Lu You was a great patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. He cared about the country and the people all his life, wrote a lot of patriotic poems, mercilessly exposed the darkness and corruption in the Southern Song Dynasty with his own pen, and showed great patriotism. However, due to the limitations of the poet's era and class, his poems are inevitably mixed with suppressed sentimentality and a little helplessness.
Lu's poems inherited the patriotic tradition of Qu Yuan and Du Fu, showing the lofty ideological realm of "worrying about the world first and worrying about the people".
