In ancient times, when the Central Plains dynasty and foreign tribes were married, we married princesses, but few foreign princesses came here. In fact, there is a reason.
Send princesses to marry a princess generally has two purposes:
First, marriage can stabilize border relations, win over ethnic minorities such as Huns , and allow the Central Plains dynasty to reduce war and stabilize the regime.
Secondly, in the traditional Chinese and foreign thoughts , the princess married " foreign countries , which is a symbol of establishing a vassal relationship.
In addition, the princess of marriage also plays the role of "infernal Affairs". Emperor Wu of Han Princess Jieyou marries Wusun . She spent fifty years to sinicize Wusun. Not only did she devote herself to the arms of the Han Dynasty, but she also became the vanguard of the anti-Huns, causing the Huns to lose control of Western Regions .
Of course, most of these princesses are not the emperor's daughter, but are based on the emperor's daughter. The new princess was promoted at that time. For example, Wang Zhaojun, was from a talent show, Princess Wencheng, was a royal family girl.
Then why didn't the emperor choose a foreign princess?
First of all, the Chinese dynasty emphasizes the pure bloodline. If a foreign woman marrys into the palace, the children born will have foreign bloodlines such as the Xiongnu, which is not allowed by the royal family.
The second reason is that the Huns, Turkic tribes have been sleeping in the open for many years and have a drought climate. Even the princess's skin is dry and dark, and the emperor doesn't like it at all.
