Song Taizu became emperor, when the troops under his command put him in power. Because he didn't want oposition to the throne, he weakened the military, so that he wouldn't have to worry about being over powered by the military. Unfortunately, the military was so weak, that when the Jerchen people attacked, they had no choice but to move into Southern China, to the new capital in Hangzhou
The Song Dynasty is divided into the Northern Song (960-1127) and the Southern Song (1127-1279) due to the significant political and geographical changes that occurred after the Jurchen invasion. The Northern Song, centered in the north, faced military pressure from nomadic tribes, leading to its collapse when the Jurchens conquered the capital, Kaifeng. Following this, the Southern Song was established in the south, with its capital at Hangzhou, where it continued to flourish culturally and economically despite losing territory in the north. This division highlights the dynasty's shift in power and influence as it adapted to new challenges.

The Jin/Jeruchen Dynasty was forcing it to pay tribute and was slowly invading the empire, so to avoid all the trouble, they moved South. Though they were still paying tribute, S. Song eventually militarily confronts the Jin, and the Mongols took Jin over, so the Jin no longer meddled with Song.

Beijing was not the capital during the majority of the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Instead, the Song Dynasty is divided into the Northern Song (960-1127) and Southern Song (1127-1279) periods, with its capital initially in Kaifeng. After the Jurchen invasions in the early 12th century, the Song court retreated south, establishing a new capital in Hangzhou. However, Beijing, known as Dadu during the Yuan Dynasty, became significant later as the capital of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties.
