What are the famous ugly women in history?

First, the ancestor of the Chinese nation-Mo Mu:

Mo Mu, the most famous ugly girl in ancient times, was the first to be promoted. The Yellow Emperor named her "Fang Shixiang" and used her appearance to exorcise evil spirits. 5,000 years ago, in order to stop the tribe from "robbing marriage", the Yellow Emperor deliberately chose an ugly woman (named Mo Mu) with virtuous character, gentle love and ugly face as his fourth wife. And advertising the world: "those who value beauty over virtue are not true beauty, and those who value virtue over color are true saints." According to historical records, Mo Mu's forehead was wrinkled and his face was dark and thick. (See "The Ugly Man" in Volume 14 of the Collection of Carved Jade in the Tang Dynasty) and "The History of Taoism" in Volume 5: "The Second Princess Mo Mu is ugly and full of virtue." , Wang Ziyuan, Han Dynasty, "Four Scholars Talk about Morality". 5000 years ago, in order to stop the tribal "marriage robbery" incident, the Yellow Emperor specially chose an ugly woman (named Mo Mu) with virtuous character, gentle temperament and ugly face as his fourth wife. The Yellow Emperor also said: "Those who value beauty over virtue are not true beauty, and those who value virtue over color are true saints."

The Yellow Emperor fought against Chiyou, surrendered to Shennong, calmed the war, unified the three tribes, and ended the barbaric era. Mankind has just begun to enter a civilized society. Dressing up, building boats and cars, and dressing up have also become essential things in everyone's daily life. At that time, in order to tidy up their unkempt appearance, our ancestors often faced a basin of water, or stood by a calm river or water to tidy up. So it is recorded in ancient books that this kind of "looking in the mirror" is called "watching the water". So, what does this have to do with Mo Mu?

According to legend, the first mirror used by human beings was discovered and made by Mo Mu. At that time, people in The Yellow Emperor's Palace often stood by the water to reflect their faces and dress up. Mo Mu thinks he is ugly, so he won't go to the water to dress himself up easily, and he won't show his face at festivals. All I know is that I revolve around the Yellow Emperor all day. On one occasion, Tong Yu's name was Mo Mu, and she went up the mountain to dig slate. Without further ado, Mo Mu went up the hill with the name of Tong Yu. Mo Mu has great strength and can dig slate faster than other women. I dug more than 20 pieces in less than half a day. At this time, the sun is already noon, and the sun shines on the earth. Mo Mu suddenly found a shiny stone in the pile, and the sunshine was very dazzling. Mo Mu bent down and gently dug it out of the ground with his hand. He was startled when he held it in his hand. What kind of monster is this? His ugly face is on this stone. Even she feels strange! She quietly hid the stone in her body and went back to the palace of the Yellow Emperor without telling anyone. When no one was around, she took out the stone again and found that the plane of the stone was uneven. The face reflected on it is strange. Mo Mu went to the factory that made stone knives and axes and found a millstone. He pressed the stone on it and rubbed it repeatedly. It didn't take long, and all the stone surfaces were smooth. She took a picture with it, which was much clearer than before. It's just that my face is still so ugly She grinded it for a while, picked it up and took another picture. She is still ugly. Mo Mu sighed to himself and said, "It seems that an ugly face can't blame a stone piece (mirror)."

From then on, Mo Mu never went to the river or the water to make up. Get up every morning, according to the stone, tidy up yourself, and then hide quietly after use. Over time, Mo Mu also careless. On one occasion, Mo Mu helped Tong Yu cook the meat on the slate. Due to excessive firepower, the slate was blown up, and a piece of gravel flew up, breaking Mo Mu's face and bleeding profusely. Mo Mu hurried back, took out the stone tablet and put the medicine on his face. Who knows, the Yellow Emperor doesn't know when he will come back. He followed Mo Mu and found Mo Mu rubbing something on himself with one hand and sticking medicine on his face with the other. The Yellow Emperor walked behind Mo Mu and put his head close to Mo Mu's shoulder, ready to observe carefully. Unexpectedly, Mo Mu exclaimed! She found the face of the Yellow Emperor on that stone. Twist a head to see, just know the yellow emperor standing behind her. The Yellow Emperor asked Mo Mu, "What do you have in your hand?" Honest and upright Mo Mu, when he heard the question of the Yellow Emperor, knew that he should not cheat the Yellow Emperor, and poof, he knelt in front of the Yellow Emperor. Mo Mu told the Yellow Emperor from beginning to end that he had found this stone that could illuminate people, and begged the Yellow Emperor to forgive her. The Yellow Emperor smiled, held Mo Mu in his hand and said, "This is a great discovery for you. You are not only right, but also have made great contributions! " As soon as the Yellow Emperor said it, he immediately called Lei Zu, Lei Fang's family and Tong Yu's family, took out Mo Mu's impressive stone and asked his three wives to see it. Lei Zu smiled and said, "Huangdi, no wonder I haven't seen Mo Mu dressed up in the water for a long time. It turns out that she has this beautiful treasure. " Tong Yu immediately said, "Huangdi, this discovery should be attributed to Sister Mo Mu!" The Yellow Emperor said excitedly, "Of course, remember a merit!"

An ancient book "Yuan" said: "Xuanyuan is a mirror". The book "Biography of Xuanyuan" also said: "The emperor will be the queen mother and cast twelve mirrors. If you want to use them, you can use them." The book "Yi Shu" also said: "In Raozhou, it is said that Xuanyuan casts mirrors by the lake, and now there is Xuanyuan mirror grinding stone."

With the development of smelting technology, people invented iron mirrors and bronze mirrors. 4000 years ago, Egypt produced bronze mirrors. Later, bronze mirrors were also unearthed in China. After Qin and Han Dynasties, the manufacturing level of bronze mirrors in China has become famous at home and abroad. Bronze mirror is not only an instrument for dressing and shaping, but also a beautifully shaped handicraft.

It is mentioned in Historical Records that the Yellow Emperor married an ugly girl, Mo Mu, as his second princess, and Volume 5 of Postscript of Road History records that "Mo Mu, the second princess of the Yellow Emperor, is ugly but virtuous, so the Yellow Emperor married her as his princess.

Although Mo Mu was ugly, the Yellow Emperor trusted her and entrusted her to manage the harem. When the Yellow Emperor traveled around the world, Lei Zu, the princess of the Yellow Emperor, died of illness. The Yellow Emperor ordered Mo Mu to direct the sacrifice and manage the coffin. Mo Mu not only has extraordinary organizational ability, but also the Yellow Emperor awarded her the position of "Fang Shixiang" and used her appearance to exorcise evil spirits.

Second, after Qi Xuanwang-Zhong Lichun.

That is, "no salt". A biography of women? Chun Li: It's the queen, daughter of Qi City. He is so ugly that he can't compare with others. He shows off his marriage and doesn't sell it. He is king himself. Wang Xuan gradually destroyed the platform, stopped the female music, retired the flattery, chose an auspicious day, worshipped the salt-free king, and Qi was safe. "Jade Collection" Volume 14 "Ugly Man": "Without salt, there is no daughter of Yancheng in the six countries, which is extremely ugly. He is a man with long elbows, stiff legs, thin neck and throat, sharp forehead, shoulders hanging from his chest, dark body, rotten teeth and flat nose. He is over 30 years old. He can get married but can't sell it. At that time, Qi Xuanwang gradually set up Taiwan, and the saying that no salt came from Wang Xuan was in danger. Wang Xuan immediately stopped, stopped female music, retired slanderers, and made a remonstrance, that is, worshipped Wuyan as the queen. This is also a fact.

Zhong Wuyan is a famous ugly woman in history. She was born with big eyes, long waist, thick legs, thick neck, baldness, humpbacked camel and dark skin. Because of her ugly appearance, she didn't get married until she was forty. However, Zhong Wuyan is a talented female politician, with high martial arts, brilliant talent and extraordinary intelligence. Although Qi Xuanwang likes drinking and having fun, he is lewd and incompetent, but he admires the wizard Gao Yi of Zhong Wuyan and makes her the queen. With her help, the feast was stopped, the courtiers were eliminated, the military strength and the national treasury were strengthened, and the State of Qi was prosperous for some time.

Protruded forehead, sunken eye socket, upturned nostrils, big head, less hair, bigger throat and Adam's apple than men, dark red skin, unmarried in his forties. Qi Xuanwang, which was in power at that time, was corrupt in politics, dark in state affairs and violent in X-grid, and liked to be beaten by the head, causing national panic. Although Zhong Lichun is ugly, she has read many poems and has great ambitions. In order to save the country, she came to Linzi, the capital, and met Qi Xuanwang at the risk of being beheaded. I saw the ugly girl raise her eyes, open her mouth and wave, and then pointed to her knees and shouted, "Danger! Danger? "

Qi Xuanwang was deeply moved by the shocking analysis of the ugly woman and said, "If you don't come in time to remind me, I won't know my fault!" Think of Zhong Lichun as a mirror of yourself. In order to show his remorse, he made Zhong Lichun his queen. Later, Tian Ji, Sun Bin and other generals were appointed. Qi became the most powerful "country of thousands of riders" and Linzi became the cultural center of the Warring States.

(Because there are too many sayings, there is another version) Story 2:

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, mergers and invasions broke out one after another. In the present words, "people-oriented thought" is very popular in all countries. An ordinary Lebanese can also ask the king without scruple, state their wishes and make suggestions on the country's policies. One day, Wuyan got up the courage and came to Linzi, asking to meet Qi Xuanwang. When Yanwu saw Qi Xuanwang, he said without shame, "I admire the virtue of the king. I am willing to take a broom and obey orders!" Qi Xuanwang's harem is full of beautiful women, and there are many attendants. After listening to Yan Yan's words, she looked at the ugly woman in front of her and couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, he calmly and solemnly said, "Danger! Danger! "

Qi Xuanwang said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "You said danger, what is that?" ? I want to hear more about it. "So there is no salt to slow it down, saying:" Qin Chu is eyeing up around Qi, but Qi's internal affairs are not repaired, loyal ministers and traitors are not divided, the prince is not established, and future generations are not taught. Wang Qi specializes in playing, debauchery and dogs. This is the first thing to worry about; The second thing to worry about is that the building is gradually towering into the sky, decorated with colorful satin silk, decorated with the king of golden beads, and playing with things. The third thing to worry about is that the sage fled into the mountains, but the remonstrator was not allowed to enter. The fourth thing to worry about is that you spend a lot of time partying around the clock, with excellent female music and a full house. You don't practice the ceremony of having a vassal outside, but you have the skill of governing the country inside. The crisis is everywhere! " Qi Xuanwang didn't listen at first, but gradually became dumbfounded. After a long time, he said devoutly, "Listening to teaching is like a morning bell. If I make any progress in the future, it's all thanks to you. "

For an instant, Qi Xuanwang was shocked and suddenly realized. He immediately ordered to dismantle the gradual stage, go to female music, get rid of flattery, abandon glitz, and then make great efforts. Since then, Qi has flourished. Wuyan also became the queen of Qi Xuanwang. Despite its ugly appearance, Yanwu can make up for it by studying in Germany. Over time, her intellectual accomplishment, practical observation and moral courage have laid a solid foundation. Therefore, when they met for the first time, she was able to hit the nail on the head and speak freely, which struck a chord with Qi Xuanwang. On the other hand, we should also see that Qi Xuanwang, as the king of a country, is accustomed to Abe's flattery on weekdays. If he doesn't have a clever mind, how can he distinguish and accept unpleasant words? What's more commendable is that you must have strong willpower to listen to good words. Salt-free righteousness and strict words have certainly won an eternal reputation, and Qi Xuanwang is also very valuable!

People often use "seemingly salt-free" to describe an ugly girl, referring to Zhong Lichun, an ugly girl in the salt-free county of Qi State during the Warring States Period (now the eastern part of Dongping County, Shandong Province). The book says that she is unmarried in her forties, extremely ugly, with a sunken head and deep eyes, a big belly, a stiff nose and throat, a fat top and little hair, and a painted skin.

Yuan people also compiled her deeds into zaju, praising her spirit of taking the world as her responsibility.

Three, the wife of the king of Qi Su tumor:

This ugly girl who grew up on the outskirts of the capital of Qi has a tumor, and even her name has not been handed down. There is only one sentence in the official history: "A gentleman speaks of a daughter who has a tumor, and is common and polite." Su Shi lives in the eastern suburb of Linzi and makes a living by picking mulberry, raising silkworms and reeling. Because there is a big tumor under her neck, everyone calls her "Su Shi's daughter". She is busy working hard for her life all day, and no one cares about her these years. The "tumor" grows under the neck, which is goiter. Ancient medicine is not developed enough, so it can't be suppressed, can't be removed, and can't understand the cause.

Although men of marriageable age, no matter far or near, look at Su Tumor with different eyes, she is indifferent and still lives in her own world, turning a blind eye to everything around her, even dismissing it. Her unique X-grid immediately aroused the curiosity of the King of Qi, who moved out of the school and did not hesitate to contact the unknown. When she was shocked, the king of Qi was awed by her virtue and intelligence, respected her more, and gave birth to love.

It was quite accidental to meet for the first time. It was a trip of the King of Qi, who was crowding round and riding a mighty bicycle. Men, women and children gathered on the roadside and watched this rare lively scene with admiration, while the girl living in the tumor continued to pick mulberry trees on the roadside and turned a blind eye to the aligned King of Qi patrol. The reserve and arrogance of the daughter living in the tumor greatly hurt the self-esteem of the king of Qi, especially the explanation of the daughter living in the tumor was unexpected. "I accept my parents' orders to pick mulberry, but others never care. "A rural woman who doesn't admire wealth and wealth has made Jiyan interested in Wanda and considered it a rare virtuous woman. She immediately ordered the vehicles behind to be vacated, ready to take her back to the palace.

Unexpectedly, the daughter living in the tumor said calmly, "Your majesty never leaves, secretly rejoices, but does not tell her parents, that is, elopes." If your majesty can't ask for it with courtesy, he can't obey it with death. " The King of Qi seldom fully respected her wishes, and he did choose auspicious occasions and prepared gifts to meet her very formally. Supposedly, the daughter living in the tumor should take a shower and change clothes, but she still wore a cloth and got on the bus directly with the messenger. The belle in the harem of Qi State, dressed in gold and silver, could not help smiling when she saw that the "saint" married by the king turned out to be a slovenly village woman, and she could not help laughing her head off when she saw a large tumor wobbling around her neck. In this regard, the King of Qi angered: "Beauty is not as good as Germany and America. Why is it natural to apply makeup and powder, and what are the benefits of embroidery? "

The daughter who lived in the tumor took over the words of the King of Qi: "Yao and Shun used to be emperors. Yao and Shun are based on benevolence and righteousness, content with frugality, not cutting, but constantly picking; Empresses and concubines in the harem, whose clothes don't value color and food doesn't value taste, have been talked about and praised for thousands of years. I take luxury as my service, and I am used to being cruel and extravagant. Luo Qi danced in the harem, made pearls and jade, went on strike, and got drunk and lost money. As a result, the country died and the whole world laughed at it and regarded it as a tyrant. Women and children teach each other to keep chastity, so why pretend to be charming! " A large group of concubines were speechless, and the king of Qi was full of praise. He immediately ordered the demolition of the heavy pavilion, filled the pool and stopped building the garden. You are not allowed to wear the Pearl King or colorful clothes in the harem. Unfortunately, Su Ma died young, and the King of Qi lost a powerful wife, so that he later became arrogant and even more aggressive when attacking Yan State. Yan Zhaowang thought that the general, driving straight people, almost destroyed Qi. Later, relying on Tian Dan and Shuangcheng to rejuvenate the country, Qi gradually lost that dominant position. Generally speaking, a beautiful woman with delicate skin can be loved with a smile. Many people fall at her feet and are willing to do their best for her. They don't need to go to Germany to study hard, and they don't need to discipline themselves carefully. As long as you are gentle, casual, bewitched and helpless, you can firmly grasp a man's heart and get everything you want. An ugly woman can't attract men by her appearance. She can only encourage her moral character, enrich her connotation, make endless sacrifices and dedication, help men succeed in their careers, and get their respect and love in return.

Unfortunately, Su Ma died young, and the king of Qi lost a powerful wife, otherwise history may be rewritten.

Fourth, Meng Guang, the wife of a wise man in the Eastern Han Dynasty:

Liang Hongchuan: "As a tenant, every time I come back, my wife has food, and I dare not look up and lead in front of Hong." . The idiom "Take Qi Mei as an example" tells the story of the wife of Hongliang, a wise man in the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to legend, Meng Guang is the helper of Hong Liang and Wu Di. When Hongliang came home, Meng Guang took Qi Mei as an example to show his respect for her husband. However, this virtuous woman's appearance is "extremely rough", "fat, ugly and black", and she can "lift a stone mortar".

When Meng Guang was unmarried, someone gave her a matchmaker, but she refused to marry, saying that she would "marry Hongliang". Hongliang was a famous man at that time. He was a handsome man. Many local dignitaries and aristocratic families want to marry his daughter. So people listened to Meng Guang's words and laughed at her for being unrealistic. They wanted to eat swan meat and made fun of her high vision. But Hongliang took a fancy to Meng Guang's character and decided to marry Meng Guang. The day after the couple got married, Meng Guang took off the bride's dress and put on coarse clothes to do housework.

Although Hongliang is very learned, he is unwilling to be an official. He once wrote a song "Five Songs", which was hunted down by the authorities. After the Hongliang couple fled to Wudi (now Suzhou), they worked as employees under wealthy businessmen. During the day, Hongliang was alone. At night, when he dragged his tired body home, Meng Guang had prepared delicious meals for him. She respected her husband very much and didn't dare to look directly at him. She bent down and raised the tray with food to her forehead for him to eat. Once the host saw it and exclaimed, "People who can make their wives respect themselves like this must be extraordinary!" "So he gave Hongliang and his wife a big house to live in. Since then, Liang devoted himself to studying and wrote more than ten books behind closed doors. The couple live a poor and harmonious life. Scholars in later generations often quoted "Is it lack of time for a loud and wandering sea song" to express their lifelong complaints.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Ruan Shi, the wife of a famous person in the Eastern Jin Dynasty:

There is a biography of Xu Yunfeng in the "Three Kingdoms", which shows that he is a celebrity. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xu Yun married Ruan Dewei's daughter. On the night of candlelight, she found Ruan's daughter ugly and rushed out of the new house and refused to enter again. Later, Huan Fan, a friend of Xu Yunfeng's, came to see him and said to Xu Yunfeng, "Since the Ruan family married an ugly woman to you, there must be a reason. You must check her. " After listening to Fan's words, Xu really stepped into a new home. But when he saw his wife and started to slip away, the bride caught him. While struggling, Xu Yun said to the bride: "Women have' four virtues' (four virtues required by feudal ethics, such as female virtue, female speech, female appearance and female merit). How many have you met? " The bride said, "All I lack is beauty. How many times have you met a scholar? " Xu Yun said, "I have everything." The bride said, "Virtue comes first. How can you say that you have everything? " Xu Yun was speechless. From then on, the husband and wife respected and loved each other, and their feelings were harmonious.

Xu Yun was appointed as the official department minister, and the county magistrate and other local officials he appointed were all his countrymen, so Wei Mingdi sent someone to arrest him. When the samurai took Xu Yun away, Xu Yun's wife chased him barefoot, telling Xu Yun that a wise gentleman can convince others by reasoning, but not by interceding. After Xu Yun was arrested, his family burst into tears. Mrs. Xu Yun said, Never mind, he will be back soon. Then I cooked millet porridge and waited for Xu Yun to come back. When Ming Di asked Xu Yun about employing people, Xu Yun replied: To select talents for our country, we must know them. My compatriots are people I know. Your majesty can see if they are competent. If they are not competent, I am willing to take responsibility. As a result of the investigation, all the villagers appointed by Xu Yunfeng were competent, so Ming Di let him go.

Six, Zhuge Liang's wife-Huang Yueying:

Is the daughter of Mianyang celebrity Huang. Huang recommended a talented person to Zhuge Liang and proposed to him. After Zhuge Liang agreed, he married Huang Yueying. According to legend, Huang Yueying has yellow hair and black skin, but he is knowledgeable. However, there is also a saying that Huang Yueying herself is extremely beautiful, so she was envied by other young women in the village and vilified her appearance. Zhuge Liang invented the wooden ox and flowing horse. According to legend, it was developed from the skills taught by Huang Yueying. According to legend, some special products in Jingzhou area were also invented or made by Huang Yueying. Now, many touching legends about Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying can be heard around Xiangfan.

Zhuge Zhan's mother, Huang Yueying, is ugly, but she has a genius: she is proficient in astronomy and geography and knows everything. When Zhuge Liang was in Nanyang, he heard about his talent and married Huang Yueying. Zhuge Liang learned a lot from Huang Yueying. After Zhuge Liang's death, Huang Yueying died soon after, and encouraged his son Zhuge Zhan with "loyalty and filial piety" before he died.

She didn't appear in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, maybe she was a little self-aware. Liu Bei's second visit to the "toilet" failed to go home (this person may have a hobby of voyeurism), and he happened to meet his father Huang riding a donkey. It is described in the book as follows: "Xuande rolled his saddle and dismounted." Being able to scare Liu Bei like this shows that his appearance is really extraordinary. As the saying goes, like father, like daughter, Kong Long's appearance is not difficult to imagine.

Huang Yueying, black and small, with yellow hair, is obscene and vulgar, but he is good at poetry and lyrics, knowledgeable, concerned about her husband's education of children, and diligent in managing the family, which has achieved Zhuge Liang's great cause of "The Three Kingdoms, torn apart, has been bound by its great power, and the eight sides are built on its name".

Seven, anonymous-Dong Shi

East Shi Xiaoyan: When ugly girls come to Xiao Yan, they will also surprise their neighbors. (White "Antique") The beauty stone of the State of Yue, because of the pain in his heart, often holds his heart in his hand and frowned slightly. Sick beauty looks good. The ugly women in the east also imitate Shi's frown, making their ugly appearance even more ugly and terrible. Neighbors are bored, some stay indoors, and some simply run away with their wives and children. This is the origin of the allusion "learning from the East". Therefore, Dong Shi and Shi became the typical examples of ugliness and beauty, and lived in people's words and characters all the time. This is called "ugly ugliness, beautiful beauty."

In the spring and autumn period, there was a beautiful woman named. No matter how she gestures, looks and laughs, everything is lovely. Wearing light makeup and simple clothes. Everywhere she goes, many people "stare at her", and no one can but marvel at her beauty.

Shi suffers from heartburn. One day, her illness broke out again. She put her hand over her chest and frowned, revealing a charming female beauty. When she walked through the countryside, all the villagers opened their eyes.

There is an ugly girl named Dong Shi in the countryside. She looks ordinary and has no cultivation. She usually acts rudely and speaks loudly, but she dreams of becoming a beautiful woman all the time. Today she wears such clothes and combs her hair like that tomorrow, but still no one says she is beautiful.

On this day, she saw the stone frowning on her chest and won the favor of so many people, so when she went back, she also learned to look like a stone, frowning on her chest and walking around the village. I didn't know that ugly girl's affectation made her look even uglier. As a result, the rich in rural areas saw the ugly monster and immediately closed the door tightly; The poor people in the countryside saw the ugly girl coming and immediately took away their wives and children. People were heartbroken when they saw this grotesque ugly woman who imitated the stone and walked around the village. It's like seeing the plague.

The ugly woman only knows that Shi's frown is beautiful, but she doesn't know why she is beautiful. She just imitated her appearance and was laughed at. Everyone should develop their strengths and avoid weaknesses according to their own characteristics. It is foolish to look for an image that suits them and blindly imitate others.

Eight, disciple's wife:

String of heads and ears, sad lips and teeth, sideways. (See "The Lotito") means disheveled hair, curly ears, wide lips, sparse teeth, hunchback and crooked walking. Disciple once told the king of Chu that Song Yu was lewd. Later, Song Yu defended himself in front of the King of Chu, because his disciple didn't sleep. In order to show his lewdness, Song Yu created a beautiful woman in chinese odyssey, and said that this beautiful woman had been spying on herself for three years, but he had been indifferent, so he relieved the king of Chu from worrying about his harem. Then it describes how the lothario loved his ugly wife and gave birth to five children with her, thus putting the charge of "lust for X" on the lothario and making him suffer injustice. For more than two thousand years, "lothario" has become synonymous with "lewd".
