作為先秦顯學之一的墨家，在倫理、政治、經濟等各方面都有其獨特的見解，而其文藝觀具體顯示在〈非樂〉等文。本文在前輩學者研究 的基礎上，企圖爬梳整理關於墨子文藝觀的幾個相關問題。首先，墨子非樂，究竟對音樂本身直接的否定，抑或是其他？其次，墨子之非樂， 所非的究竟是指繁樂、所有的音樂，或是指涉一切衣食住行諸方面的享樂？此外，墨子的非樂與其文藝觀存在著什麼關係？是否能夠考察出墨 子文藝觀與他強調先質後文、注重論辯等態度有著啟示的作用？都是本文企圖觀察整理的。

Being one of the prominent teachings in the Chou Dynasty, the Mohists have their distinguishing perspectives in ethics, politics, economics, and so on. The Mohist's literary view is demonstrated in the chapter of "Scarcity of Music". In this article, I take studies of former scholars as references and attempt to clarify several questions that are related to the literary views in The Mohist. In the very beginning, I want to discuss whether the concept of scarcity of music in The Mohist is to disclaim the status of music or does it have other intentions? Secondly, what does "music" in the "Scarcity of Music" mean? Does it mean to resist the superfluous music, or to resist all kinds of music, or does it refer to sundry entertainment in human beings' dally life? Besides, I also want to identify what is the relationship between The concept of the scarcity of music and the literary views in The Mohist. Does the Mohists' literary view affect their emphasis on quality rather than the meretricious appearance and emphasis on dispute? These are the points in this article.
