She is the world-famous Xi Shi, known as the first of the four beauties of ancient China! From an innocent Huansha girl, for the glorious mission of the country, she has resolutely transformed into a "disaster for the country". With her unique and graceful dancing, she conquered the hearts of all people. However, underneath her perfect appearance, she has a flaw that cannot be concealed - her feet are much larger than ordinary people, and in order to avoid this flaw, she deliberately wears characteristic clogs, silver hanging from her waist, and a light and flowing tulle dress. It is this unique dress that makes her dance light and swaying! Her beauty is as legendary as the legendary sunken fish and geese closing the moon and shy flowers.
Xi Shi, formerly known as Shi Honglian, was born in the late Spring and Autumn Period in Zhuji District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, the capital of Yueguo, and lived in Ramie Village at the foot of Xishi Ridge. This place is bordered by Huansha Creek in the east and Ramie Mountain in the west, and legend has it that she always and her mother are in the west of the Huansha Pond next to Huansha, so she named Xi Shi. Xi Shi is talented and intelligent, and he is beautiful and beautiful. It is said that by the Huansha Creek, her figure intoxicated the fish, and they jumped out of the water to admire her beauty, and never floated up after falling into the water, so later generations used the allusion of sinking fish to describe the beauty of Xi Shi. She looks weak and slender, sometimes clutching her chest, frowning and contemplative, and this soft movement makes the poor girl in the neighborhood imitate and learn, but unexpectedly arouses disgust, which is the famous story of "Dong Shi Xiaofeng" in history. It is this story that gives the world a deeper understanding of Xi Shi's unparalleled beauty.
In 494 BC, Goujian, the king of Yue, suffered a crushing defeat in the war with the king of Wu and had to surrender to the state of Wu, and as a prisoner of war, Xi Shi, the head of the world-famous four beauties of ancient China, was handed over to the king of Wu and met the husband during his enslavement. Sima Qian's "Historical Records" recorded, "The color of King Wu's good woman, the ministers all eat, and they are beautiful." According to historical records, Xi Shi was one of the favorite concubines of Wu Wangfucha, who was dedicated to Fucha and attracted the attention and love of Fucha with her beauty. Wu Wangfucha also built a gorgeous dance floor for Xi Shi called Hibiki Lang, where she danced to her heart's content. In addition, in order to match this beautiful dancer, Fucha personally designed and made countless exquisite accessories for her, inlaid with gold and jade, which is extremely luxurious. This arrangement of roles undoubtedly greatly angered the loyal minister Wu Zixu, and for a long time, he always refused to take responsibility after the defeat, and was extremely disappointed and angry with King Wu, so he began to pretend to be sick and no longer participate in any political affairs. However, in such a turbulent era, Xi Shi, with his prudent wisdom and firm belief, shouldered the great mission of changing the fate of the country without hesitation.
At the end of 473 B.C., with the help of his mastermind Fan Li and geographers, Goujian, the king of Yue, quietly launched the battle of Fuguo, adopting the strategy of "cutting down trees to the enemy and folding oars in Pu", and finally won a complete victory. As the main military adviser, Fan Li helped Gou Jian successfully achieve hegemony, and was named a general after the restoration of the country. Despite this, he clearly realized that he couldn't escape the reality that Asuka was hiding his bow, and persuaded Doctor Wen to stay away from Gou Jian's side as soon as possible. So the two left the country of Yue in a light boat and disappeared into the vast blue waves. The doctor traveled far away, but he could not escape the ambush that Gou Jian had already laid out, and was finally stabbed to death by Gou Jian. And the final fate of Xi Shi, some people say that after the fall of the Wu State, Gou Jian wanted to keep her by his side, but was resolutely opposed by Fan Li, and was finally sunk in the river, and Xiang Xiaoyu died; Some people also say that on the day of the fall of the Wu Kingdom, Fan Li did two major things: the first was to persuade the doctor Wenchong to leave Goujian's side as soon as possible to avoid danger, and the second was to chase the departing Xi Shi to Zhejiang. The two of them took a boat out of Qilu together, waved their hands without taking away a cloud, and gradually disappeared into the misty and rainy land. The poet Su Shi commented on this: Xizi goes, the boat returns, and the boat carries Xizi into the rivers and lakes.
However, no matter what the truth is, Xi Shi's beauty will always be engraved in people's hearts, and her beautiful image of the country and the city has been deeply imprinted.
