What is the evaluation of Diao Chan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

Diao Chan is a female character in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. She is good at singing and dancing, and has excellent sex skills. With her beauty and wisdom, she moved among the princes in the war-torn era when the princes fought for hegemony. Luo Guanzhong, the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, used two poems to praise Diao Chan's singing and dancing. One of the poems praised her: "She was originally from Zhaoyang Palace. She was like a startled swan in my palm. I only thought she flew over Dongting Spring. She stepped steadily through Liangzhou with lotus steps. A new branch of beautiful flowers was swaying in the wind. The fragrance of the painting hall was warm and spring-like." Another poem said: "The red teeth are busy with the flying swallows, and a cloud is in the painting hall. The eyebrows and black eyebrows make the wanderer hate, and the face breaks the heart of the old friend. Elm money cannot buy a thousand gold smiles, and why does the willow belt need a hundred treasures of makeup. After the dance, I secretly watched her through the curtain, and I didn't know who was King Xiang of Chu." She is one of the four beauties and is known as "Bi Yue", which means that the moon's light is not as beautiful as her.

Why did Dian Wei die in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

In 197 AD (the second year of Jian'an), Cao Cao conquered Jingzhou and came to Wancheng, where Zhang Xiu surrendered. Cao Cao was very happy and invited Zhang Xiu and his generals to have a banquet together. When Cao Cao was drinking, Dian Wei stood behind him with a big axe. The axe blade was more than a foot in diameter. Dian Wei raised his axe and stared at everyone Cao Cao met. At the end of the banquet, Zhang Xiu and his generals did not dare to look up. More than ten days later, Zhang Xiu felt humiliated because Cao Cao married his aunt, so he accepted Jia Xu's suggestion and suddenly rebelled. He attacked Cao Cao's camp by surprise. Cao Cao was killed by surprise, and he fled with a light horse. Dian Wei fought hard in front of the gate, and the bandit army could not enter. The bandit soldiers then dispersed and entered the camp through other gates. At that time, there were still more than ten soldiers under Dian Wei's command, all of whom fought to the death, and all of them fought ten times as hard as one. However, the bandit army came from both sides, and Dian Wei attacked them from both sides with a long halberd. With one strike, he broke more than ten spears of the bandit soldiers. Afterwards, Dian Wei's men were almost all dead or wounded, and Dian Wei himself was wounded dozens of times. The two sides engaged in close combat, and the bandits fought forward. Dian Wei grabbed two of them with his bare hands and killed them. The rest of the bandits did not dare to approach. Dian Wei rushed forward to attack the bandits again, killing several more, but his wounds recurred, and Dian Wei died of anger and cursing. The bandits then dared to move forward, took Dian Wei's head, and passed it around to look at it. The defeated army looked at his body.

Dong Zhuo, whose courtesy name was Zhongying, served as Grand Tutor and Marquis of Mei. In his early years, he was a general of the Han Dynasty. He quelled ethnic minority rebellions in the west and later took part in the campaign against the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Although he was defeated several times, he was still promoted to General and was in charge of a large army. Dong Zhuo was self-reliant and stationed his troops in Hedong. He refused to accept the court's call and give up his military power. At that time, the capital was in turmoil and He Jin was killed. Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to enter the capital and controlled the central government. Afterwards, Dong Zhuo deposed the Emperor Shao of Han and enthroned the Emperor Xian of Han. The princes of Guandong formed an alliance to attack Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo abandoned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an. Dong Zhuo was cruel by nature.

After the news spread, the people sang and danced on the streets and celebrated with wine and meat. Dong Zhuo's body was left on the streets and his family was wiped out.
