Shen Qian's Inheritance and Restruction of Ci Poetry of the Ming Dynasty

The literature has the nature of continuity.In the turn of the Ming and Qing dynasties,on the basis of inheriting Ci Poetry of the Ming Dynasty,Shen Qian restructed it in that he inherited some elements of Ming Dynasty Ci Poetry on one hand,and absorbed some elements of the Qing Dynasty Ci Poetry on the other.Especially,he set store for the Ci style theory and thus laid a theoretical foundation for the conscious and rational orientation of Ci style and the acticve studies on Ci by Qing Dynasty poets.His Ci theory is a hybridity of,for example,his elucidation of the view of orthodoxy and unorthodoxy and his deconstruction of this view.
