Liu Song Xiaojian, Liu Song Xiaojian four baht, Liu Song four baht set.
The Song Dynasty was the first dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it was also the dynasty with the longest existence, the largest territory and the strongest national strength in the Southern Dynasty. Because the monarch's surname was Liu, it was called Liu Song to distinguish it from the Song Dynasty established by Zhao Kuangyin later, and according to the theory of the end of the Five Virtues, it was Shui De, also known as The Water Song.
Liu Yu took advantage of the turmoil at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to rise, successively pacifying the forces of Sun En, Huan Xuan, Liu Yi, Lu Xun, Tan Zhong, and Sima Xiuzhi, and then destroying Southern Yan and Later Qin. Not only did it unify southern China, but it also captured Huaibei, Shandong, Henan, Guanzhong, and finally established the Song Dynasty on behalf of the Jin Dynasty, with the capital jiankang (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu).
In the early Song Dynasty, when society was stable, before and after Liu Yu took the throne, he vigorously promoted reforms, centralized power in the central authorities, suppressed the mergers and acquisitions of haoqiang, implemented soil breaks, cracked down on the haoqiang clan, straightened out the administration of officials, reused the cold door, developed production, lightly dispensed with thin endowments, abolished harsh laws, personally listened to lawsuits, revitalized education, tried to test the talents of the prefectures and counties, and performed good deeds, and sent envoys to visit the people's sufferings many times to improve the political and social conditions. After Liu Yu's death, The Song Emperor Liu Yilong continued to implement Liu Yu's governing strategy, and a prosperous scene appeared, known in history as the "Rule of Yuan Jia". In the late Song Dynasty, the government was chaotic, and the emperors changed frequently. In 479, the powerful minister Xiao Daocheng seized the throne and destroyed the Song Dynasty and established Southern Qi.
