Xin Qiji (1140~1207), literary name Jiaxuan, courtesy name You'an, was a Chinese poet and master soldier whose ci (poems written to existing musical patterns) are considered by many critics to be the best of the Southern Song Dynasty(1127~1279).

辛弃疾(1140~1207)，字幼安，号稼轩，诗人、宋词大师。许多评论家认为辛弃疾的词是南宋(1127~1279 )最好的词。

经历了将近20年的戎马生活之后，辛弃疾最后引退到美丽的上饶的一个安静的地方，读书写词度日。

His 623 carefully crafted ci are important for their controlled experimentation with, and expansion of, the existing ci form; he added to it an emotional depth untapped until that time and widely imitated afterward.

他的词为其带来了持久的名望，他的623首精心写就的词对原来存在的词的形式做了有意的试验和扩展，这就使其在文坛占有一席之地。他给词融入了浓厚的感情色彩，开了词坛先例，受到后人的普遍模仿。
