Da Qiao (simplified Chinese: 大乔; traditional Chinese: 大喬; pinyin: Dàqiáo) (lifespan: unknown) was the daughter of Qiao Xuan and together with her younger sister Xiao Qiao, they were known as the two great beauties of ancient China.
Da Qiao is believed to be a fictional character from the famous Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Chinese Literature. There is no evidence or reference in the actual history that the two sisters existed. She was married to Sun Ce of the Kingdom of Wu and they had 2 children, Sun Shao and Lady Sun. Lady Sun later married Lu Xun.
Within the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the two Qiaos were believed to be one of the major causes of the Battle at Chibi. Zhuge Liang manipulated Zhou Yu by acknowledging him about Cao Cao's plot to obtain the Qiao sisters for himself. Enraged, Zhou Yu plotted with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to attack Cao Cao.
Cao Cao faced a crushing defeat from a fire attack during the battle and was forced to retreat. The Qiao sisters were never taken from Wu.
Da Qiao is also a playable character in the game, Dynasty Warriors, who wields twin fans as weapons. She shares the same armaments as her younger sister, Xiao Qiao.
