Wang Zhaojun was one of the four most beautiful women in ancient China. She was born in 52 BC, Xingshan County Hubei province. She was chosen to live in the Han Imperial Palace. When being painted her lofty character prevented her from bribing the artist so in turn she was painted ugly. Due to this the emperor didn’t notice her for many years. At that time there were many wars taking place in the border area. Wang Zhaojun requested to go to Xiongnu and married to the Xiongnu's prince for the peace of the border area. Only on the point of departure did the emperor see the real beauty of Wang Zhaojun. He was angered with the artist and killed him. Wang Zhaojun was confirmed as the Queen of Xiongnu, she brought peace and stability in the border area and also inter-ethnic friendship.
