唐宋转型 / Tang-Song Transition

Tang-Song transition / 唐宋转型 is the historical frame that [[WangHongjie|王洪杰]] uses in EP252 《太平年》之外的五代十国，什么样？ to explain why [[FiveDynastiesTenKingdoms|五代十国]] matters. The question is not only how Tang collapsed or Song became prosperous, but what institutional, regional, social, and cultural changes occurred in between.

The episode makes the transition concrete through military regimes, southern stability, class mobility, literati continuity, succession trouble, women, commerce, and the southward movement of economic and cultural weight. It therefore treats the period as a transformation engine rather than a blank space between better-known dynasties.
