The Song Dynasty (The Northern Song Dynasty)

The Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), called the Song Dynasty in combination with the Southern Song Dynasty, is also known as "the Two Song Dynasties". Since its capital was in Bianliang (Kaifeng, Henan Province today) in the north, it was historically known as the Northern Song Dynasty in order to distinguish it from the later Southern Song Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty, beginning from the demise of Emperor Gongdi of Zhou following a coup by Zhao Kuangyin, lased 157 years with 9 emperors in the reign, and governed the areas mainly inhabited by the Han people in the south of the basin of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. In antagonism with Liao, Jin and Western Xia successively, the Northern Song Dynasty was conquered by Jin in the second year of Jingkan (1127).
