| Abstract: | Liu Yong’s Ci about business trip typically reveals the contradiction of his cultural identity. Due to the particular viewpoint of life experience narrated by himself rather than being a spokesman or lyrics writer, his Ci about business trip demonstrates the complication of his own inner world, becoming a direct manifestation of his life experience of dilemma. On the theme of nostalgia and patriotism, his Ci shows a tendency towards classic tradition; however it emphasizes features such as estrangement from politics ontology and abandoning political personality of literati and officialdom in feudal China. The nature of his cultural identity is to highlight the individual sensibility and pursue the life with emotion and love. Retrospection of ole lover, missing and admiring the beauty constitute the important factors to compensate the frustration of losing homeland when drifting and wandering when he travels; in the meantime, it also shows the retreating consciousness of being addicted to sensibility and incapable of establishing life values. |
