"Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, thinking of relatives every festival", this poem has exhausted the sadness of many wanderers.
Especially for women who marry far away, what crosses thousands of mountains and rivers is not only the way home, but also the constant family affection and attachment to their homeland.
Who can truly understand the ups and downs of their lives when they go to other places to rebuild their lives in strange places?

When the word "harmony" is mentioned, what comes to most people's minds is probably humiliation, helplessness, and a bitter history of having to bow to power.
As a representative of "harmony", the story of Wang Zhaojun's trip to Saiwai has been endowed with tragic colors and has become the material for countless literati and artists.
But is Wang Zhaojun's exit really just synonymous with humiliation? If we take a long-term view, we will find that this history is far more complex than we think.
To find out the truth about Wang Zhaojun's exit, we must first understand the relationship between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu at that time.
Speaking of which, these two are old enemies, starting from Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the war between the Han and the Hungarians has not stopped.
For the sake of border tranquility, the Han Dynasty can be said to have broken its heart and paid a huge price.
When the time came to the time of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty finally achieved an overwhelming military advantage and defeated the Xiongnu into obedience. At that time, the boss of the Xiongnu called Han Xie Shan Yu and had to obediently pay tribute to the Han Dynasty.
But Hu Han Evil Shan Yu's life is not easy. He was already facing challenges from other tribes within the Xiongnu, and finally survived until the death of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, but as a result, the Xiongnu were in chaos again, and the drama of "five singles in contention" was directly staged.
As a single Yu supported by the Han Dynasty, Hu Han Evil naturally became a thorn in the side of other tribes. Under internal and external troubles, Hu Han Xie could only ask the Han Dynasty for help again, hoping to hug this thigh.
At this time, the emperor of the Han Dynasty had been replaced by Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty.
This emperor has a relatively mild personality and does not like to fight and kill, and the continuous conquest has also made the treasury of the Han Dynasty unbearable, so Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty has always wanted to find a peaceful solution to the border troubles.
Hu Han Xie's request for help was simply sleepy for him, and he came to deliver a pillow. Thus, a political marriage was put on the agenda.
To put it bluntly, it's a political bargain to each according to what he needs. Hu Han needed the support of the Han dynasty to consolidate its rule, and the Han dynasty also needed to stabilize the borders and save military spending through peace and kinship.
Harmony became the best choice for both parties at that time.
——【·Zhaojun marries·】——»
The sound of the lute, like a cry, echoed in the silent palace. Wang Zhaojun, the stunning beauty of the Han Palace, is about to embark on an unknown road, and her fate will be closely linked to the future of the Han Dynasty.
Wang Zhaojun entered the palace in order to show his beauty, but who expected that the palace gate was as deep as the sea, and his youth passed quietly in endless waiting.
Until that day, the Xiongnu called Han Yeshan to come to ask for marriage, breaking the tranquility of the palace and changing the trajectory of Zhaojun's life.
And pro, for the women of the harem, it is tantamount to a bolt from the blue. For a while, the people in the palace were panicked, and no one wanted to go to the outside of the palace and leave the familiar homeland.
However, just when Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was in a dilemma, Wang Zhaojun resolutely stood up.
She knows very well that harmony is related to the safety of the Han Dynasty, and for the sake of peace on the border, she is willing to give up her personal happiness and take on this heavy responsibility.
Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was deeply moved by Zhaojun's patriotic feelings, and he ordered someone to carefully prepare a dowry for Zhaojun, and also found someone to teach her the language and customs of the Xiongnu, hoping that she could live better in a foreign land.
In this way, on a bleak autumn day, Zhaojun bid farewell to his homeland and embarked on a long journey to the Xiongnu.
Along the way, she endured the sadness of parting, tried to adapt to the unfamiliar environment, and looked forward to using her meager strength to exchange for the peace of the people of the two countries.
After arriving in the Xiongnu, Zhaojun was given a grand reception, and Hu Han Yeshan Yu also favored her.
Although the life after marriage is very different from that of the Han Palace, Zhaojun strives to integrate into the local life, and lives a peaceful and stable life with Hu Han Evil Shan Yu Qin Se and Ming.
However, the good times did not last long, and a sudden drought swept through the Xiongnu steppe.
As far as the eye can see, the grasslands that were once rich in water and grass have become barren, herds of cattle and sheep have died, and herders have been displaced and complaining.
Some people with ulterior motives spread rumors that Zhaojun brought this disaster and demanded that her blood be sacrificed to the gods to appease the wrath of the heavens.
For a time, the Xiongnu were panicked, and Huhan Evil Shan Yu also fell into a dilemma. Seeing her husband frowning, Zhaojun was anxious.
At this moment, she remembered a bag that her parents had given her before leaving, and told her not to open it until she had to.
Zhaojun opened the bag with trembling hands, and found that it contained several strange things: some seeds, a pair of gold scissors, and a piece of yellow paper.
Looking at these things, Zhaojun couldn't help but burst into tears, she didn't understand why her parents wanted to give her these seemingly useless things.
Perhaps it was the providence of heaven in the dark, Zhaojun's tears fell on the parched land, and a miracle appeared, a clear spring gushed out from under her feet, moistening the parched land.
Zhaojun suddenly opened her mouth, she picked up the golden scissors, and cut out the cattle and sheep and aquatic plants according to the patterns on the yellow paper, and the miracle appeared again, and the paper-cut became a living cow, sheep and aquatic plants.
Eventually, Zhaojun scattered the seeds on the grassland, and soon the barren grassland was overgrown with green crops.
Zhaojun used her wisdom and kindness to resolve the crisis and won the love of the Xiongnu people, who affectionately called her the "goddess of the steppe".
Hu Han Evil Shan Yu is even more grateful to Zhaojun, and cherishes this strange woman from the Han Dynasty even more.

However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people, and only two years later, Hu Han Xie Shan Yu died of illness. According to the custom of the Xiongnu, Xin Dan Yu had to inherit all the wives of his predecessor Shan Yu, including Wang Zhaojun.
This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Wang Zhaojun, but she had no choice but to accept the arrangement of fate and marry the eldest son of Huhan Evil Shan Yu.
In the days when the Xiongnu lived, Wang Zhaojun missed his hometown and relatives all the time. In the dead of night, she would play the pipa and pour out her anguish and thoughts with music.
Her melodious sound echoes across the open grassland, as if telling the heart of a woman from a foreign land.
Despite being in a foreign land, Wang Zhaojun has never forgotten his mission. She actively promoted cultural exchanges between Han and Hungary, taught her children to learn Han culture, and maintained friendly relations between Han and Hungary.
Thanks to her efforts, the Han and Hungarian countries have maintained peace for more than 60 years, and the people on the border live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer have to worry about the invasion of war. Wang Zhaojun was also praised as a "messenger of peace" by later generations.
In 19 BC, Wang Zhaojun died of illness in the Xiongnu at the age of 35. This strange woman who dedicated her life to the peace of the Han and Hungarian peoples finally failed to return to her homeland and died in a foreign land.
There is a record in the history books about Zhaojun marrying Hu Hanyi and her stepson, and about the third husband she married, it is not indicated in the literature, probably for artistic processing, I don't know this.
Wang Zhaojun's story did not end with her passing. Her daughter, Subu Juci, inherited her mother's legacy and continued to contribute to the friendship between Han and Hungary.
In 2 AD, Wang Mang, in the name of the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun, took Subu Juci back to Chang'an. Subu is smart and clever, and he is deeply loved by Wang Zhengjun. Like her mother, she also acted as a bridge of friendship between Han and Hungary.
However, the good times were short-lived. After Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, his ambitions swelled, and the relationship with the Xiongnu became increasingly strained. Eventually, war broke out, and Subjuji and her family suffered in the political maelstrom.
The story of Wang Zhaojun and Subu Juci is embarrassing. They are all victims of the times, but the patriotic feelings and national righteousness embodied in them are worthy of our eternal memory.
——【·Summary·】——»
Looking back at history, although the policy of harmony and proximity is full of helplessness and tragedy, it did play a role in maintaining stability in the border areas and promoting ethnic integration in a specific historical period.
And Wang Zhaojun, a strange woman who married a foreign land for the interests of the country, will also leave a strong mark in the long river of history.
Her story tells us that even in the face of adversity, we must maintain a kind and brave heart, and use our own strength to change our destiny and make history.
History will remember the exploits of those who have quietly dedicated themselves to peace, and their spirit will forever inspire future generations.
