What was the name of the last emperor in the Song Dynasty?
The last emperor of the Song Dynasty was called zhào bǐng, that is, Song Huaizong, and his reign was from 1278 to 1279. In the second year of Xiangxing (1279), in March of 19, the Southern Song Dynasty and Mengyuan fought a decisive battle in Yashan (known as the "Yashan naval battle" in history). Song Jun was defeated by the Yuan Army, which surrounded the Cliff Mountain (now Yamen, Xinhui). Lu Xiufu, the left prime minister, jumped into the sea carrying Zhao Min, who was only 8 years old, on the cliff hill, and hundreds of soldiers and civilians died one after another.

After Zhao Min fell into the sea and died, the body of Shaodi surfaced. A flock of birds crouched on the corpse, covered with the remains of Shaodi, drifting with the tide until Chiwan (now Shekou, Shenzhen). There is a Tianhou Temple by the sea in Chiwan. One day, the temple owner went to the seaside to play, and suddenly saw a floating corpse on the sea, covered and protected by birds.

The temple owner thought that the floating corpse must be the remains of aliens, so he tried to drag it ashore. When the floating corpse came ashore, the birds flew away, revealing the body of a child, dressed in a yellow robe and ruddy as a stranger.

The temple owner knows that this is the remains of the young emperor Zhao Min. At this moment, a pillar of the Tianhou Temple by the sea suddenly collapsed. The master of the temple and the elders of Taigong thought that this pillar was the wood used by Tianhou Empress to make a coffin for Shaodi, so they made a coffin with it and buried Shaodi at the foot of Xiaonan Mountain in the west of Tianhou Palace.

Yamen naval battle, also known as Yamen Battle, Yamen Battle and Yamen Naval Battle in Song and Yuan Dynasties, was 1279 (in the second year of Xiangxing in Southern Song Dynasty and in the sixteenth year of Yuan Dynasty), a large-scale naval battle of Song and Meng armies in Yamen Mountain, and a rare naval battle in ancient China.

Yashan Mountain is located in Yamen Town, about 50 kilometers south of Xinhui District, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province. It is the place where Yinzhou Lake goes to sea and the entrance and exit of tidal fluctuation. There are cliff mountains in the east and soup bottle mountains in the west. The veins of these two mountains extend southward to the sea. For example, a door binds the nozzle, just like a half-open door, so it is also called yamen.

The Battle of Yashan is directly related to the survival of the Southern Song Dynasty, so it is also the decisive battle of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. At the end of the war, the Yuan army was outnumbered, and Song Jun was wiped out. When the Southern Song Dynasty destroyed the country, Lu Xiufu threw himself into the sea behind his little emperor Zhao Min, followed by many loyal ministers, and hundreds of soldiers and civilians jumped into the sea to die.

After this campaign, the downfall of Zhao and Song Dynasties also meant the complete extinction of the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Mongolian Yuan finally unified all China. China was conquered by the northern nomads for the first time. Some people think that this naval battle marks the decline of Chinese civilization in the classical sense, and put forward the view that "there is no China after the cliff mountain".
