Song dynasty | Chinese culture "created in the era of zhao and song"

The historical position of the song dynasty, in many textbooks, gives the impression of "poor and weak", as if this is the whole history of the song dynasty.In fact, Chen yinke once said that Chinese culture "was created in the era of zhao and song".In fact, throughout ancient China, no dynasty and song dynasty than the people rich, folk music.As early as wang Dan, the prime minister of zhenzong dynasty, pointed out, "the capital with assets of one million is at most, and hundreds of thousands of people can be found everywhere".To put it simply: the song dynasty was a powerful engine, the so-called "poor and weak" impression, but the output turned out to be a problem, and the cultural output side is the best in history.
