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.
開遲依舊占芳辰,不怕群花笑後陳。 四月明朝纔是夏,千葩夭艷尚含春。 傳聞勝賞聯樞節,總有新詩泣鬼神。 三十年前舊交友,白頭誰復嘆如新。
鶗鴂一聲春已歸,蝶蜂無計戀花時。 筆頭挽得春光住,卻是先生芍藥詩。
