When did people start living in Japan?

In fact, when the Yamato nation was formed and where its ancestors came from has long been impossible to verify in vague epics and legends. What is certain now is that as early as a certain time in BC, a continuous and growing migration to Japan began. Most of the immigrants are Huangpi Mongolians, mainly composed of Tunguses from Siberia and Northeast China, Malays from Nanyang Islands, Indosinians from Indochina Peninsula, Wuyue people from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and Han and Korean nationalities. They descended along the Korean peninsula, crossed the strait and boarded this volcanic archipelago at the end of East Asia, where the first light always rises.

1979, Kenzaburo Birishi, honorary professor of anthropology in osaka kyoiku university, Japan, first published a new theory-"The birthplace of Japanese is in Yunnan Province, China".

1984 On February 23rd, Professor Niaoyuexian, who devoted himself to the study of social human culture, announced: "A field trip was made to the ethnic minorities in mountainous areas of Thailand (northern Thailand), which were thought to come from Yunnan, and it was found that all babies had birthmarks on their buttocks". Professor Bird Yuexian also emphasized this discovery: "The birthmark in Japanese constitution is from Yunnan, which is circumstantial evidence that this area is the birthplace of Japanese."

1988 In September, the Japanese TV Workers' Union arrived in Yunnan with the task of filming the origin of the Japanese.

Since then, the inference of Japanese scholars has changed from "the Japanese originated in Yunnan" to "the ancestors of Japanese are Yunnan ethnic minorities", and its scope and core are basically defined as Yi, Hani and Dai.

The reason why we hold the theory of "Yi" is because experts such as Shinichi Kenzaburo, Sasaki Takashi and Watanabe found that the Torch Festival of Sani people (Yi branch) in Shilin and other places is similar to the Dream Blue Festival in Japan, that is, the Torch Festival was also held on the same day in Mu Yi Peninsula, Japan, but in Kobe, Kyoto and Osaka in Mu Yi Peninsula in southern Japan.

The reason why we hold the Hani theory is that some Japanese people are surprised to find that the Hani people in Yunnan, China and the Yamato people in Japan have similar beliefs about animism, especially among the gods, the most authoritative "luminous god" of the Japanese people and the "Api Meiyan" of the Hani people are women and sun gods; Japan worships the "Valley God" and regards cherry blossoms as the national flower. Hani people also worship the "Valley God" and regard cherry trees and cherry blossoms as gods. ...

The viewpoint of "Dai Lun" still comes from scholars such as Bird Yue Xian, Sasaki and Watanabe. For the ethnic minorities who are considered to be from the mountainous areas of Thailand in southern Yunnan, they conducted a field trip. The results showed that all babies had birthmarks on their buttocks, and birthmarks were also found among the Dai people in Xishuangbanna. The so-called "tire spot" refers to the blue markings on the baby's buttocks, waist, back and shoulders. The reason is that there are melanocytes in the dermis of the skin, which gradually disappear with age. Japanese people have the similarity of this kind of fetal spot. Many people in Kyushu and Honshu in western Japan have type A blood type, which is the same as that in Yunnan and mainland Thailand ... (Yunnan Daily Daguan Weekly reported on June 5438+065438+1October 15, 2000).

From 1996, some scholars from China and Japan formed a "Sino-Japanese investigation team" to conduct a three-year comparative study of human bones unearthed in Jiangsu Province of China from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Western Han Dynasty (that is, from the 6th century BC to the AD 1 century) and those unearthed in Kitakyushu and Yamaguchi Prefecture of Japan from the rope pattern to the yayoi period. After DNA, examination and analysis, the sequence of the two is consistent in some parts, which proves that they originated from the same ancestor. In other words, the ancestors of the Japanese are more certain to be China people who are far away from the southern border.

China and Japan are not only a species, but also a family. (Japan's Sankei Shimbun reported in March 1999)

According to folklore, after Qin Shihuang unified China, in order to seek the elixir of life, he sent Xu Fu to lead a huge fleet of 3000 boys and girls to form 50 ships across Japan, looking for the elixir of life. The result was not found. Father Cui wants to go home. One of his men reminded him that you didn't finish the work assigned by the emperor, and you would only die if you went back. Why don't you stay? Chui fook and his party stayed.

At this time, Japan was still in the Stone Age. Most Japanese have long hair, tied to their heads with ropes and tied to their foreheads with white cloth. To this day, the Japanese still like to tie a white cloth strip on their foreheads during festivals. Most of them are fishermen with tattoos on their faces. Fishermen go fishing and think tattoos are a good way to lure fish. The clothes a woman wears are just a piece of cloth with a hole in her neck, just like a Mexican cloak. People are peaceful and will not be jealous. Practice polygamy. Generally, a man can marry four or five wives. Japanese people like to drink and grab food with their hands like Malays and Indians. At that time, they had no meat to eat. They usually eat fish, vegetables and rice. It is said that at that time, Xu Fu found that Japanese people lived to be 80 to 90 years old, and some even lived to be 100 years old. He also found that in addition to planting rice and fishing, they were particularly good at witchcraft, prophecy, astrology and divination with clay.
