Since ancient times, the more beautiful women have a thin life, the more likely to attract strife. China's four great beauties left behind the beautiful legend of "sinking fish, falling geese, closed moon, shy flower". But does not seem to leave much of a good ending. Here, we have to sigh a red face more thin life.
First, the sinking fish Xishi
Fish in the water to forget to swim, but met the shore of the raccoon girl. The water has no shadow under the curtain, suspected to be a fairy has not returned to the court {I made). Xi Shi, who washes clothes on the bank of the river, causes the fish to forget to swim and sink under the water. Hence the story of Xishi's sinking fish.
Beautiful legend came to the Yue Wang Goujian, Yue Wang ate the bitter, have the heart of the mind, more powerful will. Ruthless beauty sent to the old rival Yue Wang Fu Chai, hoping that a beauty plan, in exchange for the return of the river and the mountain. The plan was a good one, but the person was a beauty. When the smoke cleared, Xi Shi accomplished Fu Chai's ambition with her beauty plan, but what was her end?
There are many versions of the story circulating in the jianghu, which are nothing more than, killing herself, being sunk in the river, being in love with Fan Li, and going away to other places. The point here is that there is no proof of history, but running away with Fan Li is the most unbelievable. Why? A small misunderstanding caused by status difference. The love between the scholar class and the folk girl is just a bridge in the novel. The legend here is just a kind of people's yearning for something beautiful.
So the beauty Xishi, who was a tool in life and was sunk in the river in death, has no Xinfu to speak of.
Second, the falling geese Wang Zhaojun
A song of sadness thinking of parting, the geese heard the sound of the head down. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea for me. When Zhaojun went out of the city, because of such a matter, so there is Wang Zhaojun's falling geese said.
The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of every man, not only the man has the responsibility, but also the courtesan can come forward. For the sake of the country's peace and well-being, Zhaojun took a pipa out of the plug, a song of sadness away from the falling geese, in exchange for the Han family's peace and tranquility {I made).
Zhaojun served two generations of Xiong Nu monarchs in her life, and when the first monarch died, she wished to return to the Han Dynasty, but Emperor Chengdi did not allow her to do so. Afterwards, she lived with her son for twenty years and had two daughters. Two years after his death, Zhaojun died of a disease.
Zhaojun lived her life for her country and married a Xiongnu. Having asked to return to Han, it is evident that her life was not a happy one.
Third, the closed-moon Diaochan
Shu has a pearl in his palm, and worships the moon to welcome people in the sky. The moon is not a place for people to see, but a place for people to get drunk on the ground. The moon was not a place where Diaochan would worship the moon, which is why it was said that Diaochan would worship the moon.
The three kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, before the three kingdoms there was Dong Zhuo. The first time I saw this was when I was a young man, and I was so drunk that I was able to change my mind about the three kingdoms. Another beauty plan, in exchange for the demise of Dong Zhuo, also in exchange for the love story of Diaochan and Lu Bu.
The story has an ending, but not an ending. After Lu Bu's death, Diao Chan's ending was either good or bad. We don't know the ending, but we do believe that Diaochan had a past of hard luck.
Fourth, shy flower Yang Yuhuan
Year after year when the flowers bloomed, peony proudly among the flowers. The beauty who misses her hometown points to the flowers, but makes all the flowers bow their heads in shame {made by myself). Yang Yuhuan, who missed her hometown, made all the flowers bow her head, thus the saying that she was shy of flowers.
Yang Yuhuan is unfortunate, but also blessed. She failed to change her fate at Mawei Slope, but met an emperor who was obedient to her. One ride on the red dust consort laughs, no one knows it is lychee. is the best depiction of the Tang Ming Emperor's favor to her. She didn't get a good end, but met someone who favored her.
End of Dashan
The four great beauties, whose endings were not good. But it has to be said that Yang Yuhuan is the one who is truly happy. Although she was snatched from her son by Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji, what else can she say in the face of an emperor who is devoted to her. I wonder what you think.
