It is understood that Zong Ze was born in one of the most ordinary working families in the mainland at that time, although life was relatively ordinary, but the family had a tradition of "cultivating and reading heirlooms", and his father was also a well-known local rural intellectual, so after Zong Ze was busy with farm work, she gathered around her father to learn culture and increase knowledge. The young Zong Ze was diligent and easy to read, and accumulated a lot of knowledge after years of hard study, he was not only a great military figure in the history of the mainland, but also a poet who was able to write poems with a lofty patriotic spirit, which can be seen that this is not unrelated to the solid cultural foundation laid in childhood.
We are more familiar with another national hero, Yue Fei, and we must know that Zong Ze is Yue Fei's mentor and the person he respects the most. Enze promoted Yue Fei and trusted him greatly. It is said that after Zong Ze's death, it was his son and Yue Fei who jointly helped the coffin to his hometown for burial. Later, yue Fei built a memorial hall for him in order to commemorate his mentor to show his nostalgia for him. In addition to being Yue Fei's mentor, in history, if Zong Ze is mentioned, several key words must be mentioned: patriotism, anti-gold heroes, etc. He is dedicated to the country, but his ambition is difficult to reward, and his anger becomes a disease, until the last moment of his life, he still does not forget the security of the country, and such a resolute determination is worthy of admiration.
Zong Ze has great ambitions, which must be traced back to the environment in which he grew up. During Zong Ze's growth, he witnessed the corruption of the government and the opposition, and saw foreign troubles coming, and since then he has had a lofty ambition to save the country and save the people. Later, he participated in scientific expeditions into the political arena, resolutely innovated, and strove to eradicate the evil forces. During his decades as an official, he worked hard to benefit one side. Due to the rise of the Jin State in the north, Cizhou was ravaged by the Jin State, and Zong Ze took office to prepare for the Jin Dynasty.
Major events such as guarding Kaifeng and defending Tokyo became the most dazzling feats of Zongze's life, and his daimyo was even more powerful to the enemy country. It is said that at that time, the Jin people were particularly afraid of Zong Ze and called him "Zong Grandpa", which showed its deterrent power at that time. Although Zong Ze failed to realize the grand vision of restoring the unification of the Great Song Dynasty, his great righteousness was awe-inspiring, defending half of the dynasty, and his meritorious deeds were outstanding, and such integrity and noble patriotic feelings are worth remembering for future generations.
According to records, his surviving poems are more than thirty, although the theme is not rich, but it reflects a unique style and characteristics. Yong Huai poems, Zong Ze expresses his lofty ambitions, the content is mainly based on facts, but also the thinking of the course of life, integrating his feelings into every word of the poem, the poet is cathartic, but also the comfort of the soul. In addition, because Zong Ze actively wrote, it is said that there were more than 20 pieces of music before and after, but he did not get attention, so he used Yong Huai poems to express his sense of helplessness. In addition, Yong Huai's poems have other functions, such as: worrying about the fate of the country; expressing resentment against treacherous villains; eternal faith in serving the imperial court, and so on.

Overall, Zong ze's poems have neat confrontations and use vocabulary properly. The anthropomorphic rhetorical method is skillful, making the content come alive and vivid, setting off the vibrant heart of the world. The use of contrast to illustrate the reasoning can also reflect that Zong Ze is a doer, not an empty talker.
