Editor’s note:

The Song Dynasty (960-1279) is divided into two distinct periods, Northern and Southern. During the Northern Song (960-1127), the royal court built its capital in present-day Kaifeng, Henan Province. It then retreated to the south of the Yangtze River and established the Southern Song (1127-1279), founding its capital at modern-day Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.

In August 2021, the Zhejiang government launched the Song Dynasty Cultural Legacy Project, with the goal of establishing Song culture as a defining symbol of Zhejiang Province. This initiative emphasizes unique Zhejiang elements and sets the dynasty apart through its thriving economy and vibrant art scene.

A series of activities and exhibitions will be held across the city to enable residents to explore their cultural heritage and to promote historical knowledge among younger generations.
