The Southern Song
Despite persistent military threats, the Southern Song Dynasty (1127–1279 AD) flourished, with Lin’an (modern-day Hangzhou) serving as its capital. It carried on the economic success, cultural diversity, and technological innovation of the Song dynasty, particularly in the areas of trade and shipping. The Mongol invasion brought an end to the kingdom and made room for the Yuan kingdom.
