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.
水滿牛耕犢後隨,早田大半已翻犁。 趁時浸穀清明近,次第秧針綠又齊。
經行阡陌日遲遲,桑柘纔方吐綠枝。 只爲峭寒交節晚,村家却是拂蠶時。
霜林紅葉趁桐花,路轉崖根百尺斜。 霽日斷雲成徙倚,湘南秋盡未還家。
