Answer 1

The Song dynasty had a great development in the government because it was centralized but created more public positions.

What was the Song Dynasty?

The Song dynasty was a ruling dynasty in China between the years 960 and 1279 that was characterized by:

• It was the first government in world history to use paper money,
• It was the first Chinese government to establish a permanent navy.
• It was the first government in which gunpowder was used
• It was the first government in which the compass was used to point to the true North.

Like the previous dynasties, the Song Dynasty maintained Confucianism as the main religious and philosophical doctrine of China. However, in the form of government, there was a transition between the aristocracy and the bureaucracy because:

• Power was centralized.
• Government work was divided.
• More public positions were created.
• More numerous hierarchies were established.

Additionally, this system did not go against Confucianism because many Chinese citizens continued to participate in tests to gain access to public positions that would allow them to move up the social ladder.
