ABSTRACT

The reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty (1068-1085) was a crucial period for the expansion of the northwest border. The Northern Song government formulated certain policies for border expansion by reclaiming northern Shaanxi and Longyou. The author reveals the diversity of border politics, economy, military, and ethnic policies by analyzing the thoughts and policies of the Northern Song Dynasty, especially the evolution of the concept of "transforming into foreign states" in the southwest. The border issues of the Northern Song Dynasty not only involved ethnic relations with the outside world, but also reflected the internal rulers' understanding of the territorial boundaries. By examining documents such as "Yuanfeng Jiuyu Zhi", "Yundi Guangji", and "Map of the Transformation of Outer States and Counties in the Northern Song Dynasty", the author explores the environment of the debate on border issues in the Northern Song Dynasty, analyzes the strategies and challenges faced by the rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty when facing external ethnic regimes and border strategies.
