At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were constant wars and chaos, and during the Three Kingdoms period, there were many unique military generals, such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and so on. But if you want to choose a few beautiful women in the Three Kingdoms, then one of the four beautiful women in ancient China, the mink cicada, must be on the list, in addition to her, the most famous is the sisters of Big Qiao and Little Qiao. The following history xiaobian has brought you relevant content to share with you.
Dongfeng does not go with Zhou Lang, and Tong Que Chun deep locks Er Qiao.
- "Chibi" Du Mu
Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao, the pair of sisters, are also famous beauties at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they all ended up marrying to Eastern Wu, Big Qiao married Sun Ce, and Xiao Qiao married Zhou Yu, which can be said to be both male and female appearances, born a pair. So, what about the fate of Big Joe and Little Joe in history?
01 Joe Sisters
In history, Big Joe and Little Joe were the daughters of the Duke of Qiao, because there is no detailed name record, so people called them by the name of Big Joe. And the two daughters of Qiao Gong are beautiful people who do not go out of the door, so they have heard of their beauty from near and far, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are no exception.
At that time, Sun Ce, with the help of Zhou Yu, had just restored the ancestral industry of Jiangdong and attacked the city of Anhui, and heard that Erqiao lived in the city of Anhui, so he pulled Zhou Yu to visit together.
At that time, the sister Hua had reached the age of marriage, and Qiao Gong saw that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who came to visit, one was Sun Lang of Weizhen Jiangdong, and the other was Zhou Lang of Wenwu, who was very compatible with his daughter, so he decided to marry his two daughters to them.
And after people learned about it, they also felt that they were all right, so it also became a good story at that time, and everyone knew that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu married a pair of sister flowers, which can be said to be envious of others.
Since then, Big Joe and Little Joe have embarked on a completely different life trajectory from their original lives, and their respective lives have had completely different encounters.
02 Big Joe's situation
When Big Qiao married Sun Ce, he was about eighteen years old, and Sun Ce was twenty-five years old. The married life of two people can also be regarded as love. It is said that once Sun Ce went out hunting, he was accidentally injured, and the situation was very critical, and Big Qiao stayed by Sun Ce's side until he recovered. After this incident, the couple's relationship is getting better and better.
And we know that in history, Sun Ce was very short-lived, died in battle at a young age, and entrusted Jiangdong to his younger brother Sun Quan. At that time, Sun Ce went to sneak attack Xuchang and was stabbed to death.
At that time, when Sun Ce returned to Jiangdong with a sigh of relief, he originally wanted to find the divine doctor Hua Tuo for treatment, but Hua Tuo was not in Jiangdong at that time, but went to the Central Plains. So it was Hua Tuo's student who treated Sun Ce, but he was also powerless against Sun Ce's injury. Big Joe has been a widow since then, and this year she was in her early twenties.
Big Qiao and Sun Ce have just been married for two years, and their husbands died because of the war, which is also a very helpless period, after all, in the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, Sun Ce is still the leader of Jiangdong, it is inevitable that there will be accidents.
This pained Big Joe, who experienced the pain of widowhood at a young age, and the two did not leave a single heir, and from then on Big Joe spent the rest of his life in loneliness and seclusion.
03 Little Joe's situation
Compared with Big Qiao, Little Qiao is obviously much happier, after all, Zhou Yu still lives longer than Sun Ce. And Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao are also very affectionate, although Xiao Qiao is only a concubine, but Zhou Yu is very fond of her, often taking her with him, and the two also gave birth to a pair of children. Compared with Big Joe, Little Joe's life is much happier.
Xiao Qiao spent eleven years with Big Qiao, during which Time Zhou Yu experienced countless battles, large and small, and also led the Battle of Chibi, making great contributions to Jiangdong. However, in the end, when he attacked Yizhou, he fell ill and died in Baqiu.
It is said that when Zhou Yu's body was sent back, the sun was about to set, and Xiao Qiao, who had been waiting for the return of her husband, could not see her husband's face clearly, but only saw the light of the sunset flickering in the coffin, reflecting the glow of the sunset, and the mood was very romantic.
But the past has passed away, Zhou Yu died when Xiao Qiao was not yet thirty years old, fortunately, Xiao Qiao's later years still have the company of several children, compared to his sister Big Qiao, it is much happier. In ancient times, even if the concubine was favored, she could not leave a name in the family tree, so it was doomed that the status of Big Qiao and Little Qiao was not high. But in this chaotic world, being able to marry Sun Ce and Zhou Yu is also the best destination for their sisters.
04 Is Big Qiao and Little Qiao really related to Cao Cao?
In history, there are often rumors about Cao Cao and Big Qiao and Little Qiao, what is going on? It is said that this statement comes from Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang said that when he was still in Longzhong, he had heard that Cao Cao had built a "TongqueTai", which was a very magnificent and luxurious palace, and Cao Cao specifically looked for beautiful women in the world to enrich it.
In fact, the fundamental reason for Cao Cao to build the "Tongquetai" is for the two big Qiao and Xiao Qiao, it is said that Cao Cao knew the Qiao Gong very early, and had seen the two sisters of Erqiao, so naturally they had been coveting the beauty of their sisters for a long time, so that later Du Mu also wrote a poem "Chibi", using "Dongfeng does not go with Zhou Lang, Tongque Chun deep lock Erqiao" to describe this story.
But in fact, Cao Cao did not get Big Qiao and Little Qiao, and in history, after the deaths of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, there are very few records about Erqiao. But Little Joe lived until he was in his forties before he died, and there are said to be two places about Little Joe's grave.
It is said that Xiao Qiao's tomb at that time was in Lujiang, but in southern Anhui, there is also a tomb of Xiao Qiao, which was built around the time of the Qing Dynasty.
It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, a local prefect in southern Anhui dreamed of Xiao Qiao in a dream, and Xiao Qiao told him that her real grave was near the Xiangyou Temple. So after the prefect woke up, he ordered the construction of a small Qiao tomb on the west side of the Xiangyou Temple, which led to the situation of two XiaoQiao tombs today.
epilogue:
Looking back at the life of Big Joe and Little Joe, although they have the envy of others, they have married a hero Haojie of the world, have the most heroic husband in the whole world, and live a life in Jiangdong that ordinary women can't reach in their lifetime, but in the end, they live the loneliest life. Perhaps because I was born in a chaotic world, no matter how much beauty and glory and wealth, I can't help but be satisfied with a stability, and I can't help but sigh.
