The Studies Of State Frontier Strategies And Yizhou Governance In Song Dynasty

In Tang-Song period, Yizhou was amid the paunch of the barbarians, and it also controlled fifteen regions, such as Zangke, Kunming. Yizhou was the key place of Lingnan. Manahing Yizhou well can strengthen the song dynasty’s frontier defense for the southwest. In the fifth year of the Taipingxingguo Period, Jiaozhi regime appeared civil strife. Taizong sent troops to Vietnam, which attempted to regain control in Jiaozhi regime. But it failed. In order to ease relation with Jiaozhi, the Song Dynasty pushed the Anbian Mibing Policy in Lingnan area. This situation didn’t change until Nong Zhigao rebellion. Affected by the AnBian MiBing policy, the Taizong Period and the Zhenzong Period managed Yizhou very carefully. Local officials expanded boundary gradually in Lingnan erea since Shaohua transmitted to the throne to control Jiaozhi, Yongzhou and Yizhou and so on. The change of local officials’ attitude made the Song Dynasty and Yizhou become increasingly frequent. After Anhua disorder in Renzong period, the central government of the Song Dynasty and local officials’attitudes about expanding boundary toward the same. At the same time, they took measures to manage Yizhou frequently. In the periods of Shenzong, Zhezong and Huizong, the west and south Song Dynasty pursued expanding boundary as a policy. Affected by expanding boundary policy, the Song Dynasty central government managed Yizhou vigorously. From the view of the change of Jiaozhi policy in Shenzong period, all of Meishan development, Chengrong channel and Yizhou Mangemeng were preparing for warring against Jiaozhi. Because this series of regulation made Jinghu area and Lingnan area line up. It shortened the distance between Lingnan area and the central organs which was conducive to master Lingnan information and mobilize military to the Lingnan area.After the Migration Southwards, because of its decrease, the Song Dynasty took a conservative policy in Lingnan area. In the economy, it maintained the relation with neighboring minority in Guangxi region by Guangma Policy. In the aspect of military defense, it gave up the developed land in Chongning, Daguan and Xuanhe periods and kept guarding local land. In the aspect of culture, officials such as Han Bi implemented cultural education and initiated Confucianism. As a result, it promoted the development of Yizhou culture. Mongolia attempted to attack Guangxi from Yunnan which made Guangxi become the advance position of Song Dynasty. After getting report, Lizong strengthened the defense construction of Yizhou. Meanwhile, in the face of the measures which the Song Dynasty continued to control Yizhou, local barbarians constantly fight with dynasty forces to maintain their dominance in place. In fact, the development of China was the process of dynasty forces and local barbarians game. Therefore, studying the process of Song Dynasty govern Yizhou not only contributes to understand the association between the song dynasty defense policy and local governance policy, but also helps us know the process of dynasty forces and local barbarian force game. So anglicizing the process of song dynasty governing Yizhou is a miniature of the Song Dynasty governing nation and the frontier region.
