Chapter 81 The Four Beauties of Ancient China
"It seems that everyone is very interested in the story of King Goujian of Yue."

Seeing that everyone was already stimulated before he started talking, Chen Fan said with a smile.

He naturally understood this feeling, and then said: "However, King Goujian of Yue did not dominate the Spring and Autumn Period from the very beginning. Even before he dominated the Spring and Autumn Period, he was defeated by King Fuchai of Wu. In order to survive, Goujian surrendered to Fuchai. , and took his wife and children to the country of Wu to become Fucha's groom. In order to paralyze the king of Wu, Goujian sent his minister Wen Zhong to look for beautiful women in the country of Yue. Finally, Wen Zhong found a beautiful woman in a place called Zhuluo Village in Zhuji. I met a beautiful woman, her name is Shi Yiguang, because her family lives in the west of the village, so many people call her Xi Shi."

"Teacher Chen Fan, is Gou Jian trying to use a beauty trick?"

Such a strategy is not difficult to guess, some tourists guessed and asked.

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded.

However, another tourist said: "Is this kind of strategy too low-end? After all, King Wu will not have such a beautiful woman."

Chen Fan also understood the feelings of the tourists, and then said: "Whether the beauty trick is good or not depends on whether the beauty is beautiful. If his beauty reaches a certain level, I think, let alone the king of Wu Anyone would be moved by it. And Xi Shi is such a beauty. Then, how beautiful is he? If it is put into the present, I can say that he is the first of the four beauties in ancient China."

"The head of the four beauties in ancient China... this..."

"I know everyone wants to say, the first of the four beauties in ancient China. Is this title too absolute? How can you prove that Xi Shi is the first of the four beauties in ancient China? Here, I will tell you a little story."

Chen Fan took his time.

The story about Xi Shi was known to all women and children in her previous life.

"Because Xi Shi is so beautiful, once, she went to wash clothes in the river. The river water printed Xi Shi's beautiful shadow into the water. Just at this time, a group of fishes came to play happily. A group of swimming fish saw Xi Shi's beauty. They were so shocked that they forgot to swim and all sank into the water. Therefore, later people described Xi Shi's beauty and compared it to a sunken fish."

"Sink the fish, the fish sank to the bottom of the water...I'll go, what kind of brains can come up with this."

There was applause.

Take what you just said.

If Chen Fan had been emphasizing the beauty of Xi Shi just now, or used various beautiful words to describe Xi Shi.

But no matter how you describe it, everyone will not think that Shih Tzu is so beautiful.

but.

Using an allusion of "sinking fish" at this moment, all of a sudden everyone remembered the beauty of Xi Shi in their hearts.

After all, the allusion of Chen Yu is fresh and refined. It is not only imaginative, but also very memorable.

Think about it.

Even the fish forgot to swim when they saw Shih Tzu, and sank into the water, what kind of state should this beauty reach.

and.

Earlier, Chen Fan also brought up the idea of ​​the four beauties in ancient times.

of course.

In fact, some people have mentioned the four beauties, and many people have even mentioned the top ten beauties in history.

But it's useless for others to mention it, because they have no standard for evaluation, and there is no allusion of Chen Fan's sinking fish.

Therefore, everyone will not be too impressed with the four beauties and the top ten beauties evaluated by others.

But at this moment, Chen Fan not only proposed the title of Four Beauties, but also used allusions to correspond to the standard.

This is directly more vivid than the four beauties and the top ten beauties proposed by everyone before.

"Teacher Chen Fan, the four beauties of ancient China, from this point of view, besides Xi Shi, there are three other people?"

"Correct."

Chen Fan nodded: "In addition to Xi Shi, there are three other people. However, today I am not talking about the other three. But I can describe the four beauties in ancient China in one sentence."

"What?"

"Shen Yuluoyan, Guanyue shames flowers. Chen Yu refers to Xi Shi...Luoyan and Guanyue, shame flowers... refers to the other three people."

"it is good."

The applause grew louder.

"Sinking fish and falling geese, closing the moon and shameful flowers... Awesome."

"Chen Yu is talking about fish sinking to the bottom, but what do Luoyan, Closed Moon and Shameful Flower mean?"

"I don't know what it means, but I think it's very hanging. I guess in the future when it comes to the four beauties of ancient times, no one else has anything to do."

"That's right, the anchor's storytelling is top-notch. The fish fall into the wild, and the moon is ashamed... Just these eight words, others can only be amazed."

The story of Shih Tzu attracted many people at once.

and.

In order to better reflect Xi Shi's beauty, Chen Fan also told a little story.

"According to legend, there is a girl named Dong Shi in the village. Dong Shi lives in the east of the village, so she is called Dong Shi. But Dong Shi looks very ordinary, even ugly. Because Xi Shi is really ugly. She is so beautiful, so Dong Shi always wanted to imitate Xi Shi. Once, Xi Shi was washing clothes in the village, but her chest was really hurting. So Xi Shi frowned while holding her chest with her hands. But although In this way, the villagers all said that this kind of Xi Shi was more beautiful than usual. Dong Shi saw it and followed suit. But what she didn't know was that she was already ugly and deliberately imitated Xi Shi. Such actions not only Instead of making Dong Shi more beautiful, it became even uglier. This story was later called Dong Shi's imitation. And the movement of Xi Shi holding her chest was also called Xi Zi's heart-holding by later generations, and it has been passed down for thousands of years."

Chen Fan was talking.

An extremely beautiful Xi Shi has appeared in their eyes.

even.

There are also several female tourists who also made the gesture of holding Xizi's heart.

As soon as such a movement was made, even the tourists next to him were stunned.

"Let me go, Dong Shi imitates, Xi Zi holds her heart... Well, now that Xi Shi is the first of the four beauties in ancient China, I am convinced."

There are stories, allusions, idioms, and live demonstrations of beauties.

This is simply a godlike legend.

It can be said.

These few short stories of Chen Fan have completely expressed the beauty of Xi Shi and the vividness of Xi Shi.

If you want to find another one in history who can compare with Xi Shi, it is basically impossible.

But the story about Shih Tzu did not end, Chen Fan continued:

"But although Xi Shi is beautiful, it only has her external conditions. In order to completely fascinate Fu Chai, the Yue Kingdom spent another three years teaching him singing and dancing, walking, etiquette, etc... Xi Shi worked hard and worked hard for three years. Years later, Xishi showed her beauty with every gesture and manner. Therefore, when Xishi was presented to the Wu Palace by Wen Zhong, King Fucha of Wu completely fell into Xishi's gentle hometown."

"In order to please Xi Shi, Fu Chai built the Spring Night Palace in Gusu, where he played and played with Xi Shi all day long. Moreover, Fu Chai knew that Xi Shi liked to dance, so he built a Guanwa Palace for Xi Shi. Even because Xi Shi was good at dancing rattles, Fucha also built a corridor for Xi Shi, which used hundreds of large vats, covered with wooden boards, and Xi Shi danced in wooden clogs, with small bells on her skirts. Intertwined together, Fu Chai was intoxicated, indulged in women's sex, and ignored the government. Moreover, because of Xi Shi, Fu Chai also let Gou Jian, the king of Yue, go back."

Hearing this, many people envied Xi Shi's beauty.

At the same time, he began to mourn for King Wu again.

When a monarch begins to enjoy himself, he is doomed to tragedy.

"Yes. But...Although Goujian was released by the King of Wu, the strength of the Yue Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom are still far apart. In order to take revenge, Goujian not only let Xi Shi continue to bewitch the King of Wu in the Wu Palace, but also continued to improve With the strength of his own country, he worked with the common people and slept on firewood. In order not to forget the hatred of Wu, he hung a gall in the place where he slept. Every day Goujian would personally taste the taste of gall , when bitter sweat enters Goujian's mouth, Goujian will always say to himself, have you forgotten the hatred of Wu State for destroying Yue State?"

"In the end, with ten years of hard work and Gou Jian's will to endure hardships, Gou Jian defeated Wu and became the last overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period."

Chen Fan's story is over.

When people looked at the previously desolate Yuewang Terrace, many, many stories appeared in their minds.

the other side.

Wang Jing, who was already extremely excited, said to Li Ju: "Li Ju, can I be in charge of another scenic spot?"
