It has few relatively systematic discussions to the literature of women in Han Dynasty, except for some specific works. Han Dynasty was the period that ancient women's literature was developed progressively, some authors have emerged who were known very well, though they left their names because of their social status,morals or anecdotes which are not the literature's factors, and a lot of immensely famous writings can't be called the real women's literature yet, it hadn't the thought environment, social terms, culture atmospheres to let general women go to write in Han Dynasty. The women had opportunities and conditions to write mostly because of the family's education and their own natural endowments. They can send out their own sounds, " my hands write my heart", really deserving praise for their excellent behaviors. They inherited and developed the content and feeling of "the Book of Songs" which the folk women song their own lives and emotions. Their writings described vivid and colorful love songs of women, dug the space of women's hidden feeling, reinforced and enriched the styles of the women's literature, and established some fundamental keys for the development of women's literature.
