The Conservative Sentiments in Chen Weisong's Jialing Ci
Chen Weisong,the founder of Yangxian Ci,is considered a Ci writer with conservative sentiments during the Ming and Qing dynasties.His J ialing Ci reflects this conservative consciousness,forming a cultural code in two aspects of themes:one is nostalgia for people and the other is for objects.The former approach often focuses on remembering the anti-Qing warriors and recluses,using them as symbols to represent the rise and fall of the dynasty by comparing the present to the past.The latter approach uses the method of"analogy and extrapolate"to express memories of the ancestral homeland.The writing in Jialing Ci demonstrates a noticeable shift from implicit to explicit.This can be attributed to Chen Wisong's youth during the fall of the Ming Dynasty.However,as he matured and gained more experience through travel,coupled with his family's despair for revival,he developed a growing sense of nostalgia for the past.However,in terms of political stability,Chen Weisong lost the protection of Gong Dingzhi,Faxiang,Wang Shizhen,and others in his social activities after the seventh year of Kangxi.As a result,he could no longer participate in the social circle as a noble son.Therefore,he expressed his loyalty to the former dynasty as a strategy for his identity construction.
