The origin of the Japanese

As for the national origin of Japanese island residents, the academic circles generally believe that Japanese island residents began in the Neolithic Age. The earliest Japanese residents were Tungusic people who moved from the northern mainland, and later Malays crossed the sea from the south. Since the second half of 5000 BC, China and Koreans have been migrating to Japan. From the Neolithic Age to the 2nd century BC, Japan was called the Age of Rope Culture in archaeology. Stone tools and bone tools are used for hunting and fishing, and female earth dolls are unearthed in vertical caves (General History of the World, edited by People's Publishing House and Zhou Yiliang, 1962).

I want to point out that the migration of Chinese people from the Asian continent to the main island of Japan in history is not limited to one time, nor is it limited to the second half of BC 1000 century. In fact, the question of where the Japanese came from is well documented in China's ancient books, especially Shan Hai Jing. Shan Hai Jing is one of the most important geographical documents in human history. It records the distribution of mountains, rivers, landforms, products and nationalities in China and its surrounding areas, as well as the corresponding historical stories, covering the Zhou Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, Xia Dynasty and Pre-Xia Period (10,000 years ago). Among them, the Zhou Dynasty document "Beijing in the Sea" clearly records: "Gaiguo is in the south of Juyan and the north of Japan. It is a swallow. " Other chapters in The Classic of Mountains and Seas record the story of China people migrating to the East China Sea Islands many times. According to the ancient information that can be seen and interpreted above, China residents have at least the following main activities to migrate to Japanese island. First, the migration activities in the Yu era: an investigation of the islands in the East China Sea.

I pointed out in the monographs such as Notes on the Geographical Restoration of Shan Hai Jing (to be published) and Reading the Full Color Album of Shan Hai Jing with Classic Pictures (Sun, Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House, 2003) that Shan Hai Jing Wu Zang Shan Jing was a white paper on the investigation of land and resources in Yu Dynasty (2200 BC), among which Dongshan Jing was the third investigation route. Interested readers can refer to the 42-square-meter giant painting "The Legend of Yushan Mountain" (abbreviated on the title page of Classic Illustration of Mountains and Seas).

Obviously, the great geographical discovery feat in Yu era (the earliest and largest geographical investigation activity in human history) cannot rule out the possibility of accompanying China residents to migrate to the East China Sea islands (including the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago).
