Xi Shi, together with Wang Zhaojun, The Story Of Diu Sim and Yang Yuhuan, is called the four beauties in ancient China, among which Xi Shi is the first, which is the embodiment and pronoun of beauty. The four beautiful women enjoy the appearance of "closing the moon and feeling ashamed of flowers, sinking fish and falling geese". "Closing the moon, feeling ashamed of flowers, sinking fish and falling geese" is a historical allusion composed of wonderful stories. "Closed Moon" tells the story of The Story Of Diu Sim and Yue Bai. "Shame on flowers" tells the story of Yang Guifei when she was watching flowers. "Sinking fish" tells the story of Xi Shi when he was washing sand. "Wild goose" is the story of Zhao Jun's departure from the fortress.
In fact, none of us have seen the beauty of Xi Shi. In fact, according to textual research, the four ancient beauties, Xi Shi, The Story Of Diu Sim, Wang Zhaojun and Yang Guifei, all have defects.

On the route of Xi Shi's crossing into Wu, from Zhuji in the south to Suzhou in the north, there are relics of Xi Shi. There are still some historical sites such as Huansha Stone, Huansha Pavilion, Xishitan, Xishifang and Xishi Hall at the foot of Zhuji Zhuluo Mountain and the banks of Huansha River.
Xi Shi has the appearance of "sinking fish". It is said that when Xi Shi was washing gauze by the stream, the fish in the water were attracted by her beauty, so they all forgot to swim and even sank to the bottom. Therefore, later generations used "sinking fish" to describe the beauty of women. If you sink a fish, you will be ashamed of the flowers. Of the four beauties, Xi Shi is the first. Xi Shi inherited the industry of huansha, so she was called "huansha girl" in the world.
Later generations built the Hall of Xi Shi at the foot of Zhuluo Mountain in memory of this peerless beauty who endured humiliation and committed herself to the country. Li Shangyin, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty (836-84 AD), wrote the poem "Xizi searched for the lost temple, zhaojun searched for the old village"; Later, Yu Xuanji, a poetess, wrote another poem, The Temple of Xi Shi. These are the earliest words about the Temple of Xi Shi that can be seen at present. In the Ming Dynasty, Xizi Temple had a considerable scale. Since then, it has been repeated. The current Xishi Temple is located in Zhuji, Zhejiang Province. It was completed in 199, and the scenic spot covers an area of 5, square meters. It consists of the gatehouse, Xishi Hall, Guyuetai, Zhengdan Pavilion, stele gallery, pink pond, sunken fish pond, sages pavilion and other scenic spots. During the rebuilding process, Xishi Temple Scenic Area also collected more than 12, pieces of ancient architectural components removed from old-fashioned houses, including beams, columns, doors, windows, brackets, brackets, sparrows, etc. These wood and stone components are exquisitely carved and have superb craftsmanship, which greatly enhances the historical and cultural connotation and ornamental value of Xishi Temple, making it more local.

Wang Zhaojun's profile
Wang Zhaojun (wáng zhāo jūn) was called the four beauties in ancient China together with Xi Shi, The Story Of Diu Sim and Yang Yuhuan, among which Xi Shi was the first, which was the embodiment and synonym of beauty. The four beautiful women enjoy the appearance of "closing the moon and feeling ashamed of flowers, sinking fish and falling geese". "Closing the moon, feeling ashamed of flowers, sinking fish and falling geese" is a historical allusion composed of wonderful stories. "Closed Moon" tells the story of The Story Of Diu Sim and Yue Bai. "Shame on flowers" tells the story of Yang Guifei when she was watching flowers. "Sinking fish" tells the story of Xi Shi when he was washing sand. "Wild goose" is the story of Zhao Jun's departure from the fortress.
Wang Zhaojun, surnamed Wang Mingni, was born in Zigui, Nanjun (now Xingshan County, Hubei Province). Xiongnu Uhaanyehe E Shi. She was selected as a "good family" in the Han and Yuan Dynasties. At that time, Han Xie was called to the DPRK, and the emperor gave it to five women. Wang Zhaojun has been in the palace for several years, but he can't see the royal family and accumulate sorrow and resentment. He asked the court to order him to do it. Calling Han Xie to leave the meeting, the emperor called five women to show it. Zhaojun's "rich and beautiful ornaments, bright Han Palace, Gu Ying wandering, moving around." When the emperor saw that he was frightened, he wanted to keep it, but it was difficult to break his promise, so he married the Huns. " (The Book of the Later Han Dynasty (volume 89) Biography of the Southern Xiongnu)
Wang Zhaojun was born in Baoping Village, Zigui County, Nanjun County in 52 BC (now Zhaojun Village, Xingshan County, Hubei Province). In the third year of Yong 'an (AD 26), Jingdi was divided into Xingshan County in the north of Zigui, Xiangxi as the city boundary, and Han Wang Qiang was the people of this city, so Yunzhaojun was the county. His father, the king, and his old daughter are regarded as the apple of his eye, and his brother and sister-in-law also dote on him. Wang Zhaojun was born with beauty, unusual intelligence, and exquisite in piano, chess, painting and calligraphy. "Emei can't be found in the world, which can make flowers ashamed in 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 women were selected all over the world. Wang Zhaojun is the first choice for Nanjun. Yuan Di issued a letter, ordering him to enter Beijing on an auspicious day. Her father, King Mao Yun, said, "My daughter is still young, and it is difficult to obey her orders." But it is difficult to disobey the sacred orders. In the mid-spring of 36 BC, Wang Zhaojun said goodbye to his parents and folks, boarded the carved dragon and phoenix official ship Shunxiangxi, entered the Yangtze River, crossed the Qinshan River, and lasted for three months. In the early summer of the same year, he arrived in Chang 'an, the capital city, 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 put a mole on her portrait. Zhaojun was banished to the cold palace for three years, and he didn't have a chance to meet him. In 33 BC, Uhaanyehe, the leader of the northern Xiongnu, took the initiative to come to the Han Dynasty, surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and asked for a kiss to make a lasting friendship. Emperor Han and Yuan called the harem concubines as much as possible, and Wang Zhaojun stepped forward and responded generously. Yuan Di was shocked to hear that there was such a beautiful person in the harem who wanted to keep it, but it was difficult to break his promise, so he rewarded her with 28, pieces of brocade, 16, catties of cotton wool, gold and jade and other valuables, and personally delivered more than ten miles of Chang 'an. Surrounded by teams of horses and chariots, Wang Zhaojun shouldered the heavy responsibility of being close to Han and Hungary. He left Chang 'an, went out of Tongguan, crossed the Yellow River and crossed Yanmen for 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 "Ninghu E Shi", meaning that the Xiongnu had a Chinese daughter as "E Shi" (Wang's wife) and peace was guaranteed.
After Zhaojun's departure from the fortress, the two ethnic groups of Han and Hungary were United and harmonious, and the country was peaceful and the people were safe. "The border town was closed, the cattle and horses were wild, and there was no warning of dogs barking in the third world, and Li Shu forgot the battle of war", showing a prosperous peace scene. In 31 BC, Uhaanyehe died, leaving a son named Yi Tu Zhi Ya, who was later the Huns' right-day king. At that time, Wang Zhaojun put the overall situation first and endured great grievances. According to the Xiongnu custom of "the father died, and the wife was his stepmother", he married the eldest son of Huhanye, but he was tired of carving Tao Mogao, and gave birth to two more daughters. The eldest daughter's name must be second, and the second daughter's name should be second ("second" means princess). In 2 BC, the complex plant was tired and Khan died again, and Zhaojun was widowed since then. A year later, Wang Zhaojun, a 33-year-old peerless beauty, passed away and was buried in the southern suburbs of Hohhot, with the tomb near Daqing Mountain and the Yellow River. Later people called it "Qing Tomb".
People's Comments
Beauty is Bigfoot.
The Story Of Diu Sim has a big eye and a small eye, which should be obvious. Although everyone has big and small eyes, you can't tell if it's not obvious, but The Story Of Diu Sim's estimation is quite obvious.
Wang zhaojun is a shoulder, and her shoulders are high and low.
Yang Guifei is fine. On the surface, she is quite normal, which is in line with the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty. That is fat, but I think what everyone doesn't know is that Yang Guifei has a body odor, so she especially likes bathing.
Beauty also has defects, and the ancient people's aesthetic standards are different from those of modern people, so the so-called four ancient beauties are not necessarily real beauties in modern times.
Xi Shi, formerly known as Shi Yiguang, was born in Zhuluo Village, Zhuji, Zhejiang Province in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Born beautiful. At that time, the State of Yue claimed to be a vassal of the State of Wu, and Gou Jian, the King of Yue, tried to revive the country. At the time of national disaster, Xi Shi endured humiliation and made a commitment to the country. Together with Zheng Dan, she was presented by Gou Jian, the king of Yue, to Fu Cha, the king of Wu, and became the king's favorite concubine, confusing the king with his relatives and leaving him alone, 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. After the destruction of Wu, Xi Shi lost her news. There are many endings about her. One of the two most likely endings is that Xi Shi and Fan Li went boating on the five lakes, and the other was put into a bag by the King of Yue and drowned.
Shi Yiguang lived in Xiazhuluo Village (now Huansha Village in the south of Zhuji City) in Zhuluo Mountain (also known as Luoshan). Zhu Luo has two villages in the east and west, and Yi Guang lives in the west village, hence the name Xi Shi. Her father sells firewood and her mother washes yarn, and Xi Shi often washes yarn in the stream, so she is also called the girl who washes yarn. Xi Shi was born beautiful, and her gift was unparalleled. According to legend, even the morbid state of frowning and caressing her chest was imitated by her neighbors, so there was an allusion that "Dong Shi worked well". 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, Xijiang Province) and was besieged by Wu Jun. He was forced to make peace with the State of Wu, and Gou Jian became a hostage in Wu. After the release, Gou Jian, aiming at the weakness of "the king of Wu is lewd and lustful", and Fan Li designed a plan to "get Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, the salaried women in Luoshan, Zhuji", and prepared to send them to the king of Wu. One of the ladies-in-waiting favored by the king of Yue thought: "A real beauty must have three conditions, one is beauty, the other is good at singing and dancing and the third is posture." Xi Shi only has the first condition, but also lacks the other two conditions. So, it took three years to teach singing and dancing, walking and manners.
Xi Shi worked hard, dancing in melodious music, being graceful and charming, and then training etiquette. A girl who washes the gauze became a well-cultivated maid-in-waiting, and every time she raised her hand and cast her foot, she showed physical beauty, treated people and was very appropriate. Then, he made her a gorgeous and fitting palace dress before offering it to the king of Wu. Fu Cha, the king of Wu, was overjoyed. He built spring night Palace in Gusu, built a big pool, and set up a dragon boat in the pool. He and Xi Shi played for water, and built a pavilion for Xi Shi to perform songs and dances and have a feast, such as a pavilion and a mourning hall. Xi Shi was good at dancing, and Fu Cha specially built a "noisy corridor" for her, using hundreds of large tanks, paving boards and wearing them.
taboo changed its name
In the Jin Dynasty, in order to avoid the taboo of Si Mazhao, the ancestor of Jin Dynasty, it was renamed as Mingjun, which was called "Mingfei" in history.
Wang Zhaojun's historical achievement is not only that she took the initiative to go out to the fortress to kiss her, but also that after she went out to the fortress, she reconciled the Han Dynasty with the Huns, and the beacon of the frontier fortress was extinguished for 5 years, which enhanced the national unity between the Han and Huns, which is in the interests of the Han and Huns people. She and her children, grandchildren and in-laws have made great contributions to the harmony, goodwill and unity of the Hu and Han peoples, so she has been praised by history. Zhao Jie, a poet in Yuan Dynasty, thinks that Wang Zhaojun's contribution is no less than that of Huo Qubing, a famous Han Dynasty. The story of Zhaojun has become an enduring story of national unity in the history of our country.
The Story Of Diu Sim
[ Editor of this paragraph ]
Brief introduction of the characters
The Story Of Diu Sim was the singer of Stuart Wangyun at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. She was very beautiful and had a charming appearance. Seeing that the Eastern Han Dynasty was manipulated by the treacherous court official Dong Zhuo, she burned incense and prayed to heaven under the moon, and was willing to worry her master. Wang Yun saw that Dong Zhuo would usurp the Eastern Han Dynasty and set up a series of stratagems. Wang Yunxian secretly promised The Story Of Diu Sim to Lu Bu, and then Ming dedicated The Story Of Diu Sim to Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu's hero is young, and Dong Zhuo is a wily old fox. In order to win over Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo accepted Lu Bu as his adopted son. Both of them are lecherous people. From then on, The Story Of Diu Sim moved between them, making eyes at Lu Bu and rewarding Dong Zhuo for his charm. The two of them were fascinated.
Lyu3 bu4 has been discontented since Dong Zhuo accepted The Story Of Diu Sim as his concubine. One day, when Lu Bu took Dong Zhuo to court, he visited The Story Of Diu Sim in Dong Zhuo's mansion and invited Feng Yiting to meet him. When The Story Of Diu Sim met Lu Bu, he pretended to cry about his occupation by Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu was angry. At this time, Dong Zhuo ran into him when he returned to the office. Angrily, he grabbed Lu Bu's square painting halberd, stabbed Lu Bu, and Lu Bu flew away. Since then, the two men have been suspicious of each other, and Wang Yun persuaded Lu Bu to eradicate Dong Zhuo.
The Story Of Diu Sim is the most dazzling female image among the few women who appear in The Three Kingdoms, in which men are the main characters. It can be said that it is precisely because of the appearance of The Story Of Diu Sim that Wang Situ skillfully applied a series of tricks, and that Lv Fengxian caused a storm in Fengyi Pavilion, and that Dong Zhuo, who was violent and unscrupulous, was slaughtered in front of the palace, and that Lu Bu, a martial artist, was killed on the gatehouse. The significance of The Story Of Diu Sim's image lies in that in this world where all men compete for hegemony, it successfully shows the courage and wisdom of a stunning woman. It is this extraordinary courage and the application of high wisdom that accelerated the end of the warlord war era at the end of the Han Dynasty and contributed to the rise of a generation of heroes such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, thus enabling the already stormy Han Dynasty to continue.
However, since the death of Lu Bu's White Gate Tower, this courageous strange girl has disappeared. Did you go to Jiuquan with the failed Lu Bu? Or was it taken back to Xuchang by the victorious Cao Cao? This question has not been solved from the beginning of hegemony to the reunification of Jin. Is it because the author inadvertently ignored such an important figure, or because of some consideration, he consciously avoided talking about it? We have no way to prove it. The author is not willing to leave an admirable strange girl without a trace from now on, so he refers to a large number of novels by officials and comments by unofficial history circulating in the society, and finally finds some clues about The Story Of Diu Sim's life experience and ending, and records the following here as an explanation of his curiosity.
about the origin of The Story Of Diu Sim, unofficial history confessed that his real name was Huo, unknown, Shanxi, and he was a fellow countryman with the famous Guan Yu. Since childhood, she has been outstanding and intelligent, so she was elected to the Han Palace as the female official in charge of the headdress and crown in the palace, so she was called the' The Story Of Diu Sim' official. Because of the chaos of ten regular attendants, he took refuge out of the palace and was taken in by Stuart Wangyun as his adopted daughter, which was the feat of alienating Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. As for the ending of The Story Of Diu Sim, there is a comment that after the death of Lu Bu, The Story Of Diu Sim was brought back to Xuchang by Cao Cao, and stayed in the Prime Minister's mansion as a maid. After Guan Yu's temporary resignation from Tushan, Cao Cao gave ten beautiful women in order to win Guan Yu's heart, and The Story Of Diu Sim was one of them. When Guan Yu heard The Story Of Diu Sim's name, he felt his courage and said "good", then he closed his eyes and waved.
Beijing Opera has Feng Yi Ting, which tells this story.
The Story Of Diu Sim, Xi Shi, Yang Guifei and Wang Zhaojun were the four beauties in ancient China.
It is said that The Story Of Diu Sim was born, and in three years, the local peaches and apricots bloomed and withered. At midnight in Yue Bai, The Story Of Diu Sim, Chang 'e felt ashamed in the moon and hurried into the clouds; The Story Of Diu Sim's figure is pretty, her ears are blue, her willows are swaying when she walks, and she is more elegant when she is quiet. The beauty of The Story Of Diu Sim is spectacular. It is precisely because of this beauty that Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, who are domineering over power, turned against each other and made the turbulent ruling and opposition parties feel a little peaceful. However, it is a pity that The Story Of Diu Sim appeared as a maid-in-waiting, and retired with the family members of the deceased. In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Luo Guanzhong only listed the death of Lu Bu's White Gate Tower, and ended it with a sentence "His wife and daughter were transported back to Xudu". Since then, The Story Of Diu Sim's life and death have become an eternal mystery. In 1971, some people saw the tomb of Diao Chan, but it was also said that her daughter's tomb was not credible.
The Story Of Diu Sim, one of the four beauties in ancient China, is not recorded in ancient books, but it is often described in literary works. In other aspects, The Story Of Diu Sim's surname is Du, who was originally the wife of Qin Yilu, the Ministry of Lu Bu. They also have a son named Qin Lang, whose character is Ming, which appeared in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
