During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, during the 60-year period when the former King of Shu and the later Shu Meng enfeoffed Zhong Shu, they became addicted to kabuki music, making Quzi popular. Huajian Collection is an anthology of songs and lyrics for geisha actors. Poet 18, whose Chinese and Huangfusong are poets, are listed at the beginning of the volume, indicating the origin of Xishu Ci School.
The words in Hua Jian Ji are gorgeous, while Wei Ci is indifferent, representing two styles. Their content is nothing more than singing in my heart forever's travel worries, and the hatred of parting is confined to the privacy of men and women. However, some works, such as Lu Qian's Linjiang Fairy, express the feeling of "conspiring against the country, subjugating the country and exterminating the species", while Ouyang Jiong's Nanxiangzi sings the local customs of the south, which is of practical significance.
Huajian Ci standardized the literary genre and aesthetic characteristics of Ci, and finally established its literary status, which had a far-reaching impact on the creation of Ci writers in Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
