The Study On Tang-Song Relegation Ci

Relegation is commonly encountered by ancient Chinese literati, especially in the Tang and Song dynasties. Relegation has a tremendous impact on the ancient Chinese literature. The previous studies on relegation literature focused on the Tang dynasty in aspect of era and on poetry in aspect of stylistic, but there is no systematic study on Tang-Song relegation Ci yet. This thesis will describe the history of Tang-Song relegation Ci and show the style and features of those Ci in three stages of Medium tang,Northern Song and Southern Song; Analyze the three main emotion types and their literary heritage;Explore the reason of Ci's rise and poetical change from the perspective of literati relegation.This thesis has five chapters, roughly as follows:The first chapter describes the relegation Ci in Medium Tang and explores the relationship between Ci's rise and literati Relegation. Several important Ci writers such as Liu Changqing, Liu Yuxi, Bai Juyi, and Zhang Zhihe all have experienced relegation. It is just after relegation that they began to pay attention to and engaged in Ci writing. Objectively, relegation gave them a chance to contact with folk tunes; subjectively, relegation made their mentality changed from enterprising attitude to implicit leisure attitude, thus promoted the rise of Ci.The second chapter inspects the style of relegation Ci in Northern Song dynasty, taking the individual destiny's fluctuation in party struggle as the background. Generally speaking, the Northern Song relegation Ci's main subject is the individual's emotional struggle and rational self-rescue in misery .At the same time,different Ci writers have their own style in relegation Ci because of their different characteristics and situation in relegation. Based on the quantity, influence and style representation, this chapter selects four Ci writers Qin Guan, Chao Buzhi, Huang Tingjian and Su Shi as case study.The third chapter introduces the style of relegation Ci in Southern Song dynasty, taking the struggle between those who advocate fight and those who advocate reconciliation in Southern Song government as the background. Most Southern Song relegation Ci writers live in the Time of Emperor Gao and Emperor Xiao. The four famous chancellors are center of relegation Ci writers in the former time, while in the latter time, Zhang Xiaoxiang, Lu You and Xin Qiji are representatives. Comparing to the relegation Ci in Northern Song, Southern Song relegation Ci added the patriotic subject. Facing the misfortune in life, Southern Song relegation Ci writers showed a more comfortable and broad-minded tone. The fourth chapter analyzes and Summarizes the three major emotion types in Tang -Song relegation Ci by analyzing Song Yu, Qu Yuan and Tao Yuanming's influence towards Tang -Song relegation Ci.Song, Qu and Tao, respectively represent the literati's sentimental, patriot's persistent and Tatsu's wisdom. Xin Qiji's relegation Ci are obviously influenced by both Qu Yuan and Tao Yuanming .This chapter will take him as a representative to inspect the sublation and integration to Qu Yuan and Tao Yuan-Ming'spirits by relegated people in Song dynasty.The fifth chapter elaborates the relationship between Ci writers'relagation and Ci's poetical change. Ci writers transferred the theme of poem to Ci because of the fear that poem may bring in disaster in relegation, so that Ci's theme had been broadened; The Ci writer's experience to travel faraway in relegation made Ci's boundary changed from narrow to wide and from soft to energetic; Relegation made Ci writers pay more attention to self-expression, and change the traditional writing way"Imitates woman as a man"; Relegation also made Ci's deep meaning become more obvious and easy to be understand, so that Ci's meaning become more abundant. Relegated Ci writers always have the same emotion and aspirations, so they often exchange their Ci to encourage each other, thus Ci's function had been enhanced.Through the above elaboration, we can get the conclusion that in Tang -Song Ci's developing process, literati's relegation is an important driving force which can not be ignored. It not only promoted the rise of literati Ci, but also plays an important role in Ci's poetic change in the aspects such as theme, style ,function and so on .If there is no literati relegation ,Tang- Song Ci would not have such a complete history and such brilliant artistic charm.
