About This Novel
The era Xin Qiji lived in was a tragic era, and his life was also tragic. After Xin Qiji returned to the south, his ambition of recovery was impossible to realize, and his ideals and reality were in conflict. He entered and exited with twists and turns, and his mentality also changed accordingly. He wrote poems, which may mean "setting sun, smokey willows", or "straight to grab Cao Tun and Liu". They are vigorous and sparse, but also profound and graceful, showing a deep sense of worry and responsibility for the future and destiny of the country and nation. Therefore, although his lyrics were learned from Wu and Cai, and inherited from Su Shi, he was able to combine hardness and softness, and created his own high style. He occupies an important position in the history of Chinese literature and has far-reaching influence. This book attempts to place the study of Xin Qiji in the historical background and conditions of the long-term confrontation between the Song and Jin Dynasties. By grasping his mentality after returning to the south, he enters the world of his literary creation, reveals the anxiety and sense of responsibility expressed in his lyrics, displays the majestic, profound and elegant style of his lyrics, summarizes and abstracts his stylistic concepts and aesthetic tastes, traces the artistic origins of his lyrics, and discusses his status and influence in the history of Chinese literature. In addition, this book also has a special discussion on Xin Qiji's poetry creation.
