"Wenxin Diaolong" did not hold much significance during its time, but it gradually caught the attention of scholars from the mid-Ming Dynasty onwards. Since then, its status has continuously risen, becoming not only a must-read work for Chinese literature students in domestic universities but also highly esteemed in the field of Sinology abroad. Mr. Shi Youzhong's English translation of the book was published thirty years ago. The reason for its high regard lies primarily in its comprehensive coverage of various topics and its highly standardized presentation, which differs significantly from traditional literary theories. In the context of the Western influence at the time, it seems to be a more commendable treatise on literary theory from China (although Zhong Rong's "Shipin" is also a monograph, it only focuses on poetry).
As a treatise on literary theory, the book naturally references many earlier authors and works, influenced by the writing styles prevalent at the time. The entire book is written in parallel prose (bianli ju), and it frequently incorporates phrases from ancient texts. For those unfamiliar with works from before the Qi and Liang dynasties and the writing conventions of the Six Dynasties, reading the book may present some linguistic barriers. However, after reading several chapters, it becomes apparent that the literal comprehension is not difficult. The real challenge lies in understanding the true implications of the language used.
Regardless of the brilliance of its insights, if one wants to have a fundamental understanding of medieval Chinese literature, "Wenxuan" and "Wenxin Diaolong" are two essential books to read, as they both embody the essence of their respective eras. Nevertheless, it is regrettable that our department has not formally offered a course on this subject, which is a disservice to the students. Therefore, we are now rectifying this and making up for this deficiency in our curriculum.

教學方式
Teaching Method
單方面講授。所選各篇不一定從頭到尾講完，如此才可能在有限的一學期中盡量將該書重點大致講到。
因此，同學務必將教員提到、但未講的部分自行根據註解，仔細閱讀。另外，講某一篇時，會參看該書相關部分，以便令其論點清晰，如果有時間，也會參看六朝（特別是齊、梁時期）其他人的文論，作為對照。
教學進度
Syllabus
首先結合《梁書‧劉勰傳》講〈序志〉，然後就從該書開頭、也是他文論的基點：〈原道〉、〈徵聖〉、〈宗經〉、〈辨騷〉講解。再下去，進入該書下半，〈體性〉、〈定勢〉、〈通變〉、〈情采〉、〈知音〉是必講的部分。〈養氣〉、〈總術〉〈時序〉、〈詮賦〉、〈神思〉當中的部分段落，如果時間許可，也會提到。
