The periods of Shunzhi and Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty were the starting points for the revival of Ci in the Qing Dynasty,and the preface and postscript of Ci collections,as important auxiliary texts of Ci collections,contain rich value of Ci study.Taking the preface and postscript of Ci collections in the period of Shunzhi and Kangxi of Qing Dynasty as the research object,we can carefully observe the real style of the whole Ci circle,and see the efforts made by Ci writers in the period of Shunzhi and Kangxi to revive Ci style.This article is divided into four chapters:The first chapter introduces the background of Ci style development in Shunzhi and Kangxi periods of Qing Dynasty.Under the change of dynasties at the time of Ming and Qing dynasties,scholars saw that the country was Mired in war,people were living in hardship,and they were also faced with the choice between life and death,so they needed to express their accumulated emotions.In the cultural rectification in the early Qing Dynasty,Ci style had a lucky opportunity to develop and became a tool for literati to express their feelings.Of course,the revival of Ci style in the late Ming Dynasty also had a profound influence on the Ci style of Shunzhi and Kangxi periods in the Qing Dynasty both in creation and theory.The second chapter discusses the theory of Ci collections and postscripts in Shunzhi and Kangxi periods of Qing Dynasty.The authors of the preface and postscript of Ci collections in the period of Shunzhi and Kangxi first strengthened the morality of Ci style and made Ci have the spiritual connotation in line with Confucianism.Secondly,it shows inclusive style theory and dialectical criticism view,and conveys the idea of inclusive Ci.Finally,it expounds the value of Ci style based on literary history.It not only looks for the source of Ci style from multiple angles,but also clarifies the concept of the descending and changing style of poetry and Ci style.It also promotes the Ci style by breaking the boundary and distinguishing the boundary respectively,which ensures the uniqueness of Ci style while improving the status of Ci style.The third chapter explores the dissemination thoughts of Ci collections and postscripts in Shunzhi and Kangxi periods.In Shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties,Ci writers generally had a conscious awareness of communication.They actively collected and published Ci collections,and also took the initiative to present Ci collections and invite others to write forewords,so as to directly spread Ci collections,and expected Ci collections to be handed down everywhere and to the future.They spread Ci with various purposes such as entertainment,lyricism,communication theory and praising the country.In addition,certain communication strategies were adopted to enhance the appeal of Ci collections and promote the spread of Ci collections by shaping the image of Ci writers,writing and reading feelings,summarizing famous sentences and attaching themselves to predecessors.The fourth chapter discusses the classicization and declassicization in the preface and postscript of Ci collections in Shunzhi and Kangxi periods.This classicization is mainly divided into two parts.One is the classicization of Ci writers in Tang and Song dynasties.Different groups of Ci writers in Shunzhi and Kangxi periods flexibly selected classicization objects according to their own aesthetic vision,and generated or consolidated their classicization status by emphasizing style representativeness,highlighting the status of Ci history,and spreading famous sentences and articles.The two are the canonization of Ci writers in Shunzhi and Kangxi periods.The authors of the preface and postscript of Ci collections in Shunzhi and Kangxi periods are full of confidence in the development of this period and have no lack of self-examination,and promote the self-canonization of CI writers in Shunzhi and Kangxi periods by exploring their characteristics,highlighting their status and continuing the inheritance system.The experiences of Zhang Yan and Wang Shizhen in Shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties are typical cases of these two classical constructions.In addition,in the preface and postscript of Ci collections in Shunzhi and Kangxi periods,there was also a certain phenomenon of de-canonization,which showed the innovation and enterprising spirit of ci writers in Shunzhi and Kangxi periods.
