Capitolo in anteprimaI.1 · The Realm Is the Highest Criterion in Ci PoetryLeggi anteprima

In ci poetry, the realm (jingjie) is the highest criterion. Once a work possesses a realm, its style naturally becomes elevated, and memorable lines naturally emerge. The reason the ci poetry of the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song far surpasses that of other periods lies precisely in its possession of a realm.

Capitolo in anteprimaI.2 · Creating a Realm and Depicting a RealmAnteprima

There are realms created through imagination and realms depicted from reality. This distinction separates idealist writers from realist writers. Yet the two are difficult to distinguish clearly. This is because the realms created by great poets must necessarily accord with the natural world, while the realms they depict must also necessarily approach their ideals.

Capitolo in anteprimaI.3 · The Realm with the Self and the Realm without the SelfAnteprima

There is the realm with the self and the realm without the self.

"With tearful eyes I question the flowers, but the flowers make no reply; scattered red petals fly beyond the swing."

"How can one endure the lonely inn, shut against the spring cold, as the setting sun fades amid the cries of cuckoos?"

These are realms with the self.

"I pick chrysanthemums beneath the eastern fence and leisurely behold the southern mountain."

"Cold waves rise gently, while white birds descend at ease."

These are realms without the self.

In the realm with the self, one observes things through one's own eyes, so everything takes on the colors of one's own feelings. In the realm without the self, one observes things from the standpoint of the things themselves, so that it becomes impossible to distinguish between the self and the objects observed.

Most ancient ci poets depicted realms with the self. This does not mean, however, that they were incapable of depicting realms without the self. The ability to do so depends entirely upon the cultivation of one's own character by those of extraordinary talent.
