Xin Qiji's life

Xin Qiji (1 140- 1207) was a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. The original word Tanfu was later changed to You 'an, alias Jiaxuan, Han nationality, born in Licheng (now Jinan, Shandong). At the time of birth, the Central Plains was occupied by nomadic people. 2 1 year-old joined the anti-Jin army and soon returned to the Southern Song Dynasty. He has been to Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian and eastern Zhejiang.

Xin Qiji opposed gold all his life. There are "Ten Theories on Meiqin" and "Nine Theories" on the top, and there is "Debate and Strategy" on the bottom. His lyrics expressed patriotic enthusiasm for restoring national unity, poured out his grief and indignation, and condemned the humiliation and peace of the rulers at that time. There are also many works that praise the rivers and mountains of the motherland. He has a wide range of subjects, is good at using predecessors' allusions, and has a heroic style, but there is no lack of delicacy and gentleness.

In the winter of Xichun eight years (1 18 1), when Xin Qiji was 42 years old, he was dismissed from office because of impeachment and returned to Shangrao. In the next 20 years, he spent most of his time in the countryside, except for Fujian prefect and Fujian Anfu ambassador.

Xin Qiji, as a courtier in the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote "Training Militia to Defend Huai and Shu", expressing his strong patriotic feelings, incisive and profound analysis of the war situation and distinctive and concrete countermeasures. Xin Qiji used two completely different styles to express his impassioned patriotic feelings from different sides, reflecting his lofty aspirations and lofty ideals of caring for the country and the people, and his lofty ambition of "a man who has tears does not flick, but wants to make up for the sky".

Xin Qiji was proud of his integrity, made contributions and advocated the war of resistance all his life. His Ten Essays on Meiqin and Nine Discussions show his outstanding military talent and patriotic enthusiasm, and he maintains a deep friendship with Chen Liang, a scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty, encouraging him to be honest and learn from him. Anti-gold and national rejuvenation are the main themes of his works, among which there are many laments of the lost direction of heroes and the idle resentment of the strong, which have distinct characteristics of the times.

There are many similarities between Xin Qiji and Lu You: he always takes revenge for national humiliation and regaining lost land as his lifelong career, and writes about the expectations and disappointments of the times and the enthusiasm and indignation of the nation in his literary creation. In terms of literary creation, he doesn't like writing poems like Lu You, especially the seven laws with strict format, but puts all his energy into Ci, a genre that is more suitable for expressing volatile emotions.
