First, Wang Zhaojun's poems

A song of complaint, a word of complaint.

Second, life.

Wang Zhaojun, who entered the palace, was born in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, an ordinary local family named Zigui (now Xingshan County, Hubei Province). In the first year of Zhao Jian, Emperor of the Han and Yuan Dynasties, Wang Zhaojun was selected to enter the palace after collecting beautiful women from all over the world. At that time, Emperor Han Yuan was over 40 years old, and he was weak due to indulgence. Although Wang Zhaojun lives a luxurious life, he is just a bird in a cage and a fish in a pond. There are three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem. It's Wang Zhaojun's turn. I don't know when, even if it's his turn, what can he do? Wang Zhaojun may also get lost in the harem. But a diplomatic incident changed Wang Zhaojun's life. This matter should start with the biggest enemy of the Han Dynasty, the Huns. When Emperor Gaozu Xuan Di proclaimed himself emperor, civil strife broke out in the Xiongnu, and the five khans were divided and attacked each other endlessly. One of them, Uhaanyehe, was defeated by other khans and fled to the Han Dynasty, where he personally appeared before the Emperor Xuan Di. Known as Shaanxi, it is the first Shan Yu in the Central Plains. Emperor Xuan Di personally went to the outskirts of Chang 'an to meet him and held a grand banquet for him. Uhaanyehe lived in Chang 'an for more than a month. When he came back, Xuan Di sent two generals to lead ten thousand people to escort him to Monan. At that time, the Huns were short of food, and Emperor Xuandi of Emperor Gaozu sent 34,000 stones of food. Uhaanyehe is very grateful. Seeing that the Han Dynasty was so kind to Uhaanyehe, all countries in the western regions scrambled to deal with the Han Dynasty.

After the emperor died, his son Liu ascended the throne, that is, Emperor Hanzhao called Wang Zhaojun into the palace. At this time, Uhaanyehe had a good relationship with the Han Dynasty. In 33 BC, Uhaanyehe went to Chang 'an again, and this time he asked for intimacy. The proposal of "pro-marriage" was first put forward by Lou Jingde during the reign of Emperor Gaozu. The situation at that time was that the Xiongnu was strong and the Han was weak, and Lv Hou had only one daughter, so he couldn't bear to marry far away. Therefore, Qin and Qin always choose an emperor's daughter to marry as a princess. But this time, Emperor Han Yuan decided to choose a maid of honor for him. The reason may be that the Han Dynasty was stronger than the Xiongnu in the Han and Yuan Dynasties, and it was not necessary to choose the daughter of royalty. After all, there are not many daughters of royalty, but there are many maids. Moreover, Uhaanyehe was in Chang 'an at this time, and let his daughter pretend to be a princess. How can such a big thing be fooled by him? In other words, Emperor Han Yuan sent a message to the harem. The ladies in the palace are like birds in cages, all vying to go out. But when they heard that they were going to the Huns in the desert, their enthusiasm suddenly disappeared. Wang Zhaojun, unwilling to be a white-headed maid, resolutely pleaded and volunteered to go to Xiongnu. Legend has it that many stories happened here, such as the story of the painter Mao Yanshou, but most of them were added by later generations, but it also shows the importance of this pro-event from the side. When Zhao Jun went out to visit relatives in the frontier, he looked at the yellow sand all over the sky and flew alone in the south. I was so sad that I couldn't think of it, so I played the pipa. A song "Journey to the Frontier" is filled with nostalgia and a trace of missing, and the sound makes people cry, while the geese flying in the south look at the amazing woman and listen to the plaintive piano sound, and land on the flat beach, becoming the eternal swan song of "Wild geese in Pingsha". "Zhaojun's departure from the fortress" is an important event in Sino-Hungarian exchanges. It is recorded in the History of Han Dynasty, Biography of Xiongnu and Biography of Southern Xiongnu, especially in the History of Han Dynasty: "Zhaojun is beautiful in character, and the people in Nanjun are also famous. At the beginning, in Yuan Di, he was elected to the court because of his good family. At that time, Xie Han was called to Korea, and the emperor gave it to five maids. How old was Zhao Jun when he entered the palace? He was not allowed to see the royal family, and he accumulated sadness and resentment. He asked the court to order him to do it. Called to leave the meeting, the emperor called five women to show that Zhaojun was rich, Ming Han Palace, Gu Gui, moved around. Seeing that he was frightened, the emperor wanted to keep it, but it was hard to break his word, so he agreed to the Xiongnu. Have two sons. When Xie Han died, E Shi's son wanted his wife on his behalf. Zhaojun wrote a letter asking him to come back, and the emperor ordered him to follow Hu's custom, so he returned. " In this paper, Zhao Jun's automatic journey, Yuan Di's "intentional stay" for Zhao Jun's beauty and other stories are very vivid, which vividly show Zhao Jun's beauty on paper.

After the marriage, Wang Zhaojun came to Xiongnu and was very affectionate with Uhaanyehe. He was named "Hu Ning E Shi" and gave birth to a son for Uhaanyehe, named wise dentist, who was named the son of heaven by the king. In the third year of marriage, namely 3 1 year BC, Uhaanyehe died. E Shi's eldest son Diao Dao Mogao inherited Khan's position. According to the custom of Xiongnu, Wang Zhaojun became the wife of Diao Tamoga. Young Khan is more sympathetic to Wang Zhaojun, and the life of husband and wife is very loving and sweet. They gave birth to two daughters in succession, the eldest named Yun and the second named Dang, and later married the Xiongnu nobles respectively. Diao Tao Mogao and Wang Zhaojun died after eleven years of husband and wife life. At this time, it was the year of Emperor Hongjiayuan of Hanjing. Wang Zhaojun is thirty-three years old, which is the glorious prime of life. There was no need to get married, so he took part in the political activities of Xiongnu in his spare time, which really played a lot of communication and reconciliation roles in the friendly relations between Xiongnu and Hanting! Wang Zhaojun's brother was made a marquis by the imperial court, and he was ordered to meet his sister in Xiongnu for many times. Wang Zhaojun's two daughters once served Empress Dowager Cixi, namely Wang Zhengjun, the empress of the Han Dynasty. She has a famous nephew, Wang Mang, who first succumbed to the corporal to gain a false reputation, and then played a so-called "abdication system" in the Yao, Shun and Yu era, seized the Western Han regime and established a "new dynasty", but Xiongnu Khan thought, "If you are not a descendant of Liu, how can you be the emperor of China?" So the frontiers are one after another, and the troubles are endless. Seeing that the peaceful years he created were destroyed, Wang Zhaojun died in bitterness and despair and was buried in the south bank of the river. The cemetery is still there. It is said that the grass outside the Great Wall is yellow after autumn, but the grass on Wang Zhaojun's tomb is green, so it is called "Qingling". There is another explanation about "Qinghai-Tibet": "Clouds are broad and blue": "Wang Zhaojun's tomb has no vegetation, but from a distance, it is covered with indigo naturalis, so it is called Yunqingzang." "Journey to the North" also said: "There are many white sands outside the Great Wall, and the air reflects them. Where there are mountains and villages, the sky has no color. If you pour thick ink, Zhaojun's tomb is hazy and distant, so it is called Qinghai-Tibet. " There are many poems that always refer to "Qingling". For example, Bai Juyi's "No green grave, pedestrians pour wine." Du Mu's "Water flows in front of Qingyi, and clouds fall in Yanzhishan." Du Fu's "She went out of the Purple Palace into the desert, and now she has become a green grave in the twilight"

Third, hometown

Wang Zhaojun's hometown is Baoping Village, Xingshan County, Yichang City, Hubei Province. Zhaojun Memorial Hall is solemn in shape, smooth in structure, simple in carving, elegant in pattern, and covered with corners, while flying like a dragon and dancing like a phoenix. In the center of the museum stands a 2.8-meter-high white marble statue of Wang Zhaojun. She is pure, charming, dignified, quiet and elegant, which fully reproduces the elegance and beauty of Zhaojun, lifelike and lifelike.

Fourth, textual research

It is not clear when Wang Zhaojun died. Zhao Jun was buried in the Qing Tomb after her death, but experts said it was just her cenotaph. Where Wang Zhaojun is buried can only be a mystery forever. Modern historians have different opinions about the historical merits and demerits of "Zhao Jun's departure from the fortress" in 33 BC.

Poets and poets almost insisted that Wang Zhaojun was suffering beyond the Great Wall, so he was also sad and sympathetic. Scholar Bai Yang thinks that China is rich and powerful, but what does it have to do with Wang Zhaojun? She can only be trapped in the small world of the court. And the small world of the imperial court, in the Xiongnu khanate, is the same, the top enjoyment. Moreover, just after Wang Zhaojun's farewell, in 33 BC, Emperor Liu _. If you leave her, the best ending is just an ordinary little maid-in-waiting occasionally played by Emperor Hanyuan. She will guard the spiritual fulcrum and never contact with each other. In fact, when Wang Zhaojun married Uhaanyehe, her happiness really began. She became the favorite concubine of Huns Khan. Because of her beautiful face and strong background from China, she has a very prominent position in the court of Xiongnu. In contrast, she stayed in Chang 'an and was imprisoned in the grave garden. There is a vast sky beyond the Great Wall, which makes her rich with love and the warmth of life.

Mr. Bai Yang's point of view is only a hypothesis, and it is a bit inappropriate to infer the previous development by what will happen in the future. Because the development of things is regular and unknown. And if what Mr. Bai Yang said is only one aspect, there are many other aspects that you can't think of, and the development of things will not follow the known results that we can think of. Under the ancient foreign policy, Zhaojun's leaving the fortress certainly played a certain role, and the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
