Wang Ao's Poems

It is recorded in ancient books: "Fuxi is a snake with a head (I explain: like Nu Wa); Shennong is a bull's head; Hou Ji's face looks like a branch. Hao Tao's skin color is like a peeled melon. Yi Yin's face doesn't need elk. He doesn't look like a beard, just like Chairman Mao. He said his body looks like a fin plant.

There are also records about the faces of emperors such as the Five Emperors. It is said that Huang Di was born to talk and looks like a dragon, so he has this virtue. You can refer to my previous article "The Worship of Ghosts and Gods and the Evolution of Mysterious Culture in China". Said Zhuan Xu emperor wear battle clothes first. It means to have a birthmark like war on your head. It is said that Gaoxin's younger brother has long maxillary teeth, that is, pairs of teeth. Yao Di has eight long eyebrows and a round face. It is said that Shun Di has a face like a dragon and a big mouth. He is a heavy pupil (I will introduce the heavy pupil later). It is said that Dayu's ears are like ginseng, and his chest is like an ancient bucket and a jade bucket. It is said that Cheng Tang, the founding emperor of Shang Dynasty, had four elbows in his arms, fair skin and a beard. Said Zhou Wenwang had four nipples. I think we may have explained this question well now. Zhou Wuwang has parallel teeth, just like sheep.

In historical records, we have seen more records about physiognomy. For example, Fan Li told the literary genre that Gou Jian, the King of Yue, had a long neck and a sharp mouth like a bird's mouth, and commented that such people could only suffer with him, but not with him. Better leave as soon as possible. Another example: unifying the appearance of Qin Shihuang in China, saying that Evonne was pregnant for a whole anniversary and gave birth to a son. When giving birth, the room is full of red light, birds are flying, and the baby is born with long eyes, square forehead, heavy eyebrows, a few teeth in his mouth, and Long Lin on his back, crying loudly and smelling it in the market! Later, Wei Liaozi, a strange man in China's military circles, had great doubts when he helped Qin Shihuang unify China. He once commented on disciple Wang Ao's impression of Qin Shihuang's victory in politics and said, "I have carefully observed the personality of the king of Qin, rich, accurate and far-sighted. He is a stork." If we look at what Qin Shihuang did behind him, it really fulfilled Wei Liaozi's prediction.

The most detailed and interesting records are about the faces of Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, and his wife Lv Hou. I think of Liu Bang's mother resting in peace by the osawa River, dreaming of communicating with God. At that time, the sky was dark, with lightning and thunder. Liu Bang's father came to inspect and saw a dragon lying on Liu Bang's mother. Soon Liu Bang's mother got pregnant and gave birth to Liu Bang. This story may have the meaning of fabrication, because after all, the parties are only Liu Bang's father and mother.

But Liu Bang's own appearance is legendary. According to historical records, Lius Pongoh has a nose bridge, a long face like a dragon, a beautiful beard and 72 moles on his left leg. He is kind and caring, likes to give alms to others, and has an open mind. He said he was drinking at the hotel. Whenever he is drunk, the owner and proprietress of the hotel see a dragon on him. They think it's strange. Every time Liu Bang came to buy wine, they sold it to him at a price several times higher. After seeing the strange phenomenon of Liu Bang's drunkenness, the hotel often broke bamboo slips on credit, and by the end of the year, Liu Bang's drinks were cut off. Lv Hou's father Lv Gong likes to look at people's faces. When he saw Liu Bang, he was very surprised and respected him and married his daughter to him. On another occasion, two children of Lv Hou and Liu Bang were weeding in the field, and an old father came to beg for water on the field road. Lv Hou also gave him some food by the way. After carefully examining Lv Hou's appearance, the old father said, "Madam is a noble person in the world." Lv Hou immediately asked him to meet his two children. The old father looked at Liu Bang's son (I explained: later Han Xiaodi) and said, "It is because of this boy that my wife can become a noble person." I also visited my daughter's fortune teller (later Princess Yuan Lu, I explained), who were also distinguished guests. After his father left, Lv Hou told Liu Bang what happened just now, saying, "Just now, an old man told us fortune-telling, saying that our mother and son are dignitaries. After Liu Bang asked him where he was going, he hurried after his father. After catching up, I asked my father's face. The old father said, "The wife and children I just saw are very similar to your face. Your appearance is too noble to be expressed in words. " Liu Bang said gratefully, "That's true, I will forget you in the future. "But when Liu Bang became emperor, he looked for this old father, but he couldn't find it anymore.

Xiang Yu, the overlord, is a heavy pupil. Sean's appearance seems to be a beauty, as well as Chen Ping and Wei Qing's appearance. , are well documented.
