Abstract: "Guan Ge" is a political institution in the North Song Dynasty developed from the old system of Wen Guan in the Tang Dynasty with the functions of promoting culture and education, storing talents, and gathering books. Ouyang Xiu's official career started with the collation of the pavilions. The elegant atmosphere of the pavilions shaped Ouyang Xiu's personality of advocating "elegance", established Ouyang Xiu's implicit and elegant style of Ci, and finally made him determine the aesthetic ideal of "elegant songs of hermit". "Leisure" includes leisure of life, leisure of politics and leisure of interest. The ideal of "Elegy" is to introduce the aesthetic requirements of poetry into CI style. This recognition of Song Ci was the product of the scholar bureaucrat's personality and the ambition of mountains and lakes in the North Song Dynasty. Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu and other scholars formed the "spirit of Guan Ge". They entered the center of power and became the masters of literary. They respected the gentle and elegant style of Ci and promoted the elegance of Song Ci.

Key words: Guan Ge, Ouyang Xiu's Song Ci, elegant songs of hermit
