There has been controversy over Zhu Yuanzhang's portraits in history. It is undoubtedly to distinguish between "beautiful" and "ugly" Zhu Yuanzhang's portraits, and which one is the real appearance of Zhu Yuanzhang. Especially at the opening of the "Miao He Shen Xing-Ming and Qing Portraits Exhibition in the National Museum of China", the two opposing portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang and the aliens are even more interesting, which also makes people wonder which one is also. The real Zhu Yuanzhang? Next, we will take a look at the various versions of Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait in history. In the photo is a portrait of Ming Taizu. The portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang in the photo of
is the "Alien Image of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang" that appeared in the exhibition. This painting is unrecognizable. It is a Ming Dynasty work in terms of the style of painting. That is to say, the popular cheeks are deformed and elongated, the chin protrudes forward, and the face is covered with moles to varying degrees. "The dragon head of the phoenix eyes, the moles on the face" form a completely different contrast with the positive image.
There are many versions of the portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang circulated in the world. The portraits that can be seen are mainly divided into two categories: one ugly and one handsome. Existing data indicate that most of the ugly versions of portraits were painted by the people after the fall of the Ming Dynasty. There was a folk legend that Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely ugly, his face was full of pockmarks, his chin was very long, and his frontal bones were a little protruding. It was also said that Zhu Yuanzhang was furious because the court painter had painted him too real, and he pushed the painter out and cut it. It's all nonsense. The picture is one of Zhu Yuanzhang's portraits.
In the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many mentions of the portraits of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang: First, it is about the records of Ming Taizu drawing portraits. The Ming Dynasty Lu Rong's "Sushi Garden Miscellaneous Records" Volume 14 stated that Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang once called in painters to make portraits for himself. , But did not get the reward for the portrait; the second is the record of witnessing Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait. In the sixth year of Longqing, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry of Nanjing, Zhang Han recalled in "Meng Yu of Song Chuang" that the Taizu Yu Rong he admired was "very different (unlike) from the legendary and different images of the folk". It can be seen that by the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Taizu's alien phase has been widely spread among the people, which is very different from the portraits in the palace seen by Zhang Han. In the photo is the portrait of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. The photo of
is one of the portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang. The white "Mao Zheng" on the hat in this portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang in the picture is a typical Qing Dynasty feature. The "Mao Zheng" is made of jade, emerald, agate and other materials, with round, square, polygonal, etc., drilled and stitched. At the front of the hat. However, "Maozheng" only became popular in the Qing Dynasty. So why did the Qing Dynasty dress characteristics appear on Zhu Yuanzhang's clothing in the early Ming Dynasty? Therefore, this portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang must have been made by a Qing dynasty and has no credibility. The photo of
is the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang that appeared in the movie "The Evil Does Not Suppress the Right". When the film is being shown, every time the plot develops to this point, the audience in the audience will inevitably laugh and laugh. Indeed, this very funny "reproduction of real portraits" adds a unique taste to the whole movie. Adding this kind of mischievous bridge section does produce a certain "nonsense" effect. However, this painting is exactly the same as the previous portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang that vilified Zhu Yuanzhang. I hope that the portraits and history of historical figures in the film and television works should be authentic and not misleading the audience. The photo of
is the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang and the characters in the TV series "Da Ming Feng Hua". The image of Zhu Yuanzhang "restored" in the TV series "Daming Fenghua". In the play, Zhu Yuanzhang has raised eyebrows, a high nose and a hideous expression. A "shoehorn face" seems to restore that famous portrait. This peculiar-looking "Ming Taizu" in the TV series really scared the audience and sparked a heated discussion: is this hideous and shoehorned person really Zhu Yuanzhang? In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang in the play is also for film and television effects, and there is no corroboration on whether it is true or not. The photo of
is the real portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang. This portrait of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is also shown in the exhibition "The Right Image of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang". This portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang comes from the painter Yu Ming in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. On the lower right side of the supplementary picture, there is also Zhu Wenfang's seal of "Yu Ming Gongyi". This picture originally currently in the Taipei National Palace Museum is a relatively standard portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang's positive image, which is the image of a mature man. This shows that Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance is not unique. The photo of
is a portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang in his later years. The portraits in the Ming Palace and the Forbidden City Museum are all of the above, the upright and majestic Ming Taizu,The portraits in the Ming Xiaoling Tomb in Nanjing are quite different. Now the portraits in the textbooks use the "ugly" Ming Taizu. Therefore, those portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang that vilified Zhu Yuanzhang were painted by Qing dynasty people who did not understand the Ming Dynasty Hanfu after shaved hair and easy clothes. They are not true and precise, so the official portraits are closer to historical facts.
