Li Qingzhao, a poetess in the Song Dynasty, once commented in her monograph on Ci: "Zhi Yan, Ouyang Yongshu and Su Zizhan, as small poetesss, are like swimming in the sea, but they all read tender poems, and they often disagree with the melody. Why? "
Meaning: When it comes to people like Yan (Yan Shu), Ouyang Yongshu (Ouyang Xiu) and Su Zizhan (Su Shi), they are all pedantic. Filling in these lyrics should be as easy as fetching water from the sea with a ladle, but this is not the case. If you carefully consider their words, the sentences are not polished enough, and their words are often out of tune. Why?
Li Qingzhao advocates that "Ci is different from one school", and its content and style are different from poetry, so this is the reason.
Extended data
On Ci is an essay on Ci written by Li Qingzhao, which is supposed to be written before Du Nan.
By reviewing the development of ci poetry, Li Qingzhao made frank comments and bold criticisms on the ci styles of past dynasties and various schools of "this dynasty" and put forward the slogan of "not for one".
The reason why she wants to shout out the slogan "Don't be a family member" is because many people have a vague understanding of it. In the previous generation, some poets who paid attention to a certain aspect of ci style either failed to reach the top of the world or were not worthy of the name because of their obvious shortcomings. Su Shi and others advocated "taking poetry as ci", which played a positive role in improving the status and broadening the scope of ci, but it brought a potential crisis to ci: ci would lose its own personality and unique style and be assimilated by poetry.
Poems of Song people are often just words, and there are many discussions. What's more, poems are overwhelmed by righteousness and have the same taste as chewing wax. In this case, it is really necessary to shout out the slogan of "no family", although it is stubborn.
On Ci's second criterion is "elegance", and the author affirms that "Shang Ya, the monarch and minister of Li Jiangnan, has such words as" a small building blows through the cool jade "and" wrinkling a pool of spring water ",and criticizes Liu Yong's Under the Dust of Ci with this criterion. In Li Qingzhao's mind, ci is an elegant art, and its conception should not be humble, and its diction and sentence-making should not be vulgar and extensive.
"Huncheng" is the third criterion in the theory of Ci. Li Qingzhao's opinion is that a few words like scattered gold and broken jade can't form a perfect artistic whole, and only when the whole is muddled can it be called a famous artist.
"Description of scenery" is the fourth criterion in the theory of Ci-poetry, and "description of objects and picturesque scenery" is the evaluation criterion of Ci-poetry, and it is also the creative technique of Ci-poetry.
The fifth criterion for evaluating ci in ci theory is "heavy code", and elegance, solemnity and profound artistic conception are the ideal realm of ci.
"Emotion" is also the standard of comments. Pay attention to charm and charm, the word can reach a higher level, but at the same time, we should pay attention to "truth" so as not to show weakness. "Still true" is not too much. If there are too many, it is easy to produce defects, so that "good jade has defects and the price is halved."
