Which of the four beauties in ancient China was the youngest?

The four beauties in ancient China traditionally refer to Shi (sinking fish), Wang Zhaojun (falling geese), Diophantine (closing the moon) and Yang Guifei (feeling ashamed of flowers).

Shi, spring and autumn people

King zhaojun of the western Han dynasty

The Story Of Diu Sim, late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Yang Guifei, Tang Dynasty

Compared with the present time, the chronological order is the story of Xi Wang Shizhaojun and Di Xin Yang Guifei.

Sink fish

Legend has it that he danced in the Puyang River in Yue State. When the fish in the water saw her, they all sank to the bottom of the river in surprise.

wild goose

Legend has it that when Zhao Jun went to the fortress, Wang Zhaojun was on his way to the desert, feeling sad about his fate, and he was far away from home, and suddenly he was bored, so he played the Song of Capture. And the geese flying over the horizon, hearing the bitterness and sadness of the tune, were heartbroken and fell to the ground. Therefore, the "wild goose" in "Falling Fish and Wild Goose" got its name.

A closed moon

Legend has it that in the garden of Yue Bai, a cloud obscured the moonlight and was seen by Wang Yun. Since then, Wang Yun told people that The Story Of Diu Sim is more beautiful than the moon, calling it "the moon is closed".

The shame of flowers

Legend has it that Yang Guifei lamented her fate in the garden and stroked the flowers with her hands, perhaps because of mimosa or other reasons. The petals contracted and the leaves hung down. When the maid-in-waiting saw it, she said that Yang Guifei was more beautiful than the flowers, and the flowers bowed their heads in shame.
