Do you have the details of Xu Fu? The more the better?

Xu Fu is a native of Langge County in Qin Dynasty and an alchemist.

Qin Shihuang hoped to live forever, and Xu Fu said there were fairy mountains in the sea. So Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to lead thousands of boys and girls to the sea to seek immortality. However, Trevor's song disappeared.

There are several statements about Xu Fu's whereabouts:

I came to Japan for the sake of Emperor Jimmu, the existing tomb of Xu Fu in Japan.

Go to Ryukyu Islands.

Just arrived at an island in Bohai Bay.

Xu Fu, namely Xu Shi, was born in Langya (now Ganyu, Jiangsu) and was a famous alchemist in the Qin Dynasty. He is knowledgeable, familiar with medicine, astronomy, navigation and other knowledge, and sympathetic to the people and ready to help others, so he enjoys a high reputation among the people in coastal areas.

In the 28th year of the first emperor (2 19 BC), Qin Shihuang traveled eastward for the first time and climbed Mount Tai to praise Germany. Then go through Huangxian County and Yuechui County, climb the mountain, climb Zhifu Mountain (now Yantai), and go south to Langyatai for 3 months. During this period, Qin Shihuang saw a mirage in Haizhou Bay, thinking that it was made by a fairy, so he sent Xu Fu to lead boys and girls to the sea in a building boat to seek the elixir of life. Chui fook went to sea for several years, seeking medicine.

Nine years later (2 10 years ago), Qin Shihuang traveled eastward again and found Xu Fu. Xu Fu was afraid that Qin Shihuang would blame him, pretending that the mackerel in the sea was very powerful, and it was difficult for ships to get medicine near Xianshan. They must send excellent shooters to shoot mackerel before they can go ashore to get medicine. Emperor Taishi once again sent Xu Fu with boys and girls, as well as more than 500 skilled craftsmen, warriors and shooters, with food seeds, food, utensils and fresh water. Go to Xianshan to seek medicine in the sea. Xu Fudong didn't get the "elixir of life", but discovered the "Guangze Plain" (Kyushu, Japan) after landing in Kumanopu. I didn't find the elixir, so I stayed here for fear of being killed when I went back, and never went back. Xu Fu and others spread farming knowledge and fishing, forging, salt making and other technologies to Japanese aborigines in Jiuzhou Island and other places, and also taught the Japanese people advanced Qin culture such as medical technology, which promoted social development and was deeply respected by the Japanese people. Japan respects Xu Fu as "the god of agriculture" and "the god of medicine". There are traces of Xu Fu's activities in Wakayama, Saga, Hiroshima, Aichi, Akita and Mount Fuji. Saga, Shinomiya and other shrines regard Xu Fufeng as a deity, and hold huge sacrificial activities every year. In order to carry forward the spirit of blessing, China and Japan established the National Blessing Association, and Lianyungang, Longkou, Jiaonan, Cangzhou, Suzhou, Cixi, Shinomiya, Saga, Osaka, Fuji Yoshida, Kagoshima, Tokyo and other places also established the Blessing Association. In recent years, works and literary works about Xu Fu have been published, and plays about Xu Fu have been put on the stage.

Bazhang Island is located 300 kilometers south of Tokyo, the capital of Japan. Affected by the northward warm current of the Pacific Ocean, the climate of Bazhang Island is very warm, commonly known as "Hawaii closest to Tokyo".

Now from Tokyo to Bazhang Island, it takes 1 hour by boat and1hour by plane. Every year, more than 160000 tourists come to visit Bazhang Island with a population of only 10000.

Standing on the south coast of Bazhang Island, overlooking the green sea and browsing the history of Bazhang Island, you will immediately be surprised by the powerful influence of the outside world on this "island". For example, Zhang existed in the 12 century, and the highest silk products have been used as tributes; There is an ancient legend of Xu Fu. Who taught islanders how to weave and dye silk? Thinking of this, I saw a group of ancient Asians sailing freely at sea.

In the ancient history of Japan, especially after 10 century, there were two samurai groups, Shiping held a white flag and Genji held a red flag. These two powerful samurai groups have played a great role in Japanese history. They replaced aristocratic politics at that time and became the center of military politics.

/kloc-In the mid-20th century, Ping's influence was still very strong, Genji was defeated in the war between Ping's, and 17-year-old young military commanders were lonely souls and ghosts by the sword. However, perhaps it is the reason why "samurai cherish samurai". Ping Ai Cai, instead of killing the man who is famous for his burly figure and strong bow, exiled him. The exile is Izu Oshima, including the present Bazhang Island.

All parts of Japan have their own folk songs. There is a "casting net minor" in Hokkaido, a "Sato minor" in Niigata Prefecture and a "Somi minor" in Bazhang Island. The lyrics of this Somi minor are remarkable.

"The south wind is blowing! Everybody out! "

"Wedding grass clogs tied with red rope flowers!"

To understand the meaning of this lyric, we must first know the folklore circulating in Bazhang Island.

"That was a long time ago. Yuan Wei Chao was defeated in the Battle of Baoyuan and exiled to Izu Oshima. With his military courage, he quickly surrendered to Izu Islands ... "(At that time, Yuan had already handed over Miyake Island, and when he wanted to go south again, the island owner lied to him that Izu had no other island. The source looked at him evasively, so he continued to sail south.

They broke through the torrent of Kurosawa (Kurosawa is not a river, but a current) and reached an island. I was surprised when I got off the boat at the seaside. There are many double grass clogs with red rope flowers on them! It's all women's grass It is said that this island is called "Women's Protection Island". The source is confused about North Korea. A clever young woman answered his question.

"Since ancient times, people here have said that if men and women live on the same island, Poseidon will come out to make trouble, so we can't live with men on the male island, which is 20 miles away from here ..." Yuan learned that women who protect the island and men on the male island only meet once a year on a south-facing day. He told the young woman that it was superstition. In order to get rid of the superstition on this island, I married you and let the women on the island know that no one will make trouble, which is very good. what do you think?

The young woman blushed after hearing this, but she agreed. They gave birth to twin boys, and nothing bothered them. From then on, the woman who protected the island lived with the men on the island. "

This passage is a bit long. It is said that this legendary female island is now Bazhang Island, and the male island is adjacent to Qingdao. People often say that "heroes are lewd", and the behavior at that time seemed quite bold. Yuan Wei Dynasty is a "tragic hero" that the Japanese like very much, so these literary touches are also easy to accept.

In fact, the intriguing legends of Bazhang Island all have their backgrounds. That's the novel Toon said Bowing to Zhang Yue in the Edo period. The author Takizawa Maqin was born in a samurai family. At the age of 24, he devoted himself to literary creation.

In the first half of the edo period, the publishing centers were in Kyoto and Osaka. In the second half of the year, the publishing industry in Edo also flourished. The author has also developed from an amateur writer to a professional writer. This is really welcome for Takizawa Maqin, who has a strong personality.

Closer to home, the appearance of Xu Fu on Bazhang Island is a part of the dialogue between the young woman whose source is North Korea and the woman who protects the island written by Ma Qin. Because I was Japanese in the Edo period, it was a bit confusing. The dialogue is as follows:

"(The answer is North Korea's question) As for when the island began to be inhabited, there is no clear record. According to legend, in ancient times, the foreign emperor Qin Shihuang came to look for the immortal elixir ... "

"Qin Shihuang summoned Xu Fu, built ten ships according to his requirements, and asked him to bring 500 virgins, gold and silver jewelry and food equipment. Chui fook's boat came to a seaside in Japan called Kumano. He (Xu Fu) stayed in Kumano, leaving the Virgin who followed him on this island and the Virgin on the island mountain 30 miles away ... "

So the people living in Nvhu Island and South Island turned out to be descendants of Qin people who came to the East China Sea by boat with Xu Fu. They are descendants of boys and girls who participated in the sacred cause of finding the elixir for the first emperor. At least in Takizawa Ma Qin's literary works. Instead, "they raise silkworms and spin silk while singing."

By the way, few people lived to be 60 in the Edo period, while Ma Qin lived to be 82 and Bei Zhai lived to be 90. They left many works to future generations.

There used to be a Silk Road, which started from Chang 'an in the Tang Dynasty and went west to ancient Rome. However, even before BC, it seems that there was a Maritime Silk Road that started from Chinese mainland and then went eastward, crossing Korea and reaching Japan. Akira Kurosawa mentioned in the legend of Bazhang Island is a warm current flowing northward along the Pacific Ocean. People make full use of ocean currents and monsoon to bring advanced culture and various technologies to the "Fusang" country.

Xu Fuchuan in Bazhang Island is only a part of the legend about Xu Fu circulating in various parts of Japan, from which we can get a glimpse of the spectacular communication scenes that have happened in ancient times.

Finally, in order to improve the popularity of Bazhang Island, here is a brief introduction of salty grass. Halophyte is a perennial grass of Umbelliferae, which is native to the warm coast of Japan. Its leaves are shiny, and its stems and leaves are edible. As soon as the leaves of salty grass are picked, they will grow new leaves, so its Japanese name is "Tomorrow Leaf". Salty grass is delicious and nutritious. The people of Bazhang Island said, "What Fu Laixu is looking for is actually salty grass."
