Those ugly celebrities in ancient times

Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-31

Recently, I read history, and consciously collected and recorded the records of the ancients' "looking at faces", and found that this kind of aesthetic records were especially recorded in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, probably as Mr. Lu Xun saidThe Wei and Jin dynasties were the consciousness of literature, the awakening of individual life consciousness, and people got rid of the shackles of Confucian ethics and opened upBegin to focus on the individual, bold aesthetic ugliness

There is no shortage of beautiful men with good image and temperament, such as Fu Fan He Lang (He Yan), Xiahou Xuan who is "as bright as the sun and the moon in his arms", Ji Kang who is "independent of rock rock and lone pine", Pei Kai who "goes up on the jade mountain, and the light reflects people", Wei Jue who is "the viewer is like a wall" and so on, but at the same time, there are also many ugly records:

1.Zhang Zai, Zuo Si

Zhang Zai, the word Mengyang, Anping people. This is Zhang Zai of the Jin Dynasty, not Zhang Zai of the Northern Song Dynasty who wrote the four sentences of Hengqu. Zhang Zai has a leisurely and elegant temperament, erudite and has articles, during the Taikang period, went to Sichuan to visit his father, passed by the Sword Pavilion, faced the precipitous of the Sword Pavilion, thought that the Shu people were dangerous and chaotic, and made the "Sword Pavilion Ming" admonition, and was later seen by the emperor, and ordered it to be Wenle Stone Sword Pavilion.

among others"One person has a halberd, and ten thousand people are on their feet. A place of beauty, no relatives do not live".One sentence, Li Bai's "Shu Dao Difficulty" in ".The Sword Pavilion is majestic and Cui Wei, one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open. Guards or bandits, turned into wolves and jackalsThat's where it comes from. Although he has a high literary talent, Zhang Zai is not good-looking, and he is ugly and is attacked. Jin Pei Qi's "Yulin" has a record, the book Liang Shang existed, and later dispersed, the Southern Liang Dynasty Liu Xiaobiao.

Yulin said: "Anren is beautiful, every line, the old woman throws it with fruit, and the car is full." Zhang Mengyang is ugly, every line, the child throws it with bricks and stones, and the car is also full. ”

The original text is to compare Zhang Zai's ugliness with Pan Yue's beauty, Pan Yue is popular, throwing fruit and winning cars, and Zhang Zai is ugly, disliked, and full of stones. The same experience is also embodied in Zuo Si, which is recorded in "The World Speaks New Words: Tolerance":

Pan Yue has a beautiful appearance and a good look. When he was young, he popped up Luoyang Road, and the woman met him, and he couldn't help but haunt him. Zuo Taichong was ugly, and he also returned to Yue Youao, so the group of concubines spat together and returned suddenly.

The narrative of "The World Speaks New Language" obviously borrows from "Yulin", but this time the ugly supporting role is replaced by Zuo Si, and the protagonist is still Pan Yue. Pan Yue has a good look, when he was young, on Luoyang Street, he was surrounded by women holding hands and not allowed to leave, while Zuo Si followed Pan Yue's example, but he was spit on by the women and sprayed home.

By the way, Zuo Si, Zuo Si is still very talented, and he can inherit the aftermath of Han Dafu and create a masterpiece like "Sandu Fu", which is a miracle in the short-lived unification of the Western Jin Dynasty, and it is no wonder that Luoyang is expensive for a while.

2.Liu Ling

Liu Ling, that is the Liu Ling of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, I carefully analyzed the background of each person in the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, their political positions, and their different fates in the previous article "Where do the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest go". Liu Ling is famous for "drunkenness" and is the author of "Ode to Wine Virtue".

"The World Says New Words: Rongzhi" records: "Liu Ling is six feet long, very ugly, and flickering, civil and wood-shaped. ”

Liu Ling is the least qualified of the Seven Sages, and the previous quotation shows that he has a poor image, is short, and has an ugly appearance;In the "Book of Jin", it is said that Liu Ling "is silent and does not talk in vain", which means that this person has few words and has problems in interpersonal communication;The Book of Jin also said that Liu Ling "didn't mind whether the family property was in the beginning", it should be said that there was a gap between Liu Ling and other sages in terms of economy, and the family background was not good;

To sum it up, Liu Ling is ugly, talks little, has poor family conditions, and is an alcoholic, this is directly a bad youth in modern society.

But he has a personality, and his "Ode to Wine and Virtue" criticizes etiquette and religion, and looks at all things, reflecting Liu Ling's arrogance and straightforwardness, so "The World Says New Words" praised him for "flickering, earth-shaped remains" (indulgent and casual, without decoration), so Ji Kang and Ruan Ji saw him "glad to understand and enter the forest hand in hand".

But in the Wei and Jin dynasties, who paid attention to the gate valve, had no political background, and could only be depressed and subordinate, Liu Ling once joined the army under Wang Rong, who was younger than himself, and at the beginning of Tai, he did not take measures, but he was also lucky, which also avoided being politically purged like Ji Kang, and finally died in death.

3.Wang Cang

Wang Cang, the word Zhongxuan, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, is talented, and Liu Xian commented on his "crown of seven sons". It is because of his appearance that Wang Cang's marriage is still affected, "Three Kingdoms" contains:

Wang Cang) was seventeen, Situ Pi, the edict of the Yellow Gate Shilang, to Xijing disturbance, all of which were not settled. It is Jingzhou according to Liu Biao. The table is frail and frail, and it is not very heavy.

Wang Cang's ancestors were all the three princes of the Han Dynasty, and his family background was prominent, because Chang'an was in turmoil at that time, Wang Cang went to Jingzhou to attach himself to Liu Biao, but Liu Biao saw that he was not good-looking, his body was weak, and his personality was scattered and simple, so he was not very important.

At that time, Wang Cang and his brother Wang Kai avoided chaos in Jingzhou together, Liu Biao at first valued his talent and wanted to marry his daughter to him, but later he thought that his appearance was ugly and he was not a son-in-law, so he married his daughter to Wang Kai.

After Liu Biao's death, Wang Cang persuaded Liu Cong to join Cao Cao, pacify Jingzhou, and be crowned a marquis. In the first month of the 22nd year of Jian'an, Wang Cang died of the plague in the plague, because he liked to listen to the donkey bark during his lifetime, and Cao Pi also called the donkey with everyone to send him to his death.
