Does Zhu Yuanzhang really have 72 pockmarked faces?

The appearance of Zhu Yuanzhang is still controversial. The so-called saying that Zhu Yuanzhang has seventy-two pockmarked faces is a saying of Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown people that Zhu Yuanzhang was ugly from an early age, with a bald head, a face and seventy-two pockmarked faces. As for why it is seventy-two pockmarked, it may be an ancient superstition, and perhaps the number seventy-two is more auspicious. There were seventy-two changes and seventy-two demons in ancient times. Personally, even if Zhu Yuanzhang has a lot of pockmarked faces, it is impossible to count as 72. Pockmarked this thing may grow one tomorrow.

In fact, for Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, the statement really presents two extremes. One is that he is ugly, and the other is that he is extraordinary. According to the original statue of the emperor in Qianlong period, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely ugly, although this statement is more official. However, people still question it. The most important thing is that all Zhu Yuanzhang's children have a plump and kind face. If Zhu Yuanzhang is so ugly, why are his children different from him? What's the secret history? Is it possible that the Ming Dynasty quietly changed blood inadvertently?

Personally, I think it is not very accurate to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is ugly. The reason why hometown people say this about him is said to be because people don't want to lose their kindness to Zhu Yuanzhang because he became emperor. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang was handsome from the Ming Dynasty, which recorded Zhu Yuanzhang's handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament. At that time, Guo Zixing saw Zhu Yuanzhang's better image and immediately married his daughter to him. This statement feels a bit exaggerated. After all, it's really so handsome, and children won't be like that. Therefore, I personally think that Zhu Yuanzhang in history is between ugly and handsome.

It stands to reason that Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance is definitely not the main thing. He is so awesome in his life. You can eat by talent, by what value?
