The objective, vivid narrative changes our stereotype of "humiliating peace" in Song diplomacy, and thus provides a deeper understanding of the interaction between the two Song dynasties with other regimes.

The success or failure of diplomacy affects the survival of a regime. The "Yuanyuan model" reached by the Song and Liao maintained peace for 120 years, and the two diplomatic mistakes of the Song Dynasty, the destruction of the Liao by the Lianjin and the destruction of the Jin by the Mengmeng, directly led to the fall of the Northern and Southern Song dynasties.

(Book cards have been added here, please go to the Toutiao client to view)

In ancient Chinese history, the tragedy of cannibalism due to the struggle for imperial power occurred from time to time, however, the Song dynasty generally avoided the power struggle between the emperor's relatives and relatives, and the transfer of the imperial throne was relatively smooth. As early as the late Northern Song Dynasty, the physicist Cheng Yi listed "no civil strife in a hundred years" as the first of the "five things that surpass the ancient and modern" in the Song Dynasty. Since then, until modern times, many scholars have held the theory that "there was no civil strife in the Song Dynasty", but there is little detailed argumentation.

This book believes that the Song Dynasty basically "no internal strife", the key lies in the general "no internal dynasty", which is specifically manifested in the limited tenure of the clan, the less interference of concubines in court politics, the lack of pre-government by foreign relatives, and the absence of eunuchs, etc., and analyzes the reasons behind it from multiple perspectives such as moral concepts, institutional constraints, and imperial power and bureaucratic politics, imperial power and relative power, the Zhao family and the world of officials.
