平淡，宋人有意追求的詩境，也是論及梅堯臣詩風的重心，然而面對中年喪偶的死別，生命消逝的哀慟，如何平淡？在宋詩尚素的創作意識下，何以抒情？本文即以此作為問題的起點，考察梅堯臣二十餘篇的傷悼之作，結合悼亡詩的傳統，釐清其通與變的進展情況，提出梅氏以「意脈的暢達」、「追憶的點染」及「虛實的張力」等表現手法，使其悼亡詩在承繼前人之餘，開創出個人的抒情特點。

Pingdan, or simplicity and plainness, is the ideal of the artists, including Mei Yaochen, in the Song Dynasty. However, how could an artistic remain plain or pedestrian in his works in the face of bereavement and deaths of his loved ones? Based on this research question, this study set out to investigate over 20 Mei's mourning poems and analyzed how Mei Yaochen continued and transformed the traditional pattern of mourning poems and expressed his affection with his own literary techniques such as-coherence in meaning, recollection as the theme, changing between reality and imagination.
