One of the most beautiful red faces and thin lives in the world, Xi Shi "sinking fish"

The four great beauties of ancient China, Xi Shi, is the first because she was the earliest in her lifetime, during the Spring and Autumn Period of Wu yue hegemony.

The saying "sinking fish" originates from the legend of "Xi Shi Huan Sha". Legend has it that Xi Shi followed his mother to the creek with a yarn, and her face was reflected in the water, and the fish saw that its beauty had all sunk to the bottom.

In the Vietnamese beauty pageant, Xi Shi ranked first. The beauty of Xi Shi, especially "eyebrow caressing the chest" is the most important, that is because the legend of Xi Shi suffers from heartache.

However, Xi Shi's life was completely dominated by power, and drastic changes occurred, and she was groomed by the Yue King to become a pornographic spy.

After taking the defeat in the war against the State of Wu, King Gou of Yue adopted the "Cutting Wu Technique" of the Chinese language: "Leaving beautiful women to confuse their hearts and confuse their plots", and used the most poisonous beauty plan against the State of Wu. King Yue first taught Xi Shi a professional course on pornographic espionage and espionage, and after three years of study, he sent Fan Li to dedicate her to King Wu.

Wu Wangfu was almost overjoyed after winning the world's most beautiful people, built a gu sutai, built a pavilion and a baby palace, and placed xi shi in the room of the pepper flower, like a drunkard, indulging in female color, absurd in state politics, and finally destroyed by the Yue kingdom.

So what is the end of this meritorious beauty who destroyed Wu? The most widely circulated and well-founded saying is the "Shenjiang Theory". In the "Mozi Qinshi Chapter", it is said: "Xi Shi is heavy, and its beauty is also." It is said that Xi Shi was blamed and jealous by all parties for his beauty after completing the task, and eventually was tied up and drowned in YangziJiangxin. Mozi's era was about a hundred years after the destruction of Wu by the Yue Kingdom, so this statement is the closest to historical facts.

As for who specifically drowned Xi Shi, there are many opinions. Some say that the Yue king is worried about xi shi's beauty and harming the country, some say that the queen of the yue king is jealous, and some say that it is the revenge of the Wu kingdom. In short, it is a red face and a thin life, and a wisp of incense soul sinks in the "rolling water of the East Yangtze River". The beauty of "sinking fish" is a slur.

Later generations could not bear such a miserable end for a generation of peerless beauties, so they made up a beautiful saying that "Xi Shi went away with Fan Li across the five lakes and did not know the end", which fulfilled the dream of "talented and beautiful people" of the common people.
