Japanese are descendants of Xu Fu in Qin Dynasty?

Xu Fu, the Xu family [1], is a local scholar in Qin Dynasty, and was once the physician of Qin Shihuang. His hometown is still unclear. It is generally believed that he is from Xufu Town, Longkou City, Shandong Province. Speaking of Xufu Village (formerly known as Xufu Village) in Jinshan Township, Ganyu County, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, it refers to Jiaonan City, Qingdao.

Japanese record

The earliest record of Xu Fudong's crossing the sea in Japan was Jade Emperor's Orthodoxy written by Kitazawa, Minister of the Southern Dynasties in 1339. In the 8th century, Japanese classics "Ancient Stories" and "Records of Japan" only mentioned that Qin people migrated to Japan, but there was no record of Xu Fudong crossing the river. Some people think this is because China didn't make it clear that Xu Fudong's destination was Japanese in the 8th century.

The Japanese believe that Xu Fu landed in Shin Miyagi (now Shin Miyagi, Wakayama Prefecture) in Kumano, Jizhou, Japan. At present, there are Xu Fu Tomb and Xu Fu Temple in the local area. Every year165438+1October 28th is the day of offering sacrifices to Xu Fu. In the legend of Xu Fu in Japan, the Japanese believe that Xu Fu brought boys and girls, skilled workers, grain seeds, farm tools, medicines, production technology and medical skills, which played an important role in Japan's development, so he was honored as "the god of agriculture" and "the god of medicine".

[Editor] About the whereabouts of Xu Fu

There is the following statement:

Emperor Jimmu, the first emperor in Japanese history, came to Japan. In archaeological research, it seems reasonable to combine the doubtful points of "the history of the eight dynasties" and then prove the existence of these nine emperors. There is Xu Fuzhi's tomb in Japan, but it was built quite late, which was built by the annex when the legend of Fulai Xu Tian was introduced to Japan (Note: [2]). Moreover, there are too many tombs of Xu Fu, such as the tomb of Yang Guifei, with dozens of back and forth, which can only increase doubts.

Become the ancestors of the Japanese. No matter from the point of view of history or archaeology, the times of this statement are very different. Japan was inhabited long before Xu Fu arrived and had its own culture. Chui fook with the arrival of virgins, at best, just intermarry with local people to reproduce.

According to "A Brief History of Japan", in 72, Emperor Xiaoling was born in Fu Laixu, a native of Qin. (Or cloud, Xu Fu led three thousand men and women, and hired three tombs and five classics. If you can't ask for medicine, stay and don't come back. Or clouds, stop at Mount Fuji. Or cloud, bear wild mountain, there is Xu Fu Temple. ) "said chui fook took virgins to Japan to repair, pay tribute to the three tombs and five codes, and seek immortality medicine. However, the elixir of life is not allowed, so we can only settle down. In the Fuji Document, it is mentioned that Fu Laixu went to Japan to assist local farmers in farming and brought some new technologies. But' Fuji Literature' is generally regarded as a fake book by academic circles.

After arriving in Japan, Xu Fu never returned home, and he didn't get the elixir. Worried that Qin Shihuang would kill him, he asked his men and women to change their surnames to Qin, Haneda, Dian, Futian and Fukuyama. Now, there are Japanese surnamed Qin in Shinmiya City, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, and the word "Qin" is engraved on the upstairs of some houses.
