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.
嶽麓長雲合,湘江暮靄收。 鴻鳴沙渚夜,葉脫洞庭秋。 霜竹千業密,風弦一曲愁。 獨醒人不見,西岸水悠悠。
玉爐香斷瑞煙微,小院陰岑夾幕垂。 一枕清風人寂後,半窗明月酒醒時。 漆園蝴蜨難成夢,巫峽行雲想有期。 欲曙凄凉精氣爽,漏殘燈燼畫屏欹。
