There are many researches on themes relating to love between human and the god. However, those papers involve only specific times or works on the themes, such as research on the myth of the birth, Qu Yuan and Song Yu, the goddess image as well as Luoshen Fu, etc. These researches can all be classified among the scope of themes relating to love between human and the god, but there are fewer researches relating to the evolution process thereof. Hence, in this paper, the evolution process of themes relating to love between human and the god in Chinese Literature is analyzed as a trial.In the paper, it is believed that the essential features as well as typical frameworks of themes relating to love between human and the god in Six Dynasties have been completed, which have laid foundation for the succeeding works. Therefore, starting from the pre-Qin period to Six Dynasties, the development history thereof is discussed in the paper. The whole article is divided into three chapters.In the first chapter, themes relating to love between human and the god in the pre-Qin period is analyzed, including the myth of the birth, Qu Yuan. The transcendence ability possessed by god in the myth of the birth has somehow declined through Qu Yuan’s description, while their beautiful features are emphasized. As one of the major features for themes relating to love between human and the god, the typical structure of "acquaintance, love and marriage, parting" has already turned up during Qu Yuan period.In the second chapter, the works as well as connotation & thoughts relating to the themes thereof are summarized, in which the most remarkable features are shown as follows:1) two outstanding works, namely Gaotang Fu as well as Shennv Fu appears at this time; 2) wide-range emergence of the myth of the birth; 3) show-up of themes relating to love between human and the god. Among the works, despite of the controversy about the creation period for Gaotang Fu and Shennv Fu, they are still classified into the literature in Han Dynasty based on their literary style and carrier. In the third chapter, themes relating to love between human and the god in Six Dynasties are discussed. The works thereof can be classified into two categories:ci-fu and Chinese SupernaturalThe former tends to imply the way of expressing emotion as man of letters, in which the realistic world and the dreams at that age can be naturally reflected. On the contrary, stories relating to love between human and the god represented by Soushen Ji are endowed with folk color, thus reserving the early form of the love mentioned. Among the chapters, there is always connotation shown in themes relating to love between human and the god in individual ages.
