“秦文学”在学界研究中显得比较薄弱,各类文学史都未对其有一个独立、多面的论述。针对这种状况,有必要对“秦文学”进行整体考察。秦早期文学按时段分,属于襄公以前(含襄公)时期的文学,这是“秦文学”的草创时期,地域上主要分布在西汉水流域或渭水—牛头河流域;其后的春秋、战国时期是“秦文学”的中期,即秦中期文学,此期文学呈现一种不平衡现象,文公以后的春秋时期文学作品比较多,且以四言诗为主;“秦文学”的晚期伴随着秦王朝始终,由于当时政治和社会的诸种原因,文学成就式微,李斯文和刻石文成为代表,而出土文献,因行政和实用等因素文学价值不高。随着考古新发现和研究的进展,“秦文学”将取得和它实际状况相应的文学史地位。 “Qin literature ” appears relatively weak in academic research, all kinds of literary history did not have an independent, multifaceted exposition. In view of this situation, it is necessary to conduct an overall inspection on “Qin literature”. The early Qin literature was classified according to periods and belonged to the period before the Xianggong period (including Xianggong period). This was the period of grass-roots creation of “Qin literature”, which was mainly distributed in the West Han River basin or the Weishui- Warring States Period is “Qin literature ” in the middle, that is, Qin mid-term literature, this period of literature presents an imbalance in the literature after the Spring and Autumn Period literary works more, and mainly four-character poems; “Qin literature Because of the various political and social reasons, the literary achievement was minimal, Li Siwen and Shi Shiwen became representatives, and the documents unearthed because of the low administrative and practical factors such as literature value. With the progress of archaeological discoveries and research, ”Qin Literature" will acquire the status of literary history corresponding to its actual status.
