自曹魏至東晉選擇各時期具代表性之文人加以探究，本課程以「文人」而非「文學」為研討對象，乃因尚須加入文人所處歷史、思想與文化現象等要素綜合研究。從個別文人的作品、思想、處世等方面探究其個人特質與時代意義，進而評價其於文學與思想史之地位。

From the Cao Wei Dynasty to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, representative literati from each period are selected to study. This course takes "literati" rather than "literature" as the research object because it is necessary to include the history, thought and cultural phenomena of the literati in a comprehensive study. Explore the personal characteristics and significance of the times from the works, thoughts, and life of individual literati, and then evaluate their status in the history of literature and thought.
