Recently, Chinese experts decided to restore the true appearance of a series of emperors and famous figures in the country's history through many periods through facial recognition artificial intelligence. . And in the end, the result surprised many people.
1. Guan Yu
Writer La Quan Trung describes the character Quan Vu: “Huyen Duc looked at him and saw that he was nine meters tall, his beard was two meters long, his face was as red as a gac, his lips were painted with lipstick, his phoenix eyes and silk eyebrows were majestic. ” From the photo AI restored of Guan Yu's face, we don't see many differences compared to the picture in the ancient book.
2. Confucius
Anyone who has ever known Confucianism is certainly not unfamiliar with the name Confucius. Confucius was China's most famous teacher, philosopher, and political theorist, whose ideas had a profound influence on the civilization of China and other East Asian countries.
Zhuangzi (369 BC – 286 BC), a prominent philosopher of the Warring States period, described Confucius as follows: “Long above but short below, hunchback and ears tilted back”. These records show that Confucius had an unbalanced body, his back was longer than his legs, his gait was not straight, and his ears stuck back. “Historical records – Confucius family” has written: “The head is born and the top is born”. “Vu peak” here is understood to mean that Confucius's head is concave in the middle and raised around it.
Tuan Tu recorded: “The face of Trong Ni looks like a dream”. “Dream Khi” are ancient statues used to ward off demons and exorcism. They have square faces, messy hair, and are extremely hideous. However, AI thought that Confucius was an old man with a gentle appearance, exuding the wisdom of a brilliant philosopher.
3. Zhuge Liang
Old history describes: Zhuge Liang was 8 meters tall, his face was as beautiful as jade, his head was covered with a scarf, he held a fan in his hand, and he was as generous as a god.
But Zhuge Liang “AI” made many people laugh with his sad face and a cotton towel wrapped around his head as if preparing to go to a sauna.
4. Qin Shi Huang
According to historians, Qin Shi Huang was born in the land of Qin, was from the Northwest, and had the tall, handsome appearance typical of the Han people in the Northwest. Therefore, this emperor must have a handsome and extraordinary appearance.
However, because the information about this Emperor's appearance is quite limited, the AI relied on analyzing his personality and actions and drew a Qin Shi Huang with deep eyes, high nose and not at all as extraordinary as him. people still imagine.
5. Liu Bei
Liu Bei is described in the book “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” as seven and a half meters tall (converted to 1 meter 65 meters), with no beard, very large ears, visible eyes, and very long arms reaching his knees. But through the AI-restored photo, we can see that Liu Bei's facial features are much more angular and handsome than the original painting.
6. Truong Phi
Truong Phi's appearance is described in history books as very fierce and slovenly. After the AI restores, Truong Phi's face can really make others panic when they first meet.
7. Qianlong
Thanh Cao Tong Ai Tan Giac La Hoang Lich (also known as Emperor Qianlong) was the longest-lived emperor in Chinese feudal history when he lived to be 88 years old. The image reconstructed by AI shows that King Qianlong has a handsome appearance and tall physique.
8. Fu Xi
In Chinese culture, Fu Xi is a big figure because the Chinese consider him the founder of Chinese civilization. He is credited with inventing writing, fishing, and animal trapping. He is also famous for many books on translation.
In terms of appearance, he is often described as having the body of a dragon with a human head, or the body of a snake with a human head. In later generations, he was called Dragon To. However, AI believes that Phuc Hy is also a human. Through AI's drawings, Phuc Hy is an old man with long hair and beard, a stern but charismatic face.
9. Lao Tzu
Lao Tzu (c. 500 BC) was a Chinese philosopher credited with founding the philosophical system of Taoism. It can be said that he is on par with Confucius and some other thinkers in the history of ancient Chinese philosophy.
Lao Tzu is described with details such as: Born to laugh; His mother was pregnant with him for 70 years before giving birth to him, so at birth his hair was white. Artificial intelligence also believes that Lao Tzu is an extremely friendly old man with a permanent smile on his face. He also has long white hair and beard.
10. Duong Quy Phi
Duong Quy Phi (719-756) – the most favored concubine of Emperor Xuanzong (Duong Minh Hoang) – was one of the four great beauties of ancient China. Duong Quy Phi is so beautiful that every time she looks at the flowers, they wither with shame (Tu Hoa). According to history books, Duong Quy Phi had a beautiful appearance. According to the aesthetic standards of the Tang Dynasty, Duong Quy Phi was a beauty.
King Huyen Tong's favor for Duong Quy Phi is considered a factor in the decline of the Tang Dynasty. The king, engrossed in alcohol, neglected government and spent so much that he lost the entire country to others.
Based on an ancient painting depicting the portrait of this concubine combined with descriptions in historical books, artificial intelligence (AI) has created a Duong Quy Phi with a beauty that can make people fall in love. The features on her face are small and delicate. Duong Quy Phi has pinkish white skin, square eyes, a high nose and extremely pretty lips. With such beauty, it's no wonder that Duong Huyen Tong has been his exclusive pet for 11 years.
