This artist made a funny art about Zhao Kuangyin's hat. Included the rebar that poked through his head 🤣
(The artist's name is 小毛象漫画) #SongDynasty

Did you know Zhao Kuangyin had three wives? Empress He, Empress Wang and Empress Song.
The first two wives died young; Empress Song died young, too, but she died after Zhao Kuangyin died.

中国历史上，有一位皇帝：
他不是“天选之子”， 不是正统继承人， 却结束了五代十国的混乱，建立了一个影响中国三百年的王朝。
他的名字是：赵匡胤。 你可能从没真正认识过他。
#宋朝历史 #SongDynasty

Zhao Kuangyin took power without a civil war,
without mass executions,
and without ruling through terror.
In a world obsessed with violent conquerors,
his method was radical — and deeply political.

Song Dynasty Inspired Goldfish Mermaid. The selective breeding of goldfish for their color started in Song Dynasty ponds. So clearly I needed a Song Dynasty (AD 960–1279) mermaid. #historicalmermaids #mermaids #merfolk #ellenartistic #songdynasty

I was ready to risk it all at Sotheby's for this $500,000 vase from the Song Dynasty

Ever heard of the xinxue school? This Confucian movement (Q105757842) challenged orthodox Neo-Confucianism by emphasizing intuitive moral knowledge over rigid textual study—sparking debates that still resonate in East Asian philosophy today. #Confucianism #MoralEpistemology #SongDynasty
