If I were to select the four most beautiful men in history, I would personally give the list as follows, in order of life time, Song Yu, Pan An, Nalan Rongruo, and Zhou Enlai. No explanation.
If we choose the four most beautiful men in ancient times, I personally agree with Pan An, Gao Changgong, Song Yu and Dugu Xin, which seems more fair. Pan is from the Western Jin Dynasty and is the king of Lanling. Gao Changgong was from the Northern Qi Dynasty, Song Yu was from the Warring States Period, and Duguxin was from the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It is unreasonable that Ji Kang, Pan An, and Wei Jie are all Jin people. Pan An, Song Yu and King Lanling are relatively familiar to everyone, so I will focus on introducing Dugu Xin.
Let us use the warmest applause and the highest decibel to welcome Dugu Xin, the great Sima of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the general of the Zhu Kingdom, whose real name is Dugu Ruyuan. How handsome is he? Dugu Xin once hunted in Tianshui, Gansu Province. He played with hounds casually, galloping horses and his hat was loose and a little crooked. When everyone found out, they all cheered, wow, the general is so handsome! So everyone in the city wore crooked hats. After the woman saw it, she couldn't help it anymore, Dugu, I want to give birth to a child for you!
However, the most handsome General Dugu only had children with his wife and concubines. There were seven sons and eight daughters in one family, among whom the eldest daughter, the fourth daughter, and the seventh daughter all became queens. The eldest daughter married Emperor Shizong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenyu, and became Queen Mingjing. The fourth daughter married Li Yuan's father, Duke Guogong of Tang Dynasty and Li Bing, the general of Zhu State. After Li Yuan ascended the throne, he succeeded his father as Emperor Shizu Yuan and his mother Gu Shi as Empress Yuan Zhen. Dugu Jialuo, the seventh daughter, is the most famous. She is Yang Jian's literature queen and the biological mother of Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang.
Tell me what you think?
The four most beautiful men in ancient times are generally considered to be Pan An, Song Yu, King Lanling and Wei Jie.
Needless to say, Pan An is synonymous with beautiful men. Regardless of ancient or modern times, people like to use Cao Zhi to describe a person's talent, and Pan An to describe a person's handsomeness. This shows the high degree of recognition.
Pan An is from the Jin Dynasty. He is very handsome and talented. The protagonist of the idiom "Throwing Fruit into the Wagon". Pan An is a handsome boy, a talented man and a good husband. However, his political style is not very good. He relied on the famous poisonous woman Jia Nanfeng to eliminate dissidents from forming cliques for personal gain, and created a mess in the Western Jin Dynasty. Jia Nanfeng has always been promiscuous, and with Pan An's appearance, it is estimated that he will not be able to escape the clutches of the devil.
Another one is Song Yu, a native of Chu during the Warring States Period. Song Yu is also a talented and good-looking person. He invented a word: Dengtuzi, which became synonymous with lecherous people. Dengtuzi is a talented and upright minister, similar to Bao Zheng. Just because he advised the King of Chu to keep Song Yu away from the Queen of Chu's harem, Song Yu was accused of being a lecherous disciple. To sum up, a lustful person does not think his wife is ugly, and a disciple's wife is extremely ugly, and the disciple is very ugly. Doting on the ugly wife, conclusion: the deceiver is lustful. Pity that a good man has since become synonymous with dissolute children, and his injustice is comparable to that of Wu Dalang.
Prince Lanling, a member of the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and a cousin of Gao Wei, the empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Rumor has it that Prince Lanling was extremely graceful and had a look that suited both men and women. Too beautiful to be true, too beautiful to be intimidating. Because he is a military commander, he always wears a mask to fight, and he has the talents of a general. Unfortunately, he was jealous of the Empress Qi and gave him poisonous wine and died. The song of King Lanling entering the battle is used to praise Gao Changgong's bravery. In this regard, the Japanese prefer King Lanling.
The other one is Wei Jie. Wei Jie, a native of the Jin Dynasty, was also a handsome man and talented man with a noble birth. It's a pity that he was in poor health. Because his appearance was too good, he always attracted a large number of men, women and children to watch when he went out. He was too frightened and finally died of a serious illness. He died young and left an idiom to watch Wei Jie's death. People gossip.
Of course, there were many handsome celebrities in ancient times, such as Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the son of the plane. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty records that he was a handsome guy. For example, Zou Ji in the famous Zou Ji satirizes the King of Qi to accept admonishment. This is the same description. Among the handsome men in Zanli, Xu Gong in the north of the city was also a handsome man. Cui Yan, a famous scholar from Hebei Province in the Three Kingdoms, was also a handsome man and a talented man. Cao Cao once deliberately asked him to meet the Huns envoys on his behalf, and both left good talks. Another one is Murong Chong of Xiyan, who is known as the most beautiful emperor in history. Because of his handsome appearance, Murong Chong was admitted into the harem together with his sister by the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian.
In ancient times, handsome men were mostly those with outstanding talents or outstanding military exploits.
As for ugly men in ancient times, official history does not record these. In ancient times, men were judged based on their talent, ability and moral character, and little attention was paid to appearance, unless the man had outstanding looks (the icing on the cake). The same is true for women. Generally, only beautiful women are recorded, while ugly women are mostly not recorded. Most of the famous ugly women are the wives of great virtues and wise men. Feng Chu Pang Tong in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, even a tolerant person like Liu Bei couldn't stand it, which shows how ugly he is. The Three Kingdoms does not describe Pang Tong's appearance.
The questioner asked two questions, and Yue Shijun will answer them one by one.
Let’s talk about the four beauties first.
Although there was no photography technology or professional evaluation in ancient times, the list of the four most beautiful men still appeared, but it was not just one list.
The first and most common list: Pan An, Gao Changgong, King of Lanling in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Song Yu, and Wei Jie.
The second list: Pan An, Northern Qi Lanling King Gao Changgong, Ji Kang, and Wei Jie.
Have you seen it? In the two lists, Pan An, Northern Qi Lanling King Gao Changgong, and Wei Jie remained unchanged, while only Song Yu and Ji Kang appeared alternately.
Then, Yue Shijun will briefly introduce the five of them one by one.
First, Pan An.
When talking about Pan An, many people will think of the word "Looking better than Pan An", which is used to describe handsome men. Pan An has become the "spokesperson" for beautiful men, which shows that his appearance has been recognized.
So, what kind of person is Pan An?
Pan An was a famous writer in the Western Jin Dynasty. Although there are no detailed records of Pan An's facial features, height, etc. in the history books, he said three words "beauty, posture, and grace", which means that he has a handsome appearance and a superb temperament. .
Pan An had many suitors in the Western Jin Dynasty, so that every time he went out to play, a large number of girls would chase him, offering flowers and fruits. Pan An always returned home with a full load. This is the origin of the allusion of "throwing fruit into the car".
But just like that, Pan An was very infatuated with his wife. There was no scandal when his wife was alive. After his wife passed away, he wrote three "Mourning Poems".
But Pan An's life was a tragedy. He was not reused in his early years. Later, he took refuge with Queen Jia Nanfeng and participated in Queen Jia's conspiracy to depose the prince. As a result, after the Eight Kings Rebellion, King Zhao Sima Lun succeeded in seizing power and immediately captured Pan An and annihilated his three clans.
How sad!
Second, Gao Changgong, King of Lanling in the Northern Qi Dynasty
Gao Changgong is a handsome man who has left endless reveries to future generations, because he is the God of War in the Northern Qi Dynasty and wears a mask every time he goes to the battlefield.
Gao Changgong was born into the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He was the fourth son of Gao Cheng, Emperor Wenxiang of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and was given the title of King Lanling.
Gao Changgong spent half his life in the military and made great achievements in battle, but it brought him bad luck.
Gao Wei, the empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty, was suspicious of Gao Changgong. Gao Changgong panicked, so he tried to save his life by accepting bribes and resigning due to illness.
In May of the fourth year of Wuping in the Northern Qi Dynasty (AD 573), Gao Wei, the empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty, sent an envoy to deliver a glass of poisonous wine. Gao Changgong was extremely sad and angry, and left a sentence: "How can the beauty of the sky be seen?" and drank the poisonous wine. And die.
What a pity!
Third, Wei Jie.
Wei Jie was a famous talker and metaphysician in the Jin Dynasty. He was born into a noble family. His grandfather Wei Guan rose to the rank of Taiwei, and his father Wei Hengguan rose to the rank of Shangshu Lang.
When Wei Jie was a child, people at the time valued him and thought he was a beauty. His uncle, the Cavalry General Wang Ji, was very handsome, but when he was with Wei Jie, he felt that he was ugly.
When Wei Jie came to Jianye (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), people there crowded into a wall to see his grace. As a result, Wei Jie fell ill from overwork and died at the age of 27.
This also left an idiom, "Look at the killing of Wei Jie". This beauty is really amazing!
Fourth, Song Yu.
Song Yu was a famous poet and poet in Chu State during the Warring States Period. Together with Qu Yuan, he was known as "Qu Song".
Earlier we said "more beautiful than Pan An". In fact, there is another word to describe a handsome man, which is "as beautiful as Song Yu".
Song Yu’s beauty has been passed down for thousands of years, but he didn’t even leave a portrait, which has long been an eternal mystery.
However, in "Ode to the Lustful Dengtuzi", we can still get an idea of ??Song Yu's beauty with "leisurely and graceful appearance".
Song Yu was talented and handsome, but his official career had not been smooth. Although he worked as a literary attendant for the King of Chu for a while, he finally had to leave the court and return to his hometown.
Fifth, Ji Kang.
Ji Kang was a famous writer in the Cao Wei Dynasty. He was married to the great-granddaughter of Cao Cao, the owner of Changle Pavilion, and was the spiritual leader of the "Seven Sages in the Bamboo Forest".
There are many records about Ji Kang’s beauty.
"Ji Kang Biography" in the Book of Jin writes: "Kang Zaogu was a man of extraordinary talent and extraordinary talent. He was seven feet and eight inches tall, with beautiful words and demeanor. Since he was decorated with algae, people think he has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and his nature is natural. In "Shishuoxinyu", Ji Kang has this image: "Ji Kang is seven feet and eight inches tall and has a very graceful appearance." The person who saw it sighed and said: "The breeze is so solemn and clear," or he said: "It's as solemn as the wind under the pines, high and slow." The monk said: "Uncle Ji is a man at night, and he is drunk." Eruo Yushan is about to collapse. '"
In fact, the highest evaluation is in "Jin Shu Biography No. 19": "Kang tried to collect medicines and traveled around the mountains and rivers, but he suddenly forgot about it. A woodcutter met him and said he was a god.
Did you see it? We often talk about male gods now. People here simply say that Ji Kang is a "god", but this is certified by the state!
Ji Kang's special identity made his life a tragedy. After the Sima family took over the power, Ji Kang lived in seclusion and became an official. Later, he was executed by Sima Zhao at the age of 40 for offending Zhong Hui.
Now that we’ve seen enough beautiful men, let’s talk about the second question: the four ugly men.
We Chinese people pay attention to confrontation. If there are four beautiful men, there will naturally be four ugly men, and these four are Yan Ying, Zuo Si, Bao Zheng, and Liu Yong.
Well, Yue Shijun will give a brief introduction one by one.
First, Yan Ying
Yan Ying was a politician as famous as Guan Zhong during the Spring and Autumn Period, and was respectfully called Yan Zi.
Yan Ying served as the chief minister of Qi for nearly fifty years. He served as an official in Qi Linggong, Qi Zhuanggong, and Qi Jinggong in three dynasties, working hard for the prosperity of Qi.
There is no clear historical record of Yan Ying's ugliness, but in "Yan Zi Envoys to Chu", the King of Chu used side tricks to humiliate Yan Ying, implying that he was very short.
Second, Zuo Si
Zuo Si is a famous writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, talented, and the uncle of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Western Jin Dynasty.
However, in the records of "Shishuo Xinyu", Zuo Si was really unbearable: "Zuo Taichong was absolutely ugly, and he also had the effect of Yue Youyou, so the women all spat at him and were exhausted. And return."
What does this mean?
That is to say, Zuo Sisi imitated the handsome man Pan An when traveling, but because he was too ugly, he was spurned by a group of old women and had to return depressed.
But Zuo Si was indeed talented. A piece of "Ode to the Three Capitals" was widely circulated in the capital city of Luoyang, hence the idiom "Luoyang paper is expensive".
Third, Bao Zheng
Bao Zheng was a famous upright official in the Northern Song Dynasty. He served as deputy envoy to the privy council, equivalent to deputy prime minister.
In December of the first year of Jiayou in the Northern Song Dynasty (1056), the imperial court appointed Bao Zhengquanzhi of Kaifeng Mansion. Although he only served for more than a year, he dared to punish the wrongdoings of the powerful and resolutely suppressed Kaifeng. The arrogance of government officials can be punished promptly. Because of the remarkable results, children, women and children all know the name of Bao Zheng and call him "Bao Tezao". There is even a saying that "if the joints are not connected, there is Yama and Bao Lao."
Why is Bao Lao called "Bao Lao"? What about ugly? It's probably black plus moon scar.
Fourth, Liu Yong
Liu Yong was a famous politician in the Qing Dynasty. He was a scholar of Dongge University and the crown prince's Taibao. He was also a famous calligrapher and poet.
In history, Liu Yong was a serious official, and did not have as many branches as the powerful minister He Shen in the TV series.
And Liu Yong’s ugliness probably comes from the TV series "Liu Luoguo", and there is no record in the history books.
Therefore, the beautiful man is really beautiful, and the ugly one only has pity for the eternal genius Zuo Si.
Personally, I think Lanling King Gao Changgong is one of them. Because he looks handsome, he can only show others with a mask on the battlefield.
Gao Changgong (541-573), also known as Gao Xiaoguan and Gao Su, was originally from Bohai Diaogui (now Jingxian County, Hebei Province). He was the grandson of Emperor Shenwu Gao Huan and the fourth son of Emperor Wenxiang Gao Cheng. , whose biological mother is unknown, was a clan member and general of the Northern Qi Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and was titled King Lanling. He has a tall, respectful appearance, a gentle heart, and a beautiful voice and appearance. He works diligently and meticulously for the generals. Every time he gets something sweet, he will share it with the soldiers, and he has been promoted to the governor of Bingzhou many times. In the Battle of Mangshan, Gao Changgong was in the middle of the army and led 500 cavalry into the encirclement of the Zhou army until they arrived at the gate of Jin Yong City, successfully relieving Jin Yong. This battle greatly enhanced his reputation, and the soldiers celebrated him with songs. It became the later famous "Lanling King Entering the Battle Song". Gao Changgong successively served as Shangshu Ling, Lu Shangshu Shi, Da Sima, Taibao, Taiwei, etc., and he and Duan Shao conquered Baigu and Dingyang. When Duan Shao fell ill, Gao Changgong took command of his troops and was awarded the titles of Julu, Changle, Changle, etc. for their military exploits. Leping, Gao Yang, etc. later incurred the hatred of Gao Wei, the later master of the Northern Qi Dynasty, because of "state affairs are family affairs". They were killed by Gao Wei in the fourth year of Wuping (573). After their death, the court posthumously awarded them the title of Taiwei, with the posthumous title of Wu.
Pan An should also be counted as one. Many people probably know Pan An because of the Huangmei Opera "The Consort". Pan An was a Western Jin Dynasty writer and a handsome man in ancient China. The Western Jin Dynasty writer was "He Yi". Known as "Yang County Flower", he is one of the few beautiful men who use flowers to describe his appearance. He is the first of the ten most beautiful men in ancient China. Relevant idioms and allusions include "throwing fruit into the car", "a county flower in Heyang", "Jingu Junyou", "resigning from office to serve his mother", "Pan Yang's good", "connecting the wall with the vines", etc. Pan An, a flower boy, is tall and fair, and his flower-like handsome and delicate facial features have greatly influenced the Chinese people's aesthetics of men, and it has become a standard that has been established for thousands of years. Pan An became a synonym for handsome boys and formed a cultural symbol. Together with Shi Chong, Lu Ji, Liu Kun and Zuo Si, he was one of the "Twenty-Four Friends of Jia Mi". Yue was the leader. Zhao Wanglun usurped the throne, Sun Xiu took over the dictatorship, and the three Yi tribes were killed.
Who are the four most beautiful men and the four most ugly men in Chinese history?
Chinese people have a certain obsession with beauty. Beauty must be so beautiful that it must be completely beautiful and transparent. No flaws can be called beautiful.
Therefore, for handsome men in ancient times, handsome appearance was only the basic score, and there were also certain additional conditions, such as literary talent and moral integrity.
The four most beautiful men in ancient times are commonly known as Pan An, King Lanling, Song Yu, and Wei Jie.
Pan An: Pan An's beauty can even go down in history. History books use "beauty, posture, and grace" to evaluate Pan An. Even harsh history books describe Pan An in this way. It can be seen that Pan An's appearance is beautiful.
Moreover, beauty can also bring many unexpected benefits, which is where the allusion of throwing a fruit-filled car comes from. It is said that every time Pan An goes out, there will be a large number of girls around, some offering flowers and some offering fruits. Every time Pan An comes home, a whole cart can be filled with fruits and flowers.
Pan An was not only beautiful, he was also the first person to write mourning poems (written in memory of his wife), setting the precedent for writing mourning poems for his wife:
"Poems of Mourning" < /p>
Winter and spring pass quickly, and the cold and heat suddenly change.
The son returned to Qiongquan, and the heavy soil will forever separate him.
Whoever can restrain his selfish ambitions will be of no use if he stays in floods.
He Mian respectfully obeyed the imperial orders and returned to his first battle.
Looking at the house, I think about the person, and entering the house, I think about what I have experienced.
There is no beauty in the curtain screen, but there are traces of calligraphy and ink.
The fragrance has not stopped yet, but it is still hanging on the wall.
The feeling of sadness may exist, and the feeling of panic and alarm may exist.
Just like the Hanlin bird, it only has two buds per day.
Like a fish swimming in Sichuan, it is like analyzing the road in the middle of the eye.
The spring breeze comes through the gap, and the morning breeze slips through the eaves.
When do you forget to sleep, your worries accumulate day by day.
The common people are sometimes weak, but Zhuang Fou is particularly vulnerable.
The poem is written with sincerity. After the death of his wife, he found that the breath of life left by his wife was everywhere.
Moreover, this poem is a model of showing affection but not politeness. When his wife passed away, Pan An didn’t write in the poem Oh, why did you leave before me? Teach me how to live alone. Living alone? Then the paper is filled with blood and tears. Pan An's writing style is "There is no beauty on the screen, but there are traces of calligraphy." He uses objective objects to express the author's subjective mentality, which makes people feel like being stabbed in the heart with a gentle knife.
Pan An was involved in the Prince's Rebellion and was sentenced to annihilation of three tribes.
King Lanling: King Lanling is the only masculine man among these four beauties. The other three all have certain literary qualities and are feminine. , but King Lanling is different. He is the only one who can go to the battlefield. King Lanling is the God of War of Northern Qi. Dare to lead five hundred people into the Zhou army's camp, kill them all, and then come back. There is a legend that because King Lanling's appearance was not enough to intimidate the enemy, he covered his face with a mask every time he went to the battlefield (this legend may be related to Di Qing, who wore a bronze mask every time he fought) Mixed), but there is no historical evidence to support the theory that King Lanling wore a mask.
King Lanling made great achievements in battle, but he was suspected by his master. Gao Wei suspected that King Lanling had rebellious intentions. King Lanling first pretended to love money and accepted bribes, and then claimed that he was ill and could not go to court, but he got But it was a cup of poisonous wine given by Gao Wei.
King Lanling knew clearly that it was poisonous wine, "I am loyal to my duty, why should I betray God and be punished by a dove!", yet he drank it all in one gulp and committed suicide to clarify his ambition.
Song Yu: Song Yu's literary talents are beyond words. He is as famous as Qu Yuan and is known as Qu Song in the world. Song Yu is the most complete collection of Chu Ci after Qu Yuan. Therefore, this additional question of literary talent does not exist in front of Song Yu.
There are few descriptions of Song Yu’s appearance in history books, but we can get a glimpse of it from Song Yu’s obscenity. Song Yu said that a beautiful woman had been watching him for three years, and he could still guarantee that she would not fall in love with him. Tempting, what does this beauty look like?
It is such a beauty that Song Yu has not been attracted by Song Yu for three years. However, Song Yu’s appearance can make such a beauty insist on looking at her for three years outside the wall. It can be seen that Song Yu is not only good-looking, but also durable. .
Song Yu's fate was that he was not good at being an official and lived in the countryside.
Wei Jie: Wei Jie is a representative of the feminine sect. He has been frail and sick since he was a child. He also likes to talk about metaphysics with others. It can be said that he is gorgeous on the outside but contains poetry on the inside.
When Wei Jie returned to Jianye (Nanjing), people all over the city heard that Wei Jie was coming, so the young girls gathered in rows, and they were so crowded that they were already weak. Wei Jie, who was also tired of driving and riding horses, was beaten to death under this heavy siege. He was only 27 years old when he died.
The four handsome men are easy to choose, but the four ugly men are really difficult to decide. From the perspective of the harm to the country and the people, Tong Guan, Cai Jing, Pan Mei, and Qin Yi are all included in this list. If we just talk about the appearance, it is really difficult to determine. They are probably selected from some refugees and bandits, which are not included in the history books.
These four handsome men are all tragic characters.
In fact, everyone has their own opinions on the four beauties. The four beauties in my mind are Mozi, Qu Yuan, Li Bai and Xin Qiji.
Mozi: Three parts of chivalry, three parts of emotion, three parts of literary talent, and one part of his heart to help the world.
Qu Yuan: The poems are gorgeous, the situation is desolate, and all those who have been frustrated throughout the ages sigh together.
Li Bai: When an immortal comes into the world, he becomes half of the prosperous Tang Dynasty with his beautiful words.
Xin Qiji: There is a heroic spirit of reading a sword while drunk, but also a life-filled lyric that likes scoundrels like children the most, lying at the head of the stream peeling off lotus pods.
October 11, 2017
There are beautiful men and ugly men in every era, with different standards and different perceptions. Some people regard ugliness as beauty, and some people regard beauty as ugliness. Some people regard appearance and coquettishness as beauty; some people regard talent and character as standards; different perspectives, everyone takes what they like. I think: Those with outstanding talents, excellent character, and patriotism can be called beautiful men; those who betray the motherland, betray their ancestors, have dirty hearts, and do dirty things are called ugly men. With this standard, netizens can follow the pictures to find out where they are.

(Beauty and ugliness are relative, not absolute. Beauty and ugliness are just a person’s appearance and cannot be used to make a final conclusion about a person.)
These beautiful men all have the same characteristics. : Possessing both talent and appearance, or having extremely high accomplishments in literature and music, or being powerful in China with their martial arts and martial arts skills.

Four. Wei Jie
It is said that when Wei Jie was young, he rode a sheep cart to the market. Everyone who saw him thought he was a beauty, and people went to watch him. General Wang Ji is Wei Jie's uncle. He is handsome, forthright and graceful. Every time he sees Wei Jie, he sighs and says that he feels ugly when he is surrounded by pearls and jade. He once told others that traveling with Wei Jie was like having bright beads beside him, shining brightly.
The Four Ugly Men in Chinese History
1. Yan Ying
Later generations also called him Yan Pingzhong, or respectfully called him Yan Zi. A Yiwei native of Qi State, he was a statesman and an outstanding diplomat as famous as Guan Zhong in the Spring and Autumn Period. The story of "Yan Zi's mission to Chu" has been passed down as a good story in the history of diplomacy.
2. Zuo Si
Writer of the Western Jin Dynasty. The words are too strong. A native of Linzi (now Zibo, Shandong). According to "Shishuo Xinyu", Zuo Si was ugly in appearance and dull in speech. "Shishuo Xinyu" describes Zuo Si: "Zuo Taichong was extremely ugly, and he also replicated Yue You'ao, so all the women spit on him and returned exhausted." Although Zuo Si was ugly, he was extremely talented.
Three. Bao Zheng
Bao Zheng is from Luzhou and Hefei (Hefei, Anhui Province). Bao Zheng enforces the law strictly in Kaifeng Prefecture, is selfless and dares to confront the toughest people. Bao Zheng’s name is well known to women and children, and they affectionately call him "Bao Tezai" ". There is a saying widely circulated in Kaifeng Mansion: "If the joints are not connected, there is Yama and Bao Lao." Yama is used as a metaphor for Bao Zheng's selflessness.
Liu Yong
Liu Yong's courtesy name was Chongru, his name was Shi'an, and he lived in various cities in Shandong. Liu Yong was not only a famous politician during the Qianjia period of the Qing Dynasty, but also a famous calligrapher and poet. His calligraphy was rich in appearance, rich in taste, transcendent and unique, and became famous all over the world.
Although Yan Ying, Zuo Si, Bao Zheng, and Liu Yong are known as the four ugly men in ancient Chinese history, they are also historical celebrities with talents and outstanding achievements.
The four most beautiful men are Wang Zhaoming, Yu Peilun, Zhou Enlai and Gu Weijun. The four beauties in Chinese history generally refer to: Pan An, Song Yu, King Lanling, and Wei Jie.
1. Pan An
Pan An is famous as the first of the four most beautiful men in ancient times. He was born in a Confucian family in 247 AD and was a writer and politician in the Western Jin Dynasty.
The reason Pan An ranks first among the four most beautiful men is not only because he has unique beauty in the world, but also because he has outstanding temperament, is good at writing poetry, and is also involved in politics.
When Pan An was young, he traveled to Shandong, Henan, and Hebei with his father, and became an official at the age of 20.
Regarding Pan An's beauty, there is an idiom that exists specifically because of him, and that is "throwing fruit into the car".
When he was young, Pan An was driving on the road. Because of his good looks and elegant demeanor, the old, young, women and children on the street were attracted to him and were fascinated by him.
People who liked Pan An threw the fruits in their hands into Pan An's car. Pan An walked all the way, and the car was filled with fruits thrown to him by his admirers.
Another article about Pan An's beauty said that when Pan An was the magistrate of Heyang County when he was young, because the local geographical environment was suitable for growing peach blossoms, Pan An had people plant peach blossoms all over the county.
The local people particularly liked Pan An's move, and later called him "the flower of Heyang County".
This title not only shows that Pan An looks as beautiful as a peach blossom, but also shows that Pan An is good at managing local affairs.
2. Song Yu
Song Yu was born around 298 BC. He was a scholar-bureaucrat in Chu State and studied under Qu Yuan.
In addition to being famous for his beauty, Song Yu also has very good attainments in poetry and poetry. His works include "Nine Bian", "Calling the Soul", "Feng Fu", "Gaotang Fu", "Deng Tu" "Zi Luo Lu Fu" and so on are widely circulated and are still considered masterpieces to this day.
In addition to his beauty and talent in poetry, Song Yu also had a very high emotional intelligence. He had his own opinions and never agreed with opinions that he did not agree with. For this reason, many people came to the King of Chu. Go talk bad about him.
The King of Chu called Song Yu to him and asked him if he thought he had done anything wrong. Otherwise, why would so many people dislike him?
Song Yu gave an example to defend himself. He said that there was a singer singing in the city. When he sang the two popular songs "Xia Li" and "Ba Ren", many people would Sing along.
And when he sang the elegant and difficult-to-understand songs "Yangchun" and "White Snow", fewer people agreed.
Song Yu said that he is a person with great ambitions, and it is normal that his ideas and opinions are not recognized by most people. After hearing Song Yu's words, the King of Chu stopped embarrassing him.
Because of Song Yu’s words, the two idioms “Xiaoliba people” and “Yangchunbaixue” appeared later, and these two idioms describe popular and elegant things respectively.
In 222 BC, the Chu Kingdom fell and Song Yu also died in the same year. Although the man has passed away, his beauty and talents have endured in the long river of history and have been passed down by the world.
3. Lanling King Gao Changgong
One of the four most beautiful men in ancient China, Lanling King Gao Changgong, whose real name is Gao Su, was born in 541 AD. Because of his ability in warfare, he was given the title of King Lanling.
Gao Changgong has a gentle appearance, a kind heart, and a particularly pleasant voice. Because he is particularly powerful in fighting, he has become a being like the God of War, respected and liked by the world.
After Gao Yin of the Northern Qi Dynasty succeeded to the throne, Gao Changgong was named King of Lanling in 560 AD. After the Qianming Revolution, the emperor's uncle Gao Yan ascended the throne, and Gao Changgong was further reused.
After Gao Changgong was re-employed, he went out to fight all year round, and his good looks became a drag. It is said that every time he led troops into battle, he had to wear a hideous mask to increase his momentum.
And because his own appearance is so good-looking, it has no deterrent effect on the enemy.
Gao Changgong had high military achievements. He participated in many battles between the late Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, repelling the attacks of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and became famous.

Such a perfect Gao Changgong did not end well. After his military success increased day by day, in the fourth year of Wuping (573), he was feared by the then emperor Gao Wei, the empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Finally, he was awarded the title of A glass of poisonous wine, he died at the age of 33.
4. Wei Jie
Wei Jie was born in 286 AD and was a metaphysician of the Jin Dynasty.
When Wei Jie was young, he was very good-looking. His uncle Wang Ji, although he had outstanding demeanor and appearance, felt that he was very ugly every time he was with Wei Jie.
When Wei Jie went out on the street, everyone who saw him thought he looked like a beautiful woman. They were attracted by his appearance and went to see him one after another.
As one of the four most beautiful men in ancient times, Wei Jie was much weaker than the other three. He was frail and sick when he grew up. Although he liked metaphysics and discussed metaphysics with others, his mother Wang was worried about his health. His body doesn't let him talk much.
