中國文學史為中文系重要必修課程之一，也是認識中國文學發展的重要路徑。本課程共分為上、下兩學期，上學期研讀的歷史斷限從先秦至魏晉南北朝，下學期則以唐代文學為主軸。期望透過文學發展流變之說明與作品賞析，使修課同學一窺中國文學博美精深之堂奧。
在期中、期末考之外，為增進同學對歷朝作品之認識，本課程將著重同學於課前與課後翻閱原典的工作，如此當可與課本所學相互印證連結，從而熟悉文學作品之概況，並培養蒐檢文獻的基本能力。Chinese literature history is one of the important compulsory courses in the Chinese department and is also an important way to recognize the development of Chinese literature. This course is divided into two periods: the upper and lower levels. The history of study in the first period was limited from the pre-Qin period to the Wei Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The next period was mainly based on literature from the Tang Dynasty. We hope to learn a profound Chinese literature class through the explanation of the development and changes of literature and the analysis of works.
In addition to mid-term and final exams, in order to improve students' understanding of their works in the North, this course will focus on the work of students who read the original text before and after the class. In this way, they can link them with the courses to familiarize themselves with the general situation of literary works and cultivate the basic ability to review literature.
中國文學史主要是研究從上古商周以來到二十世紀為止約三千年左右中國歷代文學作品發展演變的歷史過程、特點與規律。
文學史簡單的說就是文學的歷史，它的性質既是文學的，又是歷史的；研究時要具體掌握文學與歷史二個要素。研究主要對象是散文、駢文、詩歌、辭賦、小說、戲劇等各類文學作品的體裁形式、題材內容、藝術想像、表現技巧與語言風格等藝術性，運用的是文學藝術的方法；因為是文學作品發展演變的歷史過程，同時也要運用歷史的方法，依循時間的發展嬗變，既要深刻了解作品的藝術性、不同作家的獨特成就，對於形成文學發達的政治、社會、思想、文化的原因，以及對歷史的影響也要切實理解。換句話說，文學史的研究，是用歷史的方法說明文學藝術作品的真實狀況和發展過程。因為研究對象是文學作品，因此要用美學藝術的方法分析評述作品作家的價值和成就。
中國文學史學習的目的，在理解過去中國文學發展演變的特點和規律，總結經驗與教訓，認清以往的成敗得失，作為今天文學研究、文學創作的借鑒，同時深化現代文學史的研究和文學觀念的基礎。
因此，不能脫離過去歷史的因素、社會文化等各種背景，也不能忽視當代的文學觀念與美學理論，這是研究中國文學史必須把握的基本理念。
Chinese literature history mainly studies the historical process, characteristics and rules of the development and evolution of Chinese literary works from the ancient Shang and Zhou dynasties to the 20th century.
Literary history is simply the history of literature, and its nature is both literary and historical. When researching, you must have a specific grasp of the two elements of literature and history. The main research objects are the artistic characteristics of various literary works such as prose, essays, poems, writing, novels, dramas, and other artistic features, and use literary art methods; because it is the history of the development and evolution of literary works. During the process, we must also use historical methods and follow the development and evolution of time. We must not only deeply understand the artistic nature of the works and the unique achievements of different writers, but also have to understand the political, social, ideological and cultural reasons for the formation of literary development, as well as the impact on history. In other words, the study of literary history is to use historical methods to illustrate the real status and development process of literary art works. Because the research object is literary works, the value and achievements of the writers of the work should be analyzed and described using aesthetic art methods.
The purpose of Chinese literary history learning is to understand the characteristics and rules of the development and evolution of Chinese literature in the past, summarize experience and teaching, recognize the past achievements and losses, and serve as a borrowing for today's literary research and literary creation, and at the same time deepen the research on modern literary history and the foundation of literary concepts.
Therefore, we cannot remove various backgrounds such as factors of past history, social culture, etc., nor can we ignore contemporary literary concepts and aesthetic theory. This is the basic concept that must be grasped in studying Chinese literary history.
