ABSTRACT

The Yujia’ao Ci emerged as a new form of Yufu Ci during the Song dynasty, driven by a transformation in the concept of reclusion and the evolution of music after the mid-Tang period. Its new aspects are seen in three ways: It was enjoyed as a Guzi Ci at literati gatherings, focusing on themes of literati friendship and farewells, and became particularly skilled at depicting waterscapes. Ouyang Xiu’s Yueling ti contributed to a dramatic shift in the Southern Song Ci. It utilized Daoist thought and immortal themes. Due to its presumed Daoist musical characteristics, its themes came to include prayers for longevity, longing for immortals, and the pursuit of the immortal realm. It was created as a Buddhist Yufu Ci. Adopted as a Buddhist genre because it was a faqu, similar to the mid-Tang monk Shi Decheng’s Bozhao Ge. Monks, understanding its Guzi Ci form, gradually focused solely on Buddhist subjects. These three new aspects suggest that Song dynasty Yufu Ci should be viewed from the diverse perspectives of literati, Daoist, and Buddhist culture, rather than solely as a culture of reclusion.
