Tips

history

靖康 Jingkang was Emperor Qinzong's reign title (1126–1127). The event is also called 靖康之耻 'the humiliation of Jingkang' or 靖康之难. The 满江红 attributed to 岳飞 says 靖康耻，犹未雪 'the shame of Jingkang is not yet wiped away'. The court fled south and refounded the dynasty as the 南宋 Southern Song.
