The queens are a special group of people. On one side, as the Emperor's wife, they are rulers, on the other side, as female, they are ruled in the male society. In this paper the author systematically study the special group people in Han Dynasties.Through research the whole lives of all the queens in Han Dynasties, we can find the features of the queens in Han Dynasties are quite different. Most of the Queens in Western Han Dynasty were born in lower or middle class families, even there were some poverty persons. In teenage stage, they usually learned dance and sing skills, then with their outstanding appearance and chance, they could become queens who were as distinguished as the kings. And they weren't requested to have the ruled quality. To the queens in Eastern Han Dynasty, things were quite different. Most of them were born in aristocrats. They accepted education when they were very young but not learned dance and sing skills like queens in Western Han Dynasty. Then through strict selection, they became queens. Hence, they have higher political talent. From the perspective of marriage, this kind of change is the direct source of class marriage in Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties. What's more, in traditional male society, queens with their families couldn't escape the fate of tragedy, seldom can preserve. While greedy for power and extorting money usually accelerate the coming of the fate.A problem that The relatives of the queens charged the politics in Han Dynasty can not be avoided in the study of queens in Han Dynasties. Through systematically carding this system , the author find it has closely relationship with emperor ruled administrative system, in face it is an important integral part of imperial power domination in Han Dynasty.
