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.
東望長安山復山,數峯還出兩峯間。 攬衣來即三年戍,引客聊爲一日閑。 身似暮雲低更好,心如歸鳥倦知還。 聖朝倘得收遺物,歎息搔頭鬢已斑。
巖下碧藤掛紫烟,巖頭白石插青天。 精靈屹作鄉邦鎮,一劍霜寒二百年。
