Fan Chengda was a Song Dynasty man, he was born at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, but not long after the shame of Jing Kang occurred, the Northern Song Dynasty collapsed, the Song Dynasty royal family fled to the south, the Southern Song Dynasty was established, at this time the Chinese region was still the most powerful jinguo power, the Southern Song Dynasty could only be on the side of security, and Fan Chengda grew up in such an environment, so it can be said that Fan Chengda should be regarded as a person of the Southern Song Dynasty. At this time, because the time for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was still very short, both the people who lost their land and the people of the Southern Song Dynasty were still deeply impressed by the humiliation endured by the Song Dynasty.
But with the passage of time, the people in the south almost forgot such a shame, and the Southern Song Court at that time did not seem to want to recover the Central Plains, and felt that it was not bad to stay in the south, so for such a big environment, Fan Chengda actually had no way, very helpless, plus the Southern Song Dynasty really could not defeat the JinGuo, so there was no way, Fan Chengda was more concerned about the lives of the people, and later the official field floated for decades, but also saw through the mentality of those in power, so he put more effort into writing poetry and lyrics , to reflect the lives of the people and the darkness of the world.
It can be said that in a dynasty like the Southern Song Dynasty, Fan Chengda is sad, and his ideal of restoring the Central Plains and serving the motherland is difficult to realize, so he has to use pen and ink to describe what he sees and feels, hoping to record the misfortunes of the country and the hardships of the people in this way.

Throughout the Southern Song Dynasty, although there are many poems written about the suffering of the people in the Central Plains, most of them are imagined in the water towns of Jiangnan, and Fan Chengda has personally sent envoys to the Jinguo and seen the lives of the local people, so the poems he created have a sense of reality, such as in the poem "ZhouQiao", Fan Chengda truly reproduced what he saw and heard when he went to the Jinguo at that time. It shows that the blind father and elder of the Central Plains are still looking forward to the Southern Song Dynasty to come back and fight back the Jin soldiers, but the hope of the year is every year disappointed, it is difficult to see the messenger, can't help but lose his voice to ask when there will be a large army to come, such a situation made Fan Chengda very moved, after returning to create such a poem.
Compared with Tao Yuanming's creative style of focusing on the beautiful scenery in the countryside, Fan Chengda absorbed the advantages of his predecessors' concern for political darkness, and in the process of creating idyllic poems, he added sympathy for the people's suffering life and refutation of the dark world, such as "Unable to buy land and talk about planting water, and recently the lake has also collected rent", the words are simple and popular, but the words are all reprimands for those corrupt officials.
