    There are many folk sayings about Zhu Yuanzhang's ugly appearance, mainly due to his personal background, policies and image, as well as historical inheritance and cultural influence.

    First of all, Zhu Yuanzhang's personal background makes him have a wide sense of identity among the people at the bottom, and this sense of identity also makes the people have a high acceptance of his appearance. Second, he took care of the interests of the people in his policies, which made him have a high reputation among the people. At the same time, he is relatively close to the people in terms of image, which makes the people's evaluation of his appearance more positive.

    In addition, with the passage of time, the image of Zhu Yuanzhang was gradually beautified in folk word of mouth, and his appearance was also portrayed as more kind. This kind of beautification and exaggeration further led to the spread of Zhu Yuanzhang's "ugly" image.

    In general, many folk legends about Zhu Yuanzhang's ugly appearance are mainly due to his personal background, policies and image, as well as historical inheritance and cultural influence. This phenomenon illustrates that different eras and different figures have evaluated Zhu Yuanzhang from different standpoints, including the people's dissatisfaction with his rule, Zhu Yuanzhang's successor's promotion of Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance to promote the divine authority of the monarchy, and the Qing Dynasty's continued to scandalize the Ming emperor in order to discredit the Ming Dynasty.

    This should be an explanation of the people's curiosity about the emperor at that time, or a curiosity about himself who doesn't understand things, because his appearance can actually be seen to be more peculiar, which should be in line with the needs of ancient China for the appearance of this kind of character, but in fact, I think it should be unlikely to look like that.

    In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's realistic portrait is indeed not in good shape, so he killed many painters to get a satisfactory portrait. Maybe some people despise his narrow-minded approach, or preach that ordinary people can become emperors and generals, which is a continuation of Chen Sheng's thoughts.

    1. Zhu Yuanzhang has never abandoned his primitive class. He came from the bottom, and after becoming the emperor, he still defended the interests of the people at the bottom. He is the only emperor in history who dared to collide with the landlord class and directly divided the land for 3 years of tax exemption.

    Even Li Shimin only dared to divide the ownerless land to the peasants.

    2. During the Ming Dynasty, no one would evaluate Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance.

    3, for Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, those who dare to evaluate or even belittle can only be the Qing Dynasty or even after the Qing Dynasty.

    4. As for why the Qing Dynasty belittled Ming Taizu, hehe, why do you say it.

    It should not be as exaggerated as the portrait, and the exaggeration may be to highlight Zhu Yuanzhang's "different appearance" and show his imperial appearance; It may be the scandalization of Zhu Yuanzhang after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs; There are also painters' treatments of portraits.

    In history, Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance is really very ugly, because there are some more real portraits that record Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, and these portraits are likely to beautify Zhu Yuanzhang.

    Yes, according to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance is very ugly, especially his forehead is very prominent, which looks very strange.

    The current textbooks were compiled by the Manchus, and of course they will inherit the mantle of the Manchus. Try to scandalize the Ming Dynasty as useless, perform pigtail plays every day, and blow the Qing Dynasty to the sky, so that the majority of young people can resonate with the Qing Dynasty and rebuild the rule of the Manchu Dynasty.

    In fact, these were all tampered with by the Manchu rulers, and the history of the Ming Dynasty is the most untrustworthy history. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty each have their own portraits, first aside from Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone else has a similarity, that is, the face is wider, all of them are square faces, and they are bearded. More than a dozen of them looked alike.

    There is only one exception to this, he is Zhu Houzhao of Ming Wuzong, and his face is long, which is not in line with the tradition of the Zhu family. What is strange is that Zhu Yuanzhang's two good-looking portraits include the same characteristics of all the descendants who came after them, if you look at their blood relationship, it seems that these two good-looking portraits should be true. Some people may take Zhu Houzhao as an example, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang is the same as him, he is an alternative, but I can tell you that although Zhu Houzhao has a long face, he is very handsome, and he is the kind of handsome man with a long face.

    He bears no resemblance to the ugly image. There is a legend that Zhu Houzhao is not the real descendant of the Zhu family, and Empress Zhang held a child from the outside for the sake of her status after the death of the crown prince Zhu Houwei. Later, the king of Anhua rebelled, and he said in his inscription that the emperor was not surnamed Zhu but a wild seed.

    The legend is not to be believed, but it is interesting that after his cousin Emperor Jiajing took the throne, the subsequent emperors appeared with those traditional features of the Zhu family in appearance. It cannot be ruled out that Zhu Di inherited the possibility of his mother's appearance, but I heard that Zhu Li, the king of Jin, is also very good-looking, and it seems that this possibility is extremely small. If those two good-looking portraits were fakes, how could the painter have guessed that his descendants also had those characteristics and fakes?

    Could it be another coincidence, this also seems too coincidental! You can look at the National Treasure Archive, where there is the answer to the mystery of Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance.

    It's all possible to be true, and it's painted in a dignified way.

    The master may have been painted by a painter at that time, and he would paint beautifully, and the master who painted very ugly may have been a descendant or a later dynasty, because Zhu Yuanzhang implemented a terror system at that time, that is, the factory guard system, and later generations may be prejudiced against him. The person who paints the portrait has a different understanding of the person being painted, and the painting is also different, which may be ugly or beautified!

    The second one is true.

    Zhu Yuanzhang was not good-looking, because he was not satisfied with the more realistic portraits painted by the painters, so he killed those painters, and one of the painters heard about it wisely, so when he painted Zhu Yuanzhang again, he painted him a little more beautifully.

    It's not going to be so ugly

    Otherwise, Guo Zixing would not have married his righteous daughter to Zhu Yuanzhang so easily.

    To be honest, in reality, I have never seen such an ugly person.

    It should be the latter one, ugly.

    In the past, portraits glorified rulers, and some dynasties could not even look up at the emperor, or even imagined by the painters.

    This may only be known to Zhu Yuanzhang himself, because there is no conclusion on the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang in history.

    The ugly is true. As for the physiognomy you mentioned, in order to make Zhu Yuanzhang happy and avoid being killed, the painter added some of the facial features of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, to Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

    Saying that Zhu Yuanzhang's face is ugly should be an artificial ugliness, and the real Zhu Yuanzhang in history is just darker. A man in cloth who herded cattle and sheep from a small landlord's house, worked as a beggar, and became a monk cannot be as white as those emperors who were pampered when they were young.

    There is a legend about Zhu Yuanzhang's ugly appearance in the Qing Dynasty.

    According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang's real face is very ugly, Emperor Zhu felt that the painter painted him too real and ugly after summoning the court painter to paint his portrait, and thought that his "shoehorn face" did not conform to the image of an emperor's 95 supreme. So Zhu Yuanzhang asked the painter to repaint it with a square head and big ears, looking like a full emperor and wealth. It is the official official version of the portrait of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang in the Nanxun Hall of the Forbidden City.

    But after returning home, the painter secretly painted a real appearance of Zhu Yuanzhang according to his memory, and this portrait is said to be the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang's real appearance.

    How does Zhu Yuanzhang look like, let's start with his marriage to Miss Ma, we know that when Zhu Yuanzhang married Ma Xiuying, the righteous daughter of Guo Zixing, the marshal of the Red Turban Army, he was just an ordinary personal soldier under Guo Ziyi, if Zhu Yuanzhang was really ugly, how could Guo Zixing marry his daughter to a low-status and extremely ugly person. Let's take a look at the portraits of Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang's sons and grandsons are all people with good facial features and heroic spirit, from a genetic point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang should not be extremely ugly.

    Where did Zhu Yuanzhang's "shoehorn face" portrait come from, we can't verify, we know that Zhu Yuanzhang as an emperor, only the court painter can paint his portrait, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is really ugly, but for the face of the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang, the painter will retouch and beautify when painting, and the bold will not give the emperor Lao Tzu a portrait of the ugly.

    Most of the ugly portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang we see today were circulated after the Qing Dynasty, and the costumes worn by Zhu Yuanzhang in the portraits were all costumes from the early Qing Dynasty. Perhaps it was the Manchurian Dynasty that scandalized the Ming Dynasty for political purposes to show the correctness of its own victory, and they modified some of Zhu Yuanzhang's deeds, including Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait.

    In fact, no matter what Zhu Yuanzhang looks like, it will not affect the world's recognition of his great achievements. Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the oppressive rule of the Mongolian nation over the Chinese nation and restored the clothing culture of our nation with his cloth clothes.

    I think Zhu Yuanzhang is not particularly good-looking, which may be related to the fact that he was born as a farmer and was also a monk.

    <> physiognomy has been passed down for thousands of years in history, and it must have its reasonable logic and profound insight.

People with this trait were typical of emperors in ancient times.
