Are the Japanese descendants of Xu Fu in Qin Dynasty?

There is no conclusion about the national origin of the Japanese. Most scholars believe that it is a cross between people from different sources. The Japanese are the only mixed-race people in human history. As early as the late Paleolithic period, when the Japanese archipelago was still connected with the Asian continent, primitive people lived here, and their descendants are the Ainu people today. About 654.38 million years ago, the Japanese archipelago began to separate from the Asian continent, and many immigrants moved in from the sea one after another, which became the foundation of the Yamato nation. They mainly include Tungusic people from Siberia and northeastern China, Malays from Nanyang Islands, Indosinians from Indian zhina Peninsula, Wuyue people from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and Han Chinese and Koreans who moved in around A.D. Because of the different time and place of settlement of each group of immigrants, although they have formed a unified nation after thousands of years of mixed living, there are still many local differences in traditional culture, lifestyle and physical characteristics. Thousands of years before BC, the inhabitants of Japanese islands lived by fishing, hunting, gathering or slash-and-burn agriculture, which historically belonged to the rope culture era. From the 3rd century BC to the 2nd century AD, Chinese mainland's metal tools, kiln-fired pottery and rice cultivation techniques were introduced into Kyushu, Japan through the Korean Peninsula, which was the Yayoi cultural era. In the 3rd ~ 4th century, the Yamato State was established with Nara as the center, which unified all the tribes in Japan. Since then, it has been called Yamato Nation. In the 7th-8th century, Japan absorbed the culture of agriculture, handicrafts, architecture, Buddhism, etc. in China's prosperous Tang Dynasty, and at the same time absorbed the culture of Korea and India, and its social economy developed rapidly. After the Meiji Restoration, a large number of European and American cultures were absorbed, forming a great fusion of eastern and western cultures.

From 500 to 1600.

Japan is a mysterious place on the edge of culture, and the nearest place to the Asian continent is 100. Due to the isolation of geography and culture, Japan has formed a unique culture and is rarely influenced by the outside world. About equivalent to the Middle Ages in Europe, Japan's advanced culture began to concentrate on Honshu Island at the northern end of Japan's inland sea. Going east through Hakone-machiyama is Kanto, which is an alluvial plain and the largest rice producing area in Japan. The northern and western parts of Kanto are separated by a border with the Japanese aborigines named Xiayi, who have been living on the land outside this border since the Neolithic Age.

In the sixth century, the Yamato court became the main regime. An independent tribe (so-called clan) is a person who holds real power behind the throne. The tribal leaders formed an aristocratic class, vying for control of the land and the throne.

In 530, Suvo ruled the regime at that time and cultivated the first great historical figure-Shoto Kutaishi. His vigorous reform laid the foundation of Japanese culture for more than 1000 years. In 644, the regime was transferred from the Soviet Union to the Heian period (794- 1 185). The new leader forced 645 years of industrialization reform, aiming at redistributing rice planting areas, formulating agricultural production tax and re-dividing the country into provinces. However, the influence and control of the royal family are beyond reach in many places, and the real ruling power has begun to shift to the hands of extended families, most of which have emerged by planting rice. The conflict between families led to the civil war and the rise of the samurai class.

The experience of medieval western Europe was also staged here. The central government of Japan finally collapsed, the local aristocratic forces expanded, and there were conflicts with barbarians in the border areas. The culture dominated by samurai elite is also born under the synthesis of these factors. Soldiers on the battlefield become soldiers who serve their masters, and their status and role are similar to those of European knights. At the end of the twelfth century, the military government took over the throne from the nobles, and the military government was led by the general.

A warrior must follow the warrior's code, just as a European knight follows its code. The basis of warrior norms is loyalty to the master. Soldiers will accept leadership and protection. Relatively speaking, they must absolutely obey the master's command and sacrifice for the master's benefit at any time. Warriors attach great importance to their origins, strive to maintain family traditions, and often try their best to meet the requirements to get praise. A samurai must show strong demeanor, not a little cowardice and timidity. Soldiers expect to fight until they die a glorious death. They will fight to the end as long as there is breath left.

After the civil war, Japan was controlled by a new clan, that is, the so-called Kamakura era (1 185- 1333). The Mongols attempted to invade Japan twice in 1274 and 128 1 respectively, but both failed. The seasonal gust that caused great losses to the Mongolian fleet is therefore called "kamikaze".

The origin of the Japanese

There are some records in China's ancient books, especially Shan Hai Jing. Shan Hai Jing is one of the most important geographical documents in human history. It records the distribution of mountains, rivers, landforms, products and nationalities in China and its surrounding areas, as well as the corresponding historical stories, covering the Zhou Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, Xia Dynasty and Pre-Xia Period (10,000 years ago). Among them, the Zhou Dynasty document "Beijing in the Sea" records: "Gaiguo is in the south of Juyan and north of Japan. It is a swallow. " Other chapters in The Classic of Mountains and Seas tell the story of China people migrating to islands in the East China Sea many times. For details, please refer to the article "Are Japanese descendants of Emperor Yan? .

Are Japanese descendants of Emperor Yan?

Abstract: China people have migrated from the Asian continent to Japan many times, and Xu Fudong's crossing the sea to Japan was the most famous one. Prior to this, the Japanese archipelago was visited in the Yu era, approached or reached the Japanese archipelago in the Huangdi era, and the girl tribes in the Yandi era migrated and took refuge in the Japanese archipelago. They constitute the main source of Japanese Yamato nationality's genes, and the girl has become the prototype of the sun goddess Zhao Tianshen revered by the Japanese royal family.

As we all know, the story of Xu Fudong crossing the river is the first historical event about the Japanese and their cultural development. In 2 19 BC, Qin Shihuang made an east tour of Shandong Peninsula, and ordered the alchemist Xu Fu to lead 3,000 boys and girls, carrying many utensils, grain and crop seeds. Cross the sea to seek immortality. Xu Fu and his party did not return after arriving in Japan Island, so Chinese civilization, culture and technology were implanted in Japan, and Japan entered the Yayoi culture era from the rope culture era.

However, regarding the national origin of Japanese island residents, the academic circles generally say that Japanese island residents began to live in the Neolithic Age. The earliest Japanese residents were Tungusic people who moved in from the northern mainland, and later Malays crossed the sea from the south. Since the second half of 5000 BC, China and Koreans have been migrating to Japan. From the Neolithic Age to the 2nd century BC, Japan was called the Age of Rope Culture in archaeology. Stone tools and bone tools are used for hunting and fishing, and female earth dolls are unearthed in vertical caves (General History of the World, edited by People's Publishing House and Zhou Yiliang, 1962).

I want to point out that the migration of Chinese people from the Asian continent to the main island of Japan in history is not limited to one time, nor is it limited to the second half of BC 1000 century. In fact, the question of where the Japanese came from is well documented in China's ancient books, especially Shan Hai Jing. Shan Hai Jing is one of the most important geographical documents in human history. It records the distribution of mountains, rivers, landforms, products and nationalities in China and its surrounding areas, as well as the corresponding historical stories, covering the Zhou Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, Xia Dynasty and Pre-Xia Period (10,000 years ago). Among them, the Zhou Dynasty document "Beijing in the Sea" clearly records: "Gaiguo is in the south of Juyan and the north of Japan. It is a swallow. " Other chapters in The Classic of Mountains and Seas record the story of China people migrating to the East China Sea Islands many times. According to the above ancient information that we can see and interpret at present, China residents have at least the following major activities to migrate to the Japanese island.

First, the migration activities in the Yu era: an investigation of the islands in the East China Sea.

I pointed out in the monographs such as Notes on the Geographical Restoration of Shan Hai Jing (to be published) and Reading the Full Color Album of Shan Hai Jing with Classic Pictures (Sun, Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House, 2003) that Shan Hai Jing Wu Zang Shan Jing was a white paper on the investigation of land and resources in Yu Dynasty (2200 BC), among which Dongshan Jing was the third investigation route. Interested readers can refer to the 42-square-meter giant painting "The Legend of Yushan Mountain" (abbreviated on the title page of Classic Illustration of Mountains and Seas).

Obviously, the great geographical discovery feat in Yu era (the earliest and largest geographical investigation activity in human history) cannot rule out the possibility of accompanying China residents to migrate to the East China Sea islands (including the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago).

Second, the migration activities in the era of the Yellow Emperor: floating islands

When I wrote the book Searching for Ancient Information (China International Broadcasting Press, 1998) in 1983, I pointed out that ancient myths and legends were one of the best information carriers that human beings could find before the invention and widespread use of characters. Among them, ancient legends are records of natural and social events of that era, while ancient myths are people's understanding and interpretation of the information recorded in ancient legends at that time and their descendants. Therefore, it is necessary and effective to interpret and restore ancient myths and legends by using the principles of information dissemination, semiotics and cryptography. Therefore, I specially studied semiotics, and wrote and published such monographs as Mysterious Symbols in Life (China Overseas Chinese Publishing Company 1992, China International Broadcasting Press 1996) and Mysterious Numbers in Life (China Foreign Translation Publishing Company 1993).

For example, ancient myths and legends such as the goddess mending the sky, Houyi shooting at the sun, Kuafu turning into a daytime, * * workers tearing down Buzhoushan, the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon and Zhuan Xu Jedi Tiantong. (including the folk stories that evolved from this), I interpret it as the "big collision between heaven and earth" event that happened in ancient times. Interested readers can refer to Classic Pictures of Mountains and Seas, Pursuing Ancient Information, Mysterious Star Culture and Games (author, PLA Literature and Art Publishing House, 199 1 year) and New Pictures of Mountains and Seas (Sun, Kunlun Publishing House, 1996).

Regarding the origin of Japan's self-proclaimed Yamato nation, Cihai noted that Yamato is another name of Japan, one of the five countries in this province, and it is safe, and its capital is now Nara Prefecture, so it was named after it.

The word "harmony" has many meanings: The Practical Chinese Dictionary (Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House) is interpreted as: tenderness, harmony, making peace, bells on ancient cars, gates of ancient armies, wooden boards at both ends of coffins, addition of two numbers, belt, sui, tong, connection, referring to Japan (harmony, kimono), surname and singing along, which is poetic. Cihai (Zhonghua Book Company) is interpreted as: Correspondence, Pingyi, Tone, Interpretation, Combination of Stiffness and Flexibility, Harmony, Warmth, Harmony, Xiaosheng, Military Gate, Bell Name, Coffin Name, Harmony, Japanese posthumous title, Surname, Phonetic Correspondence and Harmony. To sum up, the original meaning of "harmony" is correspondence, which means that sounds echo each other.

He, He Zhong and Uncle He are all celebrities with the word "He" as their surnames. They were officials in charge of astronomical calendars in ancient times. He's word "Xi" is the same as the upper part of the word "Jiang", which may be of the same clan and homology (Fuxi, also known as Fuxi, may also be related to astronomical observation). Yao Dian recorded the general manager of astronomy. He has four civil servants who observe the four seasons respectively. They are: (east, morning and spring), uncle Xi (south, noon and summer), clock (west, faint and autumn) and uncle He (north, night and winter). On this basis, xi means morning and fainting (corresponding to four o'clock), Xi means sunrise and sunset, spring comes and autumn goes, and the Japanese claim to be harmonious, including the origin of the above astronomical calendar, but I am afraid that today's Japanese themselves don't know it.
