Abstract
The Qingci were originally used in the rituals of Taoism, but during the Jiajing period, as Ming Shizong revered Taoism, those who were good at writing Qingci among the courtiers won the favour of Emperor Shizong of Ming. The Qingci were thus closely linked to the politics of the Jiajing period. The officials of those who were trusted by Emperor Ming Shizong for their best skill in writing Qingci came to the fore and caused some changes in the political climate of the time. This change began with Gu Dingchen's Bu Xu Lyrics and ended at the end of the Jiajing period. At this point, some courtiers were keen to write Qingci as a means of advancement. Xia Yan, Yan Song, Guo Pu, Yuan Wei, and Li Chunfang were among those who gained access to the Grand Secretaria, and the close connection between the writing of Qingci and the political climate of the Jiajing period is thus evident.
