Why are the four major islands of Japan called Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu and Hokkaido respectively?

Hokkaido, formerly known as Riccardo Chailly, was once inhabited by Ainu people, and has long been occupied by indigenous Xia Yi people. /kloc-At the end of 0/6, Songqian crossed the sea to build a floating mountain city, covering an area. After the Russians went south, they explored Hokkaido, Kuril Islands, Sakhalin Island and other places for national defense needs, and soon Hokkaido became the direct jurisdiction of the shogunate. 1868 (the first year of Meiji), the new Meiji government decided to set up the Boxuan Academy in Xiayi, and later renamed it Boxuan Academy.

1869, when the Meiji government asked to rename "Xia Yidi", Takeshiro Matsuura used northern place names such as "North" (きた) and "カィナー" (the local name of Ainu people). It was finally adopted, but considering that Donghai Road, Nanhai Road and Xihai Road in five provinces and seven roads in the era of French customization were changed to Hokkaido.

Honshu

Honshu Island is one of the earliest developed areas in Japan and the birthplace of Yamato nationality and Japanese culture. Ancient studies have found that primitive humans from northeast China entered the Korean peninsula hundreds of thousands of years ago and some migrated to Honshu Island. Archaeological and anthropological views hold that the Japanese nation is mainly composed of Tungusic people in East Asia, ancient Zhongyuan people, a small number of Wuyue people in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, a small number of Malays and Indosinians in Indochina Peninsula, and gradually migrated to Japan to merge and evolve.

Since 1996, the investigation team composed of Chinese and Japanese archaeologists, anthropologists and medical experts has repeatedly confirmed the above conclusions. Japan was migrated from the northeast nomadic people who believed in Shamanism in ancient times. Due to the unique terrain of Japan, nomadic people who moved into Japan changed their original way of life and formed a harmonious nation with fishing and hunting as the mainstay. These people established Izumo, Evil Matai and other countries, and a large number of Central Plains people moved to Japan. Since the end of the Warring States Period in China, a large number of Yan, Qi and Chu people fled to the Korean Peninsula and Japan. There is also an immigration route from Zhejiang directly to Japan.

Shikoku

During the Warring States period, the island of Ede was the fief of the bee beard family, and the bee beard family received a salary of10.8 million stone. In the battle of Guanyuan, Bee beard's family belonged to Xiliang Army, while his son belonged to Dongliang Army. Finally, the site of the bee beard family was not cut. Similarly, the original Tokushima city can be found in Tokushima. Tokushima City was established in Tokushima Ye Ping, which was influenced by Yoshinokawa. The most economically developed area in Tokushima is here. Because it faces Wakayama in Honshu across the Jiyi Waterway, Tokushima's geographical position is extremely important. No matter whether the enemy is killed from Jiyi or Awaji Island, Abo will be the first defensive barrier.

Kagawa Prefecture is very close to the garrison and sowing mill on Honshu Island, and the attack direction of these two places is often only 40 kilometers from Cangfu to Otsu! And from Yu Ye in Eryu Peninsula in front of the compilation to Takamatsu (this Takamatsu is Takamatsu on Shikoku Island, not Takamatsu in the compilation of flooded Yuchai Xiuji), it is more than 20 kilometers! In Xiangchuan County, there is a special historical site, the National Temple, and in the south of Takamatsu City, there is a famous tourist resort, Lilin Park. By the way, the base of the famous salt irrigation army in the Warring States period (in fact, there is no original Japanese word in Chinese characters) is also here!

Kochi Prefecture was the hometown of Tosa during the Warring States Period, and Tosa lived in our home (also a translator, grew up in Sogabe). At that time, there were many Tosa clans, and Benshan, Anyi, Zuo Zongtang, Nakamura and Yitai were all fighting with each other. It was not until Chousokabe Motochika, who was later called "an outsider of Tosa" (an able person of Tosa), inherited Tosa that the four countries were unified. Later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi won the world. Chousogabe Morichika joined the western army, and finally his Tosa territory was confiscated, and he became a ronin. During the war in Osaka, he entered Osaka Castle and finally died heroically in the summer battle. These are all later stories. In Tosa, there are traces of Kochi city to visit. In the southwest of Tosa, you can go through 40,000 mountains and go to Inomatsubara. I hear it's very good!

Nine administrative divisions in ancient China

In ancient times, the Japanese called Bamboo Island Kyushu (つくししま). In ancient times, the island could be divided into nine countries, which is also the origin of its name. These countries are: Yuezaki (in the northwest and middle of present Fukuoka Prefecture), Yuezaki (in the south of present Fukuoka Prefecture), Fayue (in present Saga Prefecture and Nagasaki Prefecture), Fayue (in present Kumamoto Prefecture), Toyohara (in the east of present Fukuoka Prefecture and in the northwest of present Oita Prefecture), Toyohara (in present Oita Prefecture) and Japan (in present Miyagi Prefecture).

Extended data:

Japan is located in the east of Eurasia and the northwest of the Pacific Ocean. Its territory consists of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu and more than 7,200 other small islands, so it is also known as the "country of thousands of islands". Japan has a land area of about 377,900 square kilometers. Japan is bounded by the Pacific Ocean in the east and south, the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea in the west, the Sea of Okhotsk in the north, and faces North Korea, South Korea, China, Russia, the Philippines and other countries across the sea. Hokkaido, Japan has one of the most famous fishing grounds in the world-Hokkaido Fishing Ground, which is formed by the confluence of Thousand Island Cold Current and Japanese Warm Current.
