The name of Diao Chan in the Romance of The Three Kingdoms derives from the Diao Chan crown invented by the State of Zhao in the Warring States Period.Since the middle and late Neolithic Age,the cicada culture in the Central Plains and the mink culture in the northeast and the Mongolian Plateau had experienced a long-term integration in the Yellow River basin,and Diao Chan crown is its crystallization.In the Qin and Han Dynasties,Diao Chan crown was always assigned to palace attendants.In the Wei and Jin Dynasties,the Diao Chan crown worn by the female Shangshu began to combine with women,and the reform of Later Zhao in the Sixteen States further combined Diao Chan crown with beautiful women.In the Tang and Song Dynasties,the allocation of Diao Chan crowns changed from the group of emperor's attendants to the group of foreign officials,and the range of Diao Chan crowns was obviously expanded.By the Yuan Dynasty,although the scope of application of Diao Chan crown had greatly narrowed,it made them more familiar to civil society.These historical origins provided the conditions for the formation of the beauty Diao Chan's name and even the generation and dissemination of her story.Diao Chan's"fame"is the result of fusion creation,inheritance and innovation,and its process vividly reflects the continuity,innovation,inclusiveness and pluralistic unity of Chinese culture.
