| has gloss | eng: Heqin was a term used in ancient China for an alliance by marriage. It usually referred to the Chinese Emperor marrying off a "princess" (usually a pseudo-princess or concubine whom he had never met before) to an aggressive "barbarian" chieftain or ruler. The theory was that in exchange for the marriage, the chieftain would cease all aggressive actions toward China. The best-known example of heqin involved the beauty Wang Zhaojun. The first known instance of this type of marriage occurred in 200 BC, when a pseudo-princess was offered to Xiongnu Chanyu as suggested by Lou Jin (later given the surname Liu by the Imperial Court). |

| has gloss | hbs: Heqin je izraz koji se kroz kinesku historiju koristio za politički savez potvrđen brakom. Najčešće je označavao brak između kineske carske princeze, odnosno članice carske porodice za stranog "barbarskog" vladara. Svrha takvog braka je bila spriječavanje "barbarskih" napada na Kinu - u zamjenu za ustručavanje od agresije strani vladar je postajao članom kineske carske porodice. |
