What is the story of Zhao Jun's departure from the fortress?

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Xiongnu was defeated. Since then, it has been impossible to invade the south on a large scale, and small-scale harassment still occurs from time to time. Because the Han Dynasty deployed powerful troops in the northwest, the harassment of Xiongnu was often repelled quickly. In the first year of Emperor Wufeng (57 BC), there were five struggles for sovereignty within the Huns, one after another, forming a situation in which Khan and Hu (pronounced Y ē here) fought against the north and the south. Finally, Zhi Zhi Khan defeated Uhaanyehe, and Uhaanyehe moved south and surrendered to the Han Dynasty.

In the third year of Ganlu (5 1 BC), Uhaanyehe went to Chang 'an to see Xuan Di, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xuandi of Emperor Gaozu received him with a very grand ceremony, and gave him a first-class coat and hat, a gold seal of purple ribbon, a first-class sword, sabre, bow and arrow, halberd and other weapons, a car with jewels and fifteen horses pulling carts. In addition, he was given 20 Jin of gold, 200,000 RMB and 8,000 silks and satins. Xuan Di, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, led hundreds of civil and military officials of the Alliance Dynasty, leaders of various ethnic minorities, princes and people in Chang 'an, and personally went out of Chang 'an to meet Xiongnu guests, and held a grand welcoming ceremony next to Wei Qiao. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty invited us to board Wei Qiao together, and people shouted "Long live" to the emperor and the distinguished guests from afar. Seeing such a big scene, Uhaanyehe was very moved and kept thanking Emperor Xuan Di. Then, Xuan Di, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, invited Uhaanyehe to a banquet in the palace and invited him to visit the treasures collected in the palace.

Uhaanyehe lived in Chang 'an for a month. Dong Zhong, Changle Wei, and Han Chang, a captain of chariots and horses, were sent back. Lead 16 thousand cavalry to escort him home. Xuan Di, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, also sent people to send 34,000 welcome grains to the Huns.

Zhi Zhi Khan saw that Uhaanyehe got so many benefits after he surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and was afraid that the Han Dynasty would send troops to support Uhaanyehe to attack him. He quickly sent messengers to appear before Xuan Di, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and also sent many local products. Xuan Di, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, also received the special envoy of Zhi Zhi Khan very politely and returned many valuable gifts. However, the relationship between Zhili and Han Dynasty was always inferior to that of Uhaanyehe. Zhizhi knew that his strength was insufficient, and he was afraid that the Han Dynasty would support attacking him, so he had to move westward.

Xuan Di, Emperor Zhao of Han Dynasty, reigned for twenty-five years, at the age of forty-three. His son Liu succeeded to the throne and became the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

In the first month of the first year of Emperor Jingning of the Han Dynasty (33 BC), Uhaanyehe came to Chang 'an again. In order to show that he wanted to be friendly with the Han dynasty for generations, he asked the emperor of the Han dynasty to allow him to marry the Han dynasty. Emperor Han Yuan agreed to his request and sent someone to the harem to look for a maid-in-waiting with both talents and looks, ready to marry Uhaanyehe as his wife.

At the beginning of the Han and Yuan emperors' accession to the throne, Gong Yu, an admonition officer, suggested reducing the number of maids. Many maids were sent out, but many maids remained. These ladies-in-waiting are all elected from the people. As soon as they were elected to the palace, they lost their freedom like a caged bird. Many ladies-in-waiting want them to leave the palace, marry a husband and live a free life. But now they are going to marry the Huns far away from the Great Wall, where the weather is freezing, the language is unreasonable and the living habits are very different, so they are hesitant and unwilling to choose.

There was a maid-in-waiting named Wang, whose family was well-off, and she studied for several years when she was a child. Her scientific name is Zhaojun. She has just been elected to the palace and has never met the emperor. Wang Zhaojun heard that the Huns were going to marry the Han Dynasty, and thought it was a major event related to the reconciliation between the Huns and the Han Dynasty. She decided to choose Xiongnu. The official in charge of this matter told Emperor Han Yuan that he wanted to prepare a dowry for Wang Zhaojun, and found a Xiongnu woman to explain Xiongnu customs and habits to Wang Zhaojun, teach her to learn Xiongnu language and play instruments such as pipa and huqin in the western regions. Wang Zhaojun studied hard and soon learned the Xiongnu dialect and played very beautiful music.

On the wedding day, the groom Uhaanyehe personally came to marry the bride Wang Zhaojun according to the custom of the Han Dynasty. The bride and groom met the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Han and Yuan gave them many possessions and gave them a banquet to see them off. When the bride and groom left Chang 'an to return to Xiongnu, the civil and military officials sent them all the way to Shili Pavilion. Wang Zhaojun, holding the pipa, rode on a horse and set off with joy and sorrow in his heart. What makes her happy is that she has contributed to the reconciliation between the Hungarian and Chinese peoples, and has relied on her life since then; Sadly, I left my parents' country and never came back. Wang Zhaojun immediately thought for a while, and soon composed his contradictory mood into a tune, playing while walking. People call this piece "Zhao Jun's Complaint". In fact, the content of this piece of music is not entirely sad and angry. Later, some people called Wang Zhaojun Princess Han Ming, and "Zhao Jun's Complaints" was also called "Fei Ming Qu".

Wang Zhaojun, an ancient bronze ware, sent an envoy to Xiongnu to help Uhaanyehe develop Xiongnu production and reform some backward customs of nomadic people. From about the time when Wang Zhaojun arrived in Xiongnu, Huns learned to use agricultural production tools imported from Han Dynasty, gradually developed agricultural production, and basically solved their own food needs. They no longer go to the Han areas to rob food, and they no longer rely on the relief of the Han government. Because of the development of agriculture, livestock feed is more secure and animal husbandry is more developed. Zhi Khan led his people westward, and Uhaanyehe took over Zhi Khan's territory in the north. Under Uhaanyehe's rule, the Huns appeared a scene of co-prosperity between man and beast.

Uhaanyehe worships the Chinese culture and respects Wang Zhaojun very much. The relationship between husband and wife is harmonious. In the second year of Xiongnu, Wang Zhaojun gave birth to a son, named Yi Tu Zhi Ya, who was named the right-wing king of Xiongnu when he grew up. After the death of Uhaanyehe, according to the customs of Xiongnu, Wang Zhaojun remarried to the newly established complex factory, tired and Khan, and gave birth to two daughters, one named Xu Buju and the other named Dangju.

Wang Zhaojun is the wife of Hun Khan, and her status is similar to that of the Empress of the Han Dynasty. Out of the fortress, it is inconvenient to go back to the Han Dynasty. But Wang Zhaojun loves his parents' country and often sends messengers back. Sometimes he also asked Khan to send messengers to give some local products of Xiongnu to the emperor of Han Dynasty. The emperor of the Han dynasty also gave back some gold, silver, jewelry and silks and satins. Since Zhaojun left the fortress, Xiongnu and Han Dynasty lived in harmony for a long time, and there was no war for more than 60 years.

When Wang Zhaojun was old, he made a will and asked her to be buried in the suburb of Guihua (now Hohhot, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), with the grave facing south, so that she could look at her parents' motherland from a distance. After her death, her children chose a sunny hillside and built a grave for her. Desert areas are cold and dry, and grass in most places only grows for a short time in summer. However, it is said that Zhaojun's tomb is blessed with sunshine and water, and the grass on the tomb grows very long and is lush most of the year, so later generations call Zhaojun's tomb "Green Tomb".

In order to reconcile the Han nationality with the Xiongnu, Wang Zhaojun voluntarily married the Xiongnu and made contributions to the formation of the national family of the motherland.
