|
| rdfs:comment | - A series of Jurchen military campaigns against the Song Dynasty began with a declaration of war in November 1125. The Jurchen Jin Dynasty had previously allied with the Song against the Khitan Liao Dynasty, but invaded the Song after a series of failed negotiations. The cities of Taiyuan and the Song capital of Kaifeng were besieged by the Jurchens, who briefly retreated from Kaifeng after the Song agreed to pay a large annual indemnity. The Chinese emperor was captured during the second Jurchen siege of Kaifeng in 1127. A treaty in 1142 settled the boundary between the two empires, but conflicts ensued for the remainder of both dynasties.

| abstract | - A series of Jurchen military campaigns against the Song Dynasty began with a declaration of war in November 1125. The Jurchen Jin Dynasty had previously allied with the Song against the Khitan Liao Dynasty, but invaded the Song after a series of failed negotiations. The cities of Taiyuan and the Song capital of Kaifeng were besieged by the Jurchens, who briefly retreated from Kaifeng after the Song agreed to pay a large annual indemnity. The Chinese emperor was captured during the second Jurchen siege of Kaifeng in 1127. A treaty in 1142 settled the boundary between the two empires, but conflicts ensued for the remainder of both dynasties. The Song Dynasty lost most of northern China to the Jin Dynasty, marking the beginning of the Southern Song period in Chinese history. Battles between the Song and Jin brought about the introduction of various gunpowder weapons. The siege of De'an was the first recorded appearance of the fire lance, an early ancestor of the firearm. Jurchen migrants settled in the conquered territories and adopted the local culture, while the government instituted a centralized imperial bureaucracy modeled on previous Chinese dynasties. The Mongol invasions of the 13th century brought an end to both the Jin and Song dynasties.
