Wen Tianxiang died in the Yuan Dynasty. Why do you call him a poet and politician in the Southern Song Dynasty today?

From the historical timeline, the Yuan Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty coexisted. The official demise of the Southern Song Dynasty is usually regarded as the defeat of the Southern Song army in the sea battle of Yashan, and Lu Xiufu and the young emperor jumped into the sea. Wen Tianxiang was captured before, so it's not wrong to call him a Southern Song Dynasty man, because he died as Steven Song. Secondly, his masterpiece Zero Crossing and Ding Yang is still one of the representative poems in China's textbooks, so he can be called a poet and politician.

First, the relationship between the Yuan Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty How to define the origin of Wen Tianxiang?

Anyone who has studied the geography of China should know that the division between north and south is often based on the Jianghuai area. After Kublai Khan ascended the throne of Khan, the Yuan Dynasty was formally established. At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty court was still one-sided in Jiangnan. Wen Tianxiang in this period, according to contemporary discourse, was registered in the Southern Song Dynasty and was born in the Southern Song Dynasty. So according to his ancestral home, he is from the Southern Song Dynasty, which is no problem.

Second, Wen Tianxiang's civil service was established in the Southern Song Dynasty.

We say that Wen Tianxiang was one of the three outstanding figures in the late Song Dynasty, and he really lived in the left prime minister and was banned by lord protector. He was unwilling to take refuge in the Yuan court until his death, so he was a civil servant in the Southern Song Dynasty. After the failure of surrender, Yuan Ting finally executed him because he refused to take refuge. As a loyal minister, he wouldn't want future generations to think that he was from the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, he was an official politician of the Southern Song Dynasty recognized by the Southern Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty.

Third, most scholars in Song Dynasty were gifted scholars.

Scholars in Song Dynasty were good at poems and songs, and many of them were politicians, scholars, scholars and commanders, such as Su Shi, Su Xun and Shen Kuo. Therefore, for the sake of official career, literati must learn to be in politics. Although the way of poetry is not mandatory, it will certainly be involved, but at different levels. Therefore, even a military commander like Yue Fei can write a poem "Man Jiang Hong", so there is naturally no conflict between politics and poetry.

So, to sum up, Wen Tianxiang's two identities cannot be described too much. However, during the Mongolian rule at that time, there were indeed many northern Han people who recognized the legitimacy of the Yuan Dynasty. So this group of people, in turn, will be called Yuan Dynasty people, such as Zhang Hongfan, the general who destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty. After he defeated the last elite of the Southern Song Dynasty in Yashan, the Southern Song Dynasty vanished, and the Song people became inferior Han Chinese and were enslaved by the Yuan Empire established by the Mongols.
