A Textual Research and Discussion on Yunjian Ci Poets' Responsorial Singing in the Fourth Year of the Shunzhi Reign Period

In the fourth year of the Shunzhi reign period(Ding Hai),Yunjian Ci Poets' organized a responsorial singing activity initiated by CHEN Zi-long,LI Wen,SONG Zheng-bi,SONG Cun-biao,and was later followed by QIAN Gu,SONG Zheng-xing,SONG Si-yu,etc.The songs for the ci-poetry responsorial were collected in Collection of Responsorial Ci Poetry.From the textual research of the existing liturature,LI Wen did take part in this activity,but he did not have any related Ci-poems recorded,which might be due to his leaving for Beijing halfway.The themes of the responsorial singing activity were the chant of the spring and women's sentiments;these Ci poems were better expressed than Bi-xing(a way of annotating and interpreting poems),and they were skilled at expressing the state of mind by creating situations ad hoc.Yunjian Ci poems were more vigorous than before.
