Features: The term "cíhuà" can be broadly defined as "words about ci poetry." The forms of existing "cíhuà" throughout history mainly include standalone specialized works on "cíhuà" and scattered references to "cíhuà" in various classical texts since the Tang Dynasty. Their content primarily involves the origins, evaluations, citations, research, and discussions of ci poetry. The history of "cíhuà" should, based on textual research, systematically narrate, critique, and explore the evolution of "cíhuà" over the generations.
