Abstract:

From the two dimensions of the authors and texts, we can find that the collections of ci poems written by female poets in the Republic of China have particular features. In terms of geographical distribution of these female poets, they were mainly from the south of the Yangtze River, especially Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces. However, they moved to other places to pursue their learning, hunt jobs, seek asylum, move with their family who took office away from their hometowns or participate in revolution. These female poets had diversified identities:daughters of officials, women with literary talent from ordinary families, journalists, teachers(scholars) and so on. In addition, some of them also had different identities at the same time. From the perspective of the texts, their works are aesthetically full of "inspiring expression" with both elegance and vulgar tastes.

Key words: the Republic of China, collections of ci poems by female poets, geographical distribution, identities, text
