A portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang was found in Henan, and the old man claimed to have been ancestral for 600 years and was now voluntarily handed over to the state

As we all know, in China's thousands of years of history, the change of dynasties has been the rise of one dynasty, the collapse of another dynasty, and the division and integration has always been the trend of the times for thousands of years. And when a dynasty collapses, the most embarrassing thing is the royal family and nobles who did not die in the war, after all, there is such a sentence: cutting the grass must be rooted. Although the remaining royal family has become weaker and weaker the bloodline, as long as it encounters the opportunity to restore, no one cares so much, just like Uncle Liu Huang at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who has long been a distant relative, but there are still countless people who are willing to follow behind and restore the Han Room together.

In order to avoid such a situation, the newly appointed ruler would exterminate the remaining royal family members. According to relevant historical documents, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the personnel of the Zhu royal family had already grown to more than 100,000, which could be regarded as an extremely large family. After the Qing army destroyed the Ming Dynasty, it was also natural to start massacring the Zhu royal family. But after all, at that time, the number of its royal family was too large, and there was no way to kill them all, so some people survived and began to change their appearance and go to live in various regions of the country.

Some of these survivors escaped to a small village in Henan, where about 200 people were involved. After they arrived in this place, they took root here and lived in anonymity, where they multiplied for generations to this day. Therefore, the former surname could not continue to be used, so they changed their name to Wang, all because they were all princes before this, so they took Wang as their surname, and there was a corresponding genealogy in the village, which recorded the identity of each of them.

After the experts learned their identities, they came here to investigate. In order to confirm their identity, the people in the village moved out all the items that could only be used by the former royal family and nobles to prove their identity. In the home of a villager, he also found a portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been guarding for more than 600 years, which was very well preserved, and this portrait was simply priceless to the present. After study by the relevant experts, it was suggested that the portrait be handed over, and the villagers, after careful consideration, were willing to hand it over to the state, and now the portrait is in the national museum. What do you think about that?
