In the third year of Jian'an (198 AD), when Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce to attack Wancheng (today's Meicheng Town, Qianshan County, Anhui Province), he obtained two beautiful and fragrant "trophies" as a conqueror, one One is called Da Qiao and the other is called Xiao Qiao.
Da Qiao married Sun Ce, who had a talent for managing the world, and the two were a match made in heaven. Xiao Qiao married Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was a talented young man with both civil and military skills, heroic appearance, and suave style. The two of them together were the beautiful wife of a god, making others envious.
After marrying the two, Sun Ce joked with Zhou Yu: Duke Qiao's two daughters are indeed beautiful, but with us two as his sons-in-law, he has nothing to regret.
In that era, women were just accessories to men. It was already a great thing to leave a surname, a place of origin, and an affiliation in the history books.

Two years after the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu died of illness on the way to Yueyang at the age of 36. At this time, Xiao Qiao was only about twenty-six years old. For Xiao Qiao, losing a loved one is such a sad thing.
At that time, the war was raging and the whole country was in chaos. As a weak woman, Xiao Qiao could only imagine how big a blow Zhou Yu's death had to her. Later, Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao lived together in Jiangnan, two stunning beauties, both living lonely lives.
After Zhou Yu died of illness, Xiao Qiao has been depressed. Xiao Qiao finally died of illness at the age of 47. The previous tomb of Xiao Qiao was made of Han bricks. Later, someone repaired the tomb of Xiao Qiao and added new tombs and stone tablets.
At that time, Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu were a talented and beautiful couple that was envied by the world. Even after many years, the story of the two people is still circulating among the people.
