Hello everyone, I'm fried rice, I'll answer this question.
How weird does Zhu Yuanzhang really look? This question was once discussed when the movie "Evil Does Not Pressure Justice" was released, because Liao Fan and the so-called portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang were compared. This at least proves that this kind of shoehorn face similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's in the portrait is indeed possible in life.
Now the TV series "Daming Style" uses Zhu Yuanzhang's shoehorn face in the character modeling, which has once again aroused heated discussion. Many people have begun to scold the director, and even said that this is the face of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was ugly by the Qing Dynasty, how can you use it in a TV series?
In fact, this leads to the two questions that today's fried rice to discuss with everyone, is Zhu Yuanzhang's face this kind of shoehorn face? And this kind of shoehorn face must be the result of vilifying Zhu Yuanzhang?
Zhu Yuanzhang's face is definitely not this kind of shoehorn face in theory. Because one of the best evidences is that the official portraits of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are officially published, because from a genetic point of view, the morphology within three generations will theoretically not change too abnormally.
This is the official version of the Portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Middle and Late Years of the Southern Smoke Hall
Before Zhu Jianshen, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were basically Chinese characters with faces and beards. Therefore, it is unlikely that Zhu Yuanzhang alone is such a "Qiwei" appearance.
So where does this appearance come from? Many people think that the Qing Dynasty can demonize Zhu Yuanzhang, in fact, in the Ming Dynasty, the folk version of Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance has begun to appear.
Various versions of the folk Zhu Yuanzhang "shoehorn face".
The reason why these versions appear is that they have a long history and many sayings. For example, in the period of Zhu Yuanzhang or King Wu, in order to publicize that Zhu Yuanzhang was the "true son of heaven", people painted it; for example, Zhu Yuanzhang killed too many people in his later years, and in order to prevent assassins from assassinating himself, he deliberately painted it to fake the real, and so on. The main basis for the ugliness of the Qing Dynasty is that the hat in some versions is a product of the Qing Dynasty, so it is typical that it was painted by the Qing Dynasty.
But even if the existing shoehorn face portraits are all left by the Qing Dynasty, must it be a scandal of Zhu Yuanzhang? We can explore it in these directions.
"When the First Master ordered Dian, from the Qianguo Mansion, he modeled the Emperor Gao's imperial appearance, with a dragon-shaped beard and twelve black sons on the left side of his face, which was very strange in shape, the same as the world's legend, and seemed to be true." —— Zhang Xuan, "Doubt"
This means that Zhu Yuanzhang has 12 black moles on the left side of his face. Everyone should remember that Liu Bang has 72 black moles on his legs, and it is precisely because of this black mole that Liu Bang is the face of the emperor. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a version of the shoehorn face with 12 black moles on the left side of the face (picture 3, 5, 8 above), so this version of Zhu Yuanzhang's statue was already popular in the Ming Dynasty.
Until you see the depiction of the "dragon shape" in the photo book, and then compare the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang in the "shoehorn version", are you as surprised as fried rice? This appearance is the same as the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang in the folk version. So do you still think this is a scandalizing of Zhu Yuanzhang?
Therefore, the shape of this shoehorn face is not only inappropriate to scandalize Zhu Yuanzhang, but also deliberately circulated in the folk in order to prove that he is a "true dragon tianzi". As for who it is, there is a legend, that is, Liu Bowen's "West Lake To See the Clouds" picture, but it is a pity that the map has not been handed down after all.
