Song Dynasty is a country of poetry. Song poetry is a huge treasure house. All aspects of knowledge are very rich. But this treasure house, our cognitive development is very little. Song poetry is the continuation, development and breakthrough of Tang poetry. There were more poets and more poems in Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty enriched the types and forms of poetry. The number of Song poetry creations is unprecedented. Peking University is compiling The Complete Poems of Song Dynasty. According to preliminary statistics, there are no fewer than 9,000 authors, four times as many as the whole Tang poetry. The Collection of Song Ci has more than 1,300 people and nearly 20,000 chapters. Confucius added hundreds of poets and wrote more than 400 poems in Complete Song Poetry Supplement.
Lu You, a prolific poet in the Song Dynasty, claimed to be "10,000 poems in 60 years". Lu You now has more than 9,300 poems. Yang Wanli wrote more than 20,000 songs. But now there is only a small part left. You Mao, one of the four masters in the Southern Song Dynasty, left even fewer poems. So many great poets have written so many poems that more of us can only have a chance to read a few of their poems. It can be said that we haven't even touched the fur, let alone experienced their fine bones. Song poetry reflects the expansion of social horizons and the deepening of efforts to cut into life. The climate and atmosphere of Song and Tang are different, and the poet is brave in innovation, thus forming a "Song tune" which is completely different from "Tang Yin". As a new type of symphonic poem, Song Ci can not only be recited on the desk of literati, but also spread to the voice of musicians, which enhances its entertainment and communication, and has a large audience.
