Xin Qiji’s life-long ambition was to recover and he promised himself great achievements, but he had a bad fate and was ostracized, and his ambition was hard to realize. The following is an introduction to Xin Qiji of the Southern Song Dynasty that I compiled for you. I hope it will be helpful to you!
Introduction to Xin Qiji
Xin", together with Li Qingzhao, were called "Jinan Er'an". Representative works include "Yongyu Le·Reminiscing about the Past in Beiguting, Jingkou" and "Qingpingle·Village Residence", etc. Xin Qiji has more than 600 existing poems. Strong patriotism and fighting spirit are the basic ideological contents of his words. He is a great bold poet in Chinese history.
Regarding the name change, during the battle against the Jin people, Xin Qiji changed the original word "Tanfu" to "You'an" in order to imitate the Western Han Dynasty general Huo Qubing and kill the enemy bravely. Lead the soldiers to defeat the alien invasion.
When he was born, the north had already fallen into the hands of the Jin people. Although his grandfather Xin Zan served in the Jin Kingdom, he always hoped to have the opportunity to "rise up in provocations to relieve the anger of Dai Tian, ????who was not suppressed by his father." (From "Ten Essays on Meiqin"). At the same time, Xin Qiji also continued to witness with his own eyes the humiliation and pain suffered by the Han people under the rule of the Jin people. All this made him set up the ambition to restore the Central Plains and serve the country and avenge his humiliation when he was a teenager. On the other hand, because Xin Qiji grew up in the north under the rule of the Jin people, he was less exposed to traditional cultural education that made people blindly follow the rules, such as the "Four Books and Five Classics". In him, there is a kind of chivalrous spirit of Yanzhao Qishi. Xin Qiji successively served as the pacifier of Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, and eastern Zhejiang. Thirteen years before he was born, the Shandong area was occupied by Jin soldiers. At the age of 21, he joined the anti-Jin rebel army and returned to the Southern Song Dynasty soon after. In the 31st year of Shaoxing (1161), he led 2,000 people to join the Northern Anti-Jin Rebel Army, and returned to the Southern Song Dynasty the following year. Throughout his life, he firmly advocated fighting against the Jin soldiers and regaining lost ground. He once presented "Ten Essays on Meiqin" to analyze the situation between the enemy and ourselves, and put forward a specific plan for strengthening the army and restoring the country; he also submitted the "Nine Discussions" to the prime minister to further elaborate on the ideas of "Ten Essays on Meiqin", but neither was adopted or implemented. When he took office in various places, he conscientiously eliminated accumulated shortcomings and actively organized the army to prepare for war. However, he was repeatedly hampered by the capitulation faction and was even punished by dismissal. He once lived idle in Shangrao, Jiangxi for a long time. His great ambition to regain his motherland could not be put into practice, so he wrote poems out of loyalty and anger. His unique style of writing is called "Jia Xuan Style". In his later years, he was appointed as the governor of Shaoxing Prefecture, the pacifier of Zhejiang Province, and the governor of Zhenjiang Prefecture. When he took office in Zhenjiang, he paid special attention to the preparations for the Jin expedition, but he was jealous of the powerful Prime Minister Han Xianzhou and was dismissed from his post. His lifelong ambition was not fulfilled, and he finally died of sorrow and anger on October 3, 1207. It is said that when he was dying, he shouted "Kill the thieves! Kill the thieves!" ("Kangxi Jinan Mansion Chronicles·Characters"). Later, he was given the posthumous title Zhongmin as a young master.
As a master of poetry in the Southern Song Dynasty, his poems are passionate, generous and tragic. The writing is strong and the artistic styles are diverse, but the main ones are bold and unrestrained. There is "Jia Xuan Long Short Sentences". Today, there is a collection of "Xin Jiaxuan's Poems and Essays".

Former Residence and Tombs
On the banks of the Xiaoqing River in Jinan, there is a town called Yaoqiang Town, which is the hometown of Xin Qiji, the famous poet of the Song Dynasty. It was there that he stood up and rallied his troops to fight against gold. Xin Qiji is a very distinctive writer in the history of Chinese literature. He is different from ordinary literati in feudal society. He is not only a famous patriotic poet, but also an excellent patriotic general and national hero.
Xin Qiji was buried in Yongping Town, Qianshan County, Shangrao, Jiangxi Province after his death. The tomb of Xin Qiji is located on the mountainside of Yangyuan, Hutoumen, Guashan County, Qianshan County. Sit north and face south.
It was built during the Shaoding period (1228-1233). There is a golden tablet of Mr. Jiaxuan's Shinto beside the post road. The original monument was destroyed and the tomb remains in ruins. In the Qing Dynasty, the descendants of Xin Qiji erected a new stele in front of the tomb. Now it is also mottled and the handwriting is blurred. The inscription on the stele reads "Rebuilt in the Spring and Moon of the Guimao Year of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty." In the middle is the "Tomb of Jiaxuanfu Lord, the Duke of Xiangusu Kao". The descending line is "the great-great-grandson of the twenty-fifth generation established the gate of Xiaxi gate of Linghu gate of Dongshan Gurananbei gate". According to research, this was established by the descendants of Xin cabinet, Zhongzi of Xin Qiji. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xin Qiji's tomb was listed as a provincial key protected cultural relic in 1959. It was renovated twice in 1971 and 1981. The tomb is made of granite and divided into four floors, with a pile of loess on top and two rows of tomb cabinets surrounding it. The tomb is 2.5 meters high and 2.5 meters in diameter, occupying 51.5 square meters. The tomb passage is very short, and there is an elegiac couplet written and written by Guo Moruo: "Iron plate and copper lute, following Dongpo, singing loudly as the river goes eastward; beautiful celery mourns millet, and I hope not to follow the wild geese flying south in the Southern Hebei Song Dynasty."
