論文聲明 拙文有感道家思想從漢末復興，至魏晉之大放異彩，當中包含著衆多影響因素。從漢末的政局動盪，環境不斷的影響著「人」，「人」也不斷地影響環境，生命意義便成爲文、史、哲的重要組成部分。追溯思潮演變的過程，從獨尊儒學至漢末道家之極盛，生命意義的取向，包括著生活、生命、生存的認知，決定著「人」的精神本體，帶領著文學思路的發展，再構成一個群體的文化風氣。鄴下集團的文學創作，標示著新時代的來臨，從曹操於文學上的承先啓後；曹丕的道家濃郁，其賦蘊涵著莊騷味兒；及曹植的仕途坎坷，流露著啖啖凄婉，觸類而作的佳品。三曹的領導地位，如何從作品中一窺道家思想的色彩，以致影響當時及後的文學思路的發展，於文學史上如何再定位三曹的道家影響，從三曹的文學創作中，體驗老莊的生命真諦，抒懷悲壯的豐富情感。拙文之撰述，皆爲本人之創作，幸蒙鄧教授國光吾師的悉心指導，獲益甚多，藉此衷心感謝。
