Since ancient times, everybody loves beauty. In ancient Chinese history, there have been four famous beauties, namely Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan, and Yang Yuhuan. These four have the appearance of "sinking fish and geese, and closing the moon and shame the flowers" The reputation is not much beauty. However, destiny did not favor these four people, and Diao Chan was the most pitiful of them.
People who have watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" have a certain knowledge of Diao Chan, and this person is from Wang Yun's mansion. At that time, Dong Zhuo was in control of the government, and Wang Yun used Diao Chan to use Diao Chan in order to defeat him. Wang Yun first asked Diao Chan to meet Dong Zhuo, which made Dong Zhuo think about Diao Chan. After that, Wang Yun hosted a banquet for Lu Bu and promised to send Diao Chan to him. After
, Wang Yun sent Diao Chan into Dong Zhuo's mansion. Lu Bu was furious when he knew it, and therefore hated Dong Zhuo. At this time, Diao Chan told Lu Bu in a pitiful state that he was being persecuted, and only Lu Bu's thoughts were in his heart. As a result, Lu Bu finally carried his sword into the hall in a furious rage to kill the drunk Dong Zhuo.
It can be seen that although Diao Chan is beautiful, it is only a chess piece played by Wang Yun. All she needs to do is to follow Wang Yun’s instructions to go hand in hand between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, and to separate the relationship between the two. There is only strategy and no emotion. Fortunately, Lu Bu really fell in love with Diao Chan, and he never left him.
Diao Chan first appeared in the predecessor of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in "Three Kingdoms Zhiping Hua", but this person is not in the official history. According to the "Three Kingdoms" record, "Zhuo Chang made Bu Shou Zhonghe, Bu and Zhuo's maid had an affair, fearing to discover things, and uneasy." In other words, Lu Bu did have an affair with one of Dong Zhuo's maid, but this maid It's not Diaochan.
Then people can't help but wonder, does the Diao Chan in the novel have no historical basis? In fact, this is not the case. There is a record in the "Han Shu Tong Zhi": "Cao Cao did not get the Zhi, first lure Dong Zhuo, enter Diao Chan to confuse his ruler." "Diao Chan" and "Diao Chan" sound the same, but the characters are different. In other words, there are people who really want to use beauty tricks to confuse Dong Zhuo, and this person is Cao Cao instead of Wang Yun, and it is not used to separate the relationship between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo.
However, since ancient times, novels need to enhance the atmosphere, so the author used Diao Chan to elicit the contradiction between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, which led to the downfall of Dong Zhuo, and also shaped Lu Bu as a villain who tends to betray the master. The future development has paved the way. So, it is not surprising that the author felt a little bit after seeing "Diao Chan" in history, and came up with "Diao Chan", a character whom later generations talked about.
Of course, no matter how you say it, Diao Chan is largely a fictional character. Most of her beauty and her character are beautified and rendered by posterity. For those who want to travel back, I hope to see you The people on Diao Chan's side may be disappointed.
