摘　　要：尽管先秦儒家经典强调"牝鸡之晨,惟家之索",但我国古代王朝在幼主继位时,长期实行的基本上仍是皇太后"称制",即掌握统治大权的制度。这是由于在家天下和君主专制制度下,皇太后"称制"具有最关心巩固幼主君位这一无可替代的优越主观条件所决定的。Though it was improper for queen mother to influence the emperor＇s decision in Confucian theory, there were lots of cases for the administrative power in the mother＇s hands when his son was young. The reason is that,since the country was regard as the private property of the royal family, the queen mother was unquestionably the one who most cared about her son.

关 键 词：称制 外家为乱 “母子之爱 有异常伦” 后妃“与国同体”
