Four Great Beauties of China

Diao Chan is number three of the four Great Beauties of ancient China.
Her name literally means Sable Cicada, has a logical explanation: the most senior people wore clothes decorated with sable fur and jade cicadas ...
Her life falls on the period of the Eastern Han dynasty (25-220). Otherwise, this period was called - the Three Kingdoms - it was a brutal era of internecine wars, palace coups and betrayals.

Like the rest of the Beauties, Diao Chan is better known by her middle name - Bi Yue (闭 月,) - Eclipsing the Moon.
If Diao Chan went out into the garden at night, the moon immediately hid in the clouds, since it could not compete with the radiance of this woman's beauty.
