Features: This book takes the Ci (Compendium of Ci) compiled by the early Qing scholar Zhu Yizun as its starting point. Based on rigorous research and documentation, it discusses the bibliographical value of Ci, analyzes the relationship between the ci theory proposed in Ci and the Supplement to the Yuefu and Six Masters of Western Zhejiang Ci, and explores the reasons behind Ci's influence on the formation and evolution of the Western Zhejiang Ci school. It also summarizes the impact of Ci on the ci bibliography in the General Catalogue of the Siku Quanshu and on Zhang Huian's Selection of Ci from Changzhou. Through these arguments, the book demonstrates the significant role Ci played in the process of establishing the study of ci as a specialized academic discipline during the Qing Dynasty, reflecting the Qing people's understanding of the ci form and pioneering the study of ci in the Qing era.
