Story of Wang Zhaojun
Baoping Village which is six or seven km northwest from Xingshan county is the hometown of Wang Zhaojun(one of the Four Beauties in ancient China). Wang Zhaojun was born in Zigui County in Western Han Dynasty ( Zigui, now divided into Zigui and Xingshan two counties, Wang Zhaojun's hometown belongs to Xingshan County). Because of her beauty and versatile, she was elected to the imperial palace. But then she wasn't chose by the emperor as the imperial concubine because she didn't bribe the painter to give rise to her portrait. Later, Wang Zhaojun didn't want to waste her youth in the palace, thus she voluntarily asked to go out the border and married the chief of Hun. Now, Wang Zhaojun's tomb is in Hohhot of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. There are always evergreen grass on the tomb, hence named "Qingzong".
