The paper is composed of five sections, including preface, three body parts and conclusion.Preface includes the connotation and denotation of Gongti Poem, the creation of Yu Tai Xin Yong and the concept of Gongti literature, the importance and present study of Gongti literature in literature history, the approach with the combination of historical and logical method to the study of the creation and depression of Gongti. literature, and in a feminism view on Gongti literature. Finally, the paper presents the focus of the research.The first chapter presents the process of the prime to the depression and the stability to the ferment during the period of two Han Dynasties, Wei, Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasty. The period saw the spiritual conflicts of the scholars who witnessed the process of the prosperity and the depression, the united nation and the split. They longed for the devotion to the empire as in West Han dynasty, only to face the terror and ruin in reality. It's not easy to survive, let alone contribute to their empire. Seeing the series of bloody incidents, the scholars'mentality gradually faded away from the political ambition, seeking in landscapes or in depiction of women. Therefore, Gongti literature is created by the frustrated scholars. The beauty of grievance in voluminous poems written by male writers reflects their political complex subconsciously. Qu Yuan, the founder to poems of grievance, transferred the political complex, which for them is hard to relieve, into such poems. Owing to the importance of Qu Yuan and Chuci in Chinese literature over thousand years, the accumulation in scholars' mentality reflects it consciously and subconsciously. In fact, the traditional poems to express the scholars'ambition were not split up, but to spring up in another way for generations as time passed by. Meeting no opportunities saddened the sufferings of scholars. That time is like a boudoir. Men were in boudoir to miss the achievement of their ancestors. They were only trippers without vast unrestrained and far-ranging atmosphere, just to seek themselves into longing for the coming times. Zong Que's remarks "riding the wind to split up the waves" represent the mood of those scholars. Apparently, the admission of external environment results in relieving of their ambition.The second chapter expounds the depiction of the ideal women's figures, appearances, which indicates the chauvinism and dishonor to women. At those days, the women readers were acknowledged and curried favor with the chauvinism by admitting the depiction of women's clothing and appearance, and their soul and morality. The theories to sexes put forward that the physical difference has no great effect on the structure of sexes, while the real function on sexes is the norm of culture. Women have ever played a subordinate role in the system of sexes, and they are the oppressed. The women readers had no disagreement to those social norms, being subjected to those social norms and the slaves to men. The women readers, the elite of women, traced three ways under the rule of the chauvinism. One way was to hum their sufferings year after year, so that mental sufferings and longing for meeting with their husbands were the themes of the women literature. Second,female behave theirselves conforming to men's standard, resulting in feeling more social pressure upon female.Women elite blind to the sex discrimination is the tragedy of the whole feminine world, which makes it more difficult to change the oppressed position of women.The third chapter advances the mental sufferings of the talented women by using the spatial images in Gongti literature from the angle of women's psychological characteristics, by using time images of fans, candles and mirrors to depict their sadness, by using metaphor, namely, the images of birds and insects and plants to depict their mentality and emotional state. The utilization of images are embodied with the writers'understanding of the women's psychology and the being state. The volume of Gongti literature in men's writings reflects the bias and stereotypes to such themes.The conclusion suggests Gongti literature in Southern dynasty found its very. time coming after one-hundred-year nit-pick on words. Later on, the founding of Sui and Tang dynasties saw the scholars meeting their third spring following the Warring Period and the Western Han dynasty to encourage them to go out of the boudoir and enter the outside. Meanwhile, the great wheel of Chinese literature, stranding for tens of years in the harbor, began to sail with flourish of the political unification. Very soon, it reached its prime in the summit of Chinese ancient literature by Li Bai and Du Fu's appearance. No wonder Li Bai narrated, "There should be a time when, cutting waves favored by a breeze,. One can, under full sail, embark for the wide, open seas." as the response to the remarks of Zong Que, which is like the dialogue between the two dynasties.
