Two Qiaos

Da Qiao married the warlord Sun Ce, who established the foundation of the state of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.

[3] Sun Ce jokingly told Zhou Yu: "Although Elder Qiao's daughters are exceptionally beautiful, with us as their husbands, it should be a happy enough match.

Zhuge Liang recites an altered version of the poem with added verses:[7] 立雙臺於左右兮 有玉龍與金鳳 攬二喬於東南兮 樂朝夕之與共 俯皇都之宏麗兮 瞰雲霞之浮動 欣群才之來萃兮 協飛熊之吉夢 The two towers rise, one on either flank, This named Golden Phoenix, that Jade Dragon.

Look down; there is the grand beauty of an imperial city, And the rolling vapors lie floating beneath.

Nonetheless, the story of the Bronze Bird Terrace and the Qiao sisters in the popular tradition aroused people's imagination for generations.

Taiwanese supermodel Lin Chi-ling starred as Xiao Qiao in the 2008 Chinese epic war film, Red Cliff, directed by John Woo.

Chinese actress Huang Yi portrayed Xiao Qiao in Just Another Pandora's Box, a spoof of Red Cliff.
