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.
緩步荒郊外,杖藜看耨鋤。 蓑衣蒙短褐,野飯摘殘蔬。 雨過苗花濕,雲深草樹疏。 敲門無犬吠,何處覓樵漁。
霞晚臨江岸,雲深不見星。 鳥棲沙篆暗,山遠暮鐘鳴。 燃火移村色,號風晚度聲。 船窗迷漏鼓,獨立向天明。
