The introductory chapter explains the purposes of this study and the related issues. It first explores the possible connection between the Confucian discourses and the ci-poetry and its theories. It gives a literature review of past studies, and then proceeds on to account for the aims of this study and to introduce its methodology. Chapter One explores Zhang Huiyan's ci studies and his particular writing practices. It demonstrates that Zhang Huiyan's ci studies have to be understood through his yi (The Book of Changes) studies, and they are intimately related to his statecraft vision for the time. This chapter also examines Zhang's "life-philosophy" as implied in his Mingke ci. Chapter Two is titled "From the History of Poetry to That of the Ci-poetry-the Theoretical Reference and Evolution of the History of Ci-poetry in the Qing Dynasty." It argues that ci-poetry in Qing times evolved from a preference for the fu manner in early Qing, to that for the bi and xing from the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods onwards, and eventually to a synthesis of the fu, bi and xing manners in the late Qing. This trajectory has to be understood through ci-poetry's interaction with the various Confucian discourses, as well as the disposition of the particular ci poets. Chapter Three is titled "The Rhetorical Strategies of the Chunqiu, Gongyang School and Ci-poetry of Late Qing." There is this famous saying about ci-poetry in Qing times: " Ci originated from Gongyang." The person who said this is unknown, but it is likely by a certain theorist who saw the various similarities of rhetorical strategies in those of the Chunqiu, the Gongyang School exegeses and the Changshu School theory of ci-poetry. In this regard, statecraft and the rhetoric of "subtlety" had always weighed heavily on Tan Xian's mind when he considered the connection between the Confucian discourses and literature. This reveals not only the influence of the New Text Confucianism in the late Qing, but also the disposition of the scholars of the Gongyang School-participation in social affairs and political interference are their ultimate concern. Hu Nianxiu also borrowed heavily from the Gongyang School theory, and in his own ci-poetry, the image of the abandoned women is a subtle metaphor for those Confucian gentlemen whose ambitions are frustrated. Chapter Four is "From Theory Borrowing to Blending-The Discourse of The Book of Songs and Late-Qing Ci-poetry." It illustrates that ci poets of the late Qing strategically traced the origin of the genre of ci to the Shijing (The Book of Songs), thereby appropriating a reverence that a canonical work enjoyed. But the ci theorists did not borrow from the Shijing indiscriminately. They strived to retain ci's lyrical nature and its rhetoric of subtlety, conferring on ci the didacticism of that of the Shijing while emphasizing its particular "graceful" aesthetics. Chapter Five is entitled "From Eclecticism of the 'Han and Song' and 'Old and New' Scholarship to the Synthesis of Ci Theories of the Zhe and Chang Schools." This chapter focuses on Chen Li, Yu Yue, Li Ciming, and Wang Kaiyun of the late Qing. They are taken as examples to help explain the fact that ci theorists' literary discourses on ci are inseparable from their Confucian scholarship shaped in youth. They fused the so-called Tang and Song Learning and the New and Old Text Movements in Confucianism, and thus their taking a relatively liberal position towards the seemingly rival Zhe and Chang Schools of ci theories came as no surprise. Chapter Six is named "The Relationship between Ci-poetry and Neo- Confucianism in the late Qing Dynasty, Focusing on Liu Xizai and the Theory of 'The Heart of Ci'." In his writings about ci, Liu refers to some "True Characters," by whom he means those who fully live out their human nature. And there is this "Ci by the Gentlemen," whose authors follow their inner, true heart, and are immune from worldly corruption. Liu was a Neo-Confucian scholar of the late Qing who committed himself to reconciling the Cheng-Zhu and Lu-Wang thoughts. Liu holds that ci-poetry should never go beyond what morality allows; otherwise, it will be as trivial as the Lu-Wang thought. To conclude, the late-Qing ci theory on "The Heart of Ci" betrays certain elements of late-Qing Neo-Confucianism The concluding chapter summarizes the various discussions in this dissertation and evaluates the strengths and limits of the late-Qing theories on ci in their leanings towards the scholarship of Confucian classics of the day.
