Study Of Guangling Ci Tan Under The Guidance Of Wang Shizhen

The Guangling Ci Tan, under the guidance of Wang Shizhen, is a key regional center of Ci composition in the process of Ci Prosperity in Qing Dynasty. By analyzing this well-known regional center of Ci composition, the original forms of Ci Selection and Ci Responsory Activity can be shown. At the same time, we can not only make it clear that how the Yunjian Ci writing style was broken, but also what kind of preparation's work can be valued in Jiangnan(lower reaches of Yangzi river) Ci Tan for the emergence of Yangxian Ci School and Zhexi Ci School.There are four chapters in this dissertation.The difference of concepts between Guangling Ci Tan and Guangling Ci-Poet Group is a main topic of the first chapter. I also make it clear that the period of this research is from 1660 to 1677. In the end of this chapter, what is explained is that there are three things dedicated to the formation of Guangling Ci Tan, which include of the leader characteristic of Wang Shizhen, the Ci writing's tradition in Yangzhou and the very unique political circumstance.Yi Sheng Chu Ji and Guo Chao Ming Jia Shi Yu are two Ci selections in Guangling Ci Tan, but there still are several questions keeping unclear in these two books' selection and edition. Therefore, in the second chapter I try to answer such questions as how many editions there is, what they are separately and what the possible editing periods of them are. Ci Criticism of Guangling Ci Tan can be summarized as Zun Ti(respecting genre) and Tong Bian Guan(flexible opinion). In addition, by comparing those comments in these two books, we also can find some new dynamics in the late Guangling Ci Tan.The third chapter focuses on those Responsorial Activities organized by Wang Shizhen, which should be paid more attention from the angle of text analysis and literary techniques. Compared with Responsorial Ci of Yunjian Ci School, Ci composition of Guangling Ci Tan cares more for contents and tune forms.In the fourth chapter, I selected three Ci Poets who are Wang Shizhen, Zou Zhimo and Peng Sunyu. I also try to solve several problems about the editing of their Ci Collections. Furthermore, it can also be shown for Ci composition styles and Ci Criticism of Guangling Ci Tan by these three case studies.The dissertation's ending part is just a sketch and outline for further study. Chen Weisong, who is the inaugurator and leader of Yangxian Ci School, almost joined all those Responsorial Activities held in Yangzhou. So how he imitated and learned from others is worth observing systematically. Two appendixes are main data of this dissertation, and hopefully can be helpful for those researchers who are interested in this field.
