Song Ci is an important part of ancient Chinese literature, known alongside Tang poetry as the "twin peaks". Ci originated in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty, featuring masters like Su Shi, Xin Qiji, and Li Qingzhao.
君家诸子燕山盛。 去年两见门弧庆。 银蜡烧花,宝香熏烬。 晬盘珠玉还相映。 耳边好语凭君听。 此儿不与群儿并。 右执金戈,左持金印。 功名当似王文正。
