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 funeral poems have two characteristics: first, they truly reflect the social reality that the Jin Dynasty was destroyed and the people were smeared with charcoal, among which his famous Three Poems of Qiyang is the representative work. Truth is the most important feature of Yuan Haowen's funeral poems. The second is historical reflection. Yuan Haowen's funeral poems include his historical examination and evaluation of the funeral facts, thus increasing the depth of his thoughts.
His landscape poems are magnificent, and the images are magnificent, but they are not rude and extravagant. Poems such as "Yong Jin Ting Showing the Kings Traveling Together" and "Traveling to Huangshan Mountain" embody this feature.
