    History of Vietnam or What do you want to know about Vietnam?

    You conflate two entirely different concepts,the Baojia system is not equivalent to waging wars. How does depleting the treasury turn into bankruptcy,you're not even consistent with your wild claims. You claimed the Song waged war to recover money from the Baojia system now when I confront you...

    The issue isn't that they can't read Classical Chinese,the issue is that they don't source their claims or they cherry pick the texts.

    History of Vietnam or What do you want to know about Vietnam?

    Are you daft? The main intention of the Baojia reforms was intended to safeguard against rebels as well as provide as a defense against external enemies,the second was to gradually replace the Song mercenary army. Shenzong decided to go to war after Wang Anshi retired,Wang Anshi didn't want...

    History of Vietnam or What do you want to know about Vietnam?

    Your paper doesn't even back up your claim that the Baojia system crippled Song bureaucracy. I already stated that Wang Anshi intended the Baojia system to save money not spend it.

    History of Vietnam or What do you want to know about Vietnam?

    You're not even quoting from the Songshi,you're quoting from some random tourist website. Wang Anshi's death and the humiliation of Jingkang are separated by span of 41 years,you don't seem to realize that Wang Anshi policies were distorted by his successors and misuse of funds. You claim that...

    History of Vietnam or What do you want to know about Vietnam?

    You don't have the same source as me you use some random tourist website to "prove" your claims. It was the emperor's policies that lead to the downfall of Northern Song not Wang Anshi.

    Internet tourist articles are not equivalent to works written by Sinologists. My source quotes from the Song Shi as well as other Southern Song sources what does yours quote from? You claimed the Song went bankrupt,now prove your assertion.

    No,I've debunked your spurious assertions multiple times while all you do is change the goal post.

    History of Vietnam or What do you want to know about Vietnam?

    Where are the Song sources that Wang Anshi wanted to invade Dai Viet prior to a Vietnamese incursion in 1075?

    Yawn,repeating the same debunked lies,do you have no shame?:cheesy: 1.You don't seem to realize the inhabitants of southern China(who domesticated rice) 8,200-13,500 years ago were Australoids/Negroids which neither the Baiyue or Han are descended from. 2.The earliest discovered chopsticks...
