古言六书，后明八法，于是字学、书品为二事。左图右史，画亦古义，丹青金碧，渐别为赏鉴一途。衣裳制而纂组巧，饮食造而陆海陈，踵事增华，势有驯致。然均与文史相出入，要为艺事之首也。琴本雅音，旧列乐部，后世俗工拨捩，率造新声，非复清庙生民之奏，是特一技耳。摹印本六体之一，自汉白玄朱，务矜镌刻，与《小学》远矣。射义投壶，载于《戴记》，诸家所述，亦事异体经。均退列艺术，于义差允。至于谱博奕，谕歌舞，名品纷繁，事皆琐屑，亦并为一类，统曰杂技焉。
艺术类下分四属：
书画之属：凡论书法，画法的书入本类，如《古画品录》、《书品》、《书诀》等。
琴谱之属：弹琴的乐谱及论琴的书入本类。如《琴史》、《琴谱全壁》等。
纂刻之属：凡汇集古印、印谱、论印之休例及品题篆刻印章的书入本类，如《印典》等。
杂技之属：凡讲博奕、歌舞、射法、投壶的书入本类。如《乐府杂录》。
