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.
不識煩惱是菩提,若隨煩惱是愚癡。 起滅之時須要會,鷂過新羅人不知。
不識煩惱是菩提,凈華生淤泥。 人來問我若何爲,喫粥喫飯了洗鉢盂。
莫管他,莫管他,終日癡憨筭海沙。 要識本來真面目,便是祖師一木叉。
