Wang Zhaojun was born in Zigui, Nanjun (now Xingshan County, Yichang City, Hubei) in the first year of Ganlu (53 BC) of Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty. She was selected into Yeting and became a palace maid. At that time, Hu Hanxie Chanyu came to the court, and Emperor Yuan issued an edict to reward five of his maids. However, Zhaojun had been in the palace for several years and was not favored by the emperor. He was filled with sadness and resentment in his heart, so he took the initiative to ask for peace with the Xiongnu. Before Huhanxie Chanyu left, Before the ceremony, Emperor Yuan paid a farewell visit and asked five palace maids to go out. Zhaojun was well-dressed and beautiful. Emperor Yuan was very surprised. He wanted to keep him but did not want to break his promise, so he gave it to the Xiongnu.

"Hanshu. Biography of the Xiongnu" (Part 2) records that Zhaojun and Huhanxie "gave birth to a son", namely Master Yitu Zhiya; "Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Biography of the Southern Xiongnu" records that Zhaojun and Huhanxie "Have Two Sons", not nominated. The second son may be the mistake of one son. In the second year of Jianshi (31 BC), two and a half years after Zhaojun left the fortress, Huhanxie Chanyu died. Zhaojun wrote to the Han court asking for his return. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty issued an order to "follow the Hu customs" and adopt the succession marriage system in accordance with the nomadic people's system, and remarry Huhanxie. The eldest son of Han Xie's Xiongnu wife, Xinli's new brother, Leruo Ding, lived together for eleven years and had two daughters. The eldest daughter was named Yun, and she later married Xubu Dang, and was called Xubu Juci (Mrs.). The second daughter Shi lost her name, and later married to the Dangyu clan, and was called Dangyu Juci. After Fuzhu's death, Zhaojun became a widow. He was about thirty-three or four years old at that time.

Wang Zhaojun is a symbol of peace and friendship between Han and Xiongnu. The relationship between Han and Hungary lasted for a full hundred years from the second year of Emperor Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty (133 BC), when "Wang Hui sought Mayi, and the Xiongnu made peace" to the first year of Emperor Jingning of the Yuan Dynasty, when Zhaojun left the fortress. Historian Jian Bozan said: "The year Zhaojun left the country was the 100th anniversary of the end of the Xiongnu peace. It was clear that the political mission entrusted to her was to restore the friendly relations between the Han and the Xiongnu that had been interrupted for a hundred years."< /p>

Judging from historical facts, Wang Zhaojun’s marriage to the Huns did play an important role in restoring peaceful and friendly relations between Han and Huns. From the perspective of the Han Dynasty, the year when Zhaojun left the fortress should have been the sixth year of Jianzhao. Because Zhaojun left the fortress and Han and Hungary reconciled, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty changed the sixth year of Zhaojun to the first year of Jingning. The edict of Emperor Yuan said: "Hu Hanxie Chanyu will not forget his kindness, admire the etiquette and justice, and restore the gift of greetings. I hope that the message will be kept forever and that there will be no military revolution in the border areas. He changed the Yuan Dynasty to Jingning, and gave the Chanyu the imperial edict. Wang Qiang of Yeting is the Yan family. "The meaning of "Jingning" is Ying Shao's saying: "Hu Hanxie Shanyu is willing to protect the border, so the border will be peaceful, so it is called Guanyuan."

< p> From the perspective of the Xiongnu, "Hanshu. Biography of the Xiongnu" (Part 2) records: Emperor Yuan said: "Zhaojun gave the Chanyu, and the Chanyu happily wrote a letter willing to protect the fortress from the west of Shanggu to Dunhuang, and spread it endlessly. Please stop preparing for the border fortress. The officials and soldiers are the emperor's people." Zhaojun was also called "Ning Hulan's family". The meaning of "Ning Hu", Yan Shigu said: "If you talk about Hu, the country will be peaceful." The Yan family is the honorific title of Shanyu's wife.

The living habits and marriage customs of the Han and Hun nationalities are very different. From Wang Zhaojun's desire to return to his homeland after the death of Huhanxie Chanyu, we can see Wang Zhaojun's discomfort with living in the Huns and his psychological well-being. The weight of the burden. But none of this hindered Wang Zhaojun's efforts to spread Han culture and safeguard the peaceful and friendly coexistence of the two ethnic groups. Zhaojun's ex-husband Huhanxie Chanyu and his later husband Fuzhu Leruotian Chanyu have always been friendly to the Han Dynasty, creating a 60-year peace between Han and Huns. This is inseparable from Zhaojun's efforts. After the liberation, archaeologists unearthed tiles near present-day Baotou, Inner Mongolia, which were engraved with auspicious sayings such as "The Chanyu and his wife may live forever, and there will be endless joy". This was a souvenir made by the Huns to celebrate "Zhaojun's departure from the fortress". Zhaojun won the respect of the Huns. The poet Zhao Jie of the Yuan Dynasty believed that Wang Zhaojun's contribution was no less than that of the famous Han Dynasty general Huo Qubing. Zhaojun's story has become an enduring story of national unity in the history of our country. She is not only stunningly beautiful, but also has the responsibility to serve as the king of the Han Dynasty. Spread the light and the great mission of Panning Hu.

Under the influence of Wang Zhaojun, Zhaojun’s juniors also made important contributions to the friendship between Han and Hungary. In the fifth year since the founding of Wang Mang (AD 13), the Xiongnu Wu Zhuliu Ruoti Shanyu passed away. At that time, Zhaojun's eldest daughter Yun's son-in-law, the Right Bone Marquis Xubudang, took power and established Yilizhizhihou Xian as Shanyu, who was friendly with the Han. In order to maintain and develop the friendly relations between the Xiongnu and the Han. When Yu Yun also suggested that the new Chanyu should meet with Wang She, the nephew of Zhaojun, the "Happy Marquis" of the Han Dynasty, and "send someone to report the matter to the officials." After Wang Mang learned about it, he sent Wang She and his younger brother Wang Sa to " The Xiongnu congratulated Shan Yu on the new establishment", which further strengthened the friendly relations between Han and Hungary.

Zhaojun's nephew, like Zhaojun's daughter, son-in-law, and grandson, served as important envoys of the Xiongnu to the Han Dynasty many times, promoting the development of friendly relations between Han and Xiongnu. Wang Zhaojun has two nephews, one named Wang She and the other named Wang Sa. During the reign of Wang Mang, everyone was granted the title of marquis. She was granted the title of Heqinhou, and Sa was appointed as the Cavalry Commander during the reign of Wang Mang, and was granted the title of Dehou of Zhan. In the first year of Tianfeng (AD 14), Wang Mang sent the two of them as envoys to the Huns. In the second year, Wang She was sent as an envoy to the Xiongnu. In the second year of Gengshi, Liu Xuan sent Wang Sa as an envoy to the Xiongnu. Until the sixth year of Jianwu of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 30), Liu Xiu also sent Wang Sa as an envoy to the Huns.

Zhaojun and his juniors spared no effort to improve the relationship between Han and Hungary. They not only did many icing on the cake, but also resolved the huge risk that could cause the relationship between the two countries to collapse. For example, in the fourth year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Mang killed Youli of the Xiongnu and defiled Wang Xian's son in Chang'an. Later, Xian established him as a Chanyu and was extremely resentful of Mang. In order to improve the relationship between Han and Hungary, Wang Mang sent Wang She as an envoy in the second year of Tianfeng to "send the corpse of Gui Deng".

The Xiongnu also sent Zhaojun's eldest daughter Yun and son-in-law Xubudang and Yun and Dang's son Sheshe "to the fortress to welcome him." For such a situation to arise, there is no doubt that Zhaojun's juniors have done a lot of arduous mediation and reconciliation work with their "perfect match" tacit understanding.

During Wang Mang’s reign, he implemented reactionary policies that discriminated against ethnic minorities, such as changing the name of the Xiongnu Chanyu to "Jiannu Chanyu" or "Gongnu Shanyu", etc. He also conspired to split the Xiongnu and prepared a large army to attack them. The Xiongnu engaged in a large-scale war; the Xiongnu also repeatedly harassed the Han border. The situation is quite serious and is on the verge of breaking out. But even so, the war never broke out, nor did it develop into a fierce confrontation. Envoys from both sides continued to communicate. This is inseparable from Zhaojun's influence and his juniors' efforts for friendship and peace.
