Speaking of the four beauties of China, we are no strangers. Today, let's tell the story of Wang Zhaojun. Wang Zhaojun, whose name is Zhao Jun, is one of the four beauties in China. Zhaojun's leaving the fortress is a well-known story. Zhaojun offered to marry him and later married Attila and his son.
In many poems about Zhaojun in China, Wang Zhaojun is called "Ming Fei". Is there any reason for this? Why do you call her that? It turns out that before Zhaojun left the fortress, the Han and Yuan emperors had to improve Zhaojun's status, and marriage naturally needed to be matched at least in terms of grade.
Wang Zhaojun was selected by the people. Zhaojun is not a branch of the royal family, so she can't be named Lord Weng and Princess. Therefore, she can only be named "Zhaojun" according to her beauty of "Bright Han Palace" and her political mission of illuminating the Huns on behalf of the Han Emperor. The title "Jun" can sometimes be given to women.
In the pre-Qin period, there were titles called "Jun", such as Meng Changjun and Chun Shenjun, and later women could be given titles as "Jun". In the Western Han Dynasty, it was customary to bestow the title of "monarch" on women. For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once bestowed the title of "Xiu Chengjun" on his eldest sister with a half-surname, which is a good example.
Shuo Wen says: "Zhao, the day is bright." The sun shines brightly. The "Zhao Jun" is also a symbol of the Han Emperor illuminating the Huns. This shows that this marriage is very important to the Han dynasty. Attila was very happy when he got Zhaojun, and he was named "Wang Zhaojun, Ninghu E Shi" according to the system.
At that time, "Zhaojun" and "Ninghu" were actually titles with rich political meanings. Zhaojun shouldered the mission of two countries, and his title was an agreement reached by the two kings, which expressed their feelings of being willing to live in peace at that time and was the corresponding political intention of both sides.
Since Zhaojun is one of the four beauties in China, it's probably that the King of Han will sigh when he sends her out! Wouldn't it be a pity to lose such a beauty? Later history proved to us that Zhaojun's leaving the fortress was a very wise decision at that time, and Zhaojun also successfully completed his task.
Wang Zhaojun has brought peace, tranquility and light to the Fanhan family for a long time. He made great contributions to the people at that time, and made them live a stable life. Later, in the Jin Dynasty, in order to avoid the taboo of Si Mazhao, the emperor of Jin Dynasty, he was renamed Mingjun, which was called "Mingfei" in history.
