本篇從多方面探討陶淵明的「無絃琴」，全文分二部份：壹、“不解音聲”及“不解音律”的疑問，貳、關於“無絃琴”的問題。將歷來學者對以上問題的看法，作了多方面的整理分析，從而得到一些明晰的概念。並且從音樂藝術本位的立場，嘗試將陶淵明的“無絃琴”從玄奧的解說中釋放出來，給予人性化的真實境地的詮釋，以期更接近陶淵明的生活世界及精神領域。

　　　　　I endeavor to researth Tao, Yuan-Ming's Chinese Lute Without Strings from many aspects in this article, of which there are two parts: (1)The question of "Tao, Yuan-Ming knows nothings of music", (2)The Question of "Chinese Lute Without Strings". I analyze the two parts clearly after the research of various views of scholars in history to get an thorough understanding. I try to make a human approach and explanation on Tao, Yuan-Ming's Chinese Lute Without Strings from the essentials of music and art to free the bond of the legend and be nearer to the spirit of Tao, Yuan-ming.
