First, the impact on feudal families. Li Qingzhao once wrote a poem about "hot people but cold hearts", boldly using Yang Guozhong as a metaphor. She completely ignored the family hierarchy concept of superiority and inferiority, and made sharp satire on her father-in-law Zhao Tingzhi, showing her independent personality. Secondly, she cares about national affairs. After crossing to the south, Li Qingzhao faced the occupied northern hometown. His sorrow and anger could not be calmed down. He was even more angry at the weakness, fear and humiliation of the Southern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers. At this time, her famous line "The southern industry still feels the Wujiang chanting, the northern hunting should know the Yi Shuihan", which fully reflects the author's self-improvement character who is unwilling to lag behind and is unwilling to stay in her boudoir. She can be said to be a "Mulan".

In addition, she also dared to criticize male authority. She did not follow others blindly, but she was confident in her own talents and firm in her position. As a "close friend", she pointed out the shortcomings of Su Shi, Qin Guan, Huang Tingjian, Wang Anshi and other sixteen people. We know that Su, Qin, Huang, Wang, etc. were well-known figures in the society at that time, but Li Qingzhao was just an unknown person at the time, but he was able to boldly put forward his own opinions and express his own remarks. . ”

Instead, she freely expressed her own opinions without fear of oppression by dark forces. , never retreating, never compromising, constantly improving, relying on his own wisdom, talent, courage and confidence to talk about the past and the present, and he is worthy of being a heroine of the times. Her dissatisfaction with her father-in-law reflected her dissatisfaction with the feudal family hierarchy; her concern for state affairs changed the previous concept of women "only serving their father and husband" and set a precedent for women to care about state affairs; she criticized male authority. , which is essentially a serious dissatisfaction with the patriarchy of feudal society. It can be said that Li Qingzhao's character also created her rebellious sexual characteristics.

Li Qingzhao lived in a patriarchal feudal society. The strong literary atmosphere of her family laid the foundation for her literary creation; her parents’ loose and liberal upbringing made her unique ("Zhong" refers to the vast feudal society). The independent, self-reliant and confident rebellious character of women); the happy and happy marriage with Zhao Mingcheng provided the possibility for her literary achievements and paved the way for the formation of her graceful style of poetry; the miserable life of her later journey to the south made her The writing style has a slightly handsome and cheerful masculine flavor.

Throughout her life, she made immeasurable contributions: she set an example for women in Chinese feudal society to live a normal life with the same independence as men, and her rebellious personality became a shining example; for the first time, she A female poet's deep and moving lyrical singing has occupied a lofty artistic status. Her lyrics are unique and unconventional. It can be said that no woman at that time can compare with her, and even authoritative men have to take three steps back.

Of course, Li Qingzhao’s contribution goes beyond these. He is “good at winning ancient prose, poetry, and short poems, which is difficult even for the Qin and Huang generations.”
