Who criticized Zhaojun s exit

Historically, Zhaojun's exit from the fortress has always been considered a tragedy, but I disagree. However, he was soft-spoken and did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world. It wasn't until I saw that the historian Xiong Zhaozheng put forward a negative view in his book "The World of the Chinese Language" that I was not afraid to write about this dynamic by "shooting the first bird".

However, in view of the author's authority, the fool does not dare to discuss it, and can only add a few humble opinions.

The arguments listed in the book are: 1. Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was devoted to Fu and Feng Zhaoyi, and would not empathize with other lovers. After Zhaojun enters the palace, he will definitely be widowed and old.

2, after Zhaojun entered the fortress, he was favored by two Shan Yu and had children, and enjoyed the basic rights of women. 3. Now the Xiongnu live in Inner Mongolia, Hulunbuir, Hexi Corridor area has beautiful scenery. 4. During the period of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, the power of the Xiongnu weakened, and the living customs had been sinicized, and it was easy to get used to it.

For these reasons, Zhaojun's exit resembles a transnational marriage, and the literati exaggerate its tragic overtones.

To this, it is added as follows:

First, it cannot be asserted that Emperor Han Yuan was emotionally single-minded, because if he was single-minded, there would be no national draft, and there would be no portrait of Mao Yanshou because of the many show girls who had no time to interview. A digression here, the legendary Mao Yanshou deliberately smeared Zhaojun because he failed to ask for bribes, which is not in line with historical facts. According to Teacher Kang Zhen, in fact, Zhaojun is so beautiful that Mao Yanshou can't paint her beauty at all.

Therefore, before leaving, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty regretted it when he saw Zhaojun. In addition, it cannot be asserted that Zhaojun has no chance to face the monarch in this life. However, even if he has the opportunity to be favored, according to Zhaojun's character who is not afraid of power, it is estimated that he will become a victim early in the dangerous palace fight.

Second, under the influence of Confucianism, Zhaojun's service to Shan Yu and his son did not conform to the Han Dynasty's concept of marriage and was sad. But in the Xiongnu, this was a custom, in line with local ethics, and there was no criticism.

Three: Since ancient times, the area where the Xiongnu live is yellow sand, glaciers, snow-capped mountains, the natural environment is harsh, if the soil is fertile, the Xiongnu will not frequently invade the Central Plains. This can be seen from Tang poems and historical materials.

And the beautiful scenery said in the book is the result of years of development and governance by us and the people. So this argument is open to debate.

Fourth, the sinicization of the Xiongnu mentioned in the book can be understood, but the great significance of Zhaojun's exit from the fortress will not be repeated here.

In addition, there are many cases of princesses and relatives in ancient times, and the reason why they are considered tragedies is because of the long distance, inconvenient transportation, low ability to resist risks, and different living habits. And according to the Confucian family system, leaving home means deviating. Regarding the national concept of the Chinese, Mr. Feng Youlan proposed that "the Chinese clearly distinguish between 'Huaxia', 'Yidi' and 'beasts' culturally", and that the Chinese have always had to fight with the Xiongnu and other non-Chinese people, just as they had to fight with the beasts, they felt that the Xiongnu people were not worthy of sharing the world with China, just as the Americans felt that the Red Indians were not worthy of sharing the Americas with them. ”

The historical significance of Zhaojun's departure from the fortress is that she will bring peace, tranquility and prosperity to the Xiongnu.

Later, with the support of the Western Han Dynasty, Huhan Yeshan Yu controlled the entire territory of the Xiongnu.

Zhaojun's exit from the fortress is a story in Chinese history.

Later, there were also poems, pipa songs, plays, TV dramas and other works of art based on this story.

Wang Zhaojun is known as one of the four beauties of ancient China, and his people and deeds are well-known, women and children are well known, and have become a long-standing theme written by calligraphers, painters, poets and dramatists since ancient times.

However, the tone of the cultural theme about Wang Zhaojun and Zhaojun's exit from the fortress is not so much poignant as lamentation and sympathy.
