The teaching of the Six Classics is important for people to gain an insight into Confucian literary theory and its significance,and it has a profound influence on the discourse construction of Confucian literary theory.First of all，the consciousness of Confucian classics established the supreme principles of Confucian literary theory Zongjing'(to follow the Confucian classics)，'Zhengsheng'(to consult the Confucian sage) and 'Mingtao'(to be back to the Confucian Tao).That is why the Confucians dedicated themselves to proving the oneness and coherence of 'Tao'，the Sage'and 'the Classics',and to extracting the stylistic characteristics and text structure by analyzing the texts of the Six Classics.Secondly，'Lixiang Jinyi'(showing images to expound meanings)，'Zhiren Lunshi'(researching the social background in order to make a comment on a person)，'Yiyi Nizhi'(going against the Will via the senses)，and 'Zhiyan Yangqi'(storing up Chi in order to understand words) formed the basic framework of Confucian classical hermeneutics，transformed the values of the Six Classics，and enlightened people to make sense of the artistic essence and construction of literary theory.Finally，the teaching of the Six Classics regulated the value orientation of the Confucian literary theory.In this sense，literature and art could be regarded as an aid，a medium and an approach to make a person a true man.Its cultural function is to create individuals with a moral and rational balance between reason and emotion.
