What was the relationship between Yang Wanli and Fan Chengda in the Southern Song Dynasty?

Yang Wanli was a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was deeply influenced by Neo-Confucianism since he was a child, so he was very concerned about morality and the affairs of the court at that time. He was dissatisfied with the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty and the lack of ambition in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was reflected in his poems. But unlike the patriotic poet Lu You, Yang Wanli's main poems mainly praise natural scenery and daily life. Although he is a Neo-Confucianism scholar, unlike those rigid students later, he has his own views on ordinary things in life, so his poems often have a strong flavor of life and reveal a trace of interest in plain.

Yang Wanli's poetry creation is rich in his life, which has gone through several stages and imitated many ancestors. Later, he gradually formed his own unique style and played freely, but it also led to many of his poems that could not stand reading except a few excellent ones.

Fan Chengda was also a famous poet at that time. He has traveled widely and experienced a lot in his life, and his poems reflect a wide range of real life contents, but the most valuable ones are Jin Jixing's Travel Notes of the State of Jin and his later pastoral poems. The former describes what he saw and felt when he went to the State of Jin, mainly describing the grief of broken mountains and rivers and the desire of the people in the Central Plains to recover their homeland, and also expressing Fan Chengda's determination to serve the country with his death. The latter was mainly created during the ten years when he retired to the countryside, which truly reflected the living conditions of ordinary people at that time and was full of local interest.
