Abstract

This article studies the republican female lyricist Chen Xiaocui (1902-1968), and her Cuilou Yincao, a collection of Chen’s classical poetry and ci lyric in her life. This article explains the important role of Chen and her ci lyric in the history of female lyric in the Republic of China, and explores the significance of creating classical poetry in modern times. This paper divides into four parts. The first chapter is a literature review on the studies of Chen. The second chapter introduces Chen’s biographies and life experiences, and Cuilou Yincao’s versions. The third chapter displays her ci works on painting (题画词), external object (咏物词), correspondence ci (赠和词), and ci of self-expression (感怀词), and the artistic style of Cuilou Yincao lyric. The last chapter summarise all and briefly shows the value of Cuilou Yincao to determine Chen’s position in the modern times of Chinese classical Ci lyric history.
