摘要：

創作者自覺到「詩名」對於個體生命的意義，並且產生廣泛的社會影響，在中唐時期是一新形成的現象，不僅表現在詩篇傳播的快速、廣泛；也體現於對知名詩人的讚譽崇拜。本文則著重討論晚唐時期的變化，「詩名」成為詩人不斷強調的社會價值與文學資本。這種觀念與科場競名的士林風氣密切相關。而晚唐詩人作品中不斷出現「文章聲價」、「文章聲名」相關的表述，已非單純的創作論，而是涉及主體與社會之間更深刻的變化發展。為了闡明「詩名」在晚唐的意涵轉變，本文先考察晚唐之前，文學場域對於詩歌聲名的認識，以及科舉場域爭名、重名風氣對當時詩人的影響。進而說明晚唐詩人對於「詩名」的追求意識，最後闡述晚唐詩人「以詩不朽」觀念的表述。

關鍵詞：不朽、社會、晚唐、詩名
