What is the connection between Wang Zhaojun and Xiangxi?

Xiangxi is a tributary of the north bank of the Yangtze River, which joins the Yangtze River in Xiangxi Town at the west exit of Xiling Gorge. The "Feiming Village" in the upper reaches of Xiangxi and the northwest of Xingshan County is the hometown of Wang Zhaojun in Han Dynasty. Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a famous sentence, "Wan He is close to Jingmen, and Mrs. Guang was born and raised in Sri Lanka".

During the Han and Yuan Dynasties, Uhaanyehe, a Hun, entered Korea to seek marriage. Wang Zhaojun's voluntary marriage with Xiongnu played a certain role in establishing the close relationship between Han Dynasty and Xiongnu. The story of "Zhaojun leaving the fortress" has become a much-told story in the history of national unity and harmony between Han and Xiongnu.

The water in Xiangxi is evergreen all year round, green and transparent, as clear as the water of the Yangtze River. According to legend, before Zhao Jun left the village, he washed his face and dressed himself by the stream, and pearls fell into the stream. Since then, the stream has been fragrant and fragrant, hence the name Xiangxi. For more than 2000 years, this touching story has been passed down to this day. Zhaojun's image of beauty, kindness, wisdom and hard work will always live in the hearts of the people.
