The Treaty of Chanyuan

In 1005, the Song dynasty and the Liao empire made peace at Chanyuan. Song agreed to send Liao 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 bolts of silk every year. The two states called each other brothers, the Liao emperor addressing the Song emperor as his elder brother. The peace lasted more than a century.
