Thesis (Ph.D.)--Indiana University, 1998.

This dissertation is a study of the poets and the song lyrics (ci) of the 940 anthology, Collection From Among the Flowers (Huajian ji). In this thesis I divide my attention between the formal and discursive properties of the song lyric genre and the social and cultural implications of writing song lyrics in tenth-century Shu. The study is divided into two parts: Part I, "Court, Culture, and Collecting in Shu," focuses on the social, cultural, and literary implications of writing song lyrics, and collecting them, in the separatist regional kingdom of Shu. By writing song lyrics, Shu poets demonstrated their literary skills, and thus their fitness for office in Shu, to their peers and to a succession of pleasure-loving rulers. The preface, the ordering and titling of the poets, and the very act of collecting all display the Shu poets' self-conscious desire to legitimize the song lyric and, by doing so, legitimize their own regional culture.

520 $a This dissertation is a study of the poets and the song lyrics (ci) of the 940 anthology, Collection From Among the Flowers (Huajian ji). In this thesis I divide my attention between the formal and discursive properties of the song lyric genre and the social and cultural implications of writing song lyrics in tenth-century Shu. The study is divided into two parts: Part I, "Court, Culture, and Collecting in Shu," focuses on the social, cultural, and literary implications of writing song lyrics, and collecting them, in the separatist regional kingdom of Shu. By writing song lyrics, Shu poets demonstrated their literary skills, and thus their fitness for office in Shu, to their peers and to a succession of pleasure-loving rulers.

520 $a Part II, "The Song Lyrics of The Collection From Among the Flowers," addresses the literary nature of the collection, and attempts to delineate the "Huajian style" known among later commentators. In the three chapters of Part II, I examine the central theme of the anthology--romantic love--and investigate the different techniques for depicting romantic situations used by the Collection poets. In particular, I focus on the use of descriptive detail, the use of shifting voices and perspectives, and the juxtaposition of formal and vernacular language in three sets of song lyrics. I argue that the skillful use of convention and selective imitation are the hallmarks of the song lyric as the Shu poets conceived of it. "Contending with spring," as the author of the preface argues, meant using artifice and craft to create beautiful lyrics--but this artful enterprise was bounded by surprisingly narrow thematic, descriptive, and expressive conventions.
