宋国 / Song State
宋国 / Song State enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·周纪》07丨两起刺杀（2）, where the episode pauses during the 宋悼公 to 宋休公 succession notice to explain why Song was special among pre-Qin states. The source says Song preserved the Shang lineage through 微子启 and received high ritual status under Zhou rule.
The page’s wiki role is not a full institutional history. It anchors Shang-Remnant State Legitimacy / 商裔封国合法性, the idea that a conquered dynasty’s surviving lineage can be incorporated into the new order as a ritually honored guest rather than being eliminated.
The episode also uses Song to connect later classical authority back to lineage: 孔子 is said to descend from Song nobility through 孔父嘉.
《资治通鉴·周纪》10丨 以家族单位 有蚂蚁吃大象的精神（1） adds the later succession from 宋休公, whose personal name is given as Song Tian, to 宋辟公 in 373 BCE.
《资治通鉴·周纪》10丨 以家族单位 有蚂蚁吃大象的精神（2） continues the same ruler line: 宋辟公 dies, and his son 宋剔成 succeeds in the Zhou Lie Wang sixth-year notice.
《资治通鉴·周纪》08丨一代名将吴起惨死（3） adds an earlier sparse war notice saying that Song’s ruler is captured in the 385 BCE cluster. The transcript leaves the attacking force unclear, so the wiki keeps the point source-scoped as evidence of Song’s exposure in Early Warring States Interstate War / 战国早期诸侯混战 rather than assigning a firm causal story.
《资治通鉴·周纪》11丨 世界风起云涌（1） adds a 365 BCE war notice: 魏国 attacks Song, and the host says 《史记》 records Wei winning and taking some Song territory. In this branch, Song functions as one more target in the early 周显王 conflict churn.
《资治通鉴·周纪》14丨齐威王 不鸣则已一鸣惊人 adds Song to the 356 BCE Pinglu meeting with 赵国 and 齐国, another compact notice in the early 周显王 diplomatic field.
《资治通鉴·周纪》26丨孟子来了！ adds the 336 BCE notice that 宋太丘社 disappeared. The episode treats the event as an unresolved ritual or omen problem rather than a settled mandate-transfer claim.
《资治通鉴·周纪》34丨秦国总理如何玩转六国 gives Song a sharper political turn in 329 BCE. 宋君偃, the younger brother of 宋剔成, overthrows him; Song Ticheng flees to 齐国, and Yan rules Song. The episode emphasizes that Song is not one of the Seven Warring States but still has enough military and political force to matter later.
《资治通鉴·周纪》45｜以史为鉴，君王到底该不该杀人成性？ follows that warning through 宋康王 / 宋君偃. After claiming kingly title in 318 BCE, he expands against Qi, Chu, Wei, Xue, and Teng, but his cruelty turns strength into isolation. When Qi, Chu, and Wei attack, Song’s people refuse to defend him; the ruler is killed, the land is divided, and Song disappears as a state. The episode uses Song as the direct negative case for 不爱杀人者能一之 and 民心型政治安全.
《资治通鉴·周纪》68丨惊叹宋康王荒淫无度的狗血历史（1） supplies the geopolitical prelude to that final Song branch. Song is presented as wealthy central-plains territory where “ten li of Song” can outweigh much larger land elsewhere; 齐湣王 wants it, while 魏冉 and 李兑 also covet 陶 / 定陶 or Song-region benefits for private-fief reasons. The episode ends with Qin taking 安邑 while giving Qi room to attack Song, so Song becomes the object where great-power strategy and 以国战扩私邑 overlap.
《资治通鉴·周纪》68丨惊叹宋康王荒淫无度的狗血历史（2） deepens that final Song branch. Song’s expansion is tied to an omen read through 祥瑞政治, its fall is tied to Qi’s reputation campaign and 道德化战争借口, and 滕国 becomes important because the episode frames it as a 孟子 / Mencius-linked Confucian experiment. The source keeps Song’s destruction as a political-security failure while adding a historiographical caution: later accounts of Song Kang Wang may also reflect 亡国君污名建构.
