本文以前人輯佚之第一手資料為基礎，考察現存漢魏六朝才媛的文學作品與創作活動，兼及男性文人對其作品的接受、選錄與經典建構。漢魏六朝文學經常呈現作者與群體的關係，女性之作亦不例外，故本文以「群」為論述中心，分為兩大部分：一是女性作者藉著認同、回應經典，加入「歷時性文化群體」；她們同時熟習女教文本與文士經典，認同歷史上賢女與才士典範，形成具有雙性特質的文化群體，亦與男性所建構的經典、文學傳統相互交涉。二是女性作者藉著寫作各文類社交之作，與「共時性人際群體」往來互動，折射出當時女性置身於社會群體、人際關係中的樣貌，以及對於自身性別角色、職責的意識。漢代到南朝後期，才媛之作所呈現的「女性」自我定位，亦有歷時性發展：漢晉時代才媛深受女教影響，以符合經典的道德女性形塑自我，而南朝以降，則逐漸轉向個人才辯，乃至私情的表現，知識女性與群體中「他人」的關係更為自由。最後，齊梁文人已有建構女性文學史，將其依性別歸類為一個文學群體的意圖，可惜現存資料難以進一步分析此「文學群體」的樣貌與意義。本文大致勾勒出漢魏六朝才媛之作中「群」的面向，期能裨補文學史較少論及此時期女性作者、作品，或僅重視其抒情之作的不足。

On the basis of primary data collected by previous scholars, this study investigates the literary works and creative writing activities of talented women in the Han, the Wei dynasties, and the Six Dynasties in Chinese history and the way male literati recognized, selected, and canonized these works. Literary works produced in these dynasties usually reveal the relationships between the author and the group to which he or she is affiliated. Accordingly, this study analyzes related materials with “groups” from the following two perspectives. First, female writers joined “diachronic cultural groups” by agreeing with and responding to literary canons. They mastered texts of female education and literary canons and identified themselves with historical models of virtuous women and talented men. Hence, they formed a cultural group with androgynous characteristics that related to the canons and literary conventions having been established by men. Second, female writers interacted with “synchronic interpersonal groups” by writing socialization works of various genres. These works demonstrate the actual statuses of women in their contemporary social groups, their interpersonal relationships, and their awareness of their gender roles and responsibilities. From the Han dynasty to the later periods of the Southern Dynasties, women’s self-identification also developed diachronically in this kind of works of talented women. Specifically, in the Han and the Jin dynasties, talented women were deeply influenced by female education; they created their selfidentity on the basis of the virtuous women portrayed in related canons. However, in the Southern Dynasties and subsequent periods, female writers’ self-identity gradually shifted their focuses to their individual talents, rhetoric, and even romantic relationships. The relationships between intellectual women and their affiliated social groups increasingly diversified. Literary figures in the Qi and the Liang dynasties have attempted to compile a history of female literature and regard these female writers as a literary group. Nonetheless, currently available materials lack further analysis on the actual situations and implications of this literary group. This study delineates the group-based aspects of the talented women’s works in the dynasties to complement the deficiency of discussions on the female writers in this period and their works, especially the non-lyrical ones, in the Chinese literature field.
