劉勰的風格論，為當前研究文心雕龍的學者所樂道。本文所以命名為「新探」，其內容和一般人的說法最大不同點，是我首先掌握了劉勰風格論的主導思想，為他持以說明的風格形成的因素和類型，找到學理上的依據；其次，我認為文學風格不是單獨存在的個體，它往往和時代與作家息息相關，因此，我又從風格論的定點上，進一步根據劉勰的說法，來透視時代文風和作品風格的真象。由以上兩個觀點建構完成的個人之見，希望能有助於讀者對「劉勰文心雕龍風格論」的了解。

The stylistics of Liu Hsieh is discussed greatly by the scholars who research into The Lit-erary Mind and Carving of Dragons . The reason why I name this article "New Research" is because its contents are different from general ideas. First, I grasp the main idea of Liu Hsieh's stylistics and find the theoretical base for the elements and types which he used to explain the formation of style. Second, I do not think literary style exists alone; it is always closely related with an era and its writers. So, from the point of stylistics according to Liu Hsieh, I go further into the turth of literary style in an era and of writers. I hope my personal opinions consisting of the two respectives above can enhance readers' understanding on the stylistics of The Literary Mind and Carving of Dragons by Liu Hsieh.
