桑世昌所編《回文類聚》中載入據傳為蘇東坡首創「以意寫圖，令人自悟」的神智體詩，後世援引代不乏人，雖能揭其旨趣，但多未敷演細論。本文撰作目的，先期釐清神智體詩的義界，繼而說明其流衍情形，再以實際詩例觀照整理出神智體詩的結構特徵與寫作原則，最後探討其意義及衍生價值，期能對神智體詩有更深切的認知。

The study aims to explore Shenzhi Poetry, a witty literary style based on the changeable shape of Chinese characters. Su Shi, the literatus of Song Dynasty, was believed to be the creator of this kind of poetry. In Sang Shichang’s Categorized Collection of Palindrome Poetry, Shenzhi Poetry was described as “readers understand the poems by their visual experiences on Chinese characters,” which has been cited in many literary works throughout the history. However, this description could only reflect the objective of Shenzhi Poetry, on which people had no further comments. Therefore, this paper firstly defines the meaning and scope of Shenzhi Poetry and its history. Next, the structure and principle in writing are identified and shown with examples. Then, Shenzhi Poetry’s significance and its derived value are discussed in this paper.
