Did the Japanese go to China to confess their ancestors?

Yes, but not too much. For example, former Prime Minister Haneda claimed to be a descendant of Xu Fu.

Haneda once said: "There are many Xu Fu's remains and tombstones all over Japan, and there must be nearly 100. Many Japanese people say that they are descendants of Xu Fu. In fact, my surname is Haneda, which has long been written as Qin. " Talking about his family background, he seems to be in high spirits. "In the era of Takeda Shingen and Shang Sugiyama 300 years ago, my ancestor was a' family elder' in a small town in Nagano Prefecture, equivalent to the second in command. Later, he committed suicide by caesarean section, and my family was told that we could no longer use the surname' Qin'. From then on, we changed our surname to Haneda. However, I think my ancestors came from China. Just look at the Chinese tunic suit I'm wearing. "

Haneda pointed to a painting on the office wall and said, "This was painted by my uncle. The building in the painting is my ancestral home, and there is a plaque on it that says' Qinyang Pavilion'. "

Sanrikong, the brother of Emperor Hirohito of Japan who apologized to China for the war of aggression against China, once said emotionally: "Xu Fu is the father of our Japanese nation." With the support of Miki Palace, the younger brother of Emperor Hirohito, Wei Tingsheng's book Xu Fu's Founding in Japan was translated and published in Japan on 1977. So far, no one has put forward a systematic and well-founded rebuttal. Prince Chongren of Li Sangong just died in 20 16 at the age of 100.
