Wen Tianxiang is a great poet, so what is the style of Wen Tianxiang's works?

For the first time, Wen Tianxiang's literary works closely combined the fate of the country and the fate of the individual, expressing his feelings for the motherland. Because most of his literary works record many historical facts of the Mongolian and Southern Song wars, people also call all Wen Tianxiang's works his personal struggle history of adhering to the spirit of patriotism. In fact, the style of Wen Tianxiang's works can be divided into two periods, both of which are closely related to his background.

First, Wen Tianxiang's early style was positive.

In Wen Tianxiang's early works, the main reason is that his lofty words and ambitions are evaporating, which is inseparable from Wen Tianxiang's living environment and personal mentality at that time. Wen Tianxiang's grievances in the early stage were not as fierce as those in the later stage, and the crisis of home and country in the Southern Song Dynasty just began. Wen Tianxiang has strong confidence in resisting foreign invasion and unifying the whole country. His mind went to the battlefield to kill the enemy and restore the great ambition of the Central Plains. Therefore, in Wen Tianxiang's early works, he was full of great enthusiasm for being positive and struggling bravely.

Some scholars believe that Wen Tianxiang's early works are far less profound in ideology and artistic attainments than his later works. However, it is the positive state in the early stage that precipitated Wen Tianxiang's pessimistic feelings about his home country in the later stage, and also precipitated his extremely high level of artistic appreciation and literary creation in the later stage. Wen Tianxiang is positive and optimistic about ending the state of war at an early date. He firmly believes that the country he loves will protect himself and all the people.

Second, Wen Tianxiang's style of grief and indignation in his later period.

Wen Tianxiang's later works were mainly created in the period when the Southern Song Dynasty was defeated one after another and the people all over the country were devastated and trampled by the Mongolian army. At this time, Wen Tianxiang was in danger of being captured by the enemy, but he remained loyal to the Southern Song Dynasty, his country and his people. In his poems, he also recorded the process of his capture. Although he was in a very difficult situation, he never forgot to fight with the enemy and never gave in easily. After being captured, he led a hard life, but he still missed his country and people. At this time, his works are full of grief and indignation, and the expression of feelings is also extremely strong. Wen Tianxiang prefers to express his firm patriotic spirit and loyal national integrity rather than complaining about suffering blindly.
