1. Xi Shi In the war between Wu and Yue in 494 AD, Yue was defeated by Wu. King Gou Jian of Yue was forced to surrender and sue for peace, and brought his wife and generals to Wu as hostages for three years. After Gou Jian returned to his country, he swore to wash away this shame and humiliation, so he adopted the "beauty trap" proposed by Wen Zhong. After several searches, I finally found Xi Tzu, a salary-selling girl from Zhuluo Mountain. Xi Shi, whose surname is Shi and whose given name is Yi Guang, has the appearance of a "sinking fish". According to legend, when Xi Shi was spinning yarn by the stream, the fish in the water were attracted by her beauty and were so dazed that they forgot to swim and even sank to the bottom of the water. . Therefore, later generations used "sinking fish" to describe a woman's beauty. The sunken fish and the wild goose are shy of the moon, and the sunken fish comes first. Among the four beautiful beauties of the country, Xi Shi ranks first. Xishi inherited the business of Huansha when she was young, and was known as "Huansha Girl" in her old life. 2. Yang Yuhuan Yang Yuhuan (719-756), named Taizhen, was born in Yongle, Puzhou (now Yongji, Shanxi Province), and the daughter of Yang Xuanyan, the Sihu of Shuzhou. The Yang family has a gorgeous appearance, is good at singing and dancing, knows music well, and has the appearance of being "ashamed of flowers". Legend has it that when Yuhuan was admiring peonies in the imperial garden, the flowers turned pale, and she was ashamed that they were not as beautiful as Yuhuan, so she closed the petals. This is where the word "shame flower" comes from. 3. Wang Zhaojun Wang Zhaojun left Chang'an under the escort of Han Dynasty and Xiongnu officials. Legend has it that Zhaojun was full of sorrow when he left the fortress. To express his homesickness, he played the pipa on horseback. The song is so beautiful that even the geese flying south are fascinated by it, and even give up flying and land around Zhaojun. This is why "Luoyan" comes. 4. Diao Chan Diao Chan is one of the four beauties in ancient China. Although there is no record in ancient books, there are many descriptions in literary works. She was one of the important figures in the disputes between the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty. It is said that when Diao Chan worshiped the moon, the moon was also impressed by her stunning appearance. 5. Chen Yuanyuan Chen Yuanyuan's original surname was Xing, and her given name was Yuan. She is extremely beautiful, with bright flowers and snow, she is good at singing and dancing, and her beauty and art are among the best of her time. 6. Mrs. Huarui Mrs. Huarui describes the beauty of a woman's life. "Flowers are not enough to describe her color, but stamens are not enough to describe her appearance." Mrs. Huarui is Fei Guifei of Meng Chang, the empress of the Later Shu Dynasty. She was a noble concubine who was born as a geisha. After the fall of the former Shu, Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty appointed Meng Zhixiang as the governor of the two rivers. After Meng Zhixiang arrived in Shu, there was civil strife in the Later Tang Dynasty and Zhuangzong was killed. Meng Zhixiang's ambitions expanded and he trained armored soldiers. After the death of Emperor Mingzong of the Tang Dynasty, Meng Zhixiang assumed the title of Emperor, but died within a few months, and Meng Chang succeeded to the throne. The situation created by Meng Zhixiang's deliberate efforts and hard work day and night was passed to Meng Chang's hands. For ten years, there was no fire, no war, everyone had a good harvest, three coins per bucket of rice, all the ladies were in the family, no rice was picked, and the people picked orchids as gifts. Fen, shopping and having fun, the palace was full of singing and singing every day, wine every night, singing and dancing girls in the workshop, and courtesans and guests, decorating a scene of peace and happiness. 7. Empress Xiao Empress Xiao was the daughter of Emperor Liang Ming of the Southern Dynasty. She was born in Jiangling, the capital of the Later Liang Dynasty, on February 19, the 20th year of Tianbao. This girl is naturally beautiful and charming. As for how beautiful she is, it cannot be described in words. From her life experience, we may be able to roughly appreciate her charming charm. Empress Xiao was born a beauty in the world. When she was born, Yuan Tiangang, a famous divination expert at that time, was amazed by her appearance. He carefully calculated her birth date and finally came to the eight-character conclusion - "Mother's love for the world" , destiny brings peach blossoms." 8. Zhuo Wenjun The story of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun is well known to every household. Sima Xiangru was a famous poet and musician in the Western Han Dynasty. In his early years, his family was poor and he had no aspirations. After his parents died, he stayed with his good friend Wang Ji, the magistrate of the county. Zhuo Wenjun's father, Zhuo Wangsun, is a local rich man. Zhuo Wenjun was only seventeen years old at the time. The book describes Wenjun's beauty: "her eyebrows are as beautiful as mountains in the distance, her face is often like hibiscus, and her skin is as smooth as fat." She is also good at playing the piano and has extraordinary literary talent. He was originally betrothed to a certain emperor's grandson, but unexpectedly, the emperor's grandson was short-lived and died in a hurry before getting married, so Wenjun was considered a widow at home at that time. 9. Zhao Feiyan Zhao Feiyan, formerly known as Yisheng, was a famous dancer in the Han Dynasty. Because her dance was as light as a swallow flying and a phoenix dancing, people called it "Feiyan". Zhao Feiyan's family was very difficult when she was a child. She was abandoned by her parents after she was born. She was still alive three days later. Her parents felt strange and began to nurse her. When she was a little older, her parents died one after another, so she and her sister lived in Chang'an and became official maids. Later, they were sent to Princess Yang'a's mansion and began to learn singing and dancing. She was extremely talented, learned good piano skills, and had outstanding dancing skills. She was instantly famous in Chang'an. 10. Xiang Fei During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there were rumors in the capital that there was a strange woman at the foot of the distant Tianshan Mountains. Not only was she beautiful in appearance, but her body exuded an alluring fragrance, like a musk deer or an orchid, which attracted people who were close to her. People are addicted and can't let go. It is said that this news was brought back by the imperial envoy who was on an envoy to southern Xinjiang. It is absolutely true after seeing it with my own eyes.
