王船山詩歌美學在本質上融合言志、緣情二派之不同立場，體系完整，立論深刻，值得深入研究。本文從較少人注意之「元聲」一詞，作為研究進路，考察船山之「元聲」義，原係指作家之真實生命人格，及能清暢表現於文學作品之中。故其在詩論中之運用，約有四端，一是指具備真誠生命之作家人格，二為具經典意義，足供後人楷式之文學作品，三是創作過程自然流暢，其聲情、神理俱臻佳境，能動人興觀群怨之作品；四是作家人格及作品與天化流行渾融為一體者。本文之研究步驟，其一，說明本文旨趣及研究面向；其二，掌握船山氣論哲學之特點，追溯「元聲」之詞義，闡明其歷史淵源及在理學發展過程中意義之轉換，藉以呈顯船山對「元聲」所賦予之深刻內涵。其三，探討「元聲」在船山著作中之運用，實具關鍵地位，並析述其在詩歌理論中之分際，及其內涵意義。其四，探究「元聲」思想在船山詩學體系中表述之情形，及在詩歌評選上之運用，進而略論其與作者性情及作品風格造詣之整體關連。 The Aesthetics of Wang Fu-Zhi's poem commentary compounded two factors: the will and the affection.
