Write or Type History Card 49  - The Song Dynasty of China (960).

Started by General Yin in 960, he made Kaifeng the new capital city.  Thriving trade markets and the entertainment industry brought about 24-hour restaurants in Kaifeng. The Song Dynasty lasted about 300 years and is remembered for the times' inventions: paper money, porcelain, explosive weapons, acupuncture, the compass needle, and movable type.  Unfortunately, they also practiced foot binding of female infants to make their women have "lily feet."
