The struggle between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu for the Western Regions lasted for a hundred years. Not only diplomats like Zhang Qian and Ban Chao, but also famous stars like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, but also princesses who were married far away made outstanding contributions. The story of Princess You Jie and Wusun is unforgettable. In fact, Princess Xijun, as the first person to kiss in the western regions, is also noteworthy. Liu Xijun was born in beautiful Yangzhou. When she was a child, her father, King Jiangdu, died because she participated in the rebellion of King Huainan. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty remembered that Xijun was young and ignorant, and his parents died young, so he raised her in Chang 'an Palace. Liu Xijun is smart and handsome. His outstanding talent and noble temperament cultivated in the palace, elegant speech and proper advance and retreat won the love and appreciation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. When she grew up, it coincided with the marriage plan of the imperial court, so she became the first princess to marry Wu Sun. The mountain is high and the water is far away, and the journey is lonely. The princess can only let her followers play the pipa immediately as a pastime. Li Qi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, described this scene in his poem, "When the drums echoed in the sand wind, we heard the guitar of the Chinese princess telling her endless sorrow". Western troops are also very popular when they arrive in Xiongnu. Princess Han is quiet and beautiful, kind and modest, and has proper words and deeds. She was loved not only by King Wusun, but also by the people of Wusun. They called Princess Xijun "Princess Mu Zi", which means "a princess with fair skin and as beautiful as koumiss". However, even though Liu Xijun is smart and sensible, far away from his native land, unaccustomed to the climate and unable to speak the language, facing the desolate and remote land, the court with intrigue and infighting, and the old and infirm king, it is hard to overcome the infinite sadness in his heart, and he wrote the poem "Elegy": "My family married me in a foreign country, and I am the king of my grandson. The vault is a room with a wall. Meat is food and cheese is pulp. I often have a lingering fear and wish to return to my hometown for Huang Wei. " This poem, also known as Song of Huang Qi, was later included in Hanshu, which vividly described the living conditions of Wusunguo at that time and was called the first frontier poem in ancient China. It is not difficult to see from the poem that Wusunguo was quite primitive at that time and lived in the open air. Food and drink are meat and milk. It is conceivable that this makes it difficult for Princess Xijun, who was born in beautiful Yangzhou and grew up in splendid Chang 'an, to adapt. The infinite sadness in the poem shows that I miss my hometown day and night, even if I can turn into a swan and fly back to my hometown. This poem spread to Chang 'an, and even the strong-willed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was deeply moved and deeply hurt. On the one hand, he sent envoys to send delicious food, utensils and tents to the Western Army to show his condolences, on the other hand, he encouraged the Western Army to put the overall situation of the country first, set his mind at ease in the frontier, and live up to the king's orders. Liu Xijun also failed to obey the king's orders. She struggled in Wusun for five years and never returned to Han until her death, which laid the groundwork for the princess's future marriage and made the greatest sacrifice for the national policy. I hope my soul sticks behind me, and I can cross Wan Li and return to my hometown. If Xijun's story is sad and tragic, then the story of another princess is romantic and beautiful, which is thought-provoking. That's the eldest daughter of Princess You Jie and Queen Kikuchi Weng Guimi. From the bloodline, Shi Ge is the granddaughter of the Han family. It is said that this half-blood princess is extremely intelligent, beautiful and talented. When she was in Wusunguo, she was admired by people. When Dish grew up, Princess You Jie sent her to Chang 'an to study music. On the way to Qiuci, he was received by King Jiang Bin. When the young guest came to see his brother Shi, he was surprised and admired. He immediately asked the princess to marry him and wanted to marry his younger brother Shi. The princess disagreed. The younger brother was the apple of her eye, and she couldn't bear to marry so far away from herself. Other disciples came to Chang 'an, received a good education in the palace, and won the love of Emperor Xiandi because of their outstanding talents. A few years later, I returned to China, and my appearance was even more amazing. Passing through Qiuci again on the way home, King Jiang Bin is still infatuated. In order to get the beloved, the guest made a bold move, detained Brother Shi in Qiuci, and sent messengers to Wusun to meet the princess, begging the princess to agree with Brother Shi's marriage. On the one hand, the princess was deeply moved by the drop-off, on the other hand, the conditions for drop-off were good. The head of a country is young and promising, and this marriage is of great significance. It can win the alliance of another big country in the western region for the Han Dynasty and Wusun, and the good brother Shi deserves it. In short, this time, Princess You Jie finally agreed and reported the matter to the Han court. Married my brother Shi in Qiuci. As you can imagine, how much the couple love Mei and the younger brother. In the second year after their marriage, the newlyweds went to Chang 'an to visit Xuan Di. Emperor Xuan Di was very happy. He named his younger brother Shi as a princess, giving him specifications and etiquette, so his younger brother Shi became the third Han princess to marry into the western regions, and his guest was changed from the granddaughter's husband of the Han family to the son-in-law. The husband and wife learned a lot of Chinese culture in Chang 'an, especially music. Many changes have taken place in China since Jiang Bin returned to Qiuci. Qiuci studied the style of the Han Dynasty, ranging from architectural etiquette to utensils and food. Both husband and wife are proficient in music and have made great efforts for the development of music in China. The ancient music of Qiuci has been passed down to this day, and probably the husband and wife have contributed a lot. I don't understand why people have been praising Wang Zhaojun for thousands of years, but compared with Wang Zhaojun who got married earlier (in terms of time, Xi Jun and Qin Jun relieved their worries and relatives 72 years earlier than Zhao Jun, and 67 years earlier than Zhao Jun), Xi Jun, who is farther away and has made greater contributions, rarely mentioned how to relieve his worries. Compared with Zhao Jun's leaving the village and Xi Jun's caring for his relatives, I always think the latter should be praised more. First of all, as far as the difficulty of intimate relationship is concerned, it is far more difficult to be careful and carefree than to be respectful. Just today, there is still a big difference between marriage in Inner Mongolia and marriage in Xinjiang, not to mention at that time. As can be seen from Liu Xijun's poems, the situation of Wusun at that time was quite primitive and the productivity was underdeveloped. Even the princess of the Han Dynasty could not live in a tent. Although Xiongnu is also a nomadic people, it has a long history, strong national strength, relatively developed grassland culture and much better living conditions than Wusun. In addition, the Xiongnu and Han fought for nearly a hundred years and knew each other very well. However, Liu Xijun's marriage was only a few years after Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions. Before that, Han didn't know there was Wu Sun, and Wu Sun didn't know there was Han, so it was difficult for the two sides to get to know each other. Secondly, the meaning of affinity is very different. When Zhaojun fell in love with his relatives, Han won a decisive victory in the battle with Xiongnu many years ago. The Huns were forced to flee far away, and the country was weak and divided. Han was strong and Xiongnu was weak, so he called Shan to ask for relatives. When Jun and Qin approached, the struggle between Han and Xiongnu for the Western Regions reached a deadlock, and Wusun and other countries had to fight for it. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty offered to form an alliance with the State of Qin, whose success or failure was directly related to the fate of the country. Therefore, the status of the princess who was sent out to marry is different. Xieyou and Xijun are both daughters of the Prince of the Han Dynasty, close relatives of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, with noble status, while Wang Zhaojun is actually just a maid-in-waiting, and only because she is too beautiful has she become the focus of attention in the Han Dynasty. This contrast is not to belittle Zhao Jun, who has also made arduous sacrifices for the peace of the country. I just think that sometimes history may not be a bowl of water. Let's talk more, solve our worries and be quiet. After being unknown for so long, they deserve these praises.
