First of all, Zhejiang beauty Shi, whose real name is Shi Yiguang, was born in a small mountain village in Yueguo at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. There is a river in the village that divides the village into two parts. Shi Yiguang lives on the west bank of the river, so people call her Shi.
Shi is considered to be the first beauty in ancient times. The book says that she is "like a fairy, if you add half a point, you will be fat, and if you halve it, you will be thin". That is to say, the beauty of the stone, like a fairy in the sky, is just in shape, with more points being too fat and less points being too thin.
Born in troubled times, ordinary people still can't control their own destiny, let alone a beautiful stone.
In 494 BC, Gou Jian, the King of Yue who was defeated by Fu Cha, wanted to restore the country. Wen Zi, the counselor, asked him to "break the four wonders of Wu":
Donate money to please his ministers; Second, the accumulation is expensive; Third, leaving beautiful women to confuse the mind; Fourth, the wonderful legacy and excellent materials are used as palaces to exhaust their wealth; Fifth, the legacy of courtiers, in order to chaos its plan; Sixth, strongly advise the minister to commit suicide and weakly help the minister; Seventh, accumulate wealth, train the army and bear its disadvantages. -History of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty
The key to breaking Wu's Four Musts is to bequeath a beautiful woman to confuse her heart, because Fu Cha is the head of a country and determines Wu's fate. But there is no shortage of women in Fuzha tea, so it is not easy to find a beautiful woman who can confuse her mind.
Gou Jian sent hundreds of physiognomists out to find beautiful women, and finally found more than 20 beautiful women. The painter painted more than 20 people's faces on paper and showed them to Gou Jian, who chose two of the most beautiful people, one is stone and the other is stone.
Gou Jian ordered Fan Li to hire two people with a lot of money, dress them in gorgeous clothes and transport them to the capital in a luxurious carriage. When people heard and came to the capital, they were so eager to see their beauty and traffic jams. Gou Jian personally sent them to Tucheng, where experienced musicians taught them how to dance and walk, and then presented them to Fu Cha, the king of Wu.
When Fu visited Shihe, they thought they were fairies and looked at them every time. They don't know that the saliva is running down. Although both of them are stunning, Fu Cha prefers stone, and specially built a Gusutai for her, intending to make her the queen. Be unhappy because of jealous love for history.
Since ancient times, heroes have been sad about beauty. Fu Cha, the king of Wu, has been absent from the early court meeting since he met Shi, and turned a deaf ear to the words of the remonstrator. When Gou Jian heard about it, he found an opportunity to destroy Wu.
With Wu's death, the stone is nowhere to be found. At present, there are two credible statements: one is to talk with Fan Li at large; First, Shen Jiang said.
The first is to talk to Fan Li about Xiaoyao. Yue Jue Shu records: "Stone returned after Wu's death and went with the five lakes." Yue Jue Shu was written by people in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which mainly recorded the historical facts of wuyue's hegemony, so this statement has certain credibility.
Secondly, Shen Jiang said. "Mozi" said: "The harder work, the more resistance; Meng Ben's killing was brave; Beauty of beauty lies in beauty of beauty. Wu Qi's split is also a matter. " Bi Gan, Meng Ben, Shi and Wu Qi all died because of their own specialties, while Shi died by throwing himself into the river.
Besides, Wang Zhaojun, a beautiful woman from Hubei, was born in an ordinary family in 54 BC. Wang Laohan, an old woman, naturally dotes on Wang Zhaojun. Xiao Wang Zhaojun is not only good-looking, but also smart. He can learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting quickly.
In 38 BC, Emperor Hanyuan recruited beautiful women all over the country, and Nanjun recommended Wang Zhaojun. "The beauty of moth eyebrows is hard to find, which can make the flowers in the forest ashamed." Although the Emperor of the Han and Yuan Dynasties had 3,000 concubines, Wang Zhaojun's beauty was so hard to find that even the flowers were ashamed to keep blooming.
"Self-confidence pollutes white jade for no reason, and people refuse to use gold." There are 3000 beautiful women. The emperors of the Han Dynasty could not all be lucky, so he arranged for the painter Mao Yanshou to draw the faces of his concubines on paper for his reference. Mao Yanshou used this power to collect money in the harem. Whoever gives more money will draw a beautiful three points, and whoever gives less money will draw an ugly three points.
Although Wang Zhaojun was not a human being, he read a lot of sage books and refused to pay bribes to Mao Yanshou, so Mao Yanshou painted her ugly. Therefore, Wang Zhaojun, who is both talented and handsome, finally became a maid of honor.
In 33 BC, the Xiongnu leader called Xie Han to make a pilgrimage to Chang 'an. Hu worships Chinese culture very much and wants to find a princess to popularize Chinese knowledge for himself. Emperor Han Yuan did not want to marry his daughter to Xiongnu, so he found a maid-in-waiting instead. It is a coincidence to choose Wang Zhaojun.
Before he left, Emperor Han Yuan saw the true face of Wang Zhaojun. "The drooping shadow has no color, and the king can't control himself." The thought of going to the vast desert makes Wang Zhaojun sad. Seeing Wang Zhaojun's beautiful and sad face, Emperor Han Yuan's intestines were remorseful, and when he came back, he put Mao Yanshou to death.
In 3 1 year BC, Uhaanyehe died, and Wang Zhaojun went to the imperial court to return to Chang 'an. Emperor Han Chengdi asked her to marry Uhaanyehe's eldest son.
In BC 19, Wang Zhaojun died in the vast desert.
Then there is the story of a beautiful woman in Shanxi, Diesim. Strictly speaking, diusim's life story is not clear. Some people say that she is from Lintao County, Gansu Province, while others say that she is from Xinzhou, Shanxi Province.
Diusim's story is from Lintao, Gansu, which is based on the Pinghua dialect of the Three Kingdoms. In the book, Diusim's story claims to be a native of Lintao, Kansai. However, The Story of Three Kingdoms is not a history book, so it is doubtful.
The story of Diusim is from Xinzhou, Shanxi Province, which comes from the Yuan Song "Jinyuntang", and the story of Diusim claims to be from Muer Village, Xinzhou.
So how is the story of diusim described in the official history? "Were" has such a record:
Zhuo often puts the cloth in the middle of the door. The cloth is having an affair with Zhuo's maid-in-waiting, fearing that things will be discovered, and his heart is uneasy.
This maid-in-waiting should be the prototype of diusim's story. Since then, through the interpretation of scripts and zaju, the image of Diusim's story has gradually enriched.
So how beautiful is this maid? According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the story of Diusim was originally a singer of Wang Yunfu's family. One day in Yue Bai, a dark cloud floated by and the bright moon was covered. In order to promote the story of Diusim's appearance, Wang Yun told everyone that the story of Diusim was so beautiful that even the moon felt ashamed to see her and wanted to hide behind the dark clouds.
The fate of dixin and Shi is somewhat similar. Both of them were born in troubled times and became pawns in the political struggle.
Wang Yun wants to get rid of Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo's adopted son, Lu Bu, is the first valiant soldier in the Three Kingdoms and is not so easy to deal with. Wang Yun secretly betrothed the story of Dixin to Lu Bu and made a subtotal to let Dong Zhuo see the beauty of the story. Dong Zhuo was born a womanizer. Seeing that the story of Diesim was so beautiful, he took her back.
Wang Yun let the story of Diexin circulate between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. The story of diusim is just a young man who doesn't want to serve a bad old man. So on the surface, diusim's story takes care of Dong Zhuo and secretly mixes with Lu Bu.
Although Dong Zhuo has long recognized Lu Bu as his adopted son, after all, they are not related by blood, but only use each other. The relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu became more and more tense because of the story of Diexin. Finally, with the help of Wang Yun, Lu Bu got rid of Dong Zhuo.
There are several versions of Deusim's ending story, the first one is a tragic death, and the second one is a happy ending.
The first is the theory of tragic death. After Dong Zhuo's death, the story of Dixin followed Lu Bu, and soon Lu Bu was removed by Cao Cao and Liu Bei. The story of diusim came to Guan Yu again. Guan Yu is a straight man of steel. He thought diusim's story was a femme fatale, so he cut her with a knife. There is also a saying that the story of Diusim was dedicated to the Han Dynasty, and Dong Zhuo was removed at the cost of color, but he was worried that the world would misunderstand him, so he decided to die.
Second, the theory of a good death. Diusim saw through the world of mortals and became a nun. There is also a story that Guan Yu showed his enthusiasm for jade and sent Diusim back to Muer Village. Story Diusim fell in love with Guan Yu, a wise SHEN WOO, but she knew that she was no longer worthy of him, so she died with regret.
Finally, the origin of Shaanxi beauty Yang Yuhuan Yang Yuhuan is also controversial. There are two reasons why she is from Shaanxi: First, Yang Yuhuan's great-grandfather Wang Yang is from Huayin, Shaanxi, and he is from Hongnong Yang; Second, the ancients said: "Marry a chicken with a chicken, and marry a dog with a dog." Since Yang Yuhuan married Tang Xuanzong, he naturally became a native of Shaanxi.
The identity of this Yang Yuhuan is not simple, starting with his great-grandfather Wang Yang. Wang Yang was an official and minister of the Sui Dynasty. He was loyal to the liver, righteous and courageous, but unfortunately he was killed by Li Shimin.
Yang Yuhuan's father, Yang Xuanyan, used to be a manager in Zhou Shu, but later he was imprisoned for committing a crime and died in prison. Yang Yuhuan's uncle Yang Xuan joined the army and became an official in Henan. After Yang Xuanyan's death, Yang Yuhuan lived in his uncle's house.
It can be seen that Yang Yuhuan's great-grandfather and father both died in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, so Yang Yuhuan later avenged them.
Regarding the beauty of Yang Yuhuan, there are many descriptions in Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow, such as, "But with the grace of God, she was finally elected to the royal family one day without disguise. As long as she smiled back, there were hundreds of spells, and the sixth house was wiped out. This was early spring. They let her bathe in a pure pool to warm and smooth her creamy skin.
Yang Yuhuan's ending is also very sad. Although he was spoiled by 3,000 people, he unfortunately encountered an Anshi rebellion.
In 755 AD, the contradiction between An Lushan and Prime Minister Yang reached the irreconcilable level, so they launched an uprising in the name of.
In 756 AD, Tongguan was captured by rebels, and Chang 'an was in danger. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty can only take Yang Yuhuan and flee to Sichuan. When he arrived at Ant Post, the imperial army, instigated by the prince, defected and killed the Prime Minister Yang.
The Imperial Army also wanted to kill Yang Yuhuan. Tang Xuanzong believed that Yang was the one who was autocratic and wrong, and had nothing to do with it. However, the imperial guard thought that Yang Yuhuan was a femme fatale. If he didn't kill Yang Guifei, he wouldn't follow Emperor Xuanzong again. Under the persuasion of Gao Lishi, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had to give Yang Yuhuan a white silk, and finally Yang Yuhuan hanged himself under the pear tree in the Buddhist temple.
