The stability of social order and the prosperity of metropolis in the Song Dynasty provided conditions for the literati in the early Song Dynasty to enjoy their lives, and Ci is just the right way to describe this kind of life. Because the life of literati in the early Song Dynasty was different from that in the Southern Dynasties, new changes were brewing in the style of ci. In Song Renzong, the creation of Ci entered its heyday, and the development of Ci experienced another important musical change. Liu Yong used Jiao Fang's new tone to reconcile Du Yi's new tone, "changing the old tone into new tone", and created a large number of slow words, which is the development of words. Yan Shu and Ouyang Xiu mainly inherited the legacy of the Southern Tang Dynasty and wrote more poems, but they also showed some new changes. They write about love, feasting and entertainment, and they also write tactfully and beautifully. Su Shi expanded the theme and realm of Ci, and regarded changing and refreshing the style of Ci as an important aspect of changing the style of Ci, becoming a representative of the bold school. Zhou Bangyan is a representative figure of the metrical school. He is proficient in temperament, writes slow songs and eliminates vulgar, elegant and homophonic festivals. Li Qingzhao advocated that ci should be descriptive, classical and realistic, so "don't be a family". Xin Qiji opened up the realm of Su Shi's ci, taking Wen as his ci. The establishment of Su Xin Ci School further established the position of Song Ci in the history of literature. Jiang Kui also used the thin and hard style of Jiangxi Poetry School to write Ci, which opened up a new way of "self-tuning" and pushed the expression of slow Ci further. Pronouns in Tang and Five Dynasties are very mature in art, and Song Ci developed not only in content, but also in art, which made the creation of Ci reach its peak.
Song Ci is a popular literary genre in China in the Song Dynasty, which is a new style of poetry compared with classical poetry. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of Confucian scholars in Song Dynasty, and marks the highest achievement of Song Dynasty literature.
