文學藝術是生活的反應，兩漢以前，文學藝術樣式除了詩歌與散文外，辭賦的出現，使得先秦兩漢的藝術寶庫再增添了一種文體。漢賦是賦家們創造一種適應大漢帝國所需要的文學藝術形式，一種韻散參半的文體，它濃妝豔抹、鋪張揚厲；它吸取了詩歌的韻律美，吸取了散文的靈活與自由；它壟斷了兩漢四百年的文壇；它更以其藝術感染力博得後人之重視。六朝的駢賦，唐代的律賦，宋代的文賦，明清的股賦，都是在它的哺育下產生的；六朝的駢儷，唐代的四六文，也是在它的影響下興起的。 就內容而言，漢賦反映了漢帝國大統一的歷史風貌，展現了祖國壯麗的山河、高超的建築和精湛的藝術；六朝賦則真實反映了六朝士人的精神風貌，展現了個體生命在現實生活中的豐富感受；唐賦直接揭露了人民與統治者的對立，注意普通人民的生活與思想感情；宋賦致力於人生態度和心靈境界的創造；明賦反映民生的疾苦，揭露朝廷腐敗；清賦則表現了愛國主義思想與民族自尊心。 就藝術技巧而言，辭賦之誇張手法、對偶音律、形象構思、描繪鋪陳、典故運用等表現手法，對後代文學藝術的發展繁榮，提供了最佳的藝術借鑑，舉凡詩、詞、曲、文章、小說、俗文學等文學體裁與文學理論，莫不蒙受詞賦之影響。辭賦在中國文學上確實占有重要地位，它對文學的其他領域不僅提供了豐富的藝術經驗；它也為我們認識中國古代社會的政治、經濟、音樂、書法、繪畫、建築、園林、百戲雜技、民俗風情等，提供了彌足珍貴的資料。由於學者們論及辭賦之價值，或就漢賦，或就六朝賦作部分之陳述，實未能彰顯中國辭賦之地位，因此本論文擬重新審視，藉以突顯中國辭賦之文學地位與影響。
