人物一旦標識以「隱逸」，即已勾勒其人格特質、社會關係等。由於它具備高度的抽象性與包容性，可視為一種文化符號，不仕為符徵，品格高潔為符旨。史傳中以「隱逸」為專題的敘事，實有助於「隱逸」的符號化。文化符號是在歷史的動態中形成，歷經時代的變遷，它的符徵及符旨亦會隨著時代調整。「隱逸」符號在六朝曾發生一次明顯的變異，本論文以范曄、沈約史傳中的隱逸敘事為對象，藉此探討六朝隱逸者在整體隱逸文化中具有承接、轉化的作用。研究方法上，本論文採用「複調結構」分析，以剖析史傳深層的意蘊。歷史的撰作並非真相的重現，史家的「前理解」始終介入敘事的進行，影響取材、塑形與敘述內容，而此前理解由時代環境因素，與個人生命經驗聚合而成。透過此分析法，不僅看到表層文字上傳達的人物形象特色，還能更深層挖掘涵蘊其中的史家意識與情感。並且由此一深層理解，反饋讀者對於兩家所述隱逸者的內涵有更確當精深的認識。在史家與作品之間的內在關係，本論文運用情結、陰影、人格面具等理論進行分析，指出范曄的自我強化，沈約的自我救贖，造就了兩種隱逸者的範式。文末，進一步析論兩種範式內蘊的意義與價值。此一研究結果，有助於澄清隱逸符號在六朝時期發生變異的具體內容，並說明范、沈所形塑的隱逸範式，為後世提供身心安頓的途徑。

“Hermitism” can be regarded as a kind of cultural symbol characterized by refusing to be an official and featured with noble and unsullied characteristics. The historical biography takes “Hermitism” as narrative subject, which is contributing to the symbolization of “Hermitism”. The cultural symbols are formed in the dynamics and go through changes and practices. The hermitism symbols underwent a remarkable transformation during the Six Dynastic and this research has shifted the focus from “To Undertake Politics or to Live Reclusively” to which is paid extensive attention to the reclusive narratives in the biographies by Fan Ye and Shen Yueh to analyze the latent polyphonic structures within them. The so-called polyphonic structures herein refer to the consciousness and emotions deep down the historians apart from the character images and features delivered literally. This research analyzed the personality traits of historians by starting with the Perspective of History along with the complexes, shadow, persona and other angles. According to the research, the reclusive narratives of Fan Ye are serving as self-reinforcement while those by Shen Yueh are functioning as self-redemption. The consciousness and emotions behind the texts make the focuses of historians on the hermitism traits varying, from which two narrative paradigms in historical biographies are developed. This research is beneficial for clarifying the concrete transformation contents with respect to hermitism symbols during Six Dynasty, which has become a way for most people to settle down their bodies and souls.
