China, North Song dynasty, 1 Cash – ND

Description

Emperor Taizu unifies China, after the convulsive time of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms and sets the capital in Kaifeng. The Song dynasty is thus done with Chinese hegemony, with two neighbors in the north (Liao and Xiao Western). The division in Song Norte and Song Sur, refers, to that up to 1127, the Song control the entire Chinese territory (or rather traditionally controlled by the ethnican Han), and in that year the Jin dynasty conquers the north, leaving the dynasty leaving the dynasty Song south of Yangtsé (and hence the denomination of Song Sur). It was a time of notable advances in all areas. Gunpowder was used for the first time, a merit -based official was professionalized, paper money and the first printing press were used … In addition, the Song dynasty established diplomatic links with the most important Asian civilizations. In addition, the improvement in rice crops multiplies the population during this dynasty, which will finally be swept by the Mongols that will establish the Yuan dynasty.
