Abstract

Yanshu(晏殊) was a prominent figure in the Northern Song Dynasty known for leading one of the two styles of Ci Poetry: Su Ci(俗詞) and Ya Ci(雅詞). Yanshu’s Birthday-Congratulation Ci(祝壽詞) has not been given much attention because it only highlighted his noble expression without any true content. However, as examined in the text, well contains the Scholar bureaucrat consciousness(士大夫意識) of the Northern Song Dynasty, making them actually quite significant in terms of the contemporary literary trends and factional classifications. Furthermore, Yanshu’s portrayal of the ‘flux of time’ not only demonstrates his profound grasp of life but also unveils the distinctive allure of Birthday-Congratulation Ci. Additionally, Yanshu’s Birthday-Congratulation Ci showcases a profound Daoist philosophy that underscores a harmonious coexistence with nature, adding yet another noteworthy dimension to his work.
