Portraits of empresses in history

1. Ancient Empress looks like pictures

Image: In the Chinese canonical books of all times, said the emperor looks, but there will be some of these descriptions: the corner of the dragon face; the day of the table, the dragon wind of the posture; the dragon walk tiger step; dragon eyes wind eyes; odd bone through the top; river eyes mouth, and so on. Finally, there is probably a "majestic appearance" to make a general summary. In short, the emperor's appearance, is to highlight two words: a "strange" word, a "male" word. The so-called "strange", that is, different from the ordinary people, such as Liu Bei two ears hanging shoulders, hands longer than the knee, is a kind of strange; Liu Bang shares seventy-two red moles, is also a kind of strange. But these strange looks, can not be said to be the emperor of the goods, although Liu Bei, Liu Bang have called the emperor, but from the point of view of physiognomy, not only because of these features, can be the emperor. From the point of view of physiognomy, the real identity with the emperor commensurate with the strange phase, roughly there are some of these: 1. heavy pupil and pupil: legend has it that Emperor Shun has heavy pupil, Xiang Yu also has heavy pupil, are strange phase, the so-called heavy pupil, that is, there are two pupils in the eye,, according to the book of the heavy pupil for the strange and noble, the master of the Shengdeqianneng, Ming Shenwu, for the emperor's product. And the pupil is also a strange noble, the main just brave, Zhi Da reserved pride, for the domination of the hegemony, for the usurpation of the number (using the emperor's honorary name) of the product, heavy pupil and and the pupil of the two pupils, but the heavy pupil for the top and bottom of the two, and the pupil for the left and right two pupils. Whether it is a heavy pupil or and pupil, from a distance there is only one pupil, close up there are two. These wonders, probably for the miraculous creation of heaven and earth, a thousand years hard to come by a person. Due to the lack of empirical evidence, coupled with the different views of modern anatomy, some of the literati who oppose traditional physiognomy, simply said that the heavy pupil and the pupil are nothing more than early cataract patients. This refutation of the traditional method of physiognomy, it is really not only show a very simple and concise, but also appear to know a lot of science! Oh.2. Ri Angle Lung accurate, the emperor's phase. & gt; contained: "Gaozu as a person, Lung accurate and dragon face, beautiful beard, the left stock has seventy-two children." Above said Liu Bang stock born seventy-two red moles, for one of the strange phase. But this kind of strange face is difficult to match with the emperor's honor. He became the founding king of the identity of the real match, is his "sun angle Longjun" phase. > contained, Liu Bang in Sishui when the pavilion chief, the photographer Lu Gong looked at Liu Bang's appearance, said: "I good look at people, look at people more than enough, no such as Ji (Liu Bang's word Ji) phase, I hope that the Ji self-love, I have interest in the female, I would like to be a concubine of the broom," Lv Gong's approach, caused his wife's opposition, she said: the public began to try to odd the female with the nobleman with, now why the presumption of granting the Liu season? Duke Lu insisted that Liu Bang would be prosperous in the future, and that he would be a "nobleman", which means the Son of Heaven, so he blocked his wife with a sentence: "This is not something that a child or a woman should know about." . Lu Gong's words undoubtedly also strengthened the lowly Liu Bang's ambition. Lu's daughter, Lu Zhi (吕稚), became the Empress Lu (吕后). After marrying Liu Bang, Lu Zhi worked as a farmer's wife and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Once, an old father, passing by a field, asked Mrs. Lu, who was working in the field, for a drink of water, and after Mrs. Lu gave him a drink, the old father looked at his face and said: "Mrs. Lu, the world's nobility", and then he looked at the faces of the two children beside him and said: "Mrs. Lu, the nobility of the world is the male", and the female "are also all men", and the female "are also all men", and the female "are all men", and the female "are all men", and the female "are also all men". He said, "This man is the reason why your wife is so honorable," and the girl was "all honorable too". After the old father left, Liu Bang came to the field, heard the incident and caught up with the old man, the old man said: "Lady's son are all noble with the king's face." Liu Bang thanked him and said, "I am as my father said, I dare not forget my virtue." The two face activities, so that Liu Bang's psychology has great confidence, but also increased Lu Zhi mother of the world's ambition. So, what exactly was Liu Bang's face that made Lord Lu willing to marry off his daughter, whom he thought should be the Empress, to Liu Bang, a guy who was close to being a scoundrel? Certainly not the seventy-two red moles on his thighs, which are invisible. And it wasn't enough to make him a king. The only face that can make him "unspeakable" is of course the "Longzhun Longyan", the so-called "Longzhun Longyan", which is the character of the emperor, Longzhun refers to the nose that is full of holes, with a big head, a straight nose, preferably straight up to the Hall of Indies, and no depression in the root of the hill between the two eyes. This kind of nose is called Fuxi Nose. It is the main character of great wealth. The so-called dragon face, face is of course the face of the head, dragon face is the meaning of the dragon head, what is the dragon head? We look & gt;, you see that the Dragon King, their forehead are square, not round, and in the forehead to see a piece of raised bone, that is called the ulnar bone, it is said that the dragon only grew into the ulnar bone, in order to call the wind and call for rain, clouds and fog, stealthy hidden line of the forehead of the ordinary people, most of them are round, not square, forehead square is expensive. Founding emperor for the so-called "true dragon son of heaven", then the head of nature and ordinary people are different, the forehead is not only square, but also a square protruding bone on the heavenly court. Like the skull of the Dragon King, the phantom is called Fuxi bone, also known as the corner of the day, the more square this bone is the more expensive, round for the second. This is the so-called "Rijiao Dragon Face", for the emperor. Many founding emperors had this kind of appearance. Liu Bang so, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu also has this look, according to the history books, Han Guangwu Emperor "body length of seven feet three inches, beautiful eyebrows, large mouth, Long Jun, the sun corner of the image, this is the fate of the day also" Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu portrait, so what kind of Lu Zhi looks, so that her father firmly believe that she can be the mother of the world? Empress Lu's portrait in the five elements of culture and physiognomy, men belong to the yang, women belong to the yin, men symbolize the dragon, women symbolize the wind, the true dragon and the son of the phase analogous to the dragon's head, then, the mother of the world's queen phase, the head of the wind analogous to. The phoenix has a small head with a phoenix crown, a long neck, two long, thin eyes with upturned tails, and a real light inside. If you get this look, you will become the "head of the wind", and you will be very valuable. That is to say, the neck should be long and thin, this long and thin neck is generally required to match the melon face, the forehead should also be like the sun horn like bone, symbolizing the phoenix crown. But in the woman's head, it is not called "sun angle", but called "moon angle", the ancient times, said the consort has "sun angle weir moon phase", that is the meaning of this. And for the queen, the most important thing is to have the wind eyes. The so-called wind eye, that is, long and thin eyes, the corners of the eyes to be small and sharp, the eye of the spider round and colorful, known as the true light, also known as the dragon eye. The tail of the eye is long and thin, convergence upward, like the tail of the phoenix, the whole shape of the eye is like the body of the phoenix. This dragon eyes wind eyes, long in a melon face, wind neck support, with long and clear, slightly upward eyebrows, natural majesty. Therefore, the book has a cloud: the woman dragon head wind head, will be matched with the king. Empress Lu is also! This wind eye phase of the woman, full of ambition, majesty, vigor, talent, but the heart is also very poisonous, from her decisive to kill Han Xin, persecuted Mrs. Qi's means of cruelty to see, after Lu for the people of the poisonous, as well as her talent, and stay in the history of the same.

2. Song dynasty empresses who painted

Now a large part of the Qing dynasty according to the previous restoration, the ancient painter is still very strict, basically show the emperor's style Qing dynasty, the Qianlong emperor in the review of the library collection of paintings found that the collection of portraits of the more mottled off, so the Ministry of Public Works will be stored in the emperor and consort of successive generations of emperors, sages and ministers like re-framed and rehoused in the South Kaohsiung Hall, the images have been called "South Kaohsiung Hall", which was also known as the "South Kaohsiung Hall", "the South Kaohsiung Hall". is known as the "South Smoke Hall Image".

Now hidden in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, "Nan Kaodian image" in the Song Dynasty emperor and queen like more complete. The Song dynasty emperors and queens from Xuanzu to Duzong.

These portraits are less mentioned in the history of Chinese figure painting, perhaps in the eyes of some literati painters, they are too meticulous, not heavy enough. However, as the works of famous portrait painters of the Song dynasty are rare today, the Portraits of Song Emperors and Empresses becomes an important data for exploring Song portraiture.

"Images of the South Smoke Hall.

Song Dynasty Emperor and Empress Portraits reflects a certain paradigm in terms of size, style, painting method, as well as the posture, expression, and clothing of the characters. As far as the costumes are concerned, the emperors are all dressed in red court dress, with long-winged official hats, simple and generous.

Empresses are dressed in gorgeous costumes, wearing a crown of nine dragons and flower hairpin. In terms of aesthetics, the emperor statue is on the plain side, the queen statue is on the gorgeous side, and this contrast is also evident in their sitting furniture.

The portrait shows us the character traits of the Song emperors and queens, while also depicting more than 20 sets of furniture (chairs and foot bearers), revealing some of the characteristics of the Song imperial furniture. The sitting furniture in the painting is divided into three categories: thrones (wide and ornate armchairs), more ornate back chairs, and plainer back chairs.

The sitting furniture of Emperor Xuanzu, Emperor Tazu, Queen Zhenzong, and Emperor Yingzong is a throne; the back chairs of Queen Xuanzu, Queen Renzong, Emperor Gaozong, Emperor Xiaozong, Emperor Guangzong, Queen Guangzong, Emperor Ningzong, Emperor Lizong, and Emperor Duzong are more ornate; and the back chairs of Emperor Zhenzong, Emperor Renzong, Queen Yingzong, Emperor Shenzong, Emperor Shenzong, Emperor Zhezong, Emperor Huizong, Emperor Huizong, Emperor Chinzong, Emperor Qinzong, Emperor Gaozong, Emperor Ningzong, and Emperor Ningzong are plainer. It is noteworthy that the sitting furniture of the most desultory and luxurious emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong Zhao Ji, still looks plain even in the latter type.

Huizong chair was developed on the basis of his father (Emperor Shenzong), brother (Emperor Zhezong), hitching the brain out of the head, semi-circular end designed as a three-section curved cloud pattern, the seat drawer under the teeth of the ends of the strip is also decorated with cloud patterns. Foot bearing for the four column foot frame structure, both sides and the front and back decorated with openwork Ganoderma lucidum pattern.

The chair and the foot bearings are painted red lacquer, which is very uniform with Zhao Ji's official robe. In addition, Huizong chair four feet have side feet, especially the two rear feet of the slope is slightly exaggerated.

From the painter's modeling ability, it is unlikely that the illusion caused by the improper use of perspective by the painter should be the actual situation. For this front and rear foot side foot inconsistent chair shape is yet to be further study, because even in the Ming and Qing dynasty furniture, such instances are rare, this unique design and the artistic qualities of the artist emperor's aesthetics is not unrelated.
