Xi Shi, who is bright and moving in the legend, can make Fu Cha give up his revenge for killing his father (Fu Cha's father died in the war with Yue Guo) and die in a whirlpool of emotions. However, modern scholars have found an embarrassing reality: that is, Xi Shi is a Huansha woman in the countryside of Yueguo, who is blown and sunburned all day long, and his image and temperament can be so good? Similarly, Zhaojun's story may not stand up to scrutiny. For example, this legend: Legend has it that Wang Zhaojun looked very beautiful, and after the geese in the sky saw Wang Zhaojun, they were surprised that Wang Zhaojun looked too beautiful, so they fell from the clouds.
The prototype of this legend begins with the real Zhaojun. During the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu divided into several tribes and entered the mode of "mutual slashing". The Han Dynasty court was pleased to see this. Moreover, he also actively participated in it: not only to support one part of the Xiongnu tribe, but also to attack another part of the Xiongnu tribe. Among them, there was a tribal chief (known in the history books as Shan Yu), called Hu Han Evil, who went to Chang'an to worship the Han Yuan Emperor.
Hu Han evil came to Chang'an to worship the boss. In the process of worshipping the boss, Hu Han made a request to Emperor Yuan of Han: Can he be a horse of the Han Dynasty to consolidate his position in the Xiongnu and deepen his ties with the Han Dynasty? For such a thing as peace and affinity, the Han Court can be described as a familiar road. However, the Han Dynasty also had little tradition of taking true princesses and relatives. Therefore, in order to perfunctory Hu Han evil chieftain, Emperor Yuan of Han crowned a palace woman with the surname of Wang as a princess and married Hu Han Evil , this palace girl was the later Wang Zhaojun (according to: Wang Zhaojun's real name is very controversial in history).
The reason why Emperor Yuan of Han chose Wang Zhaojun to choose his relatives was because Wang Zhaojun had an advantage, and this advantage actually came from her shortcomings: Wang Zhaojun had a physical defect, that is, the leg shape development was deformed. Some scholars have analyzed that it is a circle leg. This image made Wang Zhaojun feel distressed. However, Wang Zhaojun had a way to avoid it: that is, to wear a long skirt to cover the leg shape, and then inlaid a large amount of jade on the skirt.
In this way, when Wang Zhaojun walked, in the crisp sound of the slight collision of jade pendants, he appeared to be graceful and graceful, giving people a feeling of fairy arrival. Therefore, when Emperor Yuan of Han consulted the chief of Huhan Evil, he considered introducing a "princess" with characteristics to Hu Han evil, so he thought of Wang Zhaojun. Hu Han evil looked at Wang Zhaojun's fairy outfit, and without saying a word, he identified Wang Zhaojun. However, for going to a place like the Xiongnu, Wang Zhaojun was ten thousand unwilling in his bones, but could the will of the Son of Heaven disobey himself?
So Wang Zhaojun was sullen and unhappy along the way. In order to amuse Wang Zhaojun, the accompanying palace maid told Wang Zhaojun when she was resting on the road: You see that there was a big goose in the sky just now, because I patronized you looked beautiful and forgot to fly, so I fell. Under the amusement of the palace maid, Wang Zhaojun's mood improved somewhat, and when the envoys were resting, they did see a big goose falling on the side of the road, so the big goose was attached to the place because of Wang Zhaojun's reasons. The legend of the "falling goose" has also spread. All this, tracing back to the roots, lies in Wang Zhaojun's "Luo Circle Legs" defect - wearing a long skirt in order to cover up luo circle legs, because the long skirt is special and let Hu Han evil look at it, and finally fall on the road...
