Which dynasty did ci originate from? What stages have you gone through?

Ci is one of China's ancient poems. It began in Liang Dynasty, formed in Tang Dynasty and flourished in Song Dynasty. According to Old Tang Book; "Since Kaiyuan (the year of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty), singers have mixed the songs of Okoyi Lane." At that time, there were many talented musicians in the city who made a living by singing. According to the need to coordinate the lyrics with the music beat, they created or adapted some long and short sentence lyrics, which are the earliest words. It can also be seen from Dunhuang Quzi Ci that the words produced by the people are decades earlier than those created by the literati.

Folk words in the Tang Dynasty mostly reflect themes such as love and acacia, so they are not elegant in the eyes of literati. It is considered a poetic path. Only those who pay attention to absorbing the artistic advantages of folk songs, such as Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi, write some words with simple and natural style and full of rich life flavor. Wen Tingyun and the "Huajian School" in the Five Dynasties, which are famous for their rich ci works, have a certain position in the history of ci. However, Li Houzhu's poems after his capture in the Southern Tang Dynasty opened up a new and profound artistic realm, which strongly infected later poets.

Ci is a new style that emerged in the Tang Dynasty. After the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it flourished, reached its peak in the Song Dynasty, declined for more than 300 years in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and re-entered the development state in the Qing Dynasty.

Ci, also known as Quzi Ci, long and short sentences and poems, is a kind of songs and poems full of feasts. A epigraph is the name of the tone of a word. Different epitaphs have regulations on the total number of words, the number of words per sentence and the level.
