Why did the prosperity of maritime trade not make the Southern Song Dynasty truly rich and powerful

Mainly the first products of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time were mainly luxury goods and copper products, but this luxury goods can only be used by the rich, and copper products are the main materials for minting coinsUnder the imbalance, ordinary people do not enjoy any benefits, the foundation of the country lies in the people, the people's lives have not been improved, and no matter how many measures are taken, it is useless.

At that time, the sea ** was indeed very popular in the Southern Song Dynasty, but the problem was that the main exports were luxury goods and metal products, which reflected that the ancient kings had no foresight, and generally said that the rarer the more precious, and some resources can be exhausted. Therefore, before the inflow of the Americas in the Ming Dynasty, ancient China has been in a state of lack of energy, and copper, as a raw material for contemporary coin casting, is very lacking, but I didn't expect the Southern Song Dynasty to be stupid, with the scarce copper used to make money in exchange for luxury goods, that is not the circulation of coins in the market is very limited, how to make the people rich.

Moreover, it is precisely because of this inequality between the rich and the poor that the class contradictions are getting deeper and deeper. First of all, luxury goods are affordable for the rich, so the rich people squeeze their own labor force, and they produce it for themselves, which also leads to a decrease in the labor force that should be used to support the national industry, so there will be a contradiction between the rich businessmen and the state, and the contradiction between the state and the grassroots working people, coupled with the inflation brought about by the consumption of luxury goods, will inevitably increase the ability of ordinary people to pay, thus seriously inhibiting the development of society as a whole.

Therefore, the prosperity of a country is not promoted by individuals or small groups, but by the wholeOtherwise, it will only lead to inequality between the rich and the poor and class contradictions.

The merchants of the Song Dynasty ushered in an unprecedented good time. The Song and Song dynasties vigorously supported and encouraged industry and commerce.

That's because the prosperity of the sea ** has not developed particularly maturely, so the Southern Song Dynasty has not become rich and strong, and the other is that the Southern Song Dynasty has long been outdated in terms of economic and national strength at that time.

The prosperity of the sea ** did not develop particularly maturely, and the Southern Song Dynasty had long been outdated in terms of economic and national strength.

Because the sea sweater at that time was not so mature.

The weakening of the national strength of the Southern Song Dynasty could not be brought back to life just by relying on the sea.

In 2013, China officially proposed the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, which will benefit all countries along the route and be in line with a community with a shared future for mankind.

and the core values of socialism.

Under the guidance of the world, the world will prosper and the countries along the route will prosper. In fact, the Maritime Silk Road has been taking shape since the Qin and Han dynasties, and its basic route is from the eastern or southern coast of China through the Strait of Malacca.

It travels through South Asia to Europe or Africa. So why was the Maritime Silk Road so prosperous during the Song Dynasty? Let me share my own views.

1. During the Song Dynasty, the overland Silk Road gradually declined <>

During the Tang Dynasty, the overland Silk Road reached its peak, followed by the maritime Silk Road. But as we all know, after the Tang Dynasty, our country went through five dynasties and ten kingdoms, which can be said to be the entire Central Plains.

encountered a great turmoil, and then during the Song Dynasty, there were Jin and Western Xia around the Song Dynasty.

and so on, so the overland Silk Road has gradually declined. And this objectively also promoted the prosperity of the Maritime Silk Road, so we can see that the Maritime Silk Road was very prosperous during the Song Dynasty.

Second, the first policy-oriented <>

During the Qing Dynasty, the Maritime Silk Road experienced decline, which was due to the Qing Dynasty.

Began to implement the policy of closing the country to the outside world. During the Song Dynasty, the reason why the Maritime Silk Road was able to reach its peak was also related to the ** policy at that time. The Song Dynasty advocated business as a whole, and its business environment can also be said to be the most superior among the various feudal dynasties in China, so it is the endorsement of the best policy.

, which led to the prosperity of the Maritime Silk Road.

Third, the economic center of gravity has gradually shifted southward <>

In the Qin Dynasty, the capital of our country was Xianyang; In the Tang Dynasty, China's capital was Chang'an and Luoyang; Then, during the Song Dynasty, China's economic center of gravity gradually began to move south, and Bian'an and Gusu became very prosperous southern cities at that time, and Quanzhou also became the leading port city at that time.

Because there were many merchants on the Silk Road, and they were all very rich, it was so prosperous.

During the Song Dynasty, China's navigation technology has developed greatly, and the compartment of the hull, Sinan and so on have a great role in promoting navigation; Commerce in the Song Dynasty was extremely prosperous, and both Song Taizu and Song Taizong had ordered the encouragement of commercial activities, and commerce almost reached the extreme in the Song Dynasty; During the Southern Song Dynasty, there were no large-scale mineral deposits in the ruling area, and Japan, Nanyang and other places with more production had to be reached by sea, which promoted the rise of the sea.

Because in this dynasty, the economy was very prosperous. The emperor of the current dynasty paid special attention to this aspect, so he vigorously developed the ** industry, and promoted his country's silk fabrics, tea, medicinal materials, and other things abroad. So so prosperous.

The reason for the prosperity of the Maritime Silk Road during the Song and Yuan dynasties was that the Song Dynasty adopted mercantilism economically.

policy to encourage overseas hand halls**.

The development of the Maritime Silk Road has entered its heyday.

The shipbuilding technology and navigation technology of the Song Dynasty improved significantly, and the compass.

Widely used in navigation, the long-distance navigation ability of Chinese merchant ships has been greatly enhanced. The Song Dynasty maintained friendly relations with the southeastern coastal countries for most of the time, and Guangzhou became the largest port overseas.

The continuous development of the Maritime Silk Road in the Song Dynasty greatly increased the financial revenue of the imperial court and the port city, promoted economic development and urbanized life to a certain extent, and also provided convenient conditions for cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. The development of the Maritime Silk Road has entered its heyday.

The reason for the prosperity of the Maritime Silk Road in the Song and Yuan dynasties was that the Song Dynasty regretted adopting a mercantilist policy in the economy and encouraging overseas, and the development of the Maritime Silk Road entered its heyday. State is positive.

I think that our ancient sea was originally developed, and the Song Dynasty understood that the Western Regions were lost, and the words of the Yuan Dynasty probably continued the situation of the Song Dynasty.

1. The people of the Song Dynasty invented the compass, which has high shipbuilding technology and is conducive to the navigation of the Xun world.

2. **Encourage citizens to go overseas**.

3. The commerce of the Song Dynasty was prosperous, and there were more overseas merchants who came to the Song Dynasty, which led to the development of the Song Dynasty.

4. People live a stable and prosperous life.

The reason for the development of overseas ** in the Song Dynasty:

1. Fundamental reasons: the development of agriculture and handicrafts, the prosperity of dust-covered commerce (the development of productive forces) 2. Politics: **Encourage overseas**.

3. Technology: the development of navigation and shipbuilding technology.

4. Military: The Northern Silk Road was blocked, and had to find another way.

At that time, the countries that traded with China were: Champong, Chenla, Sriwijaya, Kelantan, Boni, Balinfeng, Lan Wuli, Diche, Sanyu, Dashi, Daqin, Persia, Baida, Majia, Yilu, Gulin, Xilan, Dengliumei, Zhongli, Sgarye, Mulan Pi and other Eurasian Wuwutuan Zen 18 countries.

1. Reason: From the perspective of the domestic situation, the southern economy of the Song Dynasty developed rapidly, and the center of gravity of China's economy shifted southward, which became the basis for the active development of overseas in the Song Dynasty.

From the perspective of the international environment, after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Arab merchants continued to open up trade routes to the east, and more and more entered and exited China's coastal ports. Objectively, it has created a favorable international business environment for foreign economic exchanges between the two Song Dynasty.

Judging from the policies of the two Song Dynasty, they actively support businessmen to carry out foreign affairs.

From the point of view of technical conditions, the improvement of shipbuilding technology at that time, the use of the compass in navigation, and the understanding and use of wind direction, etc., the progress of these navigation technologies was an important reason for the prosperity of overseas in the Song Dynasty.

From the perspective of geographical conditions, from the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, ethnic minorities such as Tubo, Khitan, Dangxiang, and Jurchen rose one after another, controlling the Hexi Corridor in the northwest, so the Tang and Song dynasties were hindered and interrupted by land contacts with West Asia and European countries, and the sea routes in Southeast Asia became the inevitable choice of the Song Dynasty's foreign exchanges.

2. Overview: Performance: By the time of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were more than 50 countries that came to trade by sea; There are many first-class ports on the southeast coast, among which Guangzhou, Quanzhou and Mingzhou are the three famous foreign trade ports.

The government has set up a municipal shipping department in the ** port to manage ** affairs and collect commercial taxes; The port where the city port is located also has a "Banbo" for foreign merchants and a "Banshi" for the trading of goods.

Contents: Overseas ** in the Song Dynasty, the imported goods mainly include spices, treasures, medicinal materials, etc., and the exported goods are mainly silk fabrics, porcelain, tea, etc.

3. Influence: The overseas ** of the Song Dynasty not only enabled the Song Dynasty to obtain huge financial revenues, but also added vitality to the civilization process of the trading countries.

1. The people of the Song Dynasty invented the compass, which has high shipbuilding technology and is conducive to the navigation of the Xun world.

2. **Encourage citizens to go overseas**.

3. The commerce of the Song Dynasty was prosperous, and there were more overseas merchants who came to the Song Dynasty, which led to the development of the Song Dynasty.

4. People live a stable and prosperous life.
