- Abstract
As the pinnacle of the graceful and restrained school of Chinese poetic genres, the Qingzheng Ci have taken over and accommodated the strengths of the early Northern Song dynasty’s graceful and restrained poetic genres, while forming a school of their own, which has had far-reaching effects on the Southern Song dynasty and even on later generations of the development and condition of Ci-poems. From the end of the Northern Song Dynasty to the present day, Chinese academics have made a variety of positive and negative comments on the Qingzhen Ci, especially in the last hundred years, which have been fluctuations under the influence of ideology. However, no one in academia can deny that Zhou Bangyan has mature and unique aesthetic characteristics in his works. Except for the exquisite sound and rhythm, the status of Qingzhen Ci in the world of Ci-poems is also quite distinctive in terms of the content of the lyrics. Starting from the text of Qingzhen Ci, this paper summarises the three major aesthetic features of Qingzhen Ci: firstly, the skilful use of circular chapter structure; secondly, the elegant, refined, fluent and natural language; and thirdly, the subtle and condensed way of expression that integrates feelings into matters. These features greatly contribute to the process of elegance of the Ci-poems and greatly enhance their thickness and depth.
