Su Shi's Ci had occupied a pivotal position in the history of Chinese Ci, and the establishment of this status was decided by his unique style and the influence in the Ci circles of contemporary. Sushi could be regarded as the most famous people in the history of Chinese literature. The studing achievement on him was numerous and there was some famous scholars studying from the perspective of acceptance history. But until now the research on Su Shi's Ci from the real meaning of acceptance wasn't very profound. This thesis adopted the perspective of acceptance aesthetics, and concerned the propagation and acceptance of works from three aspects of author, works and readers. Taking the Yuanyou Ci circles of Northern Song Dynasty Ci as center, this thesis explored the influence of Su Shi's Ci in Yuanyou Ci circles from the school of Su Shi and someone of Yuanyou's acceptance—learning, following and criticizing. This thesis also explored that their acceptance had influence on the late acceptance of Su Shi's Ci.This thesis consisted of three main parts. The first part was the introduction which mainly narrated the acceptance theory, simply looked back the studying history of Su Shi's Ci and elaborated the meaning and value of the acceptance studying on Su Shi's Ci during Yuanyou times of Northern Song Dynasty.The second part was divided into three chapters. The first chapter was looking forward vision of Sushi namely Sushi accepted himself. Reception the theory of acceptance aesthetics pointed that before reading or in reading process, as the vailed reader of creatives, the readers often had a psychological accomplished structure on the base of individualand social complex reasons. The accomplished structure of readers according reading text was called looking forward vision of reading experience, which was abbreviated looking forward vision. Talking about the acceptance, the scholars often discussed from the angle of reader and researcher and overlooked the evaluation and dissemination of the creatives towards their own work as vailed reader. Based on this theory and the main creative, the thesis devided Su Shi's Ci into five periods to explore from Su Shi's Ci theory and the creation practice of Ci. Su Shi's Ci formed into special feature different from the previous style. When he evaluated his own Ci poem, Sushi already examined contemporary Ci circles in the aesthetic attitude of creative subject and critics. On the one hand, this chapter put emphasis on the creation of Su Shi's Ci, and on the other hand it carefully observed the evaluation of Su Shi himself. On this basis, it linked his evaluation to other Ci poets to refine his Ci theory and the style of his Ci poem evolving under the instruction of his Ci theory. The elucidation of Su Shi's looking forward vision established the basis to further study the Yuanyou Ci circles of Northern Song Dynasty and even the entire acceptance history of Su Shi's Ci. The second chapter was the acceptance of Yuanyou generous Ci poets to Su Shi's Ci. As an important literary phenomenon during Yuanyou period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Sushi's creation of Ci firstly caused widespread concerns and fierce debates in the interior of his school because of its pioneering and specificity. This chapter focused on studying the comments of Yuanyou Ci poets whose style of Ci poem were similar to Shu Shi and their creations. As the practical readers in the acceptance of Su Shi's Ci, their comments and judgement on Su Shi's Ci and the influence from him not only affected the overall developing tendency of Yuanyou Ci of Northern Song Dynasty, but also related to the construction of Ci conception of Yuanyou period of Northern Song Dynasty. In this sense, how to understand and accept Su Shi's Ci was the key factor during the development of Ci poem of Yuanyou period. And then the acceptance of Su Shi's Ci became the main channel of innovating previous Ci's style to the Ci poets of Yuanyou period of Northern Song Dynasty. The third chapter was the acceptance of Yuanyou plaintive Ci poets to Su Shi's Ci. In addition generous Ci poets, the acceptance of Yuanyou plaintive Ci poets, whose style were different from Su Shi, became the effective strength of the acceptance of Su Shi's Ci during Yuanyou period. Their acceptance to Su Shi's Ci there had samenesses with differences and positives with negatives, and corrected some problems encountered in the acceptance and dissemination process of Su Shi from another aspect and also added new blood to their own Ci poem. This played a significant role in perfecting the structure of Yuanyou Ci of Northern Song Dynasty.The last part summarized the acceptance of Su Shi's Ci during Yuanyou period of Northern Song Dynasty. Sushi himself as the implied reader on his own Ci poems constituted the acceptance of Su Shi's Ci's looking forward Visions .This was the basis of the descendants' acceptance of Sushi's Ci and as well as the prelude of Yuanyou peyiod of Northern Song Dynasty and even the entire history of Su Shi's Ci. In Yuanyou period, the generous Ci poets' acceptance of Su Shi's Ci promoted the development of Su Shi's Ci and affected the overall development trend of the Northern Song Dynasty's Ci and the construction of the concept of the theory of Northern Song Dynasty creatives' Ci, which was the melody of the Yuanyou period's Su Shi's Ci in Northern Song Dynasty. The graceful Ci poets' acceptance of Su Shi's Ci sang the different tune of Su Shi's Ci in Yuanyou period of Northern Song Dynasty from the conservative aspect of Ci poems' prototype and Danghang. The above study could conclude that the Yuanyou period in Northern Song Dynasty was the first peak in the acceptable history of Su Shi's Ci .The scholars' statement on what about Su Shi's Ci'acceptance in Northern Song Dynasty was the embryonic period and the judgment that Northern Song Dynasty almost had no acceptance of Su Shi's Ci needed more discuss, which needed more deep thought and study.
