Compiled by the great modern ci 詞 scholar Zhu Zumou 朱祖謀, Canghai yiyinji 滄海遺音集 is a collection of writings by eleven Qing loyalist ci writers published in 1933 by Zhu’s most trustworthy disciple Long Yusheng 龍榆生. Compiled to serve as a form of remembrance of the fallen dynasty, its objective was also to preserve loyalist writings and establish a loyalist ci writers’ group. In the process of its publication, however, financial support also came from people from non-loyalist backgrounds, a phenomenon testifying to the fact that social boundaries were not always clearly demarcated. For Long Yusheng, who was entrusted with the task, the project also provided him with an opportunity to strengthen his social network and affirm his reputation in modern ci circles. Through the study of this collection’s publication process and purpose of its compilation, this article illustrates how different social groups in the early twentieth century worked together for a common literary project and why this collection is significant in modern ci history. |
