Why did Zhao Can Town, Song Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty create the most prosperous era in the history of China?

What Song Renzong wants to do most in his life is political reform, because only political reform can change the phenomenon of poverty and weakness and make Qiang Bing rich. However, the long-awaited "Li Qing Reform" soon failed. For the emperor, heroes can't be judged only by success or failure. It is true that Emperor Injong did not achieve many things, but it is not easy for him to set a goal in his life and make unremitting efforts for it. He discovered that Fan Zhongyan was a talented person before he took office, and he always wanted to use him. Li Qing's political reform failed, and he didn't lose heart. When the peasants invaded Guangnan County, they broke through the personnel system and squeezed through the crowd, and appointed Di Qing, a general from a soldier background, as commander in chief, to quell the peasants' rebellion. When the war in the northwest frontier is unfavorable, it is enough to inspire people to win a great victory in the south. After Di Qing was dismissed, he supported Bao Zheng to enforce the law impartially in Kaifeng and opposed the abuse of power by powerful people. Two years before his death, he once again used Wang Anshi as an official and planned another larger-scale reform. Stop struggling and you stop living.

When creating spiritual wealth, intellectuals especially need spiritual relaxation. The era of Renzong was a particularly relaxed era for intellectuals, so literary and artistic undertakings were very developed. Among the eight classical Chinese writers in China, the Northern Song Dynasty alone accounted for six. These six schools (Su San, Ouyang Xiu, Ceng Gong and Wang Anshi) were all active in the Renzong era, and officials in the Song Dynasty were well paid. After retirement, they can travel in the forest, recite poems and compositions. This generous system enables officials to create with peace of mind and have no worries, so literature and art have made countless achievements and can be passed down from generation to generation. In the Song Dynasty, officials were all scholars in literature. In the later period of Injong, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo and Ceng Gongliang successively became ministers, Ouyang Xiu participated in politics, Bao Zheng was the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Sima Guang understood the suggestion court, and Wang Anshi understood the imperial edict, which was truly a talent peak and full of gentlemen. Such a thing only existed in the Song Dynasty and only in the Song Renzong era.
