Empress Dowager Cixi of Yang Yuhuan reveals three beautiful sheep concubines in the history of China.

Sheep rank eighth in the zodiac. The ancients lived a nomadic life, and it was considered a very auspicious thing for sheep to grow strong and reproduce. However, the word "auspicious" appeared later, and "Ji Yang" was the later "auspicious". Shuowen is interpreted as "sheep", because the image of sheep is beautiful in the eyes of the ancients, so the word "beauty" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions originally came from the image of sheep. At the same time, sheep are gentle and honest, so they have the word "good". There is also a ceremony of kneeling on the chest, so countless words "righteousness" also carry the word "sheep".

But since ancient times, people's consciousness has felt that women who belong to sheep have a bad life. Foucault is not a good zodiac, and there is a saying that "ten sheep are incomplete". However, a person's fate should be in his own hands, and it needs constant efforts and promotion to gain recognition from others. Throughout the ancient history of China for thousands of years, three beautiful queens occupy a place on the historical stage.

In the 15th year of Tianbao, in 756 AD, An Lushan rebelled, went into exile with Li Longji in Shu, passed through Maxie Post Station, and died in the disorderly army. Du Fu wrote in the poem "Mourning for the Head": "Where are those perfect eyes and that pearl-like tooth? A blood-stained soul has no home and nowhere to go. A clear wave flowed eastward, crossed the Diaolou Mountain Road, and there was no news. People, be merciful, make a wish with tears in your eyes, and the flood and Cao Jiang will always be there! "
