Features: Song poetry anthologies have continuously appeared since the Song Dynasty, just like Tang poetry anthologies, and it is difficult to keep track of them. These anthologies may select a specific school, period, poet, or cater to different audiences, each with its own arrangement. On the other hand, "poetry-inspired paintings" that use song poetry as their subject matter have also emerged in large numbers. Many works by renowned poets such as Liu Yong, Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi, Li Qingzhao, and Xin Qiji have been chosen by painters as inspiration for "poetry-inspired paintings." The interactive form of poetry and painting has significantly enhanced the influence of both. The poetry has gained wings, and the painting has expanded its themes. This is an excellent form of disseminating the essence of traditional culture. This book comprehensively collects the works of 40 Song Dynasty poets and the corresponding "poetry-inspired paintings" created based on them, selecting 100 outstanding poems and artworks from the "Complete Song Lyrics" published by Zhonghua Book Company. When the "Tang Poetry" was published, Zhonghua Book Company had already decided to publish this "Song Poetry."
