Li Zhi Yi(李之儀) was a poet and disciple of Su Shi(蘇軾). His Ci(詞) had a gentle and elegant style, quite distinctive from Su Shi’s bold and unconstrained approach. This style is rooted in Li Zhi Yi’s life journey and his perspective on Ci. When he was relegated and banished from the court to live in Dangtu(當塗), he met Yang Zhu(楊姝) who was a geisha(歌妓). Their encounter was deemed destiny, and they came together as a family and had children of their own. Later they were forced to separate caught in the middle of a political scheme. In the midst of such turmoil, Li Zhi Yi wrote a series of romantic poetry for his loved one. More than half of his works are actually love poems. The characteristics that define such poems are ‘graceful and restrained’, ‘pure and refined’, and ‘folk style(民歌)’. Such styles have been developed through the lifelong agony of this poet. His style raised the standard for future Ci(詞). This paper examines Li Zhi Yi’s romantic poetry and its commentary and discusses his stylistic characteristics.
