雖然阮籍藉由〈詠懷詩〉有意諷刺時事，並傳達罹謗遇禍的恐懼以及身處亂世的悲哀，但往往因為詩中詞語的隱蔽，以及比興、象徵手法的大量使用，讓人無法清楚地瞭解詩中的意旨為何。然而，即使〈詠懷詩〉八十餘篇的情感隱晦且反覆紛亂，但同樣都是阮籍心中懷抱的寫照。所以只要在詮釋解讀時，從隱幽的比喻、象徵上著手，一一地剖析分類，並加以牽屬聯繫，便能夠透過曲折的詩句，發現隱藏在背後的詩人心境與旨趣。因此本文嘗試藉由詩中反覆出現的詞語文字、比喻象徵，試圖勾勒出詩人心中的衝突與困境：志向懷抱的落空、憂愁與驚恐的逼迫、生命的無情消逝。並分析其造成孤寂憂憤的原因，一步步地探求詩人寄託心靈與尋求安頓的心路歷程。

By the way of writing “Young Huai shih”, Ruan-ji satirizes the current affairs and expresses his emotion. However, during the period of the turbulent time, this knid of behavior is easy to be persecuted. Therefore, he uses a lot of symbols and comparisons which hide his interior emotion. However, it is difficult for reads to understand the keynotes of poetry. In order to understand Ruan-ji’s emotion more deeply, this research analyzes the symbols and comparisons in “Yong Huai Shih”. According to these repeated words and imagerys, we try to look for the relation with the author’s emotion. Hopefully, we can understand the reasons for Ruan-ji’s loneliness, and the ways he gets his soul settled.
