中國的「物感說」強調人的情感總是為「物」所影響而產生波動，然而，在中國文學傳統重視「情的節制」的思考取向中，「物感說」真正的內涵有什麼樣的質素，可以使它棲身於「情的節制」的思考脈絡中被肯定？循此一問題意識出發，本文主要從情的節制的角度，探討「四時」在「物感說」中的深層意義。本文擬從以下幾個層面探究此一問題：一、呼應情的節制的傳統：探究「物感説」要求節制情性的思考。二、四時的特性：在「盛衰無常」中涵蘊「規律與節奏」，探討「四時」與「情的節制」相互呼應的內涵。三、從四時之「氣」的感知：蘊含「順天應道」之理，論述「四時」中關涉「情的節制」的理念。四、說明「物感説」中「感」的方式：搖蕩、滲透的交互感知。透過這些層面的討論，可以看到四時及其節氣在「物感說」裡，表面上是觸動人心使其有所感發的媒介，但是本質上卻隱含著使人順任天道並節制情性的特質。

The ＂Wu Gan Shuo＂ of Chinese Stress that Human emotion is always affected by the ＂things＂. However, there must have some special qualities in the ＂Wu Gan Shuo＂ which protect it to survive in a mainstream value of feeling control in Chinese tradition. Base on above inquiries, this plan try to explore the in-depth significance of seasons in the ＂Wu Gan Shuo＂, from the perspective of feeling control. This plan try to study this theme from several various aspects. First, we will explore the thought about requiring the feeling restraint in the ＂Wu Gan Shuo＂. Secondly, from the angle of time consciousness in the seasos, we believe that, while there always have impermanent features in the seasons, but it also have the regularity and rhythm in them. Thirdly, we need to search the perception of ＂Qi＂ in seasons, because it have the reason of conforming the Heaven. Fourth, the perceived way in the ＂Wu Gan Shuo＂：the interactive perception of sway and penetration. To sum up, in the ＂Wu Gan Shuo＂, we can see that while the seasons and ＂Jie Qi＂ are the media that always move human heart, but it implied the properties of conforming the heaven and would lead people to control emotions.
