76. The prosperity of commerce during the two Song dynasties first manifested itself in the boom of urban commerce. The most prominent metropolises were Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Lin'an (Hangzhou), the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. Kaifeng had been increasingly prosperous since the Five Dynasties, and by the time of the Northern Song Dynasty, it had developed into a megacity with a population exceeding one million, making it one of the largest cities in the world at the time, with an unprecedentedly thriving commerce. The city had both bustling commercial districts and specialized trading venues. The "Qingming Festival on the River" painted by Zhang Zeduan, a Northern Song Dynasty painter, vividly reflects the bustling commercial scene within Kaifeng. The Southern Song Dynasty established its capital in Lin'an, which reached its peak with a population of one million, replacing Kaifeng to become the largest city in the world at the time. The city was filled with shops, thriving trade, morning and night markets connected throughout the day, and various establishments such as inns, tea houses, and entertainment venues. The variety of goods increased, and various types of markets appeared. Many agricultural and sideline products, as well as handicrafts, began to turn to the market and became important commodities. For instance, the surplus grain of farmers in the Suzhou and Huaihe regions, and the bamboo and wood products made by bamboo craftsmen in the south, all turned into commodities. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the increase in the variety of commodities led merchants to pay attention to packaging and advertising their products. The popular saying during the Southern Song Dynasty, "When Suzhou and Huaihe are productive, the world is satisfied," indicates that the surplus grain of the farmers in the Suzhou and Huaihe regions had become important commodities. In the cities, various types of markets, both regular and irregular, as well as specialized and seasonal, appeared. The revenue from commercial taxes had increasingly become an important source of government revenue.
