Xin Qiji's life can be said to be very bumpy, but his patriotic belief has never wavered. From his poems, we can understand that "when you are drunk, you will see the sword, and when you dream, you will blow the horn and even camp." This also gives us an inspiration that we can't be discouraged.
Xin Qiji devoted his life to recovery and self-praise, but his fate was ill-fated, he was excluded and his ambition was hard to pay. However, his patriotic belief in restoring the Central Plains has never wavered, and his passion, concern and anxiety about the rise and fall of the country and the fate of the nation are all contained in his poems.
The artistic styles of Xin Ci are diverse, mainly bold and unconstrained, with thick and heroic styles, but there is no lack of delicacy and softness. His ci has a wide range of themes, expressing patriotic enthusiasm for restoring national unity with allusions, pouring out grief and indignation, and condemning the humiliation and peace of the rulers at that time. There are also many works that praise the rivers and mountains of the motherland. There are more than 600 words, including Jia Ji and Short Sentences, which have been handed down from generation to generation.

He is the author of "Ten Theories on Meiqin" and "Nine Theories", which provided strategies for Chen Zhanshou. Because of disagreement with the ruling pacifists, he was impeached and resigned, living in seclusion in the mountains. Before and after the Northern Expedition, Kathy successively served as the magistrate of Shaoxing, the magistrate of Zhenjiang, and the magistrate of maize.

Historical evaluation
Liu Kezhuang's Preface to the Collection of Xinjiaxuan said: "The government affairs are big but (tāng tà) small and (kēng hūng) big, crossing Liuhe, sweeping through the ages, which has never been seen since the beginning of the world. The secret person is not under Xiaoyan and Qin Lang. "
Liu Chenweng's Preface to Xinjiaxuan said: "Since Xinjiaxuan, if you use such a word, you must keep your mouth shut. The rotten Jiaxuan is like a mord. Another example is that I am full of sorrow, depressed all my life, and drunk as a fiddler, but I feel that the host and the guest are hearty and can't talk properly. At this point, words are enough. "
Later generations said: Jia Xuan is the crown among people and the dragon in words.
Dragons in the world
Xin Qiji is good at poetry, but he is famous for his words. His "Jia" collected more than 620 songs, which was the highest in both quantity and quality in the Song Dynasty. It is an outstanding person, and the word is dragon.
Jia Xuan's ci has always been called "heroic ci". These words mainly show the poet's lofty aspirations and lofty sentiments of taking himself as a hero and restoring the Central Plains as his own responsibility. He often recalls the heroic deeds of a teenager who broke into the Golden Camp and captured the traitor Zhang Anguo alive. For example, in "Partridge Sky", it is said that "in the prime of life, colorful flags fly to thousands of people, and Jin Qi crosses the river at the beginning. Yan Bing is full of silver at night, and Han Jian flies to the golden servant. " Xin Qiji also showed his grief and indignation that his ambition was hard to be rewarded and he had no way to serve the country. For example, the first part of "Water Dragon Hidden in the Health Pavilion" said: "In Chutianqing Swing, the water follows the autumn. Seeing the mountains in the distance will only cause me sadness and resentment at the end of the country. These mountains are like a hairpin and a spiral coil on a woman's head. The sun in the west leans against this floor, and geese are barking in the distant sky. I am wandering in the south of the Yangtze River, homesick for a wanderer. I look at this precious sword, I hold the railing upstairs, and no one understands the mind I am building now. By looking at Wu Gou's sword and patting all over the railing, this poem vividly shows the hero's grief and anger. Xin Qiji's "rhetoric" is mostly inspired by anger, with tragic passion and gloomy style.
In addition, Xin Qiji also wrote some words describing rural scenery and pastoral taste: "Qingpingle village residence", "low grass eaves, green grass on the stream. Drunk Wu local drunk, gentle voice, white-haired old man who is it? The eldest son is weeding in the bean field on the east side of the stream, and the second son is busy knitting chicken cages. I like children and scoundrels best, lying on the head of the stream peeling lotus flowers. There are also elegant and profound works in Xin Qiji's ci. For example, "Jade case. Yuanxiao, the first part tells about the joyful scene of Yuanxiao night, and the next part tells about an extraordinary woman who lives in a secluded place: "The moths and willows become golden wisps, and the laughter is faint. "Looking for him in the crowd; Suddenly looking back, the man was there, dimly lit. In fact, it shows the poet's feelings of "self-pity and self-pity".
Xin Qiji, with his unique heroic spirit and lofty sentiments, tried his best to convey his feelings with words, greatly expanding the scope of the subject matter of words, forming a gloomy and magnificent main style with a graceful, profound, fresh and simple style. It can be said that a hundred schools of thought contend and are free and colorful.
