Su Shi 蘇軾, ci 詞 poetry, “Moonlight over the West River” (西江月), theme, treatment of ci poetry as shi poetry (以詩為詞)Abstract
The study explains characteristics of ci 詞 poetry and uses fifteen of Su Shi’s 蘇軾 (1037–1101) ci poems written to the tune “Moonlight over the West River”, translated by the author of this study, to investigate Su Shi’s treatment of ci poetry as shi 詞 poetry (以詩為 詞), as well as the themes of these poems. The examples show that in both his traditional and innovative poems Su Shi expands the themes with allusions, relying on borrowings from literary, historic, and philosophical works, and making associations with stories, events, and people from history, mythology, and literature.
