*''Chinese/Japanese'': 宋 ''(Song / Sou)''
The Song Dynasty ruled China from [[960]], when China, fractured during the period of the [[Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms]], was reunited, until [[1279]], when it fell to Mongol invasions, marking the beginning of the [[Yuan Dynasty]].

It is divided into the [[Northern Song Dynasty]] (960-[[1127]]), when the capital was at [[Kaifeng]] (then known as Baijing), and the [[Southern Song Dynasty]] (1127-1279), when the capital was at [[Hangzhou]] (then known as Lin'an), following the loss of the northern half of the country to [[Jurchens|Jurchen]] forces whose polity in the north was termed the [[Jin Dynasty (1115–1234)|Jin Dynasty]].
