Two Ten-year Poems by Wang Zhaojun

Wang Zhaojun is a famous beauty in the history of China. She was forced to marry Shan Yu, a Hun, and was regarded as a symbol of the marriage between the Chinese nation and the Huns. However, Wang Zhaojun's poems are not exactly recorded, because she is not a scholar and has not left her own works.

Nevertheless, in order to express the memory of Wang Zhaojun and sympathy for her fate, later scholars created many poems to describe her image and story. The following are two poems describing Wang Zhaojun's ten years, but please note that these poems were not written by Wang Zhaojun himself:

"Ten years of life and death are embarrassing, and I will forget it without thinking."

This is a poem written by Yang Shen, a writer in the Ming Dynasty, which describes Wang Zhaojun's ten years of hard life in a foreign country and expresses his yearning for his relatives in his hometown.

"Wan Li moved the river, crying and leaving."

This is a poem by Nalan Xingde, a writer in Qing Dynasty, which describes Wang Zhaojun's feelings of parting in a foreign land and expresses her deep yearning for her relatives in her hometown.

These poems have made Wang Zhaojun an important image in China literature and history by sympathizing with her fate and remembering her.
