Shangguan Waner is a standout woman of letters. She had influence on the Tang poetry and the formation of the regulated poems by politics and criticism. Even though she was already authorized and meritorious retainer in the past historical materials but she didn't come into the spotlight in the present-day. Almost nobody have expound on her literary achievements. So in this study, I plan to expound the Shangguan Waner's literary politics and literary criticism. Though she was a maid of honor of the senior grade of the second court rank(Zhaorong 昭容), she was different from another female and male officials. She exercised her influence and played an important role in the literary world by politics and criticism. She made a plan to give preferential treatment to a literary man and a policy to prosperity literature. It can be called “literary politics”. As a critic, she took a role of the chairman to examine poems in the court literature. Shen Quanqi and Song Zhiwen who took shape the regulated poems were classified into grade by her. Her appraisal standard was which one has the ascendant vigor. Most of the writers of that time were worth seeing by her influencing power. I hope this study can give an important background knowledge of the prosperity of Tang poetry and literature. What is more, this can give an understanding of Women's literature.
