Song poetry inherited the Tang tradition while innovating, featuring great poets like Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Lu You, and Yang Wanli, forming a unique Song poetry style known for its philosophical depth.
茲地舟行數,懷人思惘然。 盈川經此日,流水自唐年。 廢邑叢春草,荒山入暮烟。 昔賢不可作,開笥讀遺編。
青草湖頭合,舟行向晚天。 疏燈孤枕宿,細雨片帆懸。 雁下平沙荻,猿啼獨樹烟。 風塵隨去住,鄉思倍淒然。
