AbstractAbstract: Wu Yu was a well-known thinker in the time of New Culture Movement and a ci writer, whose 15 ci poems were left. Wu’s views about ci poetry research come from that of Wang Guowei, Hu Shi and Hu Yunyi, yet with his own thought. Two characters in his views of ci poetry research are obvious: one is his traditional ideas about ci poetry which called ci as “Little Skill” compared with knowledge of management; the other is his emphasis on the literary nature of ci poetry with seldom attention to the musical nature of ci poetry.
