Lv Liuliang, an important survivor scholar living at the turn of Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, left abundant poems with rich content and of great value, on which there were few studies. The thesis aimed at contributing what was within me to the studies by thoroughly analyzing his poems. After the analysis into Lv's life history and works, the author held the opinion that survivor sentiments were one of the most important clues that ran through all his works.The thesis, by first going into Lv's identity as a survivor, analyzed his survivor sentiments, which basically were represented in two different ways:one was that defensive line between Huaxia nationality and the minorities should be strictly and the other one was that principles should be obeyed whether when serving as an official or a civilian.Deeply influenced by the survivor sentiments, Lv's poetry presented great uniqueness. First of all, he was a common survivor and missing his homeland was the theme of greatest important in his poetry. Among his works, he used many images, such as chrysanthemum and sunset to implicitly express the long for his country. Meanwhile, he was also a survivor whose homeland was exterminated by an alien race, which enabled him to remember being defensive of alien races for his whole life. He delicately blended such kind of thought into his works, which, in this way, were endowed with important significance beyond the works themselves. However, as time went on, history was ruthless and hope for reviving his homeland was becoming more and more dim and remote. Tortured by great difference between the ideality and reality, Lv sank into identity trouble. He showed great loyalty to Ming Dynasty, yet took imperial examinations in Qing Dyanasty. His poetry truly reflected innermost entanglement and complicated feelings.After going through the pain of his homeland perishing, his feelings were dignified and complex, which brought remaining influence of poems in Song Dynasty. He, due to special preference to poems in Song Dynasty, may take over the previous poetry or learn from their artistic conception. He devoted himself to promoting poetry in Song Dynasty and earned the position of pioneers among the school who encouraged poetry of Song Dynasty. The reason for that lied in his great obsession with survivor sentiments.
