Four beauties in ancient China?

The stories of Xi, Wang Zhaojun, Diophantine and Yang Yuhuan are also called the four beauties in ancient China.

Shi, formerly known as Shi Yiguang, was born in Zhuluo Village, Zhuji, Zhejiang during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Born beautiful. At that time, Yue claimed to be a vassal state of Wu, and Gou Jian, the king of Yue, tried to revive the country. When the country was in trouble, Shi endured humiliation and gave his life for the country. Together with Zheng Dan, she was introduced by Gou Jian, the King of Yue, to Fu Cha, the king of Wu, and became his favorite concubine. She confused the King of Yue with his relatives and left him behind, thus playing a cover role for Gou Jian's comeback and showing the noble thoughts and sentiments of a patriotic woman. After Wu was finally destroyed by Gou Jian. According to legend, after the destruction of Wu, the stone and boating in the five lakes, I do not know where to go, has been missed by future generations.

Shi Yiguang lives in Xiazhuluo Village (now Nanhuangsha Village in Zhuji) of Zhuluoshan (also known as Luoshan). Zhu Luo has two villages, East and West, and Yi Guang lives in the West Village, hence the name Shi. Father sells firewood, mother washes yarn, and Shi Jing often washes yarn by the stream, so she is also called yarn washing girl. Shi was born beautiful, and her talent is unparalleled. According to legend, even the morbidness of frowning and caressing the chest was imitated by neighbors, so there was an allusion of "learning from the east". In the third year of Gou Jian, the King of Yue (494 BC), Fu Cha defeated the State of Yue in Fujiao (now southwest of Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province). Gou Jian, the King of Yue, retreated to Huiji Mountain (now south of Shaoxing in Xijiang River), was besieged by Wu Jun, and was forced to make peace with Wu, where Gou Jian became a hostage. After his release, Gou Jian designed a plan to "get Shi and these two working girls in Zhuji Luoshan" for the weakness of "the prince of Wu is lustful" and prepared to give it to the prince of Wu. A maid-in-waiting favored by the King of Yue said: "A real beauty must have three conditions, one is beauty, the other is being good at singing and dancing, and the third is posture." History only has the first condition, but it lacks the other two conditions. So, I spent three years teaching singing, dancing, walking and manners.

Xi trained hard, danced in melodious music, and then conducted etiquette training. A girl who plays tulle has become a very cultured maid-in-waiting, showing her beauty, treating people well and being very decent. Then, he made her a magnificent palace dress and presented it to the king of Wu. Prince Fu Cha was overjoyed. He built spring night Palace in Gusu, a large pool with a dragon boat in it. He played with the stone and built pavilions for it to sing, dance and feast, such as pavilions and mourning halls. Shi is good at dancing. Fu Cha specially built a "noisy corridor" for her. She used hundreds of vats, covered them with boards and put them on.

After Wu's death, it is said that the teacher went boating in five lakes and disappeared.

On the route of history entering Wu, there are traces of history from south to Zhuji and north to Suzhou. At the foot of Zhuluo Mountain in Zhuji and along the banks of Huansha River, there are still historical sites such as Huansha Stone, Huansha Pavilion, Xishitan, Xishifang and Xishitang.

Stone has the posture of "sinking fish". It is said that when Shi washed gauze by the stream, the fish in the water were attracted by her beauty, forgot to swim and even sank to the bottom. So later generations used "sinking fish" to describe the beauty of women. If you sink a fish, you are ashamed of flowers. Among the four beauties, it is the first. Shi inherited the industry of Huansha and was called "Huansha Girl" by the world.

Later generations built a shrine at the foot of Zhuluo Mountain in memory of this beautiful woman who endured humiliation and devoted herself to her life. Li Shangyin, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty (836-840 AD), wrote a poem "Learning Chinese characters to find the lost temple, and Zhao Jun to find the old village". Later, the poetess Yu wrote another poem called "Stone Temple". This is the earliest writing about the stone temple that can be seen at present. In the Ming Dynasty, Xizi Temple had a considerable scale. Since then, it has been repeated like this. The current Xishi Guild Hall is located in Zhuji, Zhejiang Province, and was built in 1990. Covering an area of 5,000 square meters, the scenic spot consists of the gatehouse, Xishitang, Gu Yue Terrace, Zhengdanting, the stele gallery, the red pink pond, the sunken fish pond, the fairy pavilion and other scenic spots. During the reconstruction process, Xishi Temple Scenic Area also collected12,000 pieces of ancient architectural components removed from old houses, including beams, columns, doors, windows, brackets, square clearing, bucket arches, sparrow replacement and so on. These wood and stone components are exquisitely carved and exquisitely crafted, which greatly enhances the historical and cultural connotation and ornamental value of Xishi Temple and enriches it.

Wang Zhaojun, surnamed Wang, was born in Zigui, Nanjun (now Xingshan County, Hubei Province). Xiongnu Uhaanyehe E Shi. She was chosen as a "good family" in the Han and Yuan Dynasties. At that time, Xie Han was called to Korea, and the Emperor gave it to five women. Wang Zhaojun entered the palace for several years, but he didn't see the royal family, and he resented it. He asked the court to order him to do it. The emperor told Xie Han to leave the meeting and called five women to perform. Zhao Jun's "rich and beautiful ornaments, Ming Han Palace, wandering, walking" saw that he was frightened, wanted to keep it, and it was difficult to break his word, so he married the Xiongnu. "("were "volume eighty-nine" biography of the southern huns ")

Wang Zhaojun was born in Baoping Village (now Zhaojun Village, Xingshan County, Hubei Province) in 52 BC. In the third year of Yong 'an (AD 260), Jingdi was enfeoffed to Xingshan County in the north of Zigui, with Xiangxi as the city boundary and Qiang as the local people, so Yunzhaojun was the county. His father, the king and his eldest daughter are regarded as the apple of his eye, and his brother and sister-in-law also love him very much. Wang Zhaojun was born beautiful and intelligent, and his piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were all exquisite. "There is nothing in Emei, which can make flowers ashamed of the forest." Zhaojun's peerless talent spread all over Nanjun and Beijing along the Xiangxi River. In 36 BC, Emperor Hanyuan showed the world that all women in the world should choose. Wang Zhaojun is the first choice of Nanjun. Yuan Di wrote to order him to enter Beijing some other day. Her father, Mao Yunwang, said, "My daughter is too young to obey her orders." But it's hard to disobey the sacred command. In the mid-spring of 36 BC, Wang Zhaojun bid farewell to his parents and villagers, boarded the carved dragon and phoenix official ship Shunxiangxi, entered the Yangtze River and crossed the Qinshan River, which lasted for three months. In the early summer of the same year, he arrived in the capital Chang 'an for a banquet. Legend has it that after Wang Zhaojun entered the palace, he refused to bribe the painter Mao Yanshou because of his beauty, so Mao Yanshou drew a mole on her portrait. Zhaojun was banished to the cold palace for three years and had no chance to see him. In 33 BC, Uhaanyehe, the leader of the Northern Xiongnu, came to the Han Dynasty on his own initiative, surrendered to the Han Dynasty and asked for a kiss to form a friendship. Emperor Han Yuan summoned the concubines in the harem as much as possible, and Wang Zhaojun stepped forward and responded generously. Yuan Di heard that there was such a beautiful person in the harem who wanted to keep it, but it was hard to break his word. He gave her twenty-eight thousand brocade, sixteen thousand catties of cotton wool, jade and other valuables, and personally delivered them to Chang 'an for more than ten miles. Surrounded by teams of chariots and horses, Wang Zhaojun shouldered the heavy responsibility of approaching Han and Hungary. He left Chang 'an, left Tongguan, crossed the Yellow River and Yanmen, which lasted more than a year and arrived in Mobei in the early summer of the following year. He was warmly welcomed by the Xiongnu people and was named "Wang", which meant that the Xiongnu had a China daughter "Wang's wife" and peace was guaranteed.

After Zhaojun left the fortress, the two ethnic groups of Han and Hungary were United and harmonious, and the country was prosperous and peaceful. "Border towns are closed, cattle and horses are wild, dogs in the third world bark without warning, and Li Shu forgets to fight", showing a thriving scene of peace. In 3 1 BC, Uhaanyehe died, leaving a son named Yituzhi. Later, the Huns chased the son of heaven. At that time, Wang Zhaojun put the overall situation first and endured great grievances. According to the Xiongnu custom of "the father dies and the wife is the stepmother", he married Huhanye's eldest son, but he was tired of carving Tamoga and gave birth to two more daughters. The name of the eldest daughter must be the second child, and the name of the second daughter should be the second child ("second child" means princess). In 20 BC, Khan died after replanting, and Zhaojun was widowed. A year later, Wang Zhaojun, a 33-year-old peerless beauty, died and was buried in the southern suburbs of Hohhot, with a tomb beside Daqingshan and the Yellow River. Later, people called it "Qingling Mausoleum".

The story of diusim diusim is a geisha of Wang Yun, minister of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. She not only looks like a bright moon, but also can sing and dance well. One night, when she was in Yue Bai's garden, a cloud covered the moon. Wang Yun proudly said, "The moon is not as good as my daughter. She has been shyly hiding behind the clouds." Since then, diusim's story has been called "Moon Pass".

Concise romantic biography

The story of diusim is a respectable woman who gave her life to serve her country in romance. In order to save the people of the world and overthrow the dissolute rule of Dong Zhuo, a powerful minister, she was entrusted by Wang Yun to stage an epic series of tricks (serial honey trap), which was staged between two men, successfully alienating Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, and finally Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, ending the dark period of Dong Zhuo's autocracy.

In 19 1 year, Dong thief was 57 years old. According to the arrangement of the romance, the story of Diusim was 16 years old. To tell the truth, diusim's story is unlucky. She just sighed in the yard, perhaps because the girl fell in love with spring, or because her new clothes were dirty. Wang Yun came over and scolded, "Can a bitch have an affair?" Diusim's story has to find some high-sounding reasons: "When you see adults frowning, there must be state affairs, but you are afraid to ask. I feel uneasy again tonight, so I sigh deeply. Don't want to peep for adults. If you are useful to me, you can go to hell! " That's a kind word. Later, it became a famous serial stratagem. The story of diusim is excellent. But this is a huge test for her. Dealing with two men is a very troublesome thing. Although these two things are idiots, they have the name of father and son after all. As long as they confront each other face to face, it is easy for them to know the situation. After Dong thief died, Romantic explained: "When Lu Bu went to Meiwu, he took the story of Diusim first." Later, the story of diusim did something stupid, urging Lu Bu to break through. Then Lu Bu died, and the story of Diusim disappeared.

There are all kinds of legends among the people, which exaggerate the stories of Diusim and Guan Yu. I don't need to go into details.

Let's talk about the story of losing Sim's real name first. In one of Guan Hanqing's plays, her surname is Ren and her word is Hongchang. Because he was in charge of the story of losing Xin's hat in the palace, he was named the story of Xin.

The CCTV version of The Romance of The Three Kingdoms has the best ending story:

Purple world of mortals, ancient west wind road, love affair, old horse and old car. The story of diusim, wearing a red dress, finally took a look at Chang 'an, which was once very prosperous, and then the curtain fell. At this moment, the dust of the Millennium was locked out of the car by her, and the world had nothing to do with her.

There is a song: "I know nothing about God's will. The meditation table became the guillotine. Where can I find the emperor's dream? Away from the hustle and bustle, bid farewell to the Longmen. I didn't turn it into mine, and I missed the cardamom years. In return for Stuart's kindness, I gave up this beautiful body. From now on, I will never see my son again, and I will never hear his voice again. The story of diusim has gone with the wind and turned into a white cloud. "

The story of Diesin's death:

The story of diusim does not exist in the Three Kingdoms. In the dramatist's words, she was born, and so was her fate. The Yuan drama "The Story of Guan Wang Chopping Sim on a Moonlight Night" tells the story of Lu Bu's defeat and Zhang Fei's capture of Sim, and gave her to him. Guan Gong reads Spring and Autumn Annals at night. When he sees that the books are full of witches who have gone astray, he decides to kill the story of Deusim. This is not a fabrication. According to Ji Shu's quotation in the biography of Guan Yu, Guan Yu asked Cao Cao to give him a wife from Qin before the war. When the city was broken, Cao Cao was furious, changed his mind and took it for himself. This incident is also recorded in Wei's Spring and Autumn Annals. Folk artists believe that Qin's wife is the story of Diexin, which has not been verified. Because Guan Yu was lovelorn, he was furious, so the zaju artist made a play "Chop the Sable" accordingly.

The scene of "the story of Guan Wang beheading Diusim on a moonlit night" later evolved into: Guan Yu respects the story of Diusim and wants to release her. Unexpectedly, the dragon crescent moon blade leaning against the wall fell and killed the story of diusim by mistake; Or the story of Guan Yu killing diusim with a knife, just to kill people ... In short, diusim's story was killed after all.

The story of diusim was born in Muer Village, Jiuyuan County, Bingzhou County. At the age of 65,438+05, he was elected to the palace, in charge of the crown of The Story of Diusim worn by courtiers, and changed his name to The Story of Diusim. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the court storm suddenly broke out, and the story of Diusim went out of the palace and was adopted by Stuart Wang Yun. Soon Dong Zhuo was authoritarian. Wang Yun made use of the lewd characteristics of Dong and Lu to make the story of Diusim play a "series of tricks", which eventually prompted Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo and made great contributions. Later, diusim became the story of Lu Bu's concubine. After Lu Bu died in the White Gate Tower, Cao Cao repeated the "serial stratagem" to the Taoyuan brothers and gave it to Guan Yu. In order not to hurt the Taoyuan brothers, Diusim's story was protected by Guan Yu and escaped as a nun. When Cao Cao learned about it, he arrested the story of Diusim, and the story of Diusim fell to his sword and died.

============================================================

Yang Yuhuan (A.D. 7 19-756): A court musician and dancer in the Tang Dynasty, whose musical talent is really rare among the queens of past dynasties. His ancestral home is Yongle, Zhou Pu (now Yongji, Shaanxi). In June of the seventh year of Kaiyuan 1 Born in Shu County (now Chengdu, Sichuan), he was born in a famous family. His great grandfather, Wang Yang, was a minister of the Sui Dynasty and was killed by Li Shimin in the early Tang Dynasty. His father Yang Xuanyan is a manager in Shu, and his uncle Yang Xuanxuan is from Henan. Yang Yuhuan spent his childhood in Sichuan.

Yang Yuhuan's natural beauty and superior educational environment make her have a certain cultural accomplishment, graceful personality, proficient in temperament, good at singing and dancing, and good at playing the pipa.

In July of the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, Princess Xianyi, the daughter of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, held a wedding in Luoyang, and Yang Yuhuan was also invited to attend. Li Mao, Shouwang, the younger brother of Princess Xianyang, fell in love with Yang Yuhuan at first sight. At the request of Wu Huifei, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty named her Shouwang. After marriage, the two are extremely sweet.

On the seventh day of December in the 25th year of Kaiyuan, Wu Huifei, the favorite of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, died of illness, and Xuanzong was unhappy. Under the recommendation of Gao Lishi, a trusted eunuch, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty turned his attention to Yang Yuhuan, a daughter-in-law similar to Wu Huifei.

In October of the 28th year of Kaiyuan, Yang Yuhuan, who had been married to Li Mao for five years, left Shouwangfu and went to Lishan. At this time, she was only 22 years old, and Xuanzong was 56 years old. Xuanzong shilled her to become a monk in recognition of her mother, Dou Taihou, and gave her the name of "too true".

In the fourth year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty made Wei's daughter a princess, and then she became a imperial concubine. Since Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty abolished the king and queen, there has been no queen, so Yang Guifei is equivalent to the queen.

Since entering the palace, Yang Yuhuan has followed the feudal imperial court system, but he has not asked about state affairs or intervened in power struggles. With her charming, docile and extraordinary musical talent, she was favored by Xuanzong in all aspects. Although she was angered by Xuanzong because of jealousy and was sent out of the palace twice, it was still difficult for Xuanzong to give up her. It was not until the Anshi Rebellion that Emperor Xuanzong fled to the west with Yang Guifei. When Ma Jipo was remonstrated, Yang Guifei was forced to die at the age of 38.
