The origin of Ci
Ci is a type of ancient Chinese poetry. It began in the Liang Dynasty, formed in the Tang Dynasty and reached its peak in the Song Dynasty, so it is commonly known as Song Ci. According to the "Old Book of Tang", "Since Kaiyuan (the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty), singers have mixed songs from Hu Yili Lane." Due to the widespread spread of music, there were many talented musicians in the city at that time who made a living by singing. According to the needs of the lyrics and the rhythm of the music, some lyrics with varying lengths and short sentences were created or adapted. This is the earliest lyrics. It can also be seen from the Dunhuang music lyrics that the lyrics produced by the people are decades earlier than the lyrics written by the literati. Ci
In the Tang Dynasty, most folk Ci reflected themes such as love and lovesickness, so it was not elegant in the eyes of literati and was regarded as a minor poetry. Only those who pay attention to absorbing the artistic advantages of folk songs, such as Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi and others, can write some words, which have a simple and natural style and are filled with a strong flavor of life. Wen Tingyun and the "Huajian School" of the Five Dynasties, who are famous for their rich and elegant poetry, have a certain position in the history of Ci development. The lyrics written by empress Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty after he was captured opened up a new and profound artistic realm and gave a strong influence to later generations of poets. Ci originated from the folk, but before the opening of the Dunhuang Stone Chamber in 1900, it was difficult to see folk works in research. It was not until the lyrics and music in the Dunhuang scrolls came out that this shortcoming was remedied. Dunhuang has a large number of lyrics and music. Among them, there are five poems by Wen Tingyun, Li Ye (Tang Zhaozong), and Ouyang Jiong, and the rest are by unknown people. The authors range from a wide range of people, most of whom belong to the lower class, and their writing time probably started from the last years of Wu Zetian to the Five Dynasties. Among them, the most important copy is "Yunyao Collection and Miscellaneous Songs", which contains 30 lyrics. The copying time was no later than the first year of Qianhua in the Later Liang Dynasty (911). , 940), published nearly thirty years earlier. Except for "Nei Jia Jiao", the remaining 12 tunes used are recorded in "Jiaofang Ji·Tune List". Among them are slow words and couplet styles. The early creation of Dunhuang poems and the folk nature of the author's composition make the works, from content, structure to language style, show the transitional characteristics of these early poems, which initially separated from the general cultural system of poetry and began to become independent. Zhu Zumou's postscript "Yunyao Collection and Miscellaneous Songs" says: "The lyrics are simple and pleasing to the eye, and the sound is like a vertebra wheel." It can be used to evaluate the entire Dunhuang poetry.
