Sòng

The Song was a Chinese dynasty founded in 960, with its northern capital at Bianjing, now Kaifeng. After the Jin conquered northern China in 1127, the Southern Song ruled from Lin'an, now Hangzhou, until the Yuan defeated it at Yamen in 1279.

In 1355 the Red Turban leader Liu Futong proclaimed Han Lin'er emperor of a restored Song at Bozhou. Their forces briefly held Kaifeng, but lost it in 1359; Han drowned in 1367, shortly before Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming.
