We know that a one-dimensional (1D) modulated system can simulate 2D topological states by expanding the dimension. This scenario provides a justifiable avenue to test the dilatation of the dynamical quantum phase transition (DQPT). Through a generalized Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, we have shown how the Loschmidt echo, Fisher zero, and Dynamical topological order parameter (DTOP) transit from one to two dimensions. Owing to the introduced pseudomomentum, the derivative of the return rate does not always capture the DQPT well, but the Fisher zero and the DTOP can be treated as faithful indicators. A topology-independent parameter will also affect the occurrence of the DQPTs for quenches inside a given phase. Moreover, a comparison with the Haldane model owning the same phase diagram implies that a pair of fixed points will lead to different critical momentum distributions, thus different robustness, further reminding us that the correspondences between the equilibrium and dynamical phases transitions are multifarious.
