The main achievements of Yuan Haowen's poems lie in the ideological value of funeral poems and the aesthetic value of landscape poems. Yuan Haowen's mourning poems have two characteristics: first, they truly reflect the social reality of the demise of the Jin Dynasty and the poor life of the people, among which the famous Three Poems of Qiyang is a masterpiece. Truth is the greatest feature of Yuan Haowen's mourning poems. The second is historical reflection. Yuan Haowen's funeral poems contain his historical examination and evaluation of funeral facts, which increases the depth of his thoughts.
His landscape poems are magnificent and magnificent, but there is no disease of rudeness. Poems such as "Jin Yongting, Kings Traveling Together" and "Visiting Huangshan Mountain" reflect this feature.
