"Convergence Digest" is a daily classic, not seen or scattered.
Whether it is Xi Shi, Sable Cicada or Yang Guifei, they are all famous beauties in ancient China, coincidentally, there is no detailed description of the descendants of the three people in the historical materials, only Xi Shi can find only a few words. Why did these three not have children? I will introduce them to you one by one.
First of all, let's look at the mink cicada, it is too normal for the mink cicada to have no children, because the image of the mink cicada is completely fabricated in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Although according to later research, the image of the mink cicada may have an archetype, the name mink cicada first appeared in the predecessor of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Three Kingdoms Zhiping Dialect", and the appearance time was very short, and there was no chance to have children.
The cicada is an indispensable character in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and such a cruel character is not conducive to the development of the plot and the reader's feelings if he has a child. The Book of later Han describes Lü Bu as indeed assassinating Dong Zhuo because of a woman, but this woman was Dong Zhuo's personal maid, and the two naturally did not have the opportunity to have children.
Next was Yang Guifei, who was originally Li Mao's princess, and was later favored by Tang Xuanzong and entered the palace as a noble concubine. Tang Xuanzong was old, and it was not surprising that Yang Guifei had no heirs in Tang Xuanzong's palace, but Yang Yuhuan still had no heirs in the ShouWang Palace for 5 years, of course, it was not excluded that the existing heirs had been erased from history.
The reason why Yang Guifei did not have children We can see from a small incident on her that Yang Guifei has a serious fox odor, and in order to cover up this odor, Yang Guifei usually bathes many times a day. In the bath will also use a skin care product called fragrant muscle pills, this pill has an ingredient called musk, long-term contact can easily lead to infertility, Yang Guifei should belong to this situation. But the aroma emitted by this pill can well mask the smell of fox odor, in the face of health and image, as a standard ancient beauty, Yang Guifei is easy to choose.
We often say that Yang Guifei has a plump posture, but we can see from various sources that Yang Guifei's dance is very powerful. In this problem, this attribute of Yang Guifei can explain two problems, the first Yang Guifei will not be unable to get pregnant because of obesity, the Tang Dynasty is the peak period of the development of classical Chinese dance, Tang Xuanzong has dedicated a lot of strength to this, and even set up a pear garden to rehearse songs and dances. Yang Guifei can emerge in such a situation, and she will certainly not be too obese. Second Yang Guifei's dance skills are certainly not innate, this kind of "human being" must have experienced "bitterness", and it is not surprising that she gave up her physical health for the sake of image.
Finally speaking of Xi Shi, in fact, whether Xi Shi has children has not yet been conclusive, Xi Shi is in the age of the oldest here, the records of the Spring and Autumn Period are limited, after the destruction of Wu, the record of Xi Shi is only a legend. The Book of Wu Di records: "Gou Jian ordered Fan Li to take Xi Shi to sacrifice fu cha, and Xi Shi Yulu and Fan Li sneaked through, and arrived in Wu in three years, giving birth to a son." However, this record alone does not mean that Xi Shi gave birth to a child, and the purpose of Xi Shi's trip to the Wu kingdom was to "bring calamity to the country and the people", and having a child was not conducive to the realization of this goal, and the records of Xi Shi's children were also rare.
In ancient times, there was a saying that mothers were precious by their children, and few people were unwilling to have children, especially these queens and princesses. If there really are no children, there must be some other reason to hinder it, just like Yang Guifei and Xi Shi.
