The Song Dynasty (960–1279) followed the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms (891–979) and was founded by Zhao Kuangyin when he united central and south China. It consisted of two eras: the first lasted from its founding in 960 to 1127, before its capital Kaifeng (in today's Henan Province) fell to the Jin regime (1115–1234); and the second lasted from 1127, when the Song was restored in Yingtianfu (in today's southwest Shangqiu, Henan Province), to 1279, when it met its final demise at the hands of the Yuan regime. Since the second government later relocated its capital south to Lin'an (today's Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province), the two eras have been respectively known in history as the Northern Song and Southern Song dynasties.
