How tragic was the end of the four beauties in Chinese history? Sinking fish and falling geese Closed moon shy flowers are character idioms that each of us is familiar with. But few people know about the ending of the four beauties. Because of their peerless appearance, they lack the happiness and tranquility that most ordinary people have. So what is the end of them in history? How did they get to the end of their lives?
First of all, let's talk about the first one, the sinking fish Xi Shi among the four beauties. Xi Shi, whose real name was Shi Yiguang, was born in 503 BC and was a Vietnamese from the late Spring and Autumn period. When she grew up, she was as beautiful as a heavenly immortal, and even her appearance when she was sick was mesmerizing, so she had the story of Dong Shi Xiaoyi, so people also called her the first beautiful woman in ancient China.
At that time, there was a war between Yue Wang Gou Jian and Wu Guo, yue guo was defeated, Yue Wang Gou Jian was captured, and the doctor Wen Zi plotted to give a beautiful woman to confuse Wu Wang, so Wen Zi and Fan Li found the beautiful woman Xi Shi by the river, but Fan Li and Xi Shi fell in love at first sight, and the two wanted to entrust each other for life.
However, under the interference of the literature, Xi Shi was eventually sent to the artist training class, receiving professional guidance in the field of professional song and dance etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc. After three years of training, Xi Shi was sent to the side of Wu Wang Fuchai, who immediately indulged in seeing the beautiful woman.
In order to please her, Xi Shi began to build a large number of civil engineering, build palaces, and even play with Xi Shi all day, ignoring the government, so the Yue King, who was imprisoned in the Wu kingdom, also took the opportunity to return to the Yue kingdom. In the end, with the efforts of the Yue King, the State of Wu was easily breached.
As for the outcome of Xi Shi, there is no clear record in history, and there are mainly the following statements. First, Shen Hai said. Legend has it that after King Yue destroyed the Kingdom of Wu, his wife saw that Xi Shi was so beautiful, and she was worried that her husband would also be fascinated, so he asked someone to tie the stone to Xi Shi's body and then sink into the sea, which is a more popular saying.
The second is the theory of seclusion. This statement comes from the Book of Yue, which says that after the fall of the State of Wu, Fan Li went into seclusion with his beloved Xi Shi.
The third is to be killed. Legend has it that when King Wu killed himself, he vented his anger on Xi Shi and sent someone to kill Xi Shi.
The fourth is suicide. After the fall of the State of Wu, Xi Shi completed her mission, but she felt guilty about King Wu and committed suicide to atone for her sins. Among them, the most widely circulated are the Shen Hai theory and the hermit theory. I wonder what the officials think?
The most courageous of the four beauties, King Zhaojun of the Fallen Goose, her ending is heart-wrenching. Wang Zhaojun, whose original name was Wang Yan (王嫱), was a native of the Western Han Dynasty. She is naturally beautiful, very intelligent, and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Because she had a unique talent and appearance, she was selected by the Han Yuan Emperor to enter the Han Palace, because the Han Dynasty concubines were painted by the painter to the emperor, rather than in person, so the painter's moisture at that time was very large. At that time, the painter was a very greedy person, because Wang Zhaojun was unwilling to pay money to bribe him, so he deliberately painted Wang Zhaojun very ugly, so Wang Zhaojun did not get the emperor's favor for many years when he entered the palace.
It was not until later that Hu Han Evil Shan Yu came to the Han Dynasty to ask for peace and kisses, and Emperor Han Yuan gave him Wang Zhaojun, who was very ugly on the portrait, and it is said that on the day Wang Zhaojun left the palace, Emperor Han Yuan saw that Wang Zhaojun was beautiful and like a heavenly immortal, and regretted it too much, but he could not easily change his mind, which could make Hu Han Evil Shan very happy.
In this way, Wang Zhaojun rode away from her homeland, and she played a song of "Pipa Complaint" in her heart, because she was so beautiful, even the geese flying south forgot to wave their wings and fell on the flat sand when they saw her. After Wang Zhaojun arrived in xiongnu, he married Hu Hanxian and had a child, but three years later Hu Hanxian died.
So Wang Zhaojun wrote a letter requesting to return to his homeland, but Emperor Yuan of Han refused, telling her to obey the customs of the Huns. So Wang Zhaojun married Hu Hanxian's son Fu Zhu Li Shan Yu, and the two lived together for eleven years, giving birth to two daughters, and later Fu Zhu Li Shan Yu also died, and the next year Wang Zhaojun also died of illness, and died at the age of thirty-five.
I have to say that Wang Zhaojun's life was involuntary, from the beginning of entering the palace and not being favored, to being married to the Xiongnu later, after the death of her husband, she had to remarry her son, and finally died at the age of thirty-five, which is really regrettable.
The Closed Moon Sable Cicada is the most famous female character in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but she has no record in history. Therefore, many people also think that Sable Cicada may just be a fictional character, and her ending is also a mystery. Legend has it that Sable Cicada was a singer in the palace of Wang Yun, a minister at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who had always been deeply favored by Wang Yun because she could sing and dance and had the appearance of a country that fell into the city.
At that time, when Dong Zhuo was controlling the government and causing chaos in the harem, Wang Yun was very worried and set up a serial plan. He first pretended to give the 16-year-old mink cicada to Lü Bu, and then gave the mink cicada to Dong Zhuo as a concubine, and after the mink cicada came to Dong Zhuo's side, he fascinated Dong Zhuo, but often secretly met with Lü Bu privately, making Lü Bu fall madly in love with her.
Once, when Lü Bu was having an affair with the marten cicada in Dong Zhuo's mansion, he happened to be seen by Dong Zhuo, who returned, and Dong Zhuo said in a huff that he wanted to kill Lü Bu, but was eventually killed by Lü Bu. Lü Bu also eventually got the mink cicada, and she followed Lü Bu for many years until Lü Bu was killed, but the fate of the mink cicada became a mystery.
Some say that he was included in the harem by Cao Cao, and some say that he was killed by Guan Yu, but this is all speculation, as a figure who may not have existed in history, the mink cicada did not live or die.
Finally, there is the most familiar shy flower Yang Yuhuan. Yang Yuhuan was originally a concubine of Tang Xuanzong's son Li Mao, because she was too beautiful, she was favored by Tang Xuanzong, and later became Tang Xuanzong's favorite concubine, because of Tang Xuanzong's late fainting, eventually broke out the Anshi Rebellion, and Yang Yuhuan was also killed by Tang Xuanzong in the form of life preservation in this war. But many people also said that Yang Yuhuan did not die and ran to Japan. Because in Japan, there is the tomb of Yang Yuhuan. This statement is not impossible.
In general, the four beauties ended up unsatisfactory, and beauty did not bring them happiness.
