Fan Chengda's poetic achievements
Among Fan Chengda's poems, Jin Jixing's poems and pastoral poems are the most valuable. He wrote 72 quatrains on his way to Jin Dynasty, which recorded his experiences and feelings in the occupied areas. The main content was to describe the scene of broken mountains and rivers in the occupied areas, the situation of the people in the Central Plains being ravaged and looking forward to recovery, and to express his determination to die for the country by hanging on the remains of ancient patriots.
such as Qingyuan Store, Zhouqiao and Shuangmiao reflect the painful life of the people in the north and their national feelings. Most of the poems written by poets in the Southern Song Dynasty described the Central Plains out of imagination, but Fan Chengda personally visited the Central Plains, so his feelings were particularly profound and his descriptions were particularly vivid, which made him unique among patriotic poems at that time.
