The recent hit "Daming Style" has made many melon-eating masses relish, there are soup only ugly hairstyles, there are also laughs that are not rigorous, but the most topical is Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance in the play, full of shoehorn face. Is the real Zhu Yuanzhang in history really a shoehorn face? After reading this article you will know!
The appearance of Zhu Yuanzhang, the grandfather of the Ming Dynasty, has always been criticized by many people in history, and no one's appearance has ever been able to cause such a big discussion as Zhu Yuanzhang. At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance is also artificially divided into two completely different appearances: one is the so-called imperial appearance of Ji Yu Xuan Ang, and the other is the ugly and even beyond the scope of human physiology. Both of these appearances have corresponding portraits and historical records, and each has its own supporters. Which statement is true?
Regarding what Zhu Yuanzhang looked like in history, in addition to the people at that time, it is estimated that later people have not seen it, because there is no camera and video shooting equipment, it is completely dependent on the painter's painting, and over time, Zhu Yuanzhang's true appearance is no one knows. Although there is no detailed record of Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance in historical materials, there are also some general descriptions, that is, "different from ordinary people", from this point of view, it should not be a beautiful man. According to legend, many painters were killed when they painted Zhu Yuanzhang's portraits, probably because the paintings were too real, and some people were more handsome and did not get killed. This may also be an important reason for the diversification of Zhu Yuanzhang's circulating portraits.
After the Mongols established the Yuan Dynasty, in the selection of officials, it was still ""book words and personal judgments", that is, to judge people by appearance. If it is really strange and ugly, it will not be favored by Guo Zixing, and even give his daughter Xu to Zhu Yuanzhang. From this point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance is not ugly, but it is impossible to say that he is handsome, that is, an ordinary public face.
But this oral history has changed its flavor as it has passed. When the Qing Dynasty people wrote the "History of Ming", the history of Zhu Yuanzhang's military career became "seeing the appearance of the above is strange and different from ordinary people", saying that Zhu Yuanzhang is compared with ordinary people, and his appearance is particularly peculiar, which directly changes the reason why he has been reused into appearance, rather than the original behavior and conversation. In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang's self-description became the original "base" of his strange appearance.
