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.
侍宴黄昏未肯休,玉階夜色月如流。 朝來自覺承恩最,笑倩傍人認繡毬。
隋家宮殿鎖清秋,曾晚嬋娟颺繡毬。 金钥玉簫俱寂寂,一天明月照高樓。
堪恨隋家幾帝王,舞腰緩盡繡鴛鴦。 如今重到拋毬處,不見熏爐舊日香。
