Why was Zhu Yuanzhang able to become emperor in troubled times?

Whether it is from folk picture books or court paintings handed down, they all show that Zhu Yuanzhang had an extremely long chin, big ears, and a face full of pockmarks. From the perspective of physiognomy, this type of person is very confident, has resolute and decisive execution and perseverance, and is best at seizing opportunities and achieving success. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was not handsome, he liked people to draw him. There is still a story about his portrait circulating today:

Legend has it that after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he summoned many masters of painting to paint his portrait.

The first painter who entered the palace was very honest and painted the portrait exactly like the real person. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw his ugly image, he became furious and had the painter executed.

The second one was clever enough to paint Zhu Yuanzhang as a handsome man with regular features and a dignified appearance. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he realized that it was not him. The painter did not dare to tell the truth and died.

The third one figured out Zhu Yuanzhang’s thoughts, pursuing similarity in spirit, grasping the macro level, making micro adjustments, and approaching a state between similarity and dissimilarity. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang was delighted to see that he had an extraordinary appearance, and ordered a generous reward for the painter.
