Poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty created poems about Zhaojun, which basically continued since the Six Dynasties The sad and sorrowful style, whether it is the green tomb that Chang Jian looked at in the distance under the clear sky, or the green tomb that Li Bai witnessed under the falling snowflakes, or the green tomb that emerged in Du Fu's mind at dusk, all of them are "left alone" with " "Resentment", because of the deep resentment, "there is often no vegetation", which makes people sigh. This symbolic meaning, which symbolizes Zhaojun's lonely and sorrowful soul, was inherited and expanded by later poets.

Green tomb refers to a grave covered with green grass. Wang Zhaojun was buried outside the Great Wall. The green grass on his tomb remains green all year round, and it is named "Green Tomb". People believe that this green tomb expresses Zhaojun's longing for his country and hometown and his regret for living outside the Great Wall after his death. Lu You of the Song Dynasty wrote in "Ancient Meanings": "Thousands of gold to recruit soldiers, thousands of miles to build the Great Wall. When the moon in the green tombs shines on the Han family camp"; Li Liuqian's "Ye Shou carved Qu Ping in stone": "But the general surrendered sadly, and he looked at his hometown from a high platform. To this day On the green tomb, the grass refuses to turn yellow."

China has been a multi-ethnic country since ancient times, and ethnic issues are complex. The reason why Wang Zhaojun can become an outstanding woman recognized and praised by multiple ethnic groups , because her marriage was very unique in the history of ancient Chinese ethnic relations: first, she was born as a commoner, not a princess or a royal daughter, and her palace status was just a humble woman waiting for an imperial edict, a commoner woman with extraordinary spirit of responsibility Marrying far away in the desert is even more respectable.
Zhaojun’s departure from the fortress was a rational move made by the rulers of the Han and Hungarian states after decades of brutal war. The long-term military conflict brought about the consequences of losing both sides and causing economic decline. Under the strong appeal of the Han and Hungarian people for peace, both sides worked hard to find a path to national reconciliation. It was against this historical background that Zhaojun went out to the fortress, which was in line with the wishes of the broad masses of the people. Benefit.
