Why are there people on the island of Japan?

Have there always been Japanese primitive people on the island, or immigrants from China?

A: According to anthropological research, in fact, before China people knew about today's Japanese region, there were traces of human activities there. The ancient humans in Japan are mainly Yamato, Xiayi and others. Later, Xiayi and other ethnic minorities were gradually assimilated by Yamato. Until now, the main race in Japan is the Yamato nationality.

In addition, there are several anthropological theories about the origin of human beings on Japanese islands.

First, in prehistoric times, after human beings migrated from Africa to Asia, some of them migrated from the mainland to the island.

Second, also in prehistoric times, after a branch of human beings moved out of Africa, it went from the sea to Australia, and then part of it went from Australia to today's Japanese archipelago.

However, the above two statements still lack relevant archaeological evidence.

There is also a saying that the Japanese archipelago used to be only a part of the mainland, but it was later divided by geological tectonic movements. The aborigines in that area were separated with the division of the mainland.

If you are an immigrant from China, when did you move there?

A: China immigrated to Japan mainly after the Three Kingdoms.

However, there is still no relevant archaeological evidence about Xu Fudong's crossing.

Are the Japanese descendants of 500 boys and 500 girls in the Qin Dynasty?

Answer: If it is true that Xu Fudong crossed the border to Japan, there are people of Central Plains descent among Japanese today.

Have the Japanese always used Chinese characters?

Answer: No. Japanese has existed for a long time. However, in a long historical period, Japan never had its own writing. Later, an ancient Japanese emperor transformed some Chinese characters and formed the original Japanese characters. Later, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties in China, due to the expansion of Sino-Japanese exchanges, the Japanese brought a lot of Japanese culture back to Japan. As a result, Chinese characters are more integrated into Japanese.

It is said that there are about 2000 ~ 4000 commonly used Chinese characters in modern Japanese.

In addition, Japan is a country that is very good at absorbing. Now, you can often see many traces of English in Japanese. Unlike China, Chinese is Chinese and English is English.
