Features: The early Song Ci poetry inherited the elegant and sentimental style of the Late Tang and Five Dynasties, lingering between the sorrows of parting lovers. Early poets like Yan Shu and Ouyang Xiu still followed the path of the Southern Tang poets, with limited innovative awareness. The emergence of Liu Yong expanded the themes of Song Ci, enriched its content, and diversified its forms. From then on, Song Ci began to showcase its unique style, breaking free from the constraints of late Tang and Five Dynasties' erotic themes, and radiating boundless vitality and brilliance. Su Shi further sang with a bold voice, soaring thoughts, and passionate emotions, establishing a bold and unrestrained style alongside the elegant, adding to the charm of Song Ci and enriching its stylistic diversity.
