Da Qiao is one of the most famous beauties in the Three Kingdoms period, she and her sister Xiao Qiao are known as "Jiangdong Er Qiao", both of whom are the daughters of Sun Wu's famous families. Da Qiao married Sun Ce, and Xiao Qiao married Zhou Yu, both husband and wife are a match made in heaven, and they envy others.
However, Da Qiao's happiness did not last long, and Sun Ce was assassinated in the fifth year of Jian'an (200) and unfortunately died at the age of 26. As a result, Big Joe became a young widow, and what was the rest of her life like?
Some people say that after Sun Ce's death, Da Qiao married Sun Quan and became Sun Quan's wife. This statement is based on a description in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", after Sun Ce's death, in order to appease the people of Jiangdong, Sun Quan married Da Qiao as his wife, in order to inherit Sun Ce's legacy. However, this is only Luo Guanzhong's fiction and does not correspond to historical facts.
According to historical records, after Sun Ce's death, Da Qiao did not remarry others. Instead, she chose to be widowed and accompanied Sun Ce's widow Xiao Qiao until her death. So, from a historical point of view, Big Joe didn't marry anyone.
So, why didn't Da Joe remarry?Here are a few possible reasons:
First, Da Qiao has deep feelings for Sun Ce and is unwilling to remarry. Although Da Qiao and Sun Ce are prisoners of war, the time between the two is not short, and Sun Ce also loves Da Qiao very much and gives her a high status. Da Qiao may be really in love with Sun Ce, so after Sun Ce's death, she didn't want to find a new love, but loyally guarded Sun Ce's spiritual position.
Second, Da Qiao was influenced by Xiao Qiao and was reluctant to remarry. Xiao Qiao is Da Qiao's sister and Zhou Yu's wife. Zhou Yu died of illness in the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208) at the age of 36. Xiao Qiao is also a beautiful woman, but she did not remarry, but lived with Da Qiao in Shouchun and comforted each other. Da Qiao may have been influenced by Xiao Qiao, and she also felt that remarrying was unfaithful to Sun Ce, so she also insisted on the decision to be widowed.
Third, Da Qiao was controlled by Sun Quan and did not dare to remarry. Sun Quan is Sun Ce's younger brother and the heir of Jiangdong. Sun Quan was still relatively good to Sun Ce's family and gave them a certain amount of respect and protection. However, Sun Quan also did not want Da Qiao to remarry, because this would affect Sun Ce's prestige and cause dissatisfaction among the people of Jiangdong. Sun Quan may have been motivated by political considerations and did not let Da Qiao remarry, but let her stay in Shouchun as a memorial to Sun Ce.
To sum up, after Sun Ce's death, Da Qiao did not remarry anyone, but chose to be widowed, which may be out of her own feelings, or she may have been influenced by Xiao Qiao, or controlled by Sun Quan. In any case, Da Qiao's life was miserable, she did not enjoy the happiness she deserved, and could only spend the rest of her life in loneliness. Her story has also become one of the most poignant love legends in the Three Kingdoms period.
