The “history of Ci (poem) in the Qing Dynasty” specified here refers to the developing process of Ci poets and Ci itself in every period of the Qing Dynasty. There is no doubt that the establishment of such a process shall depend on the objective fact of the development of Ci and Ci poets of the Qing Dynasty. However, what is more important, it was only from a particular historical perspective that these Ci and Ci poets were able to formulate a meaningful development sequence. Such a particular perspective is referred to as “explannatory inclination” in this paper. On this basis, previous studies which only collected the complete Ci written by Ci poets in the Qing Dynasty but failed to provide a specific “explanatory inclinatoin” towards these historic materials can not be considered as having contributed to the construction of “the history of Ci in the Qing Dynasty”. Tan Xian and Chen Ting Zhuo in the late Qing Dynasty inherited the particular perspective of discussing Ci from the early “School of Chang Zhou Ci”, thereby forming their “explanatory inclination” towards “the history of Ci in the Qing Dynasty”. This “explanatory inclination” was not put forth by means of the method adopted by a “history of theoretical literatrue” which had explicit chapters and discussion, but rather by the method adopted by a “history of literary discourse” which selected and evaluated a piece of Ci. In the light of this, this paper will provide detalied discussions on the Qing Dynasty with respect to Tan Xian's “Qie Zhueng Ci” and Chen Ting Zhuo's “Ci Ze”. The discussion will first analyze the “discourse of history of Ci in the Qing Dynasty” constructed by Tan and Chen through the selection and gathering of Ci, followed by the various “explanatory inclinations” of “the history of Ci in the Qing Dynasty” formulated by Tan and Chen. Finally, an interpretation of the similarities and differences of the “explanatory incliniations” of the two Qing scholars and the extension or transfer of meanings that the School of Chang Zhou Ci gave to the explanation of the “history of Ci” will be provided. The progression and results of such proofs by a critical research method can on the one hand supplement previous studies devoted to “Ci in the Qing Dynasty” which tended to focus on historical materials of Ci theory and on the other hand it can make manifest the problems of constructing a historic perspective of “the history of Ci in the Qing Dynasty”. Finally, the results obtained from this research will shed light on the problems of changes of “School of Chang Zhou Ci” in its late period.
