Since Ci developed till Ming Dynasty, and Ci of Ming Dynast had been gradually declined. Chen Zilong's Ci was glowing at the end of Ming Dynasty, so that the great Master of Chinese Culture Long Yusheng praised:"Ci fell into decay in the Ming Dynasty, however Chen Zilong redeemed the lost glory of Ci and subverted three hundred years'prevailing custom into a new epoch."The article is divided into three chapters to discuss Chen Zilong's Ci and poetic thoughts. First of all, Chen Zilong's Ci are included in Complete Works of Zhongyu Chen, eighteen volumes, a total of 79, based on this, the author did some research and found out 87 Ci which were written by Chen Zilong. Secondly, according to the information from Biography of Liu Rushi which written by Mr. Chen Yinque, 24 our of the 79 Ci iwhich ncluded in Complete Works of Zhongyu Chen were written to the famous courtesan Liu Rushi by Chen Zilong. Unfortunately, in terms of the author's analysis and knowledge, the author determined only three Ci were written to Liu Rushi. Last but no the least, Chen Zilong's Ci is ideological well self-contained and the point of view is vivid and unique; in line with the contents, his points of view can be divided into exquisite, patriotic and meaning of the word sent; in his creations, he used a large amount of"Spring Ending"Image-based group, adding deep, strong emotional sense of disillusionment with the words, to hide his emotions implicit in the natural scenery and gently expressed his lament. Although Ci of Chen Zilong are more than graceful bold but narrowly drawn on the contents, and follow the old path of Chunyuan Exquisite, in the late Ming and early Qing years, as the leader of Yunjian faction, Chen Zilong developed and raise up the Yunjian faction in a extremely rapid way, and played an very important role in the Founder of Ci of Qing Dynasty. |
