辞赋名篇。西汉司马相如作。《文选》见载。赋序说汉武帝皇后陈阿娇因妒失宠,幽居长门宫,遂以重金请司马相如作赋,希图感动武帝,武帝读赋后复宠阿娇。古今一些学者据序中“孝武皇帝”谥号之起期晚于作者卒年,及“陈皇后复得亲幸”不符史实等,推断此赋为他人托名所作;但也有不少学者认为赋序或为托名者作,而赋的正文则“非相如不能作”(张惠言《七十家赋钞》)。文章首先推出一位精魂踰佚、形体枯槁的弃妇形象,点明因夫君恩爱转移和自己过于痴情造成了这位美人独居的悲剧。继而具体描绘其内心痛苦:她“登兰台而遥望”种种自然景观,将雷鸣误作君王车声,将风动误作牵帷人;她“下兰台而周览”深宫,更是触景伤情,“怅独托于空堂”;她又在洞房清夜抚琴抒怀,历数己过,于睡梦中与君王重逢;及至醒后伫望星空,终以“不敢忘(君)”煞尾。赋题取《长门》,固与陈后失宠有关,但并不囿于历史故事,而是概括了众多宫女的遭遇与痛苦,并寄予深切同情。朱熹《楚辞后语》曰:“此文古妙,最近楚辞。”赋仿楚辞之遣词造句与表现手法,具有浓郁的抒情色彩和“以悲为美”的特征。尤善刻画心理,以实写虚,利用景物特征表现主人公的内心世界,委婉曲折,悲悽动人,在抒情小赋中
