本篇論文計一冊，約十一餘萬字，主要以西方之符號學理論對李益詩做實際的剖析、 評價、一共分為六章： 第一章緒論：說明研究李益及其詩作之動機，所欲採用的方法及章節之安排。 第二章符號學的文學運用：介紹基本的符號學概念，並歸納數位符號學家及文學批評 家的學說，整理出一套批評中國古典詩的模式，以為實際批評時之標準。 第三章李益的生平及著作：考述作者生平及著作流傳之情形，作為實際批評之參考； 並將李益詩篇依內容大致分為六類，以為下兩章實際批評的基礎。 第四章李益詩剖析（一）從軍詩：實際批評李益詩作中最特出的從軍詩，並附評論。 第五章李益詩剖析（二）：分別實際批評李益之抒懷、詠史、送別、贈答、遊歷及其 他詩作。 第六章結論：前半部總評李益詩之特點及其在文學史上應占的地位；後半部則針對符 號學模式之實際應用提出個人的省思。 研究結困顯示，採用符號學式的批評方法，不但可以正確有效地閱讀詩篇，從而對詩 作本身產生較全面、深刻的了解，同時也能更進一步地認識詩篇寫作之時的文學現象 ，文學傳統及社會、文化等層面，而這方法的純熟與知識的累積，又使我們在面對新 的文學作品時，能夠提出更精確銳利的批評意見。

Among those who interpreted the poetry of Li Shang-Yin in the early Qing Dynasty, Zhu He-Ling was the one that took the lead. He interpreted the poetry of Li Shang-Yin on Qian Qian-Yi¡¦s instructions. It was a time of dynasty changes and literary inquisition, similar to the late Tang Dynasty. The poetry of Li Shang-Yin, poet of the late Tang, was ambiguous and obscure, which provided an opportunity for Zhu who was in the same situation as Li-Shang-Yin to display his commentary ability. Zhu adopted the method of ¡§zhi ren lun shi¡¨ to interpret Li¡¦s poems, which is a method of understanding a person by researching the historical background. After ¡§Explanatory Notes of the Poetry Collection of Li Yi-Shan¡¨ was published, it evoked resonance among readers. Therefore, it is now an important book for studying Li¡¦s poems. If the process of how Zhu finished the book could be understood and the essence and features of the book could be outlined and summarized, it would be beneficial for researching the poet Li Shang-Yin and his poems. This dissertation is composed of five chapters. The first chapter- introduction- contains the purpose and method of the study. The life and characteristics of Zhu and the gist of ¡§Explanatory Notes of the Poetry Collection of Li Yi-Shan¡¨ were also introduced. The second chapter-the historical background of Zhu He-ling¡¦s interpretation of Li Yi-Shan¡¦s poems-indicates that the author wrote and developed the concept of shishi (¸Ö¥v) and bixin (¤ñ¿³) under the influence of the political and social environment and the academic atmosphere at that time. This chapter also discusses the process of how Zhu finished the book and compares the differences in different versions in order to highlight the outcomes of Zhu¡¦s studies. In chapter three-the style and structure of ¡§Explanatory notes of the poetry collection of Li-Yi-Shan¡¨- the style and structure of the explanation, interpretation and quotation in the book were analyzed. By doing this, Zhu¡¦s devotion to interpreting Li¡¦s poems and to preserving predecessors¡¦ works could be easily seen. Chapter four-the contribution and defect of ¡§Explanatory notes of the poetry collection of Li-Yi-Shan¡¨-depicts the contribution and defect of the book for those who study Li Shang-Yin¡¦s poems. Chapter five-conclusion- summarizes the main ideas from chapter two to four in the hope that the whole picture of ¡§Explanatory notes of the poetry collection of Li-Yi-Shan¡¨ could be understood.
