In the lingering fireworks world, how hot was the "stall economy" in the Song Dynasty?

Street stall economy has always been an indispensable economic expenditure in people's daily life, and the emergence of street stall economy has greatly enriched our nightlife. Street stall economy is not a term that has only appeared in recent years. As early as the Song Dynasty, the stall economy appeared, which was also quite shocking at that time. So, what was the street stall economy like in the Song Dynasty? In fact, in the Song Dynasty, the living standards of ordinary people were relatively improved, and the stall economy was also very prosperous.

First, from "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", when it comes to the life phenomenon of people in the Northern Song Dynasty, we have to mention a famous painting "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival". This painting by Zhang Zeduan perfectly presents the scene at that time and the prosperous capital city of the Capital of Song Dynasty. This famous painting has been handed down to this day, and it has high artistic reference value. In the painting, we can see many scenes of street stalls, which shows that the street stall economy in the Northern Song Dynasty has developed to a mature stage. Visible, stall economy has become the first economic model in the history of China.

Second, it is more developed than the Tang Dynasty. We all know that China's ancient thought of attaching importance to agriculture and restraining business was very serious, so many vendors' business was very difficult to do, even in Chang 'an, the most prosperous city in the Tang Dynasty, it was difficult to develop themselves. Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, there was no environment and conditions for spreading the economy. However, after the Song Dynasty, due to the rapid development of commodity economy, the rulers also reformed and innovated the rigid system. As a result, the street stall economy in Song Dynasty has been fully developed and prospered. At the same time, the art of the Song Dynasty was also a peak period, and we can also see that many artists left behind the prosperity at that time.

It can be seen that the development of stall economy in Song Dynasty is unprecedented and grand, which is far more than other dynasties in China history. In countless poems, paintings and calligraphy, we can also feel the economic prosperity and wealth of the Song Dynasty. Based on this, the Song Dynasty was also rated as the happiest dynasty in the history of China.
