南宋詞人張炎對吳文英的接受狀況，可由其論詞專著《詞源》和其三首詞作中得之。後世論此者多半投注心力在張炎的「清空、質實」說上，鮮少從詞作加以討論。本文則以詞作為本探究之，分別從張炎對夢窗詞作的學習仿效，與其對夢窗詞批評的態度，以及對夢窗清客生涯的感慨三節展開論述。本文認為張炎對夢窗的接受並非僅從文本得來的空泛印象，張炎對吳文英實具有賞識以及憐憫的情懷在。

The acceptance of Wu wen-yin, a composer of Ci poetry in the Southern Song Dynasty, which can be learned from Zhang Yan’s monograph on Ci poetry “The Origins of Ci poetry”and his three Ci poems. But a lot of scholars have focused on his concepts of ”Qingkong and Zhishi” since it was put forward, they seldom discussed the acceptance of Meng Chuang and his Ci poetry for Zhang Yan from his three Ci poems. This paper is based on those Ci poems, consisted of three chapters including what had Zang Yan learned form Meng Chuang’s Ci poems, his criticisms about Meng Chuang’s Ci poems, and his sympathy for Meng Chuang to live as a led captain. The conclusion of this paper is that beyond a vain impression only coming form the text, the acceptance of Wu wen-ying for Zang Yan is full of sympathy and admiration.
