Jiang Kui's only complete Song Dynasty Ci tune work in modern times was "Sapphire Case·Yuanxi." This poem was written by Jiang Kui during the Southern Song Dynasty.

The simple and beautiful language, sincere and deep feelings of the word became one of the classics of Song Ci and the only complete Song Ci tune works in modern times.
The tunes of Song Ci had many characteristics. From the point of view of Ci, such as "Huanxi Sha","Shuidiao Ge Tou","Zhegu Tian","Pusaman","Xijiang Yue","Manjiang Hong" and so on were more commonly used Ci tunes at that time. These tunes were popular because the melodies were popular, the temperament was not too complicated, the length was moderate, and the lyrics were easier to write. At that time, there were musical instruments accompanying the Song Ci, such as pipa, guzheng, flute, and other musical instruments. The singer would choose the appropriate tune and rhythm according to the content and emotion of the Song Ci, and express the emotion in the lyrics through the change of voice, cadence, and the ups and downs of the music. However, due to the age, most of the music at that time had been lost. Today, only the remaining lyrics and other aspects can be used to speculate about the situation of the melody at that time.

Yan Song was the famous "Qing Ci Prime Minister" of the Ming Dynasty. Green Ci was a memorial to the heavens when Taoism held a fasting ceremony. It was a parallel style. Emperor Jiajing believed in Taoism and was keen to pray to heaven with "green Ci". Every time there was a fasting ceremony in the palace, he ordered the Ci minister to draft such sacrificial articles written on green vine paper with red pen. Yan Song's meticulously concocted Qing Ci was mostly grotesque superstition, crafty flattery, but it was very suitable for Emperor Jiajing's mind. Most of the poems written by other scholars did not conform to the emperor's will. Only Yan Song's "most suitable for the emperor's will" was praised by the emperor.
