Yuan Haowen's poems are second to none in modern poetry.

Yuan Haowen wrote more than 1,400 poems, and his works were second to none in the Jin Dynasty, with the most outstanding achievements.

Yuan Haowen was the most important poet in Jin Dynasty and an outstanding poetry theorist.

Yuan Haowen's poems are superior to those before and after Jin's death. "The unfortunate poets of the country are lucky. They have been endowed with vicissitudes." (Zhao Yi's Collection of Mountain Monuments) Stimulated by these great changes, such as the destruction of the country and the capture by the enemy, the poet wrote a series of vigorous and tragic poems about discipline and disorder (Hao Jing's Epitaph of Mr. Yishan) with his artistic endowment of "holding the spirit of seclusion and looking up to life".

One of the characteristics of Yuan Haowen's Ji Luanshi is that he does not blindly lament the reality of the country's demise and people's suffering, but expresses his tragic and generous feelings in a broad artistic conception.
