Guide to traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 39 Let’s talk about Li Qingzhao’s “Theory of Ci”

I saw in the previous book review section that someone said that Li Qingzhao criticized Su Shi. Lao Wang was so ignorant that he thought "Ci Lun" was a book.

I can't find it online, and there are no related books in online bookstores. It wasn't until I read the previous chapter that I realized what I had taken for granted. I had just searched for the full text of "Theory of Ci", and it turned out that it was just a short essay. Li Qingzhao criticized the famous poets of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Lao Wang sorted out Li Qingzhao's life and found that "Ci Lun" should have been written under such circumstances:

At that time, it had been just two years since my father-in-law was killed by Cai Jingdou, and less than a year since my father died in depression. It was two years after Li Qingzhao fell out with her husband. She was expelled from Kaifeng and could only live in seclusion in her hometown alone.

I was alone in the countryside, deserted and full of resentment. Moreover, Li Qingzhao was still very young, only 25 years old at the time. Out of boredom, he put all his resentment into "Ci Lun".

Thus, Li Daodong was born.

The discussion about Li Qingzhao in the previous chapter is purely private and very problematic. But I am too lazy to change it. Once I change it, a bunch of chapters will disappear.

In addition, some people said that they did not understand the previous chapter, so I will make up for it in the next chapter.
