Abstract
This article is devoted to the study of the development of agriculture in China during the reign of the Song Dynasty. The interest in this period is caused by the fact that the Chinese managed to get out of the economic crisis that began at the end of Tang's reign. One of the reasons of the rapid economic recovery is that Song agriculture was innovative for its time and created the economic base that not only helped to overcome the economic crisis, but also provoked population growth, trade and economic development. In addition, under Song, it was possible to create an agrarian base on which all subsequent dynasties were based and which modern China inherits. In this regard, the question of how and by what means this was achieved becomes relevant and significant for understanding the economic history of China.
