「典雅」作為中國古代文學批評中風格論之重要範疇，其觀念之建構與衍化，與漢魏六朝人的文學「宗經」觀，尤其是對《詩經》之接受和詮釋可謂關係匪淺。然學者對此論題之研議，多僅聚焦在《文心雕龍》的相關內容，而於魏晉間《詩經》典雅觀之摶成過程，及其與西晉雅化詩風之交涉關係，似仍未遑細覈。本文的立論即主要著眼於此：第一部分先就魏晉以前的典雅觀念稍作爬梳，確認「雅」範疇的建立，一方面源自音樂的雅、鄭分判，一方面起於辭賦的文體批評；第二部分則從建安以迄西晉之際的時人論文之語及「仿／補《詩經》詩」之創作等兩方面，證立文學批評意義上的《詩經》典雅觀於此時業已成形；最後一節即以此為基礎，重新檢視目前學界對西晉雅化詩風流行原因的探討，冀能從文學批評觀念與文學創作的交涉互進之視角，反思側重於時代風氣之既有論述

The existing atmosphere-biased perspectives have been re-explored based on the viewpoints between Chinese literature and literary criticism
