Detailed explanation-1: -Chinese trade during the Song dynasty was most strongly influenced by the invention of the magnetic compass. The magnetic compass allowed the Chinese to expand their trading routes further into the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf than had ever been possible before.
Detailed explanation-2: -The peace that the Tang and Song governments created encouraged trade throughout the empire and abroad through the Silk Roads. Chinese cities during the Tang and Song dynasties became prosperous cultural centers of an international age where religious, academic, and artistic life and cultural exchange flourished.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Song set up supervised markets along the border to encourage this trade. Chinese goods that flowed north in large quantities included tea, silk, copper coins (widely used as a currency outside of China), paper and printed books, porcelain, lacquerware, jewelry, rice and other grains, ginger and other spices.
