钟离春 / 钟无艳 / Zhongli Chun
钟离春 / Zhongli Chun, also known in later legend as 钟无艳, appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》49丨孟子曰：我教你治国 你却把我当花瓶 in the episode’s closing side note on 齐宣王. The host says the tradition has Qi Xuan Wang marrying the famously unattractive but capable Zhongli Chun, and links her to the saying “有事钟无艳，无事夏迎春.”
The page is source-scoped. The episode uses Zhongli Chun less as a historical proof point than as part of Qi Xuan Wang’s cultural afterlife, contrasting the legend with the more central political evaluation: Qi Xuan Wang is not treated as a model ruler, but his reign still coincides with Qi’s development and 稷下学宫 flourishing.
