Chao Duanli

Huang said that he was "as famous as Wanzhe's Yayan (chanting) and entered the CI according to the law of the moon" (Volume 7 of selected excellent Ci of the sages of Tang and Song dynasties). He died before he could serve.

personal works

Chao Duanli's Ci can be divided into three categories

One is the work of praising saints, which is about "entering CI according to the law of the moon" as Huang said. This kind of Ci and some longevity CI are just to whitewash peace and flatter, and their artistic value is not high.

Second, the description of women is mainly the work of geisha's mind and mood, not the men's love and women's love during the banquet. Some words are more implicit, such as "don't let the embroidered curtain fall down to prevent the return of the two swallows"; some words are shallow and vulgar.

The third is to express the feelings of personal life. This kind of words mostly express the author's ideological interest of self anesthesia with wine or seeking relief by reclusion when he is frustrated in politics. But there is also a strong and broad-minded chapter. For example, the famous work "green headed duck" describes the Mid Autumn Festival moon, the realm is cool and pure, the lyric atmosphere is very good, predecessors praised as "Qingwan" (the second volume 39 of "Tiaoxi yuyinconghua").

The anthology of Ci, xianshiji, has been lost. This biography of "xianzhai QinQu waipian" 6 volumes, there are Mao Jin Ji gugejing song manuscript.
