Wong Tai Sin Sign 42 · Wang Yun Meets Diao Chan

This stick tells the story of Wang Yun, a loyal minister during China's Three Kingdoms period (around 190 CE), when the tyrant Dong Zhuo terrorized the Han court. Wang Yun felt helpless against this powerful warlord until he met Diao Chan, one of the legendary Four Beauties of ancient China. Together they devised a brilliant scheme: Diao Chan would seduce both Dong Zhuo and his adopted son Lu Bu, turning them against each other. The plan worked perfectly—jealousy over Diao Chan's affections led Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo, ending his reign of terror. What makes this story powerful isn't just the intrigue, but the collaboration. Wang Yun had the loyalty and determination, Diao Chan had different strengths. Neither could have succeeded alone, but together they toppled a tyrant who seemed invincible.
