Zhaojun's arrival in Xiongnu was warmly welcomed by the locals. During her very limited life, Wang contributed greatly to the exchange between the Han and Hun cultures. It was Wang's marriage to the chief of the Hun Tribe that ensured the Western Han were able to maintain a harmonious relation with Xiongnu for more than sixty years. Wang Zhoujun died at the age of 33, but her sons and daughters continued her good deeds in keeping this good relationship between the Han and Hun nations.
