Typical ugly and smart women are the "four ugly women" in ancient China. Of course, there were many ugly women with virtue, goodness and beauty in ancient times, but the following four are the most famous. I hope I can help you with their information in my answer. First: Mo Mu, second: Zhong Lichun, third: Meng Guang, fourth: Xu Yun's wife or Ruan's daughter 1, the wife of Huangdi, the ancestor of China, was the most famous ugly woman in ancient times. When Mo Mu was first promoted, she was as ugly as a witch. Wang Ziyuan's "Four Gentlemen on Morality" said: "Mo Mu is a puppet with a good reputation, and he can't hide his ugliness. Qu Yuan's Nine Chapters "Cherish the Past": "I am jealous of the fragrant smelt, and Mo Mu is beautiful and complacent. "But she is very virtuous, and the Yellow Emperor married her. Mo Mu really failed to live up to the love of the Yellow Emperor and gave moral education to women. According to legend, the first mirror used by human beings was discovered and made by Mo Mu. On one occasion, Tong Yu's family asked Mo Mu to go up the mountain with her to dig flagstones. Without further ado, Mo Mu went up the mountain with Tongyu's family. Mo Mu has great strength and can dig slate faster than other women. I dug more than 20 pieces in less than half a day. At this time, the sun is already noon, and the sun shines on the earth. Mo Mu suddenly found a shiny stone in the pile, and the sunshine was very dazzling. Mo Mu bent down and gently dug it out of the ground with his hand. He was startled when he held it in his hand. What kind of monster is this? His ugly face is on this stone. Even she feels strange! She quietly hid the stone in her body and went back to the palace of the Yellow Emperor without telling anyone. When no one was around, she took out the stone again and found that the plane of the stone was uneven. The face reflected on it is strange. Mo Mu came to the factory building where stone knives and axes were made, found a millstone, pressed the stone on it and rubbed it repeatedly. It didn't take long, and all the surfaces of the stone chips were smoothed. In this way, the first mirror used by human beings was produced. Although Mo Mu was ugly, the Yellow Emperor trusted her and entrusted her to manage the harem. When the Yellow Emperor traveled around the world, Lei Zu, the princess of the Yellow Emperor, died of illness. The Yellow Emperor ordered Mo Mu to direct the sacrifice and manage the coffin. Mo Mu not only has extraordinary organizational ability, but also the Yellow Emperor awarded her the position of "Fang Shixiang" and used her appearance to exorcise evil spirits. The Yellow Emperor is the ancestor of the Chinese nation. According to legend, with the help of Mo Mu, the Yellow Emperor defeated Yandi and killed Chiyou. 2. Zhong Lichun-Empress Qi Xuanwang During the Warring States Period, people often used "seemingly no salt" to describe an ugly girl, referring to Zhong Lichun, an ugly girl in the salt-free county of Qi State during the Warring States Period (now the eastern part of Dongping County, Shandong Province). The book says that she is unmarried in her forties, extremely ugly, with a sunken head and deep eyes, a big belly, a stiff nose and throat, a fat top and little hair, and a painted skin. Forehead protruding, eye socket sunken, nostril upturned, big head, less hair, bigger throat and Adam's apple than men, dark red skin, very old and unmarried. Qi Xuanwang, who was in power at that time, was corrupt in politics, giddy in state affairs and violent in character, and liked to be blown away by people, which made the whole country panic. Although Zhong Lichun is ugly, she has read many poems and has great ambitions. In order to save the country, she came to Linzi, the capital, and met Qi Xuanwang at the risk of being beheaded. I saw the ugly girl raise her eyes, open her mouth and wave, and then pointed to her knees and shouted, "Danger! Dangerous? Qi Xuanwang was confused by her and asked the ugly girl to explain. The ugly girl came forward to salute and said, "I'm here to look up and observe the changes in the situation for your majesty;" "Opening is to punish Wang Er who doesn't listen to advice; Waving is to drive away flatterers for the king; The leg slapping is to dismantle the snow palace dedicated to amusement. " Shu Ren has no talent, but I've also heard that' a monarch has a minister but does not destroy the country, and a father has a son but does not destroy the home'. Now the king indulges in debauchery and refuses to accept advice, which means that I open my mouth to accept advice for the king; The enemy is about to be surrounded by soldiers, and you are surrounded by a group of boasters and flatterers. It was the country's fault, so I waved them away. The king spent a lot of money, material resources and manpower to build such a luxurious palace, but it left the treasury empty and the people living in poverty. How will he face the pool in the future? I just patted my thigh and asked the king to dismantle this dilapidated snow palace. To tell the truth, the king did make these four big mistakes. When the country was in danger, I risked being beheaded to advise your majesty. If you can take my advice, my daughter will have no regrets even if she dies! This shocking analysis of the ugly girl made Qi Xuanwang wake up from his dream and was deeply moved. She said, "If you don't come and remind me in time, I won't know my fault! "Think of Zhong Lichun as a mirror of yourself. In order to show his remorse, he made Zhong Lichun his queen. Yuan people also compiled her deeds into zaju, praising her spirit of taking the world as her responsibility. 3. Meng Guang, the wife of Hong Liang, a celebrity in the Eastern Han Dynasty. People often use Qi Mei to praise the equality, harmony and love between husband and wife. This idiom tells the story of Meng Guang, the wife of a wise man in the Eastern Han Dynasty. From "Liang Hongchuan in the Later Han Dynasty": "As a tenant, every time I come home, my wife has food to eat, and I dare not look up in front of Hong. This also leads to another idiom, that is, "treat each other with courtesy." "According to legend, Meng Guang is the assistant of Hong Liang and Wu Di. When Hongliang came home, Meng Guang took Qi Mei as an example to show his respect for her husband. However, this virtuous woman's appearance is "extremely rough", "fat, ugly and black", and she can "lift a stone mortar". When Meng Guang was unmarried, someone gave her a matchmaker, but she refused to marry, saying that she would "marry Hongliang". Hongliang was a famous man at that time. He was a handsome man. Many local dignitaries and aristocratic families want to marry his daughter. So people listened to Meng Guang's words and laughed at her for being unrealistic. They wanted to eat swan meat and made fun of her high vision. But Hongliang took a fancy to Meng Guang's character and decided to marry Meng Guang. The day after the couple got married, Meng Guang took off the bride's dress and put on coarse clothes to do housework. Although Hongliang is very learned, he is unwilling to be an official. He once wrote a song "Five Songs", which was hunted down by the authorities. After the Hongliang couple fled to Wudi (now Suzhou), they worked as employees under wealthy businessmen. During the day, Hongliang was alone. At night, when he dragged his tired body home, Meng Guang had prepared delicious meals for him. She respected her husband very much and didn't dare to look directly at him. She bent down and raised the tray with food to her forehead for him to eat. Once the host saw it and exclaimed, "People who can make their wives respect themselves like this must be extraordinary!" "So he changed Hongliang and his wife to live in a big house. Since then, Liang devoted himself to studying and wrote more than ten books behind closed doors. The couple live a poor and harmonious life. Scholars in later generations often quoted "Is it lack of time for a loud and wandering sea song" to express their lifelong complaints. Left an eternal story about Mei Qi. Zhang Mi, a man from the Qing Dynasty, praised: "Washing utensils is more reasonable and more ambitious." 4. Ruan-the wife of Xu Yun, a famous person in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the daughter of Ruan Dewei, who was married by Xu Yun in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the candlelight night, she found Ruan's daughter ugly and rushed out of the new house and refused to enter again. Later, Huan Fan, a friend of Xu Yunfeng's, came to see him and said to Xu Yunfeng, "Since the Ruan family married an ugly woman to you, there must be a reason. You must check her. " After listening to Fan's words, Xu really stepped into a new home. But when he saw his wife and started to slip away, the bride caught him. While struggling, Xu Yun said to the bride: "Women have' four virtues' (four virtues required by feudal ethics, such as female virtue, female speech, female appearance and female merit). How many have you met? " The bride said, "All I lack is beauty. How many times have you met a scholar? " Xu Yun said, "I have everything." The bride said, "Virtue comes first. How can you say that you have everything? " Xu Yun was speechless. From then on, the husband and wife respected and loved each other, and their feelings were harmonious.
