本文旨在論述沈德潛(1673-1769)建構詩學史觀之策略及其朗現的意圖與意義。沈德潛一生有關於詩學之論著,主要有二個向度:一、編寫輯錄四部詩歌選集,二、撰寫詩話《說詩晬語》;此二向度呈示什麼樣的詩學觀點與意圖呢?蓋沈氏通過別裁諸書的選定,包括《唐詩別裁集》、《古詩源》、《明詩別裁集》、《國朝詩別裁集》四部選集,以「選詩定篇」的方式,為唐前、唐、明、清諸朝裁定詩選範本,其目的顯然是作為學詩矩範,而《說詩晬語》則以論述中國詩歌體式、源流、評騭詩家、銓品時代風格等項為主,作為論述詩學的基源;從此二面向可知沈德潛的策略擬藉由「選詩定篇」與「論述存說」雙軌並進的策略樹立自己的詩學史觀,一則以別裁諸書作為範本,一則以《說詩晬語》作為理論的根據,二者合軌,共構沈德潛的史觀,提出:尊詩騷、卑六朝、倡唐詩、貶宋詩、反明詩、正清詩的詩史觀點,而其意圖何在呢?一、本於詩教,推尊《詩經》;二、倡導唐詩,以別裁諸書作為學古法式;三,以意運法,神明變化;四、對當時詩學流派之承繼與駁議調合。整體觀之,沈德潛的詩學史觀建構在唐詩的趣向,指出時人學詩的一條路徑。
