晚清詞人周閑（1820-1875），存詞三卷，就寫作年代推算，可知此三卷詞正保存了道光年間其親身參與鴉片戰爭時期的作品，這些詞作不僅周閑自詡「別具一種面目」，其成就更為近代學者嚴迪昌所盛讚，以為足可與「詩史」型的詩人貝青喬（1810-1863）並駕齊驅。故筆者擬以詞人於鴉片戰爭時期，實際參與浙東戰事之詞作為研究範疇，探析詞作內容及情感表現，對應戰爭發展的歷程及事件，考索詞中書寫的特定背景及其所蘊含之內在深意，由此驗證詞體所具備的美感特質，足以令親臨陣線的詞人將過程中的所見所聞所感，寄託於詞體創作，不僅抒己之懷，同時也真實反映了這些特定的歷史事件。

Zhou Xian was born in Jiaxing in 1821 and passed away in 1875. During the First Opium War, Zhou Xian served his country along the coast of East Zhejiang, and he wrote Ci for it. These works are good examples of historical Ci. Compared with the idea of historical poems, the idea of historical Ci is proposed by Zhou Ji, who thought that Ci should not only focus on the descriptions of scenery but also reflect the changes of current situations. Based on the historical facts, the current research intends to analyze Zhou Xian’s works on the First Opium War to see whether Ci can fully represent an author’s reflection on a historical event.
