Abstract:In the past, phases of Ci in Ming Dynasty had been discussed hotly, but there was no final conclusion. Even scholars who are not researching on Ming Ci, were still involved in discussing these phases slightly, because of their attentions on the whole history of Ci literature. Along with the study arisen in the past ten years, the discussion of phases of Ci in Ming Dynasty gradually reached its high tide. In such a positive situation, the author would propose some thinking and methods, like “limited with region’’ and “limited with year”, “phase principle" and "phase reason", “shape division” and “chain division”, etc. In this foundation, proposing new phases of Ci in Ming Dynasty——"six divisions", which will be divided into six times: Transition, Silence, Brewing, Renaissance, Climax and Flourishing.
