[1] Due to her act of extreme bravery, she was immortalized as one of the exemplars of courage and virtue performed by a woman in Chinese history.

[2] Zhao E is one of the heroines depicted in the Wu Shuang Pu (無雙譜; Table of Peerless Heroes) by Jin Guliang.

One day, in front of the governmental pagoda in the prefectural capital, Zhao E produced a blade hidden behind the curtains of her carriage, and stabbed Li Shou to death in broad daylight.

In traditional Chinese culture, avenging the death of a father is seen as upholding the important virtue of filial piety, and the magistrate Yin Jia (尹嘉) was so swayed by her case that he proposed to step down from his office rather than execute her.

The district lieutenant did not dare arrest Zhao E, implicitly advised her to leave Tang County, and forced her to go home.

Zhao E's insistence on obeying the law earned her many admirers who escorted her home, her legacy was spread throughout the nation and she was greatly revered.

In admiration of her sense of duty, the provincial authorities set up a stele at her gate while such courage and enterprise displayed by a woman were reported to the court and celebrated across the empire.

Her son, Pang Yu, also earned a reputation for his courage and loyalty; he was appointed a Marquis within the Passes during the reign of Emperor Wen of Wei.
