Abstract: In the study of literary history there has always been the embarrassment that the explanatory system of the sequence and the definition of the “history” in turn destroys the elements of “liveliness” originally in the works. To guard against it, “primordial” theory has to be applied to trace back to the historical situation of the works in the hope of lightening the bound loss of the literaturedness. The study made by New Collection of Anecdotes of Famous Personeges of the literature of the Wei and the Jin Dynasties provides the very and scarce “primordial” visual angle.

Key words: New Collection of Anecdotes of Famous Personages, Literary history of the Wei and the Jin Dynasties, primordial visual angle
