Xin Qiji 辛弃疾

辛弃疾（1140-1207）南宋词人。原字坦夫，改字幼安，别号稼轩，历城（今山东济南）人。出生时，中原已为金兵所占。一生力主抗金。曾上《美芹十论》与《九议》，条陈战守之策，显示其卓越军事才能与爱国热忱。其词抒写力图恢复国家统一的爱国热情，倾诉壮志难酬的悲愤，对当时执政者的屈辱求和颇多谴责；也有不少吟咏祖国河山的作品。题材广阔又善化用前人典故入词，风格沉雄豪迈又不乏细腻柔媚之处。作品集有《稼轩长短句》，今人辑有《辛稼轩诗文钞存》。
Xin Qiji (1140-1207), had the courtesy name of Tanfu that was later changed to You'an, along with the pseudonym Jiaxuan, and was from Licheng (now Jinan of Shandong province). He was a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty. At the time when he was born, the Zhongyuan Area (central plains, comprising the middle and lower reaches of the Huanghe River) was occupied by the Jin (Jurchen). So he advocated for anti-Jin battles throughout his life. He wrote the Meiqin Shilun (Ten Humble Arguments) and Jiu Yi (Nine Arguments), stating strategies for defense and offense, which demonstrated his outstanding military ability and patriotic feelings. His works were full of the enthusiasm for reunifying the country, the anger for all the difficulty in fulfilling great aspirations, and criticizing the imperial officials for their humbleness. There were also works praising the rivers and mountains of the country. Subject matters were extensive in his works, which frequently cited the anecdotes of the ancestors, with their style being steady and powerful but at the same time delicate and gentle. His collected works include Jiaxuan changduanju (Lyrics of Jiaxuan) and the Xin Jiaxuan Shiwen Chaocun(Treasure Writings of Xin Jiaxuan) compiled by contemporary editors.
