The disequilibrium between the development of society and culture in the Song Dynasty

The period of cultural boom in the Song Dynasty was not in harmony with the general development of society at that time,and was,so to say,not in harmony with the social materials constituting the backbone of the social organization.At that time the Dynasty was in the later period and on the decline.On the whole,the rise of the Song Dynasty,unlike that of the Han and Tang Dynasties which came as a result of a massive peasant uprising that pounded at the feudal production relations,came as a result of the Chenqiao Munity and the banqueted dissolution of military powerstrategy.The Song Dynasty didn't actually do any significant harm to the chronic malady of the feudal system itself.Its Production relations and social structure relations were basically a continuation and partial develoment of the political and economic achievements of the Tang Dynasty,which,together with the ageing of its own feudal autocratic organizations and its ineffective commanding,intensified its social decline.The cultural boom in the Song Dynasty did not come as a necessary derivative from the feudal autocratic system but chiefly as a result of the change in social structure in the later period of feudalism(e.g.the landlord stratum of the clan of commoners was in the leading position)and in social relations and a result of the law of cultural development.It was in particular a result of the new thoughts and new connotations that rose among the broad masses of the people,such as equality in wealth and slatus ,an equality and liberty orientation,and the concept of personality emancipation.emancipation.Scholars'concern over the hardships of people,their lashing out against those days'evils and the formation of their patriotism also contributed to the coming of the boom.
