Legend has it that Zhu Yuanzhang is extremely ugly, a bald man with 72 hemp seeds on his face, an unimaginable image. Many people in the folk think that he looks like this and looks so ugly. Even today, we can still see Zhu Yuanzhang's pockmarked portrait.
However, there is another saying recorded in Ming history: Zhu Yuanzhang was very handsome when he was young. He even made a sharp contrast between the image of adults and the simple image of childhood. It can be seen how different the two images are.
Some personal views on reading historical materials: I think that when reading historical materials, we need to confirm each other between different historical materials with a questioning attitude and a large number of verification attitudes, and we can't generalize just because we see such records in one historical material. Every historical document contains the subjective and subjective color of the person who recorded it, so the suggestion is to be more skeptical, more textual research and more combined with historical materials.
