宋代詞人柳永的生平、以及其人與其詞的評價是一個學界討論不休的問題，本文企圖由其生平及其詞相關研究入手，運用大量古代筆記、史書、方志與文集來探究柳永人生的梗概，以及其個性、寫作手法的成因，從而將柳永的生平與詞作相結合，理解他一生的遭遇及轉變。文中針對柳永家風、出生年、出生地、童年的遷徙、入京時間，以及初次進士考試、〈鶴沖天〉的寫作時間、宴遊生活與戀愛發展、婚姻、落榜、漫遊，乃至於登第情形、宦途、改官時間、晚年遭遇以及卒墓並最後官職等問題，皆有補充或發明。而後確定柳永之成熟作品出現在中晚期人生的羈旅詞中，有著雅俗相益、景真情深的特色；其人則因家風與童年成長經驗的薰陶，有著深情、任真、執著的特性，並反映在其詞中。今日對柳永及其詞的評價當由此等成熟之詞作發明，認識柳永其人，則當由其家風乃至宴遊、戀愛經驗開始。如此方得完整認識柳永，並理解其詞作的價值。最後以研究結果檢驗宋代以降歷朝文人對於柳永的評價，並探討各時代風氣對柳永其人及其詞之評價造成的影響。 Liu Yong , who is an important poet of Ci in the Sung Dynasty .
