@Asmr-Blind-HistoryA deep dive into How the Song Dynasty Changed China Forever — from Taizu’s centralizing reforms and the civil‑official state to the commercial revolution, Champa rice, paper money, urban growth in Kaifeng and Hangzhou, and the rise of Neo‑Confucianism under Zhu Xi. Learn how technological advances (movable type, compass, early gunpowder), exam‑based social mobility, and lineage networks reshaped society even as military limits and the Mongol conquest ended the dynasty.
