They all had their capital at Kaifeng in Henan province. The southern regions experienced more prosperity and peace than the north and subsequently literature, painting, metalwork, relief sculpture, textiles, and ceramics all flourished in the south. It was also an important transitional period for ceramics in the northern areas; prosperous ding kilns were located in Hebei. ]]></note></mads>
