How did Zhu Yuanzhang s pig kidney face come about? Who drew it?

1 Zhu Yuanzhang is from Anhui, Anhui people are characterized by a big chin, so the old Zhu's lower bar belongs to the larger Anhui people, there must be more gold in the eight characters, and more gold is a little bigger, 2 Qing Dynasty, silently, deliberately scandalized the previous dynasty, so as to make the image of the Shuntian Dao of this dynasty taller, acquiescing to the popularity of the big chin picture, 3 The skull is wide, this kind of person is smart, but the face is slightly sunken, mainly slightly sunken between the eyes, summary, the pig's waist face was invented by later generations, and the original characteristics are, The skull is broad, the chin is wide, and the face is dignified.

It was handed down by the people. But Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait should be Zhu Di's transformation, because Zhu Di wants to compete for the throne, so he must win the hearts of the people first.

Zhu Yuanzhang is very similar to his ancestor Zhu Xi, and he looks extremely ugly!

In fact, there was no photographic technology in ancient times, so I could only refer to historical documents, some people said like "pig kidneys", some people said like "insels", and I personally felt that since it was an emperor, it naturally looked better.

There are many different theories about this pig's kidney face in history, the first is that Zhu Yuanzhang asked the painter to add the face of the dragon and the Son of Heaven to the portrait in order to make himself recognized by the people, and the second is that the Qing army deliberately made Zhu Yuanzhang so ugly.

This was painted blindly by a painter in ancient times, and then because most people had never seen Zhu Yuanzhang, they believed it and took it seriously.

"Pig kidney face" actually means that Zhu Yuanzhang's face is very long, and it looks very weird, so later generations say that Zhu Yuanzhang's face is "pig kidney face".

I think that Zhu Yuanzhang's strange portrait was a malicious work during the Qing Dynasty in order to belittle and smear the Ming emperor, but later it was retained, but in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang is not like this.

In fact, this is also relatively easy to understand. The rulers of the Qing Dynasty were Manchus, not Han Chinese in the Central Plains. The previous Ming Dynasty was Han Chinese, and the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, started from the Yuan Dynasty before the rebellion, and the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were not Han Chinese, but also ethnic minorities.

Under such circumstances, the best way to discredit the Ming Dynasty is to discredit Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

So it's very simple to scandalize Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance. Before the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's portraits were quite handsome, and for his founding emperor, no matter whether he was good-looking or not, the places that could be beautified should be beautified, so that even if Zhu Yuanzhang was really ugly, he would be beautified and good-looking.

So because there is such a situation,Many people think that Zhu Yuanzhang is actually handsome, but he was just scandalized by the Manchu Dynasty in later generations.

History is written by the victors, because out of the need to discredit Zhu Yuanzhang, the Qing rulers naturally wanted to scandalize Zhu Yuanzhang.

We don't know exactly what he looks like, unless we travel through the past to see him, and the descriptions of him by the descendants of these victors all reflect their own requirements for painters, so Zhu Yuanzhang appears in our history textbooks in several ways.

It may be because the painter asked Zhu Yuanzhang to sit when he was painting, and the painter stood and looked at different angles, so there were discrepancies in the figures drawn.
