Mr.Derek(China) replied:

The first emperor of Song is Zhao Kuangyin. He once was a general of Latter Zhou State, which was one of the ten states in the Five Dynasties and Ten States Period.In the Five Dynasties and Ten States Period, China was not unified.In north China, there were five dynasties and in south China, there were ten states. But they were not powerful enough. Threat did exist among the states and the threat was also from the northern ethnic minorities. One day, the Latter Zhou heard that Northern Han and Qidan people wanted to fight against their country. Then, the general Zhao Kuangyin was asked to defend. On the way, Zhao Kuangyin's subordinates said the emperor of Latter Zhou was too young to dominate the country and they hoped Zhao was crowned. Zhao pretended to be unwilling to accept this request. At this moment, his brother put the emperor's robe on his back and declared Zhao was the emperor.

Mr.Xu(CN) replied:

The reign of Song Renzong is the golden age of the Song Dynasty but also the starting point of Song's decline. He was a merciful emperor. He put capable officials in very important positions. On his reign, the Song Dynasty were often defeated by West Xia and Liao states. He was forced to send money, tea and silk to these ethnic minority states to sue for peace. The official Fan Zhongyan tried to reform but finally he failed.

Ms.Evelyn(China) replied:

In the Song Dynasty, gunpowder has been used in wars. Compass and movable type printing were invented. Song is the climax of Chinese feudal times. It had a good lesson from the Five Dynasties. The Song government considered that the decline of the Five Dynasties was resulted from warlords. The Five Dynasties attach much importance on wars, arms and armies. Continuous wars made the country weak. Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, the government started to attach much importance on civil officials and decreased the number of military officials. However, in the same period, the ethnic minorities in North China such as Mongolians, Liao and Jin set up small countries. They are nomadic groups and good at riding horse and archery. Their countries became more and more powerful. So, they want to defeat the Song and conquered more lands. The Song Dynasty had to cope with many wars. The wars influenced economy very badly.The Song government was corrupt with the treacherous court officials.

Mr.Chang(Taiwan) replied:

The Song dynasty isn't really distinguished for its emperors.

They mostly relied on the government bureaucracy to handle national issues since they were so complicated in this time, such as Mongols and booming commerce.
