Why did Wang Zhaojun go to the Great Wall to marry the northern desert?

Wang Zhaojun is one of the "four beauties" in history, and people also call her Mingjun or Fei Ming. There are always different opinions about why she left the Huns.

According to legend, Wang Zhaojun is the daughter of King Xiang of Qi. At the age of seventeen, she was elected to the palace by Emperor Hanyuan. Emperor Han Yuan chose palace slaves according to the painter's portrait. The ladies-in-waiting living in the harem always want to dress themselves up so as to be summoned by the emperor. Therefore, they do not hesitate to bribe the painter.

When Wang Zhaojun first entered the imperial court, he didn't understand these rules, so he didn't prepare this bribe. The second is to rely on their own beauty and worry that the emperor will not be summoned. It is said that the painter Mao Yanshou painted Wang Zhaojun's eyes and said, "This painter's vivid pen is the finishing touch. It is really a small gold! " Although Zhaojun got the news from Mao, she didn't buy his account. Instead, she satirized him and left. Mao Yanshou saw that she was so arrogant, so he took aim at Zhao's eyes and touched her face. It is this that makes Wang Zhaojun stay in the court for a long time.

At this time, it happened that the Huns called Xie Hanshan to North Korea and wanted to marry a Han woman. Yuan Di struggled to resist the invasion of Xiongnu. When he saw Uhaanyehe come to North Korea to propose marriage, he thought it was a good opportunity to develop politics and pro-diplomacy, so he gave him five maids. Wang Zhaojun has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and there is no hope of meeting the holy family. When he heard that the Huns had come to ask for marriage, he volunteered to leave the Han Palace for the Huns. Emperor Han Yuan only knew that she lacked beauty, so he agreed to her request.

On the day of Uhaanyehe's parting, Emperor Han Yuan was surprised to see Wang Zhaojun's resplendent ornaments, the bright Han Palace and Gu Ying wandering around. He wanted to keep her, but he was afraid of breaking his word, so he had to give up what he wanted and let Wang Zhaojun go out and kiss him. According to legend, Emperor Han Yuan was very angry with the painter Mao Yanshou. He said that he had killed Mao Yanshou and other painters.

Judging from the above biography, why did Wang Zhaojun go to the cottage should be explained as follows: Wang Zhaojun was too proud to buy off the painter Mao Yanshou, and as a result, he was vilified. As a result, the beautiful Zhaojun couldn't get the favor of the emperor, and Kurumiya was really bored, so he invited the Xiongnu, with the consent of Emperor Han Yuan, to go to the fortress to kiss.

Historically, some people thought that Zhaojun's leaving the fortress was Mao Yanshou's national salvation plan. According to legend, when Mao Yanshou saw Zhao Jun's extraordinary beauty, he was afraid that the Han Emperor who fell in love with women could not extricate himself, and deliberately vilified her when he painted Wang Zhaojun. Emperor Han Yuan didn't notice, and later told Xie Han to enter the court and marry a Han woman. Emperor Hanyuan originally wanted to make a fool of himself, but he sent Wang Zhaojun out by mistake. If Zhaojun is not sent away, he will be loved one day and become a disciplined figure. At that time, the country will be harmed and the future troubles will be endless. Therefore, Mao Yanshou became "only a loyal minister like Mao Yanshou, who can send a famous princess out of the palace".

According to official records, Wang Zhaojun went to the Great Wall to kiss, which played a very good role in the peace of the Han frontier. During the rule of Hu and his son, Sino-Hungarian relations were harmonious, which shows that political marriage still has positive significance. However, some people think that the counselors in the Han Dynasty are like clouds and the warriors are like rain. Making peace with women is really harmful to the country and the people.

Although there are different opinions about why Wang Zhaojun went to Fort, her story as one of the "four beauties" in ancient times has been passed down to this day, and no one will have different opinions. Du Fu's poem says: "Wan He is close to Jingmen, and the girls are in the village. She came out of the purple palace and entered the desert. Now she has become a green grave in the yellow dusk. " This is a high summary of Wang Zhaojun's life.
