On Poetry's Moral Cultivation: Style Reverence and Moral Cultivation in the Late Qing-Dynasty Ci-Poetry

Abstract

Abstract: The prevailing dictum of composing ci-poems in the late Qing Dynasty is to suggest the inner world with words pointing to the outer world. This dictum was explicated by different scholars from different perspectives, covering both its connection with traditional view of poetry's function of moral cultivation and its unique features in the historical development of Chinese poetry. The different views not only helped to promote the ci-poetry criticism and explication of issues in the composition of ci-poems but also highlighted the aesthetic and pragmatic characteristics of the ci-poetry criticism in the Late Qing Dynasty.

Key words: the Late Qing Dynasty, ci-poetry, style reverence, moral cultivation
