The Three Kingdoms period can be said to be the era of heroes. Famous figures were born such as Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Trieu Van, Truong Phi… and it is impossible not to mention the outstanding prime minister Zhuge Liang.
Previously, we only imagined these characters through historical records and movies. But now, thanks to AI (artificial intelligence), combined with circulating documents and images, we can see the faces of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms period “clearly, smoothly, and honestly.” ” than. Although accuracy and authenticity are not guaranteed, the set of photos created by AI brings a lot of excitement and impression.
Below are portraits of the three sworn brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei of the Shu Han dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period.
1. Liu Bei
Liu Bei was an outstanding politician and military commander during the Three Kingdoms period. He recruited two talented generals, Guan Yu and Truong Phi. They were sworn brothers, living and dying together. Liu Bei even tried his best to recruit Zhuge Liang to follow him and help build the Shu Han Dynasty.
In “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, Liu Bei’s appearance is described as follows: “Born 7 inches 5 cun tall, long earlobes, arms over the knees, eyes that can be seen through the ears, thick lips” .
I must say, the description of Liu Bei in the novel is a bit “excessive”.
In “Romance of the Three Kingdoms – Book 32”, Liu Bei also appears with the appearance of “born with a body height of 7 inches and 5 cun, two long earlobes, both hands over the knees, phoenix eyes going up”.
In “The Book of the Later Han – Book 75”, Lu Bu scolded Liu Bei for being “big-eared” before he died.
From there, it can be concluded that Liu Bei’s appearance is quite larger than that of a normal person. In particular, the height of “7 inches and 5 cun” (based on the unit of 1 inch during the Three Kingdoms period, which was 24 cm, Liu Bei’s height was more than 1.8 meters) and long arms above the knee are definitely exaggerated tactics in the depiction. Describe people.
Through AI processing, we get an extremely “handsome” and youthful Liu Bei, with the familiar beard from the movie, not-so-big ears and phoenix eyes as described in the novel. . His appearance can captivate any girl he meets.
2. Martial Saint Quan Vu
Guan Yu ranked first among the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty. He is revered by Chinese folk as a popular culture model, a symbol of justice, courage, kindness and faith. That’s why we see many Chinese people or in temples often have statues of Guan Yu, also known as Guan Gong.
In “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, Guan Yu is described: “His body is 9 inches tall (more than 2 meters), his hair is 2 inches long (more than 48cm); face often frowning, lips thick; phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows; The appearance is dignified and majestic.
In “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, the author does not describe Guan Yu’s appearance in detail, only borrowing a word from Zhuge Liang praising him as an outstanding, strong and talented person.
In “Three Kingdoms Commentary” it is mentioned that Guan Yu’s “face like purple jade” and his beautiful long beard are true.
Through AI, the Martial Saint appeared with a resolute face, thick black eyebrows furrowed as if in concentration, an iconic long beard, and an aura more majestic than others.
3. “Enemies of ten thousand people” Truong Phi
Truong Phi possesses the most famous martial arts skills that everyone knows in the Three Kingdoms. His appearance in movies gives others the impression of a ferocious general with a constantly grimace and arched eyebrows. Although he is brave, he loses some of his composure and handsomeness on his face. like two sworn brothers Liu Bei and Guan Yu.
In “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, Truong Phi appears: “The body is 8 inches tall (more than 1.92m), the leopard’s head is wide open, the whiskers are curled up, fierce like a tiger, the voice is like a thunderbolt, when it does that it’s like a running horse.” .
However, in “Three Kingdoms” and “Three Kingdoms Commentary” there is no mention of Truong Phi’s appearance.
AI has “created” two creations of Truong Phi:
One, strong and determined, full of masculine temperament, equally handsome. Many people still don’t believe that Truong Phi has such an “attractive” appearance.
Second, the shape is somewhat similar to the one in the movies, the body is slightly fat and round, the eyebrows and mustache are shaggy, the eyes are wide open, looking very fierce.
