Historical story

Wang Zhaojun, whose real name is Chang, was originally a palace maid of the Han Dynasty. In 54 BC, Uhaanyehe, the Hun, was defeated by his brother Khan (13) and moved south to Guanglu, outside the Great Wall, to make friends with the Western Han Dynasty, stipulating that "Han and Xiongnu are a family, and they should not bully each other." He entered Chang 'an for three times and asked Emperor Han Yuan to kiss him. When Wang Zhaojun heard about it, he asked to leave the village for a kiss. When she arrived in Xiongnu, she was named "Hu Ning E Shi" (E Shi, meaning "Queen"), symbolizing that she would bring peace, tranquility and prosperity to Xiongnu. Later, with the support of the Western Han Dynasty, Uhaanyehe took control of the whole territory of Xiongnu, thus making the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty reconciled for half a century. Uhaanyehe killed his brother (attacking his brother Zhi Zhi Khan), which shows that the brothers settled accounts clearly at that time; The charm of power is irresistible. When Xuan Di became the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was strong for a while. At that time, the Xiongnu in the north declined more and more because of internal struggles, and finally split into five Khan forces. One of them, named Hu, has always been on good terms with the Han family, and once personally took a letter to the emperor. After the death of Emperor Gaozu Xuan Di, Yuan Di ascended the throne. In 33 BC, Xie Han was summoned to Chang 'an again, asking to be close to the Han Dynasty. Yuan Di agreed and decided to choose a maid-in-waiting as a princess to marry Uhaanyehe.

There are many ladies-in-waiting who are selected from the harem. They are locked in the palace all day and want to leave the palace, but they are unwilling to marry the Huns. The minister in charge is in a hurry. At this time, a maid-in-waiting resolutely expressed her willingness to kiss the Huns. Her name is Wang Qi, also known as Zhaojun. She is beautiful and knowledgeable. When the minister heard that Wang Zhaojun was willing to go, he quickly reported to Yuan Di. Yuan Di told his ministers to choose an auspicious day, so that Hu Hanye and Zhaojun became relatives in Chang 'an. Khan is very happy and excited to get such a beautiful young wife. Before returning to Xiongnu, when Wang Zhaojun bid farewell to Emperor Han Yuan, Emperor Han Yuan saw her beautiful, dignified and lovely, and wanted to keep her, but it was too late. It is said that after Yuan Di returned to the palace, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. How could he not find such a beautiful woman in the harem He asked people to take out the portrait of Zhaojun in the portrait of the maid-in-waiting, only to know that Zhaojun in the portrait was far from being cute. Why is it painted like this? It turned out that the ladies-in-waiting were generally not directly selected by the emperor, but a painter painted a portrait and handed it over to the emperor to decide whether to be selected. At that time, Mao Yanshou, a painter, painted portraits for ladies-in-waiting, and the ladies-in-waiting wanted to give him gifts to make him paint people beautifully. Wang Zhaojun was dissatisfied with this kind of corruption and extortion and refused to give gifts, so Mao Yanshou didn't paint Wang Zhaojun's beauty truthfully. Therefore, Yuan Di was furious and punished Mao Yanshou. Wang Zhaojun rode away from Chang 'an and was escorted by officials of the Han Dynasty and Xiongnu. She braved the biting cold wind beyond the Great Wall and came all the way to Xiongnu area to be Uhaanyehe's wife.

Zhaojun gradually got used to the life of Xiongnu and got along well with Xiongnu. While persuading Khan not to fight, she passed on the culture of the Central Plains to Xiongnu, so that Xiongnu and Han Dynasty lived in harmony for 60 years. Zhaojun was buried in Daqing Mountain controlled by Xiongnu after his death. Huns built her grave and regarded her as a fairy. Zhaojun tomb is the tomb of the Qing Dynasty.

Later, in order to avoid Si Mazhao's taboo, Zhaojun changed his name to Wang Mingjun.

"The Tatar song on her jade guitar tells her eternal sadness." In the poet's eyes, Wang Zhaojun may be sad, but in any case, Wang Zhaojun is strong. She married the Huns for her motherland, and came all the way, over mountains and mountains, all the way to the Huns. She has no regrets and brought peace to the Han Dynasty and Xiongnu for more than 60 years.
