Did anyone find that the first emperor had a portrait of a pig's waist face similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's?

I think the portrait of Qin Shihuang is similar to that of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Whether Qin Shihuang and Zhu Yuanzhang in history are "pig waist faces" is hard for us modern people to say, because we all know each other and no one has ever seen them. Here, I would like to discuss with you the painting method of China's traditional Chinese painting. In art, China traditional painting belongs to "image modeling", which is very different from the "figurative modeling" of western painting. Simply put, it is "emphasizing meaning over form" and focusing on "between similarity and dissimilarity". Landscape painting is like this, so is figure painting. The characteristics of our common New Year pictures and door gods are outstanding. Most of the painting methods are not conventional coloring, and the body proportion is extremely uncoordinated and the image is exaggerated, just to highlight the character. The portrait of Qin Shihuang that we are seeing now is said to have been created by the famous painter Liu Danzhai according to the image of the emperor in the map of emperors in the Tang Dynasty by the painter Yan. Whether the crown of Qin Shihuang in the painting exists in the Qin Dynasty is controversial, not to mention the facial image.

Let's talk about Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait first. According to Mao Shi Lu, Zhu Yuanzhang was "a little longer, handsome and ambitious." He meditates alone, and no one can measure it. " A "handsome man" portrayed Zhu Yuanzhang as a super handsome man, or at least a handsome man. However, "Ming Shi" added a sentence "strange bones penetrate the top" in these sentences. "Strange bone penetrating the top" refers to the protrusion of the skull. If it's true, it's obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what caused the skull variation. How ugly it looks now, how can it be the material for being an emperor!

Records of Ming Taizu was edited by Emperor Wen Jian. Later, after several revisions, Cheng Zu was a direct descendant of Ming Taizu, and the possibility of beautifying Zhu Yuanzhang was not ruled out. However, the history of the Ming Dynasty was compiled by the Qing Dynasty, which does not rule out the possibility of uglification. There are more folklore descriptions. Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was a "dragon face" and deliberately let the painter paint it like this, which was much more interesting. Long, that's enough.

In a word, before the camera came out, we could not know the true face of all historical figures. But neither "pig's waist face" nor "shoe-pulling face" can conceal the achievements and status of the above two old gentlemen in history. It is precisely because of their legendary ups and downs that our history is more colorful and spectacular. Their great achievements will go down in history forever.

There are many portraits of emperors preserved in history, and the appearance of emperors is also different. However, most of these portraits are full color. Because of their age, they have been damaged, faded and blurred. Due to the limitation of paper and printing technology, it is really difficult to restore them clearly and print a paste. This leads to the fact that history textbooks have to choose monochrome sketch templates when printing such portraits. So in the forty-four years of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1565), Wang, a scholar and a member of Shaanxi Buzheng Embassy, appeared. The reason why Wang has something to do with textbook illustrations is that he can't tell the difference between official positions, and he was guilty when he first entered the official position, and then he was cleaned up. His political opponents said, "I'm not from the Ming Dynasty", so Wang transferred "to Wan 'an except Qingjiang County. I was appointed as a judge in Qiongzhou and I was appointed as a judge in Fujian. Erzhi Jinxian, Cao Erjun, and moved to Kaizhou. "Wang didn't wake up until his later years." If you don't look back, you will have wisdom. A scholar should read and write, so he "begs for support" ... writing books for things. "This book, an encyclopedia of atlas, was born, which is the" Three Talents Map Club "." "Three talents" refers to "the benevolence of heaven and earth", covering everything in the universe from astronomy to geography and human beings. China folk painters always have limited imagination and are lazy when painting historical figures, so Ode to the ancients has thousands of people. Wang can't draw himself, and he is lazy. He only steals paintings from the praise of the ancients, so there are thousands of people in the "Three Talents Painting Club". For printing reasons, the editors of history textbooks only chose pictures of historical figures in the Third Junior High School, so there are thousands of textbooks. Only after Ying Zheng's death, Qin Shihuang was reincarnated as Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, then Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, and then Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizu ... unified China for five thousand years. The first emperor's dream of immortality succeeded in disguise!

There are not many people who can pass down portraits in history. The main reason for this situation is that paper portraits can be preserved for more than 1000 years and still need careful protection. Therefore, the paper cultural relics we see now usually do not exceed those of the Tang Dynasty, which means that there are basically no portraits of emperors and princes handed down before the Tang Dynasty. In addition, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun popularized paper and improved papermaking. At that time, there was no paper portrait of Qin Shihuang, and there was no portrait handed down from generation to generation. As for whether other forms of portraits have been handed down, I don't think so far. Perhaps there are murals in the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, but this speculation cannot be confirmed in a short time. But we can see the appearance of Qin Shihuang from the description in Historical Records. It is recorded that Liao Wei, a girder man, met Qin Shihuang: the king of Qin had a high nose and narrow eyes, his chest was like a stork, and his voice was like a jackal. According to this description, I think most people can outline the appearance of Qin Shihuang in their minds. As for Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, there are pictures handed down from generation to generation. It can be seen that it is the real Zhu Yuanzhang.

I like Zhu Yuanzhang better in the first photo. According to folklore, Zhu Yuanzhang's "portrait of pig and dragon" is ugly, but it is not clear whether it is the waist and face of a pig. The following picture of Qin Shihuang often appears in textbooks, and whether it conforms to the appearance of Qin Shihuang cannot be confirmed. You can compare my written description to see if it looks like it.

As for whether Qin Shihuang looks like a pig kidney face, I dare not draw a conclusion.
