Sung Dynasty

1000 A.D, I am here to talk about the Song Dynasty, as it was called.  So here I go!
    In 960 A.D, Zhao Kuangyin reunited China and founded the Song Dynasty.  This Dynasty did many things for China such as making a better way of life.  The Song Dynasty made, somehow, fast growing rice, so there would be two crops of rice per year.  That’s a good thing because now there was a surplus of food, so people could get money and help China.  Even though that the Grand Canal was built long ago, the Song Dynasty helped it reach its peak by encouraging internal trade and transportation.  The extra food that was grown could be shipped to the capital in the north.
    They helped China in more ways like helping the economy by making trade better, and having Merchants arrive from India, Persia, and Arabia.  They also helped the economy by making the use of paper money so people could use paper for money instead of coins and other currencies. The effect on China was that it was once again ruled by people, and all the things that the Sung/Song Dynasty did for China, effected them.
