Xi Shi

Xi Shi as depicted in the album ''Gathering Gems of Beauty'' (畫麗珠萃秀) Xi Shi (Hsi Shih; , ), also known by the nickname Xizi, was one of the renowned Four Beauties of ancient China. She was said to have lived in a small Yue village (today part of Zhuji, a county-level city in Shaoxing, Zhejiang) during the end of the Spring and Autumn period. According to legend, Xi Shi was originally a girl who regularly washed gauze in the Huan Sha river.

In traditional stories, Xi Shi was named Shi Yiguang (施夷光). She was discovered by the Yue minister Fan Li and given to King Fuchai of Wu by King Goujian of Yue in a sexpionage operation which successfully brought down the State of Wu in 473 BC. This account first appeared in ''Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue'' published five centuries after the conquest, and is completely absent in earlier works such as ''Guoyu'', ''Zuo zhuan'', and ''Records of the Grand Historian''.

Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan and Yang Guifei are known as the “Four Beauties in Ancient China”, among which Xi Shi is chronologically the first. Provided by Wikipedia
