Abstract: Xin Qiji embodied the unique duality of his identity as a literati and a scholar official,” allowing it to express both his pursuit of political values in the social realm and his personal experience in realistic situations. This distinctive style combines elements of restraint and unhibited expressioncoexist, showcasing the diversity of Xin Qiji's literati identity. His ci-poetry holds significant textual importance in the history of literati ci-poetry. By upholding the tradition of “writing ci-poetry according to sound” while expanding the artistic capacity and lyrical function of ci-poetry, Xin Qiji surpassed the stylistic boundaries between poetry and ci-poetry. Through the skillful utilization of traditional artistic techniques, he established the literary status of ci-poetry as a language based art form. Additionally, Xin Qiji effectively reconciled the musical and literary aspects of ci-poetry, resolving the challenge of using the conventional ci-poetry form to express the novel content of “ambition.” This accomplishment greatly influences the development of literati ci poetry. Xin Qiji's ci-poetry not only serves as a literary representation of the historical, social and cultural dynamics between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty but also enriches the possibilities for the pluralistic characteristics of the literary essence of ci-poetry.
