Who are the four beauties in ancient China? What era are they in?
The four beauties in ancient China refer to Shi in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wang Zhaojun in the Western Han Dynasty, The Story Of Diu Sim in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and Yang Guifei in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. 1. The woman who sold firewood in Yue during the Spring and Autumn Period was very beautiful. When she was washing gauze by the river, the clear river shone on her beautiful figure, so that the fish in the water forgot to swim and slowly sank to the bottom, so the stone was nicknamed "sinking fish" She was chosen because Gou Jian, the king of Yue, used a "honey trap" against Fu Cha, the king of Wu, to avenge the national subjugation. Xi Stone-After helping Gou Jian destroy Wu, he lived in seclusion in the West Lake with Fan Li. 2. Wang Zhaojun, a poor woman in the late Western Han Dynasty, was born in today's Jiegui County, Hubei Province. It is said that on his way home, Wang Zhaojun saw geese flying far away, which aroused endless homesickness. A flock of flying geese heard the piano, saw her beautiful appearance, forgot to shake their wings and fell to the ground. Therefore, Wang Zhaojun got the reputation of "Wild Goose". She is a beautiful woman with both talents and looks. When Emperor Hanyuan ascended the throne, she was elected to the palace. She was left out because she couldn't see the emperor, and she was naturally unhappy. When he married the Huns, Wang Zhaojun weighed the weight after hearing the news and volunteered to marry the Huns, making an epic contribution to maintaining Sino-Hungarian friendship. Wang Zhaojun died of old age in the desert after marrying Khan's heir (Mongolian custom). Thirdly, The Story Of Diu Sim, a geisha in Wang Yunfu, a minister of Xian Di in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was favored by Wang Yun for her outstanding beauty and good singing and dancing. It is said that one night when The Story Of Diu Sim was in Yue Bai, a cloud covered the moon. Wang Yun proudly said, "The moon is not as beautiful as my daughter, so I am ashamed to hide behind the clouds." Therefore, The Story Of Diu Sim is called the beauty of "closed moon". At that time, Dong Zhuo was authoritarian and monopolized state affairs, and the Eastern Han Dynasty had existed in name only. In order to kill Dong Zhuo and alienate him from his adopted son Lu Bu, Sima set up a "serial plan": The Story Of Diu Sim, aged 16, was first betrothed to Lu Bu, and then The Story Of Diu Sim was given to Dong Zhuo, causing Dong Zhuo to take away Lu Bu's love. The Story Of Diu Sim also deliberately seduced Lu Bu in the back garden, which was seen by Dong Zhuo, causing Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu to declare war against each other. Finally, Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu and married The Story Of Diu Sim as his concubine. In fact, The Story Of Diu Sim loves neither Dong Zhuo nor Lu Bu. She is only used as bait, a plaything or a victim in the hands of powerful people. Fourth, Yang Guifei, originally the adopted daughter of a small official in Luoyang, was called Taizhen, with the small print Yuhuan. Now Shanxi is a water-saving place. Li Mao's concubine, the son of Li Longji of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, was favored by Li Longji for her beauty and became a concubine in Tianbao four years (745). Legend has it that one day she went to the garden to enjoy flowers to relieve boredom, and accidentally met a mimosa, which immediately rolled up its leaves. Tang Huang Ming praised her for being "ashamed of flowers". Later, Yang Guifei's cousin Yang took control of Chaogang, and the Manchu Dynasty held a grudge against her, which led to the outbreak of Anshi Rebellion. On the way to escape with Yang Guifei, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty mutinied, killed Yang and forced Yang Guifei to hang himself in the Buddhist temple. It's a pity that this "peerless beauty" favored by the emperor ended up sacrificing for the emperor's life.
