This painting portrays a beautiful lady in the Three Kingdoms period. The Minister Wang Yun used an ingenious strategy. He used his adopted daughter Diao Chan to drive a wedge between two treacherous court officials, Dong Zhou and Lv Bu. Diao Chan understood the strategy and endured humiliation. At last she completed the difficult task and later became a nun. Diao Chan is considered to be one of the four most beautiful women of ancient China. It is believed that she was so beautiful that she could make the moon feel inferior and hide itself into the clouds.
