Wang Zhaojun (about 52 BC-BC 19) was born in Zigui (now Xingshan County, Yichang City, Hubei Province). His name is Zhaojun (the word Zhaojun is not literal), and he is also known as one of the four beautiful women in ancient China with the stories of Dixin, Shi and Shi. The idiom "sinking fish and falling geese" and "the painter abandoned the market" recorded her life story.
Wang Zhaojun was a palace maid in the Han and Yuan Dynasties, and later married Uhaanyehe, a Hun. Wang Zhaojun maintained the stability of Sino-Hungarian relations for half a century, and the story of "Zhaojun leaving the fortress" spread through the ages.

Character allusions
1, Pingsha geese
The story of Wang Zhaojun and the stone, and the story of losing her heart and soul, also known as the four beauties in ancient China, has the appearance of "closing the moon to shame flowers, sinking fish and falling wild geese", in which "falling wild geese" refers to the story of Zhao Jun's departure from the fortress.
In the first year of Jingning (the first 33 years), Uhaanyehe, the leader of the southern Xiongnu, came to Chang 'an to make a pilgrimage to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and called himself the husband. The emperor of the Han Dynasty chose Wang Zhaojun, a maid-in-waiting. Zhaojun bid farewell to his native land and went north.
Along the way, the yellow sand rolled and geese sang in Ma Si, which made her uneasy, so she immediately played the pipa to complain. The beautiful and sweet piano sound and the beautiful and moving woman made the geese flying south forget to flap their wings and landed on the flat sand one after another, and the geese became the nickname of Wang Zhaojun.
2. The painter gives up the market
According to "Miscellanies of Xijing", Emperor Han and Yuan asked a painter to draw a picture for good luck because there were so many women in the harem. The court bribed the painter, but Wang Zhaojun refused, so her portrait was the worst and she could not see the Emperor of the Han and Yuan Dynasties.
Later, when the Huns came to ask for relatives, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chose Wang Zhaojun according to the elephant. Before he left, he found Zhao Jun elegant and generous, with the most beautiful appearance, and it was too late to regret it. He pursued it and killed many painters, such as Mao Yanshou and Chen Chang.
