Abstract: By studying all kinds of quotations of The Book of Songs in various articles that come from the Whole Articles of Three Kingdoms，this paper puts forward that there are mainly four aspects which show the literary turn of The Book of Songs.First，being different from the study on The Book of Songs aiming at political admonition in Han Dynasty，the quotation of The Book of Songs in articles of Three Kingdoms became a kind of literary technique that can strengthen the expressive force of works.Second，some historical figures that were admired in The Book of Songs became aesthetic symbols.Some words which were rested on deep meanings became idioms which were full of emotional color.Third，the authors of articles of Three Kingdoms integrated personal emotion and experiences into the Classicists’ interpretations on The Book of Songs.Fourth，the authors of articles of Three Kingdoms got rid of the tradition which was regarded The Book of Songs as Confucian Classic，and applied their own interpretations on The Book of Songs to their articles，and used some poems as literary allusions.From these facts，we can conclude that the literary turn occurred on the study of The Book of Songs in the Three Kingdoms，which blended into the trend of the literary self consciousness in Wei Dynasty.

Key words: The Whole Articles of Three Kingdoms, the study on The Book of Songs, Confucian classics, literary turn, literary selfconsciousness
