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.
燕坐都忘俗慮縈,小橋橫截跨幽亭。 漣漪池面銀開鑒,篠蕩庭心玉展屏。 桃李並蹊春競麗,檜松分徑歲長青。 我來每覺塵心豁,客至還同醉眼醒。
爲愛青青竹一林,旋開庭宇占清陰。 風前蕭瑟聲敲五,月下玲瓏影碎金。
