Abstract:
The infants-aiding measures adopted by Song Government served as an important link between the past and the future. Their striking features are like wide range with low standard, much innovation of organizations with short-time existence, institutionalization with government by man, relative backwardness of civilian measures and the fact that such aiding was basically a cause for the rich or elites. Though there existed a lot of weaknesses in such measures adopted by government, we can describe the cause with the word “developed” in their own historical period. This was because of the developed social economy, promotion of land system, government's value and influence of civilian-oriented thoughts, Buddhism, Confucianism and Taosim
