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.
廢興生死妄安名,山水何曾改舊清。 孰謂堂空人已往,溪聲還作讀書聲。
偶對叢條巧櫛成,動摇徐步寂無聲。 仙花不識興亡事,豈學吳宮響屧行。
綠柳含烟烟不消,紅花噴火火無燒。 如何焦却婆婆餠,每到春風舌苦饒。
