What ethnic groups are there in Japan?

Exactly when the Yamato nation was formed and where their ancestors came from have long been impossible to trace in the vague epics and diverse legends. What is now certain is that a sustained and growing migration to Japan began sometime as early as BC. The immigrants are mostly yellow-skinned Mongolians, mainly composed of the Tungus people from Siberia and Northeast China, the Malays from the Nanyang Islands, the Indochinese people from the Indochina Peninsula, the Wuyue people from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the Han and Korean people. They went down the Korean Peninsula, crossed the strait, and landed on this volcanic island at the end of East Asia, where the first light of dawn always appeared. In 1979, Kenzaburo Torigoe, emeritus professor of anthropology at Osaka University of Education, Japan, was the first to publish a new theory that "the birthplace of the Japanese is in Yunnan Province, China." On February 23, 1984, Professor Torigoe Ken, who is dedicated to the study of social and human culture, announced: "A field investigation was conducted on the ethnic minorities in the Thai mountainous area (northern Thailand) who are thought to have traveled south from Yunnan, and as a result, all babies were found. There are fetal spots on the buttocks." Professor Tori Koshi emphasized this discovery: "The origin of fetal spots on the Japanese's physique is Yunnan. This is circumstantial evidence that this area is the birthplace of the Japanese." In September 1988, Japan Television The Alliance of Volunteers arrived in Yunnan, and their mission was to film "The Origin of the Japanese." Since then, the inference of Japanese scholars has been further deduced from "the Japanese originated in Yunnan" to "the ancestors of the Japanese are ethnic minorities in Yunnan", and their scope and core are basically defined as the Yi, Hani, Dai and other various theories. The reason for holding the "Yi theory" is that after experts such as Torigoshi Kenzaburo, Sasaki Takaaki and Watabe Tadayo visited Yunnan, they discovered that the "Torch Festival" of the Sani people (Yi branch) in Shilin and other places is similar to the "Menglan Bon" in Japan. Festival", that is, the "Torch Festival" is also held on the same day in Japan's Kii Peninsula. In places such as Kobe, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, and Wakayama on the Kii Peninsula in southern Japan, it is the Chinese traditional culture that is most concentrated in Japan. place... The reason for holding the "Hani theory" is that some Japanese people were surprised to find that the Hani people in Yunnan, China, and the Yamato people of Japan have similar beliefs about "animism", especially among the gods. The most authoritative "Amaterasu" of the Japanese people and "Api Meiyan" of the Hani people are both women, and they are also the gods of the sun. Japan worships the "God of Grain" and regards cherry blossoms as its national flower. The Hani people also worship the "God of Grain". ", and regard cherry trees and cherry flowers as sacred flowers... The "Dai theory" still comes from scholars such as Torigosuken, Sasaki and Watanabe. For the ethnic minorities in the mountainous areas of Thailand who are thought to have moved south from Yunnan, they once conducted a field investigation and found that all babies had fetal spots on their buttocks. At the same time, fetal spots were also found among the Dai people in Xishuangbanna. The so-called "fetal spots" refer to the cyan spots that appear on the skin of the baby's buttocks, waist, back and shoulders. The reason is that there are melanocytes in the dermis of the skin, which gradually disappear with age. The Japanese have similar fetal spots of this race, and many people in Kyushu and Honshu in western Japan have blood type A. This is also the same as in Yunnan and mainland Thailand... ("Yunnan Daily·Daguan Weekly" November 2000 Reported on January 15) Beginning in 1996, some scholars from China and Japan formed the "Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Investigation Team of Jiangnan Human Bones" to conduct research on the bones excavated in Jiangsu Province, China from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Western Han Dynasty (i.e., the sixth century BC to the first AD). century) and human bones from the Jomon to Yayoi periods unearthed in Kitakyushu and Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, around the same time, a three-year comparative study was conducted. After DNA testing and analysis, some parts of the order of the two are actually the same, proving that they are derived from the same ancestor. This means that the ancestors of the Japanese are definitely far more than just Chinese from the southern frontier. China and Japan are not only of the same species, but also of the same origin. (Japan's Sankei Shimbun reported on March 19, 1999) According to folklore, after Qin Shihuang unified China, in order to seek the elixir of immortality, he sent Xu Fu to lead 3,000 boys and girls on a huge ship composed of 50 ships. The team traveled eastward to Japan in search of the elixir of life. As a result, they were not found. Xu Fu wanted to go back home, but one of his subordinates reminded him that you have not completed the errand assigned by the emperor, and you will only die if you go back. It is better to stay, so Xu Fu and his party stayed. At this time, Japan was still in the Stone Age. Most Japanese people had long hair, tied on the top of their heads with a rope, and tied on their foreheads with a piece of white cloth. To this day, Japanese people still like to tie white cloth strips on their foreheads during festivals. Most of them are fishermen with tattoos on their faces. Fishermen believe that getting tattoos is a good way to lure fish when fishing in the sea. The clothing the women wore was nothing more than a piece of cloth with a hole dug around the neck, like a Mexican cape. People are peaceful and not jealous. Polygamy is practiced, and generally a man can marry four or five wives. The Japanese like to drink and eat with their hands like the Malays and Indians. They had no meat to eat at that time and usually ate fish, vegetables and rice. It is said that Xu Fu discovered that Japanese people lived long lives and could live to be 80 to 90 years old, and some even lived to be 100 years old. He also discovered that in addition to growing rice and fishing, they were also particularly good at witchcraft, prophecy, astrology, and divination using mud.
