Using AI to redraw the portraits of Guan Yu and Diao Chan, the ending surprised those who had seen the movie

Not only that, AI can also rely on ancient paintings or documents to `draw` portraits of many famous figures in history.

What will Guan Yu’s portrait look like after being `drawn` by AI?

Recently, Chinese experts used AI-based deep learning to `recreate` the faces of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Liu Bei

Liu Bei, also known as Han Chieu Lieu (161 – 223), courtesy name Xuan De, was the founding Emperor of the state of Gui Han (Shu Han), a politician and military leader in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei’s image was built on film.

Liu Bei is described in the book Three Kingdoms as being seven and a half meters tall, without a beard, very large ears, and very long arms reaching to his knees.

The photo of Liu Bei reconstructed by AI is completely different from the image in the movie.

In the picture of Liu Bei recreated by AI from an ancient painting, this emperor is completely different from the characters in movies revolving around the theme of the Three Kingdoms.

Guan Yu

Guan Yu (? – 220), also known as Guan Gong, courtesy name Van Truong, was a famous general during the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period in China.

The character Guan Yu was created in the film to have a dignified appearance.

In folklore, Guan Yu is often considered a sworn brother to Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and the leader of the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty.

In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, writer La Guanzhong describes the character Guan Yu: `Huyen Duc saw that he was nine meters tall, his beard was two meters long, his face was as red as gac, his lips were painted with lipstick, and his eyes were phoenix.

Guan Yu built by AI is quite fierce.

AI relied on old descriptions and paintings to create a portrait of Guan Yu.

Zhang Fei

Truong Phi (163 – 221), courtesy name Ich Duc, Romance of the Three Kingdoms recorded as Duc Duc, was a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period in Chinese history.

Truong Phi’s image in movies.

Truong Phi is from Trac District (now Trac Chau, Bao Dinh prefecture, Hebei province).

Truong Phi’s face reconstructed by AI can really make others panic when they first meet.

Truong Phi is described in the book Tam Quoc Chi as `eight meters tall, with a leopard head, round eyes, upside-down tiger beard, and swallow jaw`.

Zhuge Liang

Zhuge Liang (181 – 234), alias Khong Minh, alias Ngoa Long, was Prime Minister, founding father, politician, diplomat, military commander, educator, and also a developer.

Zhuge Liang in the movie has a handsome, dignified face.

Zhuge Liang helped Liu Bei build the Shu Han dynasty, forming the Three Kingdoms cauldron, the Shu-Wu alliance against Wei.

In the photo `drawn` by AI, Zhuge Liang does not look like a god.

According to Tran Tho’s presentation `Zhuge Liang’s Collection`, Zhuge Liang describes Zhuge Liang: `There are few such talented people, with a domineering spirit, a body eight meters tall, and a majestic appearance that is different from ordinary people.`

However, in the photo `drawn` by AI, Zhuge Liang does not look like a god.

Relief crew

Dieu Thuyen in movies is always a beauty with a beauty that tilts the water.

Diao Chan, also known as Diao Chan, is a famous beautiful beauty appearing in Chinese folk legends.

AI restored Dieu Thuyen’s face with an extremely beautiful appearance.

With a beauty that is compared to Holding the Moon (making the moon shy and hiding behind the clouds), Diao Chan is considered one of the Four Great Chinese Beauties in contemporary Chinese culture.
