Emperor Yingzong(Ying-tsung)(16 February 1032 – 25 January 1067) was the fifth emperor of the Song Dynasty of China. He reigned from 1063 to 1067. His temple name means "Outstandingly Talented Ancestor".
The Song dynasty was a ruling dynasty in China between 960 and 1279. It succeeded the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and was followed by the Yuan Dynasty. It was the first government in world history to nationally issue banknotes or true paper money, and the first Chinese government to establish a permanent standing navy. This dynasty also saw the first known use of gunpowder.
The Song Dynasty is divided into two distinct periods: the Northern Song and Southern Song. During the Northern Song(960–1127), the Song capital was in the northern city of Bianjing (now Kaifeng), and the dynasty controlled most of inner China. The Southern Song(1127–1279) refers to the period after the Song lost control of northern China to the Jin Dynasty in the Jin–Song wars.
The obverse incription reads "Chih-P'ing YUAN-PAO" in orthodox script.
