The Song Dynasty was destroyed twice by the invasion of northern ethnic minorities, and the "weak Song" was almost a historical conclusion. However, the two Song Dynasties lasted for 319 years and established the country based on civil rule, making brilliant achievements in the fields of national governance, institutional culture, literature and art. Most of the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were accomplished kings, and they implemented reforms three times. Wang Anshi's reforms had a particularly far-reaching impact. In the Song Dynasty, famous scholars emerged in large numbers, and the stars shone brightly. The scholars' character was the most prosperous, creating an epic memory in the history of the development of our national spirit. In terms of killing, using force, and opening up territories, the Song people left very few achievements for future generations to be proud of, but in the realm of national governance, as well as spiritual and cultural areas, the Song people left a rich legacy. The so-called "weak Song Dynasty" can actually be called the "prosperous Song Dynasty": she created the peak of ancient Chinese political civilization. She set off a magnificent wave of reform. She cultivated an upright scholar. She is an extraordinary dynasty worthy of our stopping and looking back.
