongjia Rebellion in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Jingkang Rebellion in the late Northern Song Dynasty, led to a large number of people moving south, bringing advanced production methods, promoting the development of science and technology in the Southern Min Defense, and improving labor productivity.

2. The performance of economic development in the Song Dynasty1. The economic prosperity of the Song Dynasty was unprecedented, with major developments in agriculture, printing, papermaking, silk weaving, and porcelain.

2. Outstanding achievements in the navigation industry and shipbuilding industry, developed overseas, and trade with more than 50 countries in the South Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and other regions.

3. The large-scale development of the south in the Song Dynasty contributed to the southward shift of the economic center.

That's because the national strength was very weak during the Song Dynasty, the national finances were extremely scarce, and the feudal towns in various places were divided, which led to the whole society falling into turmoil. After the Southern Song Dynasty, the country's economy gradually recovered. However, after the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, it was difficult for ancient China to reproduce the majesty of the Han and Tang dynasties.

What are the influencing factors?

1. The development of national strength in the Song and Yuan dynasties was not as good as before

The development of national strength in the Song and Yuan dynasties was not as good as before, and it was the weakest period since Qin Shi Huang. Because there were still many princes in the Qin Dynasty, it was difficult for the national strength of the Han and Tang dynasties to develop. The wealth accumulated from the Han and Tang dynasties was completely depleted during the Song dynasty.

Even when the Song Dynasty was powerful, it failed to make good use of these wealth. The weakening of the Southern Song Dynasty and the failure of the imperial court to rule properly led to the Mongol occupation of northwest China. Therefore, the reason for the backwardness of national strength in the Song and Yuan dynasties was not simply in the military aspect, but because the entire social environment at that time did not have enough power to consolidate national interests and rule.

Second, the Ming Dynasty's military-centered policy failed to be reversed

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted a policy of harmony and proximity, won over the minority aristocracy, and finally completely exterminated the minority aristocracy, which also made the Ming Dynasty army not have much advantage in the face of ethnic minorities. In the late Ming Dynasty, with the successive defeats of the "Southern Zheng and Northern Yuan", the Ming Dynasty completely collapsed, and finally the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, was forced to sign a peace treaty with the Southern Song Dynasty royal family. By the late Ming Dynasty, the imperial court's military strength and foreign policy had not improved.

3. Internal corruption in the Yuan Dynasty and the demise of the Yuan Dynasty were also important factors affecting the development of Chinese culture

The fall of the Song Dynasty was the result of internal corruption in the Yuan Dynasty, but the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty used the cultural resources left by the Song Dynasty to the extreme. During the Song Dynasty, the state finances were extremely scarce and the court had serious internal friction. In order to save money, various dynasties began to adopt a coinage system, which made the country's finances more strained and minted coins frequently, which led to further economic development.

However, as the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty gradually became corrupt, large quantities of copper coins were melted into molds for minting coins, resulting in the currency becoming worthless or depreciating severely. <>

Because, the level of development of the feudal economy in feudal society is indeed not high under relative circumstances.

Although the economy and culture of the Song Dynasty were very developed, the status of the military generals of the Song Dynasty was far lower than that of civilian officials. As a result, the Song Dynasty lacked famous generals, and the military strength of the Song Dynasty was very weak. It is impossible to defeat the ethnic minorities in the north.

The Song Dynasty was not weak, but it met stronger opponents. Before the Song Dynasty, there was a big gap between the northern steppe civilization and the Central Plains. After the five dynasties and ten countries of the Tang Dynasty, the steppe wolf is no longer a wild wolf, it has been baptized by the Han civilization, and the level gap is almost gone.

Because the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and finally closed off the country, although the economy was also 10 points developed, but the military strength was not strong.

Because the Song Dynasty was a dynasty that emphasized literature over military force. The force value is very backward. So it's normal to be very miserable in the later stages.

Because the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, the strength of the army was not particularly strong, so it would eventually perish, which shows how important the army is to the imperial court.

The Song Dynasty was economically developed, but it did not attach great importance to military strength, so it despised foreign enemies, and finally died so miserably.

In fact, the army of the Song Dynasty was quite strong, and it was definitely not possible to establish the country for 320 years, resisting the Mongol army that swept across Europe and Asia for half a century, and finally even the Great Khan Meng Ge was buried in the Battle of Diaoyu City.
