In ancient China, women had always had a very low status, they were often regarded by men as a symbol of their status, but there were very few women who were truly loved. Even the four famous beauties in history, perhaps in their opinion, their lives are not so good, because they often suffer disasters because of their beauty, rather than suffering from the slightest benefit. Perhaps, in their opinion, they would rather be an ordinary person in modern times. After all, all four beauties in history were married to power rather than love.
In fact, the reason why these beauties in history are recognized as the four beauties is not only because of their unique beauty, but also because of the most superficial side, and they can really be selected into the list more because of their involvement in politics. Wang Zhaojun, as one of the four beauties, has endured the pain that ordinary people can't experience, she has been married by her grandparents and grandchildren, and finally, she chose to commit suicide to deal with the situation she can't bear, and her story has been passed down for thousands of years.
The reason why Wang Zhaojun had to marry his grandson and grandson successively after marrying to the frontier was because of the special customs of the ethnic minorities at that time, after the death of their husbands, if they were not their own sons to inherit the power, then as a stepmother, they had to marry their nominal sons.
I believe everyone has an impression of the story of Zhaojun's exit, this Zhaojun was originally a beauty, and people from all over the country knew her beauty, so when she grew up, her father refused all the door-to-door proposers, but sent his daughter to the harem, he hoped that his daughter could marry the most powerful person in the world and enjoy the real glory and wealth. However, in the palace, it is not only beauty that can be competent, but also scheming and means. Zhaojun only made a mistake in asking the painter to paint his face in the first level.
At that time, all the concubines paid the painter, hoping that the other party could paint themselves beautifully, so that the emperor could see himself through the portrait, but Zhaojun thought that his beauty no longer needed bribes, and the painter could not receive benefits, so he naturally scribbled at will, and deliberately painted such a beautiful woman ugly, and finally Zhaojun was beautiful, but he also had to live in the palace and not see the emperor. In the days of facing the wall day by day, Zhaojun also lost his enthusiasm for life, and at this time she learned that someone from the border country came to propose, and Zhaojun's heart began to be active.
Zhaojun felt that the current life was desperate enough, and it was better to go to Biansai to find a way, so she appeared in the emperor's chagrined gaze and married the king of the Huns. Indeed, the king of the Huns was very fond of Zhaojun, and he relied on her everywhere, and a child was born between the two. However, the king left early, and Zhaojun stayed, having to accept a cruel reality, the special custom of the Xiongnu stipulated that after the death of the older king, his concubines must marry the new king. And Zhaojun is a native of the Central Plains, so he naturally doesn't want to accept it, and Zhaojun sent a letter back to the dynasty, but the emperor said that he would follow the customs.
At this time, Zhaojun was completely desperate, Zhaojun knew that her country had completely abandoned her, and she could only be forced to marry her nominal son. However, after many years of getting along, this king also died, and this time the Hun custom was to force her to continue to marry her nominal grandson, in despair, the humiliated Wang Zhaojun chose the only way, that is, suicide, so, do you think Zhaojun's move is wise or wrong?
