The so-called Ci Pai refers to the original name of a roughly fixed part of the music that was often used to fill in lyrics during the Tang and Song Dynasties. It is a popular word that adapts to the needs of cultural life and combines the development of music and poetry at that time. Its predecessor is a folk ditty. There are about 870 word cards, including a few Jin and Yuan words. The content of most words has nothing to do with the meaning of the words. In fact, starting from the Northern Song Dynasty, poets often added titles or prefaces to explain the meaning of the words in addition to the word cards. As for the origin of each word card, only a few can be verified, and the origin of most of them cannot be clarified.
