Abstract
By situating Zhou Ji and Wang Guowei within the historical context of learning ci-poetry and ci-poetry studies, this article reexamines the interactions between ci-poetry and its theoretical development. First, they demonstrate different approaches to incorporating authorial intention into the “awakening structure” and the “arousing structure.” Secondly, they inherit and refine the traditional poetics of experiencing objects and emotions by shaping the impassioning process through the centripetal style of the “immersion structure” and the centrifugal style of the “nomadic structure.” Thirdly, they construct the structure of ci-poetry through the duration-oriented “superimposition structure” and the punctum style of “explosion structure,” which integrate reason and emotion and serve as precursors to structural theory. Although Zhou Ji and Wang Guowei occupied different historical positions, representing the old and the new, their development of ci-poetry was shaped by the dual perspectives of learning ci-poetry and ci-poetry studies.
