Although the divine turtle lives long, it is still timely; the snake rides on the fog and eventually becomes ashes.
The old Ji Futuo is determined to be in a thousand miles; the martyr is in his twilight years and his heart is full of heart. - Cao Cao, "Turtle Although Shou"
Cao Cao, known as "the capable minister of ruling the world and the tyrant of the chaotic world", was a famous warlord and politician in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, who relied on his iron wrist to pacify the northern part of the Central Plains, established the Cao Wei regime, and laid the foundation for the Wei state. As for Cao Cao's appearance, there are many theories.
In the "Spring and Autumn of the Wei Dynasty", it is recorded that "the king of Wu is short and the gods are handsome", and although Cao Cao is short in stature, he is very powerful. The commentary of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms records that he was seven feet tall and had thin eyes and long hair. Cao Cao was only seven feet tall, equivalent to more than 1 meter 6 now, not more than 1 meter 7, and at the same time, his eyes were thin and small, a little squinty, and his beard was very long.
There is an interesting story recorded in the "New Language of the World", when Cao Cao returned to see the Xiongnu emissaries, he felt that his image was not good, so he came to Cui Yan to replace him. Cui Yan was a handsome man at the time, while Cao Cao played a guard. Afterwards, he sent someone to ask the Xiongnu emissary How the King of Wei felt, and the Xiongnu emissary said: Although the King of Wei is mighty, the guards next to him must be the real heroes.
This story shows that Cao Cao's own image is not good, but he is very temperamental and prestigious, even if he is incarnated as a vision, others can see his momentum, so what does Cao Cao really look like? This question has been answered with the help of modern technology.
In 1959, skull restoration technology began to develop, with the continuous innovation of computer technology, humans have been able to 3D print the complete skulls of the ancients. And with the skull to restore the appearance of ancient people, and Cao Cao's appearance has also been restored by the efforts of scientific and technological personnel.
From the restoration picture, we can see that Cao Cao's appearance is indeed not like a decent person, under the hook nose of the eagle is a long beard, two eyes are not large, slender eyes reveal cunning, people can not watch for a long time, otherwise it is easy to cause discomfort. Just from his appearance, you can feel Cao Cao's heroic temperament of "I would rather be negative than others".
In addition to Cao Cao, Ling Huiping, who is known as the "first beauty of the Han Dynasty", was also restored. The tomb of Ling Huiping was excavated in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, and is an ancient tomb of the Western Han Dynasty. Her body was so well preserved that even her clothes were not decaying. Inside the coffin was only a seal engraved with her name, and there were no other artifacts. Her skull has also been restored, and her appearance is very stunning, worthy of the reputation of the first beauty of the Han Dynasty.
In 1980, an ancient corpse was unearthed near the Peacock River in Xinjiang, which has a history of 3,800 years after expert research. However, to everyone's surprise, this ancient corpse has not decayed for thousands of years, and her physical characteristics can still be seen. In 2005, China's scientific personnel restored the appearance of the ancient corpse, and the restored Loulan beauty stunned everyone.
From the public photos of Lou Lan's beauty, it can be seen that she has a high nose, deep eye sockets, a melon face and large eyes. From the appearance point of view, Lou lan beauty has a strong Europa blood, and the current mixed blood is very similar. Some even said that she looked like actress KunLing.
With the excavation of many ancient tombs, more and more historical celebrities have been restored, such as Wang Zhaojun, Pan An and so on. The author believes that in the future, with the continuous development of technology, the restoration of these historical beauties and handsome men will become more and more realistic. At that time, people can compare the difference between the aesthetics of thousands of years ago and the present.
