Another view is that history does exist. Some scholars have pointed out that "Mencius", "Huai Nan Zi", "Yue Jue Shu" and "Wu Yue Chun Qiu" all mentioned Shi, saying that she was a paid girl (or yarn washer) at the foot of Zhuluo Mountain and was born with beauty. After Gou Jian chose her to enter the palace, he studied dance etiquette and music, accepted the honey trap and defected to the state of Wu. Her heart was attached to the State of Wu, and she finally completed her plan, which made the State of Wu perish and prosper. It can be seen that there should be such people in history.
Then, if there is a history in history, she did help Yue destroy Wu, but her whereabouts after the destruction of Wu is still a mystery that future generations pay attention to.
One view is that the teacher lived in seclusion after the death of Wu. Yuan Kang's Yuejueshu in the Eastern Han Dynasty recorded that after Wu's death, he "returned to his teacher and swam with him in the five lakes." In the Ming Dynasty, Hu Yinglin's "Shao Shi Shan Fang Bi Ji" also had a similar statement that Ishihara was a lover or wife. After Wu died, he lived in seclusion with his teacher. Li Bai wrote in the poem Xi Poetry: "Once the tea is broken, it will never come back." Others think that teachers follow seclusion. But, Mandarin? 6? 1 Yu Yuehe Historical Records? 6? The 1 family of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, only recorded his retirement, but said nothing about his family, which made people wonder whether his family really lived in seclusion.
One view is that after the death of Wu, the King of Yue threw himself into the river. Mozi? 6? 1 Pro-scholars said: "It is a better reason than doing, and it is resistant; Meng Ben's killing was brave; Beauty of beauty lies in beauty of beauty. Wu Qi's split is also a matter. " Because of her beauty, Xi Shi threw himself into the river. "Wu yue spring and autumn? 6? "1 piece" also said: "The more you float in the west, the more you apply to the river and die with the barbarians." In other words, after the State of Yue defeated the State of Wu, the King of Yue put the stone in a leather bag and sank to the bottom of the river.
There is also a saying that after the destruction of Wu, Shi accidentally fell into the water and died. Perhaps kind people don't want the stone to be drowned in the river by the King of Yue, so people follow the poem "Huansha" written by Song, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty: "When you go back to the old department, you can find beauty; According to "birds are surprisingly relaxed, fish are heavy and afraid of lotus flowers", it is believed that Shi returned to his hometown after Wu's death and accidentally fell into the water while washing gauze. But this statement seems to be more out of people's good wishes, but lacks sufficient evidence.
As one of the four beauties in China, Shi has played an important role in wuyue's hegemony. There are many stories about her, including many mysteries. Which statement is more in line with historical facts needs further study by historians.
