From these short words, all the strange things of Zhu Yuanzhang are made clear, especially the last sentence, which shows that Zhu Yuanzhang is good-looking and handsome, and there is a strange bone running straight to the top of his head.
He was ambitious and behaved abnormally since he was a child, but no one could see where his ambition was, and the most controversial thing about Zhu Yuanzhang in history was actually his appearance.
It is rumored that there are many portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang in history, each of which is different. In our impression, Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance seems to have been stereotyped: long chin, fierce face and pockmarked face, unlike what an emperor should look like, but the description of his appearance in Ming History is a false exaggeration.
Just when we have formed an impression of Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, the history books say that Zhu Yuanzhang is ugly, which is actually an insult to the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty by Manchu people, because the Qing Dynasty can only enter the Central Plains by defeating the Ming Dynasty.
There were still many people in the early Qing Dynasty who wanted to "fight against the Qing Dynasty and regain their sight" because of the unstable situation in the early Qing Dynasty. In compiling historical materials in the late Qing Dynasty, they exaggerated Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance and said that Zhu Yuanzhang was autocratic, which also made people feel far away from him.
There is another saying about Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, that is, he is actually very good-looking, handsome and elegant. According to the portrait, the portrait is an amiable old man with extraordinary appearance. He looks very domineering in a yellow robe.
It is unheard of for a person to leave such two extreme portraits in history, but there are still 16 portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang in history. So which portrait is the true appearance of Zhu Yuanzhang? This issue is still the most controversial topic at present.
Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown is in Fengyang County. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese have spread the battlefield to Fengyang, in his hometown of Fengyang, stole the true image of Zhu Yuanzhang.
After Japan's defeat, they didn't return this ancient painting that originally belonged to China, but took it back to Japan, and now it is in the longxing temple in Japan.
In this painting, what Zhu Yuanzhang really looks like is painted. He is not so ugly, nor so luxurious, but his facial features are disordered.
Then why is Zhu Yuanzhang, as a generation of emperors, so different in appearance? Shouldn't there be many painters in the palace to draw the emperor's face for later compilation of historical materials?
It turns out that Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait has experienced three painters. The first painter was very practical and realistic. He painted Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance clearly with strokes, and also melted the mistakes of the five senses. But Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and got rid of him in a rage.
The second painter played a little cleverness and made Zhu Yuanzhang a hero, completely losing his sense of reality, which also made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry. Until the last painter painted it, Zhu Yuanzhang's five senses were blurred and ugliness and beauty could not be seen.
This is why people in later generations have great misunderstandings about Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance.
But in fact, no matter how Zhu Yuanzhang looks, in that era when he can't see strength, looks can't take advantage at all. Only strength is the most important. It is really because Zhu Yuanzhang has real skills that Guo Ziyi married his daughter and became the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so no matter when, a person's strength is the most important thing.
