Game Groups > Setting: Chinese Song Dynasty

The Song Dynasty (Chinese: 宋朝) controlled the whole of China from 960 until 1127, and the Southern part of China until 1279 ("Southern Song"). Song Dynasty saw dramatic increase in population (including cities with a population exceeding one million people), economic growth, and great scientific and technological achievements in the fields of mathematics, structural and hydraulic engineering, nautical, and other branches. It was during the Song Dynasty era that the four great Chinese inventions (paper, compass, printing, and gunpowder) have become widespread and borrowed by other cultures.
