The name of the palace where the Queen of Weiyang Palace lived in the Western Han Dynasty, Jiaofang Palace is also called Jiaoshi. It was named because the walls were painted with pepper and mud, which means warmth, fragrance and fertility. Later, she was also used as a nickname for the concubine. Jiao Fang's favor means that a woman in the palace is favored by the emperor.

Jiaofang comes from "Hanshu. Biography of Dong Xian": "He also summoned Xian's female brother Zhaoyi, who was the second queen, and renamed his house Jiaofeng to match the saying of Jiaofang." Yan Shigu's note: "The Queen's Palace is called Jiao Fang. In order to match its name, it is called Jiao Feng."

"Three Kingdoms. Wei. Biography of Queen Zhiwen Deguo": "It is advisable to be cautious and not to punish." Pei Songzhi's annotation quoted "Book of Wei": "Later, he often issued orders to warn Biao, Biao Wu, etc.: 'In the Jiaofang family of the Han family, few people can take care of themselves. They are all arrogant and extravagant, so be careful!'"
