Han literature achieves eminently in ancient Korea, in which a lot of Han writers play an important role in Chinese ancient history of literature. However, according the orthodox Korean ancient history of literature, the recorded Han writers are mostly male. In fact, there are a lot of unknown Han literature creators who are female besides those male Han writers. Most importantly, the Han poets that they created have much value and those literature works also contribute a lot to the prosperity of ancient Korean literature.In recently years, many literature investigators turn their view to those female Han literature creators, "female literature" emerges in all kinds of academic articles, there arise more studies on ancient Korean female literature. Ancient female Koreans create a lot of rich and varied literary works in hard situation, their partings and reunions, their joys and sorrows all emerge in their work, their creative works are just like the wild flowers, though having no charming fragrant, while decorating our life. Strictly speaking , the Han poetry of ancient Korean females were not really "female literature", nowadays in such a feminism-prosperous time, the study on Han poetry of ancient Korean female does not apply to the critic angle of feminism. What we see today is that the value of ancient Korean female Han poetry is their existence, though a brink one,we can not ignore it, for they are also precious wealth the ancient Koreans have left to us.This article begins with versions of ancient Korean female Han poetry, giving a systematic review of those Han poetry, including the social situation of ancient Korean females, the causes of their creation, specific state of affairs for their creation and the social cultural background inflected in their works, hoping there will be a big leap based on the previous studies.There are five chapters in the article. The first chapter "Literary Choices of Ancient Korean Females" mainly focuses on the social status of ancient Korean females and the psychological factors of pursuing literature creation in such social pressure. For ancient Korean females are confined to families, they have a fixed oppressed position from birth to death, so they have no chance to express their sorrows, thus literary creations become the only way to pour out their feelings and sorrows; The second chapter "The Grieve Feature of Ancient Korean Female's Han Poetry" focuses the overall sentimental feature of their creation, that is grievance. The forming of this feature has its own history. There is a sentimental feature in the whole creation of Korean literature, while there is a big difference in its connotation between the male and the female creation; The third chapter "Han Poetry Creation of Ancient Korean Females" makes an overall review of Han poetry creation of ancientKorean females, including wife literature, concubine literature, prostitute literature, imperial and other literary creation according to different social status of creators. Also I give some illustrations of the major studies on Han poetry creation of ancient Korean females; The fourth chapter "Aesthetic Focus on Han Poetry Creation of Ancient Korean Females" studies those aesthetic image which always appeared in ancient literary works, like Chinese plum flower, night, boudoir, boat, moonlight, so on and so forth. These distinctive aesthetic angles reflect female's unique aesthetic culture, in which also represents their peculiar psychological pursue; The fifth chapter is "Cultural Reflection on Han Poetry Creation of Ancient Korean Females". Though the thought of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism all develop well in ancient Korea, the education the Korean females receive mainly refer to Confucianism, which holds a deep-seated place in their minds, this forms their similar way of thinking, thus representing a Confucian art style in creation.During the research, this article take ancient Sino-Korean documents as basis besides referring to nowadays foreign research, trying to study ancient Korean females from multi-angles and applying multi-approaches, giving concerns from aesthetics, art and literary criticism and stylistics. It also utilizes traditional literary criticism, theory of comparative literature and positive approaches, trying to bring forth new ideas basing on fruit of former studies.There already got a lot of achievements due to the former study on ancient Korean females, however, these investigations just give a simple sorting out on works of ancient Korean females, of which need a deep research, at the same time almost all the achievements were written in Korean, which set a big barrier to those who don't know Korean and do not familiar with ancient Korean literature. This article makes a compensation for this, especially on cultural reflection of Han poetry, aesthetic objects of ancient Korean females, and also on a systematic introduction to those unknown female poets, which in my opinion will play an important role to study of ancient Korean females in future and is an innovative point of this article.
