「想像的系譜」是筆者歸納出的詞彙，用來指稱中國古典文論中獨特的「文學系譜」建構。本文舉摘歷代詩話中提到「六朝文學系譜」的段落進行歸納與討論。宋代以降，詩話蓬勃發展，成爲中國詩學「理論化」、「學術化」的重要指標。然而「理論化」並不等同於精確；「學術化」也不代表絕對客觀。文論家在分判風格與源流等相關問題時，難免會出於主觀、或依據其主觀的邏輯來作爲某一作家作品追本溯源的依據。在這樣的過程中，早期形成共識的文學系譜被後來的文論所接納，但接納時含有「修正」，早期較不可信的文學系譜則遭駁斥，但駁斥時隱含「重構」。古典文學理論體系，就在此修正與重構中生成。而本文旨在探討此文學理論間的相同與矛盾之處，故筆者根據清代編成的四本詩話總集中篩選出的百餘條有關「六朝文學系譜」的段落，並將之分爲「風格系譜」、「理論系譜」、「章句系譜」、「體類系譜」四類，並嘗試觀察這些相似或不同的「文學系譜」中找出共通面向，並由此理解歷代文學理論家建構系譜的動機、心態與成果。

I bring up the term "imagined genealogy" based on the "imagined subjectivity" theory. And I already constructed this concept and indicated how pervasive "Genealogy" is in Chinese literature theories. The "Shi-Hua" has begun prolifically after Song Dynasty. However, "Shi-Hua" approaches texts more and more subjectively, haphazardly or imaginarily. In the view of the Chinese literature theorists, they are objective and societal. This is what this article questions. This article selects and adopts the strategy of "discourse of the discourse," and discourse of sources of styles theory in Six-dynasty from "Shi-Hua in all the Past Dynasties." This paper further differentiates between the "Style Genealogy," "Theory Genealogy," "Vocabulary Genealogy" and "Genre Genealogy." Based on the statement of exploring genealogy, I purpose to unearth the neglected territory in the Chinese literature theorists.
