Abstract
The proposition "Li Yu's Reincarnation" was put forward initially based on the analogy of reincarnation, and later acquired a clear reference. In the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the discussion of this proposition focused on Chen Zilong and Nalan Xingde. On the one hand, Chen and Nalan are similar to Li Yu in themes of romance, patriotism and style of Ci-poetry; on the other hand, there are differences in the theory of Ci-poetry. It not only reflects the canonization and acceptance of model-poets such as Li Yu, but also reflects the evolution and the orthodox order of Ling-Ci (Short Lyrics) in the Later Ming and Early Qing Dynasties. The admiration of Chen Zilong, especially his identity shown in the Early Collection of the Present Ci-poetry, not only reveals the consciousness of the school of Ci-poetry of Nalan, but also shows his clearer clarification of the Ci-poet community. It is known that the orthodox order of Ling-Ci in the proposition "Li Yu's Reincarnation" is also an important force in the Ci-poetry community of the early Qing. This force, together with other Ci-poetry forces, participates in and underpins the resurgence of Ci-poetry in the early Qing.
