Zhu Yuanzhang's face in "Evil Does Not Pressure Justice" the year before was on fire, and as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang appeared in "Daming Fenghua", he made Zhu Yuanzhang's image catch fire again and became a hot search. However, there is no doubt that Zhu Yuanzhang in "Daming Style" is definitely the ugliest version of various TV series, and it is not too much to say that it is ugly out of the sky. But is Zhu Yuanzhang really so ugly?
In ancient times, without photographic technology, the only way to leave behind the images of the ancients was to rely on portraits. And Chinese painting itself does not pay attention to perspective, so the portrait is actually very abstract, pay attention to the god-like, rather than particularly emphasizing the shape, so many of the images of the ancients are now unclear, and can only be restored according to the text descriptions and portraits left by the ancients. The description of the image by the ancients is always more exaggerated, so it is more difficult to restore.
For example, the description of Liu Bei's appearance left in the history books has two most basic characteristics, the first is that the hands are longer than the knees, and the second is the two earlobes and shoulders. But this kind of appearance is impossible for any normal person, and if the hand is longer than the knee, it is a gibbon, and it is impossible for a person as an upright animal to have this phenomenon. Nor is it possible to have two earlobes and shoulders. But this at least shows that Liu Bei's appearance has two characteristics, that is, the arms are relatively long and the earlobes are relatively large, but it is impossible to reach the point where the hands are longer than the knees and the two earlobes and shoulders.
Therefore, the written descriptions left by the ancients must not be disbelieved, but they must not be fully believed. Because this is the impression left by the ancients according to the images they have seen, and it is also the only information that restores the appearance of the ancients today, you can't help but believe it. But written records are subjective impressions left by personal observations, and it is inevitable that everyone's subjective feelings will be mixed in. For example, the observation of the master by the subordinates will inevitably have descriptions such as great appearance, and the vengeful people may deliberately scandalize it.
If Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance really has the portraits that have been handed down and as ugly as in "Daming Style", then the simplest truth is that he could not have married his daughter to him as soon as he joined the Red Turban Army. Moreover, if you really look like that, just looking like that can already scare away a lot of people, it is impossible to quickly unite so many people in the ranks of the Red Turban Army to form a small group.
Therefore, based on the written records and portraits left behind now, it can be generally determined that Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance has some characteristics, such as the chin may be longer, the ground is wrapped in the sky, and the face is relatively long, but it should be at the point where normal people will not feel particularly strange, and even feel annoying at a glance, otherwise there will be no later achievements. In this sense, the shape given to Zhu Yuanzhang by "Daming Style" seems to be scandalous. The treatment of "Evil Does Not Pressure Righteousness" is much better, although Liao Fan's side face is indeed a bit similar to that portrait, but liao Fan on the front is very normal.
