孫德謙著《六朝麗指》，極力推崇六朝文為典範，以彰顯六朝駢文應有的地位，其中「氣韻」正是最為凸顯的美學特徵，也是全書文學論述的核心觀點之一。他不僅提出六朝文重氣韻的整體美感現象，也根據實際文例分析氣韻的創作重點及表現方式，頗見其獨特觀點，這對於六朝文章體貌的理解而言，當可有些許裨益。本論文首先針對氣、韻及氣韻的意義與觀念做簡要辨析，並探討氣韻所代表的文學特質；其次根據孫德謙的觀點，分析六朝文之體貌，以具體詮釋所謂「氣韻幽閒，風神散蕩」的特質；最後則探討氣韻與句式手法之間關係，如巧用虛字，穿插於句中調節，以添動宕之美；駢散兼用，活絡純粹駢體的僵滯體式，以暢疏逸之氣；潛氣內轉，使文理於內在的開合轉折中，依然銜承自如，故文氣自能疏緩而不迫促；另外則是利用斷字訣、岔入句、足句法、收縮法等，使語意表達更有迂迴曲折的效果，以曲盡抑揚之妙。凡此足見六朝文章頗具靈動、充滿生氣的一面，對於今日重新審視六朝文學的價值而言，甚有借鑒意義，而長期以來駢體過於重視形式而導致僵滯、冗弱之評價，也可藉以獲得進一步的釐清與理解。
