Abstract: Song Lin’s poems developed a crystally clear and subtle style. More than that, he preferred to use scenes and metaphors of fluent water. Maditating in the same way as Heraclitos and Confucius rendered Song’s poems a strong philosophic flavour and a musing style. Brooding over the existing timeliness once became the daily assigment of this “fox of philosophy”. This lyric Naxian once again gazed at the inverted reflection of himself. But this time it was no longer only a self-loving fable also a historical one that was concerned with a culture.

Key words: Song Lin, poems, Naxian, lyricism
