【Historical Live Broadcast】Watching videos and being seen by our ancestors

[No way! I can't be the only one who didn't know that these portraits weren't of the real people! ]

[I just realized that these portraits are not of the real person——]

[The video shows a picture of a lady leaning against a tree with a brush in her right hand. I thought it was Li Qingzhao]

[No, no, no, it turns out it was a painting of a lady by Teacher Yang Shutao. Li Qingzhao was from Zhangqiu, Shandong.]

[The place where Li Qingzhao's image actually exists is the "Qingzhao Garden" beside the Mingshui Baimai Spring in Zhangqiu District, Jinan City, Shandong Province. A statue of Li Qingzhao is also placed in the garden. ]

[An old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life appeared in a book called Chinese Language. 】

[This classic portrait of Du Fu in the Chinese language textbook was also painted by the painter Jiang Zhaohe at the time without any reference]

[In addition, celebrities such as Li Shizhen and Zu Chongzhi were also created by the painter Jiang Zhaohe based on the faces of his father-in-law Xiao Longyou and his good friend Zhu Kezhen.]

[The historical Zhu Yuanzhang did not have the same ugly face as the one in the video. ]

[Instead, his son Zhu Di created an image of a mighty and majestic dragon for his father, so he recorded in the "Records of Ming Taizu" that "later his bones became protruding, which was very strange" and "strange bones penetrated the top of the head" and other guiding remarks were widely circulated in the Ming Dynasty.]

[As a result, the face of Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, changed from a round and fat face to a shoe-horn face that could scare children to death in the middle of the night.]

"Originally, the rumor of the shoe-horn face was spread by Zhu Di, who wanted people to think that his father Zhu Yuanzhang was the true dragon emperor and should be the emperor. In fact, this is not a bad word, because in books, Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance conforms to the appearance of the true dragon emperor in the physiognomy book. But who would have known that when these features are gathered on one face, it turns out to be a shoe-horn face. However, Zhu Yuanzhang's real appearance is very normal because it is very simple. Except for Zhu Yuanzhang, none of the remaining 15 emperors of the Ming Dynasty have a shoe-horn face."

"The two ears on his hat are quite cute"

"So many portraits of celebrities are fake, so tell me what's real! What's real!"

"The test scores above are real"

“It hurts, my friend!”

"I am dying of laughter. A high school classmate once said that I looked like Zhu Yuanzhang with a horse face [laughing and crying] I worked hard and finally became Zhu Yuanzhang with a round face!"

"I seem to have seen someone say that he deliberately asked the artist to draw it like this because he looks like an emperor."

"When our history teacher saw Du Fu's portrait, he said: He looks like a troubled old man."

"At that time, there were no portraits of them in history. A Russian university asked us to contribute a portrait of Li Shizhen, and the portrait was displayed together with the scientists Darwin and Mrs. Reeve in the gallery of their school. So, there were no portraits of them in history, so we had to bite the bullet and look for money, and then paint that portrait."

"On How to Distinguish Zhu Yuanzhang from Mangoes"

Zhu Yuanzhang: What! How can that person who looks like a monster be me? I used to rely on my face to make a living even when I was begging!

The appearance of an emperor? What an emperor!

If I really looked like this, there would be half as many people who joined me in the uprising!

The fourth son is such a lousy son. He made his father look like a ghost! What does he want to do?

Zu Chongzhi: Although I am a mathematician, there is no need to paint my face so bruised, as if I have taken too much Wu Shi San and am too poor to afford a coffin!

Du Fu, who was in his prime, saw his own portrait on the sky curtain.

First glance: Who is this old man? He looks so pitiful!

Second glance: No, is this me? I look like this? I don’t even know it!

Countless scholars and literati in ancient times grimaced when they saw the faces of themselves that were fabricated by later generations on the sky curtain.

Those who originally did not like to have their portraits painted also began to try their best to make up for it. No one wanted to look as ugly as those in later generations, which was really an eyesore.

How could I, with my handsome looks and elegant figure, look like this!

Later painters have misled me!

No! It has to be changed, and it has to be changed drastically. Then I will ask the painter to draw a hundred or eighty paintings for me to pass on to future generations!

……

Therefore, gallery painters from all dynasties said that they could never finish the painting. It is impossible to finish it now!

Who understands! The first time I made money, I felt so painful and happy, my hands were about to break!
