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.
水村月淡云低。 为爱寒香晚吹。 瘦马立多时。 是谁家、茅舍竹篱。 三三两两芳蕤。 未放琼铺雪堆。 只这一些儿。 胜东风、千枝万枝。
