仇埰早以教育名家闻名,五十以后肆力为词,为时人所称许。先后参加"仓庚"唱和,组织蓼辛词社、如社、午社,与民国主流词坛关系密切;同时,又以馀力整理乡邦词学文献,辑录《金陵词钞续编》。其词业活动是传统词人的习惯做法,且在民国"体制内派"词人中颇具代表性。在西学与新文化运动的背景下,仇埰诸人的此种活动,背后隐藏着对新文化的警惕,以及寻求文化归属的心理动因。
Qiu Cai devoted himself to the writing of Ci-poems after the age of 50,who had participated in many Ci associations such as Canggen,Liaoxin,Rushe and Wushe. Meanwhile,he was also dedicated to arranging the Ci-poetry documents about his hometown,the main result of which is Jinlingcichaoxubian. The activities of Qiu Cai are quite representative of those of the traditional Ci-poets. In the background of the influx of Western culture and the New Cultural Movement,it is advisable to have an insight into the hidden vigilance over Western culture exhibited by Qiu Cai and like-minded Ci-poets and the psychological motivation behind their pursuit of a sense of cultural belonging.
