Since the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, there has been a portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang with extraordinary appearance and strange facial features hanging in Xiaoling Hall. Mochou Lake and Zhenjiang Jiaoshan Temple also have busts of Zhu Yuanzhang, which are dignified and dignified, obviously different from the portraits of the Ming Tombs.
This is related to the story of Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait circulated among the people in Nanjing. Legend 1: According to Shi San's records, after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he sent someone to find the best painter to paint his portrait in order to pass on his dignity to future generations. Soon, two famous painters in Beijing were called into the palace, but there was no news after they entered the palace, which made the painters in Beijing very nervous.
One day, the painter living in Wuyi Lane was informed that he would enter the palace tomorrow. The painter was frightened! I went to Erxian Bridge in Shimonoseki overnight and asked a resourceful hermit friend for help. The hermit told him, "After you enter the palace, you must be calm, carefully observe the images of emperors of past dynasties, and see clearly the three portraits of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. In particular, we should draw more portraits of Liu Bang. After entering the palace, the faces of Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang should be mixed together and painted into the works. Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied and gave him eight pieces of silks and satins, Four Treasures of the Study, rice paper lake pens and so on.
When the painter went home and invited the hermit for a drink, he gave him a gift from the emperor. According to it, the hermit only needs to draw another picture of Zhu Yuanzhang and give it to him. Three days later, the painter gave this painstaking portrait to the hermit.
This is the painting that was later hung in Xiao Ming. Legend 2: Zhu Yuanzhang sent three brothers who were also painters to paint his portrait.
Shilling boss painted, the boss carefully looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's face, described it in detail, and drew a Zhu Yuanzhang with a horse face and a pig mouth. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the killing of the boss as soon as he saw it.
The next day, he ordered the second child to draw, and the second child remembered the color and depth of the pockmarked part exactly the same, bringing Zhu Yuanzhang's painting to life. Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head after reading it and killed the second child.
The third child saw his two brothers killed. He was miserable and depressed. A Taoist priest dressed in untidy clothes came to beg from him. Seeing that the third child was sad, the Taoist asked him to make peace with him. The third child told the Taoist about the portrait. The Taoist priest smiled and said, "That's only because your two brothers are so alike. Zhu Yuanzhang admired Liu Bang, Li Shimin and Zhao Kuangyin most in his life. Tomorrow you will look after the portraits of the three of them and make sure you are all right. " The next day, the third son entered the palace, and according to the orders of the Taoist priest, Zhu Yuanzhang was painted elegant and imposing. Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy after seeing it.

Second, whether Zhu Yuanzhang is ugly or beautiful is ugly.
. That's what everyone says.
. What does Zhu Yuanzhang look like? 10 years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang's illustrations in history textbooks for primary and secondary schools were extremely ugly. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait brought terror to people. Zhu Yuanzhang's face on the screen is very long, his chin is protruding like a hook, his face is pockmarked and he has a hunchback.
Now the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang in the textbook is kind-hearted, with a white beard, and his expression reveals gentleness and correct facial features. Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang before, the people in the two portraits are very different, and there is no connection between them, which makes the gentlemen engaged in history teaching very embarrassed and makes many inexperienced students wonder if Zhu Yuanzhang had plastic surgery in his later years! In his Biography of Zhu Yuanzhang, Wu Han, a master of Ming history, provided readers with four portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning, each of which just occupied a whole page.
The first picture of Zhu Yuanzhang, dressed in royal robes, sitting in a dragon chair, is ugly, with a big black face, high temples, prominent cheekbones, big nose, big ears and heavy eyebrows, glaring and smiling coldly. His broad chin is longer than his forehead, and his hands are put in his sleeves to keep warm. This painting is in the Palace Museum. The image in the second picture is basically the same as that in the first picture. It is a profile portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang sitting in a simple chair in casual clothes. This painting is collected in the Ming Tombs in Nanjing.
In the third picture, Zhu Yuanzhang is strong and energetic, dressed in imperial clothes, with his eyes staring at the front and his hands firmly on his legs, showing an invincible imperial atmosphere. This portrait should be a middle-aged Zhu Yuanzhang, about the same size as the first two, and this one was taken from Chinese emperors. The fourth picture is of Zhu Yuanzhang in his later years. It's a bust. It looks like a standard photo for today's exam. Like Zhu Yuanzhang, he wore a dragon robe, big ears, heavy eyebrows and a kind light in his eyes. He has a white beard and painted a portrait of a distinguished old man, which is as majestic as a god, making the villain fear and the gentleman admire. This painting is in the Palace Museum.
Does this mean Wu? I don't know if Zhu Yuanzhang is beautiful or ugly, but what about Wu? I put the ugly two in the front and the beautiful two in the back, which shows that he is more likely to be ugly. Strict historians abide by written materials and learn from history.
This biography describes Zhu Yuanzhang as "the appearance of the capital, amazing, with white bones on the top." That is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang is very special and belongs to an ugly type.
There is a wonderful and unforgettable story about Zhu Yuanzhang's true face, which is commonly known as unofficial history. It is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he called painters from all over the world to paint his portrait.
The first painter was very serious and detailed, and painted Zhu Yuanzhang vividly. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he saw it and put a heavy pressure on the jade belt around his waist. This is Zhu Yuanzhang's usual action when he wants to kill people, just like Guan Yu will kill people when he stares. The guards around him pushed the realistic painter out and beheaded him. The second painter learned the lesson of the first painter and made Zhu Yuanzhang handsome and extraordinary. Zhu Yuanzhang was even more angry after reading it. He thinks the painter is flattering him and will only beautify him. He didn't paint the real him, so he pushed the painter out and killed him on charges of cheating the monarch! The third painter learned the experience of the first two painters and realized the reason for being killed. Through Zhu Yuanzhang's psychological speculation, he found that Zhu Yuanzhang worshipped Liu Bang, so he found Liu Bang's portrait and studied it carefully. The portrait only depicts Zhu Yuanzhang's face, painting Zhu Yuanzhang as a kind face, beautiful eyes and dignified appearance.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with the painter and sent him home. Then he ordered many copies and gave them to the princes and princes respectively. These are the most beautiful two. After the painter came home, he drew Zhu Yuanzhang from memory and saved the painting. These are the ugliest two.
Is Zhu Yuanzhang good-looking or ugly? To this end, people from all sides have their own opinions. Strict historians believe that Zhu Yuanzhang should be ugly in words and portraits, while people who love Zhu Yuanzhang often defend Zhu Yuanzhang from beautiful pictures, with personal preferences. They looked through the portraits of the Ming emperors and found that all the emperors in the Ming Dynasty had wide faces, square faces and short legs. Inferred from the perspective of genetics, Zhu Yuanzhang, as their ancestor, can't look bad.
Even when Zhu Yuanzhang was young, he married a beautiful young Ma Xiuying, and he had the right to become a rich man. From this, Zhu Yuanzhang must be handsome. If he really looks strange, his face looks like a three-dimensional "mountain", Ma Xiuying would never think about it.
3. Does the history book say that Shen Wansan was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang? Shen Wansan was not killed by Zhu Yuanzhang in history.
In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang prepared to build the capital in Nanjing and decided to expand Yingtian City, making it very grand. However, due to frequent wars and huge expenses, there is no money to repair the city wall.
Shen Wansan, Fu Hao promised to be responsible for the construction of the section from Jubaomen to Shuiximen, and related projects, such as profile houses, streets, bridges, sluices and office buildings. He not only hired first-class construction workers, but also supervised the progress and checked the quality on the construction site all day.
Although some proofreaders often go to the construction site to make trouble and make money, Shen Wansan finished the wall built by the royal family three days ahead of schedule, but this only refuted the emperor's face.
Then, he unexpectedly proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang that he planned to use his own two million gold instead of the emperor to reward the three armed forces, which finally made Ming Taizu feel very angry.
So Shen Wansan was confiscated and sent to Shen Chongjun on the Yunnan border. Wan San spent the last few years of his life in the border area of Yunnan, studied in Fuquan Mountain with Zhang Sanfeng on 1392, died in Pingyao, and was buried in Fuquan Mountain after Shen Wansan died on 1393.
Extended data:
After Shen Wansan became a super-rich, he took Suzhou as an important business stronghold. He not only devoted himself to making money, but also used it to cling to power. However, what he is obsessed with is not only the history of local officials, but also the history of the supreme ruler.
At that time, it was the war at the end of the yuan dynasty, and heroes fought for the sky. At first, Shen Wansan supported Zhou regime in Zhang Shicheng, Pingjiang. At that time, Zhang Shicheng was able to stay in Suzhou for eight months because of the financial support of Suzhou tycoons.
As the richest man, Shen Wansan naturally contributes the most. So Zhang Shicheng later erected a monument for him. In the sixth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Suzhou. After the city was broken, Zhu Yuanzhang hated the rich and even ordinary people in Suzhou and took a series of retaliatory measures.
Clever Shen Wansan turned to Zhu Yuanzhang for peace. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to build Nanjing, and Shen Wansan helped to build a third of the capital. There are thirteen gates in Jinling, and the south gate is called Jubaomen, which was built by Shen Wansan.
In addition, he also paid tribute to Longjiao, and presented 2000 ingots of platinum, 200 Jin of gold, and charger 10 horse, etc. Zhu Yuanzhang sealed two sons for this purpose.
Shen Wansan also built 1654 corridors and 4 restaurants in Nanjing. At the request of Zhu Yuanzhang, he moved the main place of business activities from Suzhou to Nanjing.
It is said that Liquor Square, Caodui Lane, Youfang Lane and other places are the backyards of Shenyang's house. Although Shen Wansan had many enemies in the Ming Dynasty, it declined rapidly after being hit by the imperial power.
