At a time when literary Chinese was monopolized by male intellectuals, it is remarkable from the aspect of establishing female intellectual history that goes beyond simply the quality and value of their literature that these women, systematically prohibited from public education, taught themselves Chinese literature and became involved in the act of writing poetry, rivaling their male interllectual counterparts in literature.

In this respect, we can fully assume that besides the existing literary works, there must have been innumerable poems written by women, unknown to the world, and that these works, to our regret, were destroyed due to a reluctance by these women to have their works made public to the outside world. Nevertheless, the fact that exceptional female poets have continuously produced works in each successive age means that the very act of writing poetry worked emotionally as a kine of support for their lives.

À une époque où le chinois littéraire était monopolisé par des intellectuels masculins, il est remarquable d'avoir établi une histoire intellectuelle féminine qui va au-delà de la qualité et de la valeur de leur littérature que ces femmes, systématiquement interdites à l'éducation publique, Ils ont appris eux-mêmes la littérature chinoise et se sont impliqués dans l'acte d'écrire de la poésie, rivalisant avec leurs homologues masculins de la littérature.

À cet égard, nous pouvons supposer qu'outre les œuvres littéraires existantes, il doit y avoir eu d'innombrables poèmes écrits par des femmes, inconnues du monde, et que ces œuvres ont été détruites, à notre regret, par réticence à rendre leurs œuvres publiques au monde extérieur. Néanmoins, le fait que des poètes féminines exceptionnelles aient continuellement produit des œuvres à chaque âge successif signifie que l'acte même d'écrire de la poésie a fonctionné émotionnellement comme un support pour leur vie.
