Use the passage below to answer all parts of the question that follows.

Everything decayed until disorder and destruction reached its extreme in the Five Dynasties period*.
Yet Heaven’s cycle continues. The virtuous power of the Song dynasty rose up, and both government and education shone with great luster. With that, the method whereby the ancients taught men was once again made brilliantly clear to the world.”
