TarcisioCM - Song

Adds the Chinese Song dynasty under Zhao Kuangyin. Requires BNW

The Song dynasty was an era of Chinese history that began in 960 and continued until 1279. Succeding the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period of China, the Song dynasty restored unity in China proper and made Song China the richest, most skilled, and most populous country on earth. Technology, science, philosophy, mathematics, and engineering flourished over the course of the Song. Although the institution of the civil service examinations had existed since the Sui dynasty, it became much more prominent in the Song period; the officials who gained power by succeeding in these exams became a leading factor in the shift from an military-aristocratic elite to a bureaucratic elite. To repel the northern Jin Dynasty, and later the Mongols, the Song developed revolutionary new military technology augmented by the use of gunpowder, but by 1279 the armies of Kublai Khan conquered the Song, and the Yuan Dynasty became the sole ruler of China.
