Yan Dichang's "History of Ci Ci in the Qing Dynasty" takes the trend of Ci as its main thread, takes the growth and decline of Ci schools and major Ci creation activities and group practices in various periods as its backbone, and takes the latitude and longitude of the creation criticism of everyone and famous people. The evaluation focuses on exploring the evolution of its "causes" and "changes" from two aspects: cognitive value and aesthetic value. The book is rich in information, has a tight structure, clear theoretical summary, and concise writing style. It is the pioneering work and introductory material for contemporary Qing Ci research.
