ABSTRACT

Huang Xieqing is renowned in the academic world for his "Yi Qing Lou Qi Zhong Qu", yet his "Yi Qing Lou Shi Yu" has received limited research attention.This paper aims to properly recognize Huang's achievements in Ci poetry. Known for his exceptional talent in Ci, Huang was celebrated in his time. Li Ciming regarded him as an outstanding Ci poet and a master of the genre. Huang was bold in his creations, ensuring each piece was "clear and logical," and he aligned with the Zhexi, "Zhe", Ci school. However, he also maintained a deep connection with the Changzhou, "Chang", Ci school. In the intertwined development of the "Zhe" and "Chang" schools, Huang emerged as a pivotal figure leading the late Qing Dynasty's Ci poetry towards an "upward path." Amidst the Ci schools, Huang innovated in Ci theory, employing the "theory of sustenance in other things" as a guide. He promoted aesthetic qualities of elegance, tameness, purity, composure, and vigilance, drawing inspiration from the Changzhou Ci school's "Implications and Significance of Words" theory. The 'subtle and gentle style" attributed to Lu Qian does not fully encompass Huang's Ci works. His later Ci pieces, infused with personal experiences and emotions, underwent significant stylistic transformations.
