On the basis of the comprehensive literati data in Wei, Shu Han and Wu, this thesis takes the literature in Cao Wei’s territory as the unified inspected object, opening up the dividing habit with the historical age such as Jian An and Zheng Shi as the literary boundary in literary history, with the two-lane evolution of literati ethos in Cao Wei from196to265and literary four periods and three changes as clue, systematically analyzes the associated picture of the three literary new changes caused by the four evolution of the literati ethos, exploring many weak links in current research on Three Kingdoms’literature, solving those problems such as why literary form and new style only could expand in Cao Wei’s territory, why bleak literary style of Jian An backbone of character suddenly became metaphysical talk when it enters Zheng Shi, the bud and rise of entertainment humorous literature and the feature of scrutinizing human relations’entering literary criticism in Ye Xia period, the new characteristic of Jiu Xi Wen and Quan Shan Li Wen in the course of Cao Wei’s replacing Han Dynasty, transferee view between Huang Chu literature and Tai He literature in Cao Wei, the revival of the literature of auspicious sign, praise, temple, and so on and so forth.Attempt to provide dynamic data which is foundation for reappearing the original ecology of Cao Wei literature more comprehensively and truly, and understanding the literary history of the Three Kingdoms more Comprehensively.This thesis is divided into six parts.On the basis of introduction, which defines Cao Wei literature and its time range, the standard of the Three Kingdoms literati, the literati ethos, the first chapter arranges the data sheet of the Three Kingdoms245literati’basic informations by literati standard, clearly measuring those features of the literature in every territory in the Three Kingdoms, providing the data indicators of literature is in Cao Wei, then analyzing Cao Wei Literati’hometown distribution and the characteristic of their group aggregation.On the basis of comprehensive grasp of the Three Kingdoms literati’data, locks the Cao Wei area, then takes the item that Cao Wei’s three political evolution drove the literati ethos’three transmutation and cause the literary four changes as the consistent clues, to explanate the literary new changes in Cao Wei. That is, from the second chapter, each chapter inspectes the echo between the literati ethos and literary new changes in one installment.According to this theoretical thinking; the second chapter specificly studies the literati group activities in Xu Xia, arranging the influence on Xu Xia’s literati from yue dan ping in runan county and local people’s custom of scrutinizing human relations,especially Cao Cao and Kong Rong’s partisan spirit detonates the flare-up of hero and loyalty enthusiasm by the literati after the collapse of orthodoxy, so in this period, most literati wanted to save troubled times to establish the exploits, the literary theme of advocating fidelity, plainness and hero began to appear, the fuzzy literary sense became multi-utility, old iterary form also tended to be new, thus remindered into generous desolate Jian An Feng Gu.The third chapter specificly studies the literati group activities after Cao Group migration from Xu Xia to Ye, considers that Cao Pi’s widely seeking for those women with special skills promoted the fashion of advocating proficiency in various skills in Ye Xia’s literati, and frequent tourism and feast activities by him and those literati also set off a new climax of entertainment literature and respose literature, resulting in literati’advocacy of athletics and the prosperous of entertainment poetry and rhapsody’s style of tending to gorgeous, literary style turned to be sad, playful from generous and simple before.With the influence on literati’life consciousness by the great plague in Jian An22as a perspective, the fourth chapter observes the grief about plague which highlighted in literature and the sudden rise of auspicious culture which opposed to catastrophist concept, thinking that in the course of Cao Wei’s replacing Han Dynasty, Three Cao’s respect for confucianism, theology and literature and reward and promotion of auspicious sign effectively enhanced the political utilitarian of literature, causing the rapid flourishing of auspicious literature such as express good wishes, urgeding on, topic poetry and rhapsody. Especially the first rising of jiu xi wen and quan shan li wen brought the auspicious sign from cultural phenomenon in political indoctrination as pure ceremony, making it to become the template emulated by later demise politics.The fifth chapter seizes the center of those celebrated scholar groups’ academic activities after Zheng Shi, observing the literati groups’ differentiation from their vanity’s dismissal in early Wei, to the metaphysics of illustrating confucian classics by taoist sutra of the literati in Zheng Shi, and then the bamboo forest hermits’ avoiding crisis by talking about metaphysical under the changing political situation. It can clearly be seen that because the literati ethos turned into semi-alienated state from the seeking fame by attaching to the imperial power before, the ethos of auspicious sign and praise was gradually replaced by discussion about metaphysics. The academic debate activities explaining each other between Confucianism and Taoism by those such as He Yan and Wang Bi opened up the voice of Zheng Shi.Literary style became speculative from lyric.Those speculative poems which pursue Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi’s ideal state and natural truth by Ji Kang and Ruan Ji, are the origination of later metaphysical poetry.
