「言志」的文學母題，從先秦到漢、晉，一直在士人的書寫文本裡驛動著，而其背後所蘊涵的意識，不外是政治態度的「仕」與「隱」。此種「仕」、「隱」的抒發，通常會有「言志」或「緣情」的模糊解讀。然而，到了蕭統《昭明文選》裡，就特別在賦體獨立出了「志」類，以與「情」類相別，而選了班固〈幽通賦〉、張衡〈思玄賦〉、〈歸田賦〉及潘岳〈閑居賦〉的這四篇賦作爲代表。故此，本文首先會討論從先秦至漢初，「言志」主題所呈現的仕隱態度及此種態度對漢代文人的不遇之影響；接著，即將重心轉到《文選》四篇賦作，以看出從〈幽通賦〉到〈思玄賦〉、〈歸田賦〉直迄〈閑居賦〉文本裡，文人對「志」的不遇，已能從出仕的奢求轉向樂土的創造，進而覓得一消解之道，來安撫寄託個人漂泊的心靈。

As a result, this article will discuss the attitudes of "shi" and "yin" and what it had brought to the intellectuals through their rough politic career Next, turn to the four writings in Zhao Ming Wen Xuan, to trace the inside about how the intellectuals turn their tough attitudes in rough politic career to a promised land out of politics and find a way to console and relieve them in the lonely soul.
