Who are the ancestors of the Japanese?

Some people say that Japanese ancestors came from China, but there is some truth. Let's talk about the ancestors of the Japanese today.

The Japanese call themselves the Yamato nation. There are more than 65438+ billion people in Japan, nearly 200 million people, who use Japanese, which is a pseudonym pinyin character created by Chinese characters.

According to relevant records, in ancient times, the Japanese mainland was connected with the Asian continent. Well, so the aborigines of Japan moved from the mainland. The descendants of these immigrants are Ainu people, a minority in northern Japan.

After Japan separated from the mainland, some people from Siberia and northeastern China, Malays from Nanyang and Wuyue people from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China migrated to various islands in Japan by sea.

Thousands of years ago, Koreans and Han Chinese immigrated to Japan. These people merged with the indigenous inhabitants of Japan, and then * * * together to form the present Japanese. Around the 4th century AD, the Yamato people from Nara and its surrounding areas unified the Japanese islands, and the name of the Yamato people began.
