Li Qingzhao's Early, Middle and Late Ci Poems

Li Qingzhao's ci is known as "Yi 'an Ci" and "Shuyu Ci", which is named after its number and collection. Yi 'an Collection and Shuyu Collection were recorded by Song people long ago. Up to now, there are about 45 ci-poems, and more than 10 are in doubt. Her "Yu Shu Ci" is both heroic and strange. She not only has profound literary accomplishment, but also has bold creative spirit. Generally speaking, due to the changes of living in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, her creative content showed different characteristics in the early and late stages.

Early stage: it truly reflects her boudoir life, thoughts and feelings, and the theme focuses on writing about natural scenery and parting lovesickness.

Later stage: mainly expressing nostalgia and nostalgia when injured. Expressed his deep sadness in his lonely life.

Li Qingzhao's early poems truly reflected her boudoir life, thoughts and feelings, and the theme focused on writing about natural scenery and parting lovesickness. For example, two songs, such as Dream, are lively and beautiful, and the language is innovative. I remember playing the flute on the Phoenix Terrace, a plum blossom, and a drunken flower. By describing my lonely life, I expressed my deep affection for my husband and my love for her, which was graceful and graceful. [Butterfly Hua Lian] "Seeing Sisters Off at Changle Pavilion at Night" is about nostalgia for female companions, and the feelings are extremely sincere. Although most of her poems describe lonely life and express melancholy feelings, she can often see her love for nature and frankly reveal her pursuit of a better love life. This is written by a woman writer, which is much more valuable than Forever in My Heart written by the first-person narrator.

Li Qingzhao's poems after crossing the south are also very different from those in the previous period. The political risks and various tragic experiences in her personal life after the destruction of her country made her spirit very painful, so her early ci became beautiful and bright, but full of sad and low voices, mainly showing her homesickness and nostalgia when she was injured.

During her exile, she often missed her hometown in the Central Plains, such as "Where is my hometown? Forget it, unless I'm drunk. "Dream of Chang 'an in vain and recognize Chang 'an Road" written by [Bodhisattva Xia] [Butterfly Hua Lian] reveals her deep nostalgia for the lost north. She is more attached to her past life, such as the famous slow word "Ode to Fishing Music", and recalls Luo Jing's "Zhongzhou heyday". [Transferred from Man Fang Ting] Cao Fang Pond recalls the "winning reward" of that year, compares the good life of the past with the desolation and haggard of today, and places the yearning for the old country.
