| Description | During the Song dynasty (960-1279 a .d .), emperors and women of the imperial court revitalized China initially under the lead ership of General Kuangyin, who became the dynasty's first em peror and established his capital at Kaifeng. This dynasty re unified China after the period of the Ten Kingdoms which dominated South China and the Five Dynasties, which had dom inated the North following the fall of the Tang dynasty. The emperors readopted the policy of paying annual tribute to the Khitan Tatars in Liao of 100,000 ounces of silver and 200,000 pieces of silk. The Khitans established the Liao dynasty in areas of northern China between 947 and 1125 a .d . The fall of the Tang dynasty had left China vulnerable to these external dis orders during the so-called Five Dynasties period, in which war lords competed. But Kuangyin had restricted the power of his commanders and relied upon civil officials. The Song had sub dued the secessionist states of the south, but they continually had problems in the north, hence the payment of the annual tribute and the appeasement of the Khitans and the Liao dy nasty's rulers. All Song military forces were placed under the command of the Emperor's court, limiting warlordism. Book Name: Notable Women of China |
