The "Four Great Beauties" of ancient China are legendary figures celebrated not only for their extraordinary physical allure but also for their profound influence on Chinese history and culture. Each woman embodies a unique blend of beauty, tragedy, and symbolism, immortalized in poetry, art, and folklore. 

Xi Shi:

During the Spring and Autumn period, Xishi of Yue was famed for her beauty. When she washed clothes by the creek, the fish, ashamed by her radiance, sank out of sight—earning her the title “the beauty who made fishes sink.”

The card stock has a nice matte finish that makes shuffling smooth, and the Xi Shi illustration is easily my favorite in the deck. I bought these for a history buff friend and now I kind of want a set for myself.

The artwork on each card is gorgeous — Xi Shi and the other three beauties are rendered with real detail, not the cheap clip-art look I was expecting. I've been using them for our weekly poker night and everyone keeps asking where I got them. Shuffle feel is smooth right out of the box too.

Emily ★★★★★

The artwork on each card is genuinely gorgeous, and the little bios of the four beauties make it feel like a tiny history lesson while you play. I've had them out for two game nights already and everyone keeps asking where I got them.
