| In the academic field, the analysis of the relation between the Ci of Liu and Zhou tends to focus more on the elegant style, theme and manifestation mode of their Ci.However, in the process of expression, much more attention is given to the superficial understanding that Qingzhen follows the Ci of Liu, which neglects the cause of formation and the discussion of its specific forms. Although there are few research articles focusing on the similarities and differences as well as the inner origin of the Ci of Liu and Zhou, it is not easy to reflect the whole situation of the Ci of Liu and Zhou. Only few scholars have novelty viewpoints.
