Talk:Four Beauties

Section removed

Below is a section removed from the article. Much of it is repeat. Then there are some original research. Benjwong (talk) 17:02, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Her claim to the pantheon of feminine pulchritude was that her affair with the famous warrior Lü Bu brought about a rift between him and his adopted father, Dong Zhuo, stopping the latter's unpopular attempts to overthrow the Han Emperor. These deeds were recorded, however, more than a thousand years after her death, in the Ming Dynasty novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, itself one of the Four Great Classical Novels of China. No contemporary records mention any Diao Chan. While the official history of the Han dynasty, Hou Han Shu, discusses a servant girl of Dong Zhuo's with whom Lü Bu had an affair, she was not named. Diao Chan may have been that girl, but there is no historical evidence linking the two. Moreover, "Diao" is not a common Chinese family name. (Diaochan was a term commonly used to describe top officials' hat decorations during the subsequent Jin Dynasty). She is the only one of the Four Great Beauties who possibly never actually existed.
