Features: This book takes Zhu Yizun's Ci Zong (Compendium of Ci Poetry), compiled by a scholar in the early Qing Dynasty, as a starting point. Based on thorough research and documentation, it discusses the bibliographical value of Ci Zong, analyzes the relationship between the ci poetry theories proposed in Ci Zong and Lefu Buti (Supplement to the Lefu Anthology) and Zhexi Liujia Ci (Six Ci Collections of Zhexi School), and explores the reasons behind Ci Zong's role in the formation and evolution of the Zhexi Ci School. It also summarizes the influence of Ci Zong on the ci poetry bibliography in the Siku Quanshu Zongmu (General Catalogue of the Siku Quanshu) and on Zhang Huiyan's Ci Xuan (Selected Ci Poems). Through these analyses, the book demonstrates the significant position of Ci Zong in the process of ci poetry studies becoming a specialized academic field in the Qing Dynasty, reflecting the Qing people's understanding of the ci form and pioneering the study of ci poetry in the Qing era.
