What did the Huns do to Wang Zhaojun after her death?

As we all know, the status of ancient women was relatively low, especially those who were beautiful, and their fate was very bitter. For example, the four beauties in China's history all ended badly. Since ancient times, women have been unlucky, and their lives have been vividly displayed. Wang Zhaojun, one of the four beauties, has an idiom called "sinking fish and falling geese" to describe her, which was later used to describe a more beautiful woman. Wang Zhaojun is a woman in the harem of the Han and Yuan emperors. Although she was beautiful, she didn't want to bribe the painter, who painted her ugly, so she didn't get the favor of the emperor and was unknown in the harem. It was not until she got married that Emperor Han Yuan saw her true colors. Naturally, this is very amazing. He wants to be included in the harem and doesn't want her to attend the wedding. However, as an emperor, he can't break his word, he can only bear the pain. Maybe she's married.

Wang Zhaojun was born in an ordinary civilian family. /kloc-when she was 0/7 years old, she was already very beautiful, just in time for the emperor's draft, so she was elected to the palace as a civilian woman and became a maid-in-waiting. Because the draft is a time-consuming thing, and the emperor has a lot of government affairs and is unwilling to waste time on the draft, he chooses the draft through beautiful paintings. Wang Zhaojun has no money and his attitude is firm. He didn't want to bribe the painter, and he was ugly by the painter, so he was not chosen and was unknown in the harem. She didn't want this kind of residual life, and she volunteered to marry the Huns. At that time, Xiongnu Khan proposed to marry the Central Plains. Emperor Han Yuan didn't want his daughter to marry Xiongnu, so she left home so far to suffer and endure the torture of thoughts, so she planned to find a beautiful maid-in-waiting and make her a princess.

Hearing about the election of maids, Wang Zhaojun volunteered to get married. Without thinking about it, Emperor Han Yuan named her a princess and asked her to marry the Huns. When everything was almost ready, he had no time to see her. When he saw her for what she really was, he found himself not only beautiful, but also handsome. At this time, Emperor Han Yuan regretted it very much, but as an emperor at that time, he had already said what he had said. And this is related to the diplomacy between the two countries. We can't cause war between the two countries because of our own preferences, so even if we don't want to, we will go on in the way we decided. So, on a crisp autumn day, Wang Zhaojun embarked on the road of intimacy. Walking on the road, listening to the horse's barking made her feel very uneasy, so she plucked the strings and played a farewell song. The geese flying in the sky heard this song, saw the beauty in the carriage, forgot to flap their wings and fell to the ground. Since then, "Wild Goose" has become synonymous with Wang Zhaojun.

After Wang Zhaojun married the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu died not long after, and she wanted to request to return to China. However, according to local customs, her father died and her son succeeded to the throne, and she wanted to marry the new Khan, that is, remarried to Uhaanyehe's eldest son, which made her hard to accept. Xin Chanyu also liked Wang Zhaojun very much, so he asked Han Chengdi to marry Wang Zhaojun. Emperor Hancheng also knew that this was not in line with the customs of the Han Dynasty, but thinking that it was related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, he refused Wang Zhaojun's request to return to China, hoping that she would do as the Romans do and marry a new Khan. Wang Zhaojun had no choice but to endure silently, but she was deeply influenced by Confucian culture since she was a child. Wang Zhaojun was ashamed of her second marriage. The man she married was the son of her first husband, which made her unhappy but helpless. She lived with Er Shan for 1 1 year and gave birth to two daughters.

After the death of the second Khan, Wang Zhaojun married a new Khan, equivalent to her grandchildren, because of local customs. Two husbands died one after another, and she got married again, married to her son and grandson, which made her feel very ashamed. In addition, Wang Zhaojun missed his hometown very much, so he soon ended up depressed. From a woman's point of view, Wang Zhaojun is a poor woman with a tragic ending. But from the whole history, Wang Zhaojun's marriage to Xiongnu promoted national unity, communicated national feelings and promoted the friendly development of all ethnic groups. Wang Zhaojun has made immortal contributions to the further development of China, a unified multi-ethnic country.

After Wang Zhaojun married the Huns, because he was beautiful, knowledgeable and resolute, he won the favor of the three Khan, which also made the Han Dynasty and the Huns have no war for more than 60 years. Because Wang Zhaojun is a weak woman, Xiongnu and Han Dynasty lived in peace for more than 60 years, and her contribution is no less than that of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. After Wang Zhaojun's death, Xiongnu Khan held a grand funeral for him, and even killed 654.38+ 10,000 sheep in memory of her. Huns are also very sad, and even use self-mutilation to express their grief. Some people cut a knife in the face, and some people put a knife in a certain part of their body, but many people always think that this is just hearsay. After all, no matter how sad you are, you can't hurt yourself. But in a mural in the Mogao Grottoes, it proves that the previous rumors are true and people can't bear to look straight. As can be seen from the painting, the people in the painting are luxuriantly dressed, and they should be Xiongnu nobles, holding knives and the like in their hands and cutting wounds on themselves. It can be seen that the death of Wang Zhaojun is a heartbreaking thing for the Huns.
