Wang Zhaojun, one of the four famous beauties in Chinese history, stood out when the Han Yuan Emperor drafted women because of her beauty and talent. Her presence not only amazes people at her beauty and talent, but also brings peace to the Central Plains region for fifty years.
Behind Wang Zhaojun's origins is a story of courage and talent. Born in Nanjun during the Western Han Dynasty, she was diligent and studious since childhood, and was proficient in Qinqi books and paintings. Her talent made her a leader among many women in the court when Emperor Yuan of Han drafted women.
But inside the court, the dark harem unspoken rules made her feel lonely. Faced with this situation, she did not bribe the painting and did not compromise her principles. Unfortunately, this insistence did not get the favor of the emperor and was eventually left out in the cold.
During a peace with the Xiongnu, she was forced to pretend to be a princess and was forced to marry Shan Yu. The emperor killed the painter for his mistake to vent his hatred, and Wang Zhaojun lost the opportunity to return to his hometown because of this incident.
In the Xiongnu, Wang Zhaojun married Shan Yu and his son became a member of the Xiongnu tribal family. Even so, her situation remains dangerous. But she did not give up, and her talent and courage made her respected within the Xiongnu tribe. From the moment she came out of the stuff to the moment she died, she maintained her dignity and strength.
Wang Zhaojun's story is not only legendary, but also has profound historical significance. Her envoy to the Xiongnu played an important role in promoting peace between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, and realized the integration between ethnic minorities and Han people. In the 50 years after the peace affair, the Central Plains region was free from war and strife for 50 years, and achieved a lasting and stable situation.
In short, Wang Zhaojun's story is a legend of tenacity, courage and talent. She left us not only a legend of a beautiful woman, but also an eternal power.
