Brief Historical Background/Plot Summary

During the time of the Han Dynasty, the Han Empire would constantly be attacked at the borders of their kingdom by other ethnic minority and nomadic groups of China. The main group that waged war on the Han Empire was the Xiongnu Nomads, who eventually became their biggest problem and concern. In order to establish peace, the Han Emperor, Emperor Yuan, decided to marry his daughter, the Han Princess, to the Xiongnu’s leader, HuHan Ye Chanyu, however the marriage was against the princess’s desires, and the Emperor and Empress did not wish to send their daughter to live the rest of her life with the Xiongnu nomads. The Emperor, decided to send one of the palace’s ladies-in-waiting to marry the Xiongnu in place of his daughter. Most of the young women refused, horrified at the idea of leaving their comfortable home in the palace courts, however Wang Zhaojun accepted the offer. It is said that the reason she accepted the offer was because she was tired of life in the court as a lady-in-waiting, and wanted venture into the outside world. The Emperor wished for the plainest lady-in-waiting to be selected, however Wang Zhaojun was too beautiful. The Emperor had never met Wang Zhaojun in person, so the palace painter, Mao Yanshou, who was also in love with Wang Zhaojun, painted her as plain, unattractive girl in order to grant her her freedom. When the Emperor saw the unflattering portrait of Wang Zhaojun, he approved the selection without a second thought, however Wang Zhaojun’s true beauty was revealed when she was summoned to court before the Emperor to take her official leave. The Emperor, feeling regretful, presented her to Chanyu, who fell in love with her at first sight.
