Who is Xu Fu of the Qin Dynasty? Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to find the fairy medicine.

Xu Fu in Qin Dynasty Xu Fu was a famous figure in Qin Dynasty. He is not only a physician who is proficient in medical skills, but also an alchemist who is keen to explore the art of immortality and likes to wander around in alchemy and medicine. As an alchemist, he is indeed much smarter and more powerful than other alchemists.

During the Qin Shihuang period, the wind of seeking immortals prevailed in society. Because of Qin Shihuang's powerful power, he wanted to enjoy this right forever. At this time, Xu Fu wrote to the king that there are three fairy mountains on the sea, where many immortals live. Many immortals can take elixir of life. In order to gain long-term rule, Qin Shihuang ordered Xu Fu to seek immortality and set out with 3,000 boys and girls. However, things don't always develop according to our beautiful imagination. After a long time, they didn't find the legendary fairy mountain, let alone the immortal. So Xu Fu was born in "Laoshan Mountain", leaving his descendants and changing his surname to Lao.

In the blink of an eye, many years have passed. In 2 10 BC, Chuifu once again took many people out to sea to find immortals. They came to a "vast plain" by accident. Chuifu felt that the climate there was comfortable, the air was fresh, and it was very suitable for people to live in, so he decided not to go, gave up the search for the fairy mountain, became king there, and never returned to China.

The Japanese believed that Xu Fu was the first emperor of Japan, Emperor Jimmu, and found a lot of evidence to prove this view, but some people opposed this view. Hundreds of years have passed, and this issue has been debated endlessly. But the fact that Xu Fu promoted our cultural exchanges between China, Japan and South Korea is of course true and credible!

After a long struggle for power and war, Qin Shihuang and Xu Fu were old and suffered from heart failure. Although he has the ambition to dominate the world forever, he has no choice but to be bound by the laws of nature. However, due to the centralization of ancient kings, Qin Shihuang wanted to change this fate.

The eunuchs around him can naturally ponder the king's psychology, so it is their task now to find the art of immortality and cater to the needs of the holy family. When Qin Shihuang visited Mount Tai and held a meditation ceremony, he passed through the hometown of Chuifu in Langya County, East China Sea. The well-informed eunuch learned the rumor that quack doctors were good at alchemy and immediately reported the news to Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang was naturally very happy to hear that it was possible to solve his immortal master. So immediately summoned chui fook.

Xu Fu is familiar with astronomy, geography and medical Taoism, and knows Qin Shihuang's desire for immortality like the back of his hand. He told Qin Shihuang that there are three sacred mountains in the Bohai Sea, and there are many immortals on the mountains. Immortals have magical medicines that can make people live forever. He asked Qin Shihuang to allow him to ask the immortals for the elixir. Qin Shihuang was very happy to hear that. He hoped that there would be such an elixir in this world, so he gave Xu Fu a lot of gold and silver jewelry and ordered him to go out to sea to look for an elixir.

Chui fook didn't get any elixir on his first trip. On the contrary, he lost the jewels given to him. When he came back, he told Qin Shihuang that he met Poseidon at sea, and Poseidon only showed him but didn't give him the elixir. He saw many immortals on the mountain, each with a life span of thousands of years. Poseidon said that boys and girls, as well as various craftsmen's utensils, must be dedicated to get the elixir of life. Qin Shihuang doesn't depend on how many gifts he wants, boys and girls, craftsmen's utensils. So he readily agreed to Poseidon's demands and ordered Xu Fu to find suitable men, women and craftsmen at home, ready to ask for the elixir again.

However, when Chuifu left with the boys, girls and craftsmen, he didn't come back. Qin Shihuang had no choice but to wait patiently. It's been ten years since I saw Xu Fu again. At this time, Qin Shihuang was getting older and his body began to get worse. All the panacea he longed for was pinned on Xu Fu. He looked forward to it for ten years, but Chui Fu replied that he could have got the elixir, but he couldn't walk beside it because of the big glue fish. I hope Qin Shihuang can let him take some archers to shoot glue fish. After hearing what Xu Fu said, it seems that as long as you kill the big fish, you can get the elixir of life, so you go out to sea to kill the big fish yourself. However, there was a big fish that died before Xu Fu brought the elixir of life.

Xu Fu, a Japanese Emperor Jimmu, has a magical legend about the origin of their ancestors. It is said that in remote ancient times, a man of God led thousands of people to sail eastward in a big ship in order to find the elixir for Qin Shihuang. He never collected the elixir of life, but established a country on a new island. This country is Japan, and this man of God is Xu Fu.

Xu Fu is well-read, not only familiar with weather changes and climate phenomena, but also familiar with geographical surveys of geographical distribution. He is also very good at traveling and sailing. He also knows the principles of medicine and medicine, the operation of human meridians, and learning martial arts to keep fit. Xu Fu is kind, helpful and sympathetic to the people, and is deeply supported by the people.

After Xu Fudong crossed the sea to Japan, he brought thousands of boys and girls to mix with the local aborigines, which produced a large population and significantly improved Japan's productive manpower. Xu Fu not only brought a prosperous population to Japan, but also spread culture to Japan, taught Japanese aborigines to learn Chinese characters and integrated Chinese culture and thoughts into Japan. Chuifu also let Qin craftsmen use advanced tools to build houses in Japan, transform farmland water conservancy, and let them learn to cultivate farmland and harvest grain. He also taught the aborigines to spin and raise silkworms, so that they could learn to smelt and cast iron, learn medical skills, learn to collect herbs, learn to fish around water, and have many skills in shipbuilding.

In Japan, Xu Fu once owned hundreds of relics and cultural relics. As a Japanese Emperor Jimmu, Xu Fu's contribution has surpassed that of ordinary Han people. He connected the cultural, political and economic exchanges between China and Japan, making the ties between the two countries closer.

According to the legend of Xu Fu, Emperor Jimmu flew down from other places. This statement is of course a mythical way, but it also conforms to the real situation that Xu Fudong crossed over. Xu Fudong crossed Japan for the first time and landed on the east coast of Kyushu. After a short stay, he accidentally discovered the livable environment on the island of Japan and had the idea of settling down. But at that time, he didn't have much materials and was not fully prepared, so he returned to China, hoping to get more materials from Qin Shihuang again.

Therefore, it was not long before he crossed the East for the first time. He made up an excuse for Qin Shihuang, saying that he did see the holy mountain, and the gods on the mountain lived for thousands of years. But Poseidon didn't like too few gifts, and asked for a number of young women, craftsmen and utensils before he was willing to give the elixir. Qin Shihuang only cared about the elixir and naturally agreed. Chui fook followed the power of Qin Shihuang, prepared population craftsmen and farm tools, and began to travel to Japan. This time, he tried to log in from another part of the island, so he came to Osaka, Japan. After landing from here, he stopped his expedition from Wakayama Prefecture to Japan's Great Peace Plain. In ancient Japan, it was still a land of barren hills and mountains, with tigers and wolves. Chui fook is very smart, deliberately took thousands of people, groped all the way, and finally found a livable plain.

Chui fook is king on this plain, and with these young children and craftsmen, he started a plan to develop production and multiply the population. At that time, Japan was basically in primitive society. Xu Fu taught them agricultural farming, Chinese characters, medicine, and all kinds of Han handicrafts, so that artisans could develop production, young men and women could get married and multiply their population.

It took nearly ten years to slowly develop wild Japan into an advanced small country. After these resources were used up, Xu Fu left Japan again and returned to the Central Plains. This time, when he came back, he met a whale, so after seeing Qin Shihuang, he made up a story about the elixir of life. Qin Shihuang still agreed to Chuifu to continue taking the elixir of life, and gave him a lot of rich gifts and population, and he went whaling himself in order to get the elixir immediately.

Chui fook once again took the materials needed to develop Japan to the East. This time, Xu Fu never returned to China, but lived in Japan and became the Emperor Jimmu in Japanese mythology.

How old did Xu Fu live? The existence of Xu Fu and his founding legend are the results of Qin Shihuang's attempt to break the limit of human life. Qin Shihuang unified the whole country by annexing the six countries and expelling the Huns, and became the supreme master of power. All the people in the world obey him, and the high concentration of power makes him long for the infinite extension of his life.

However, can people live forever, or even live longer? The answer is obviously no, although Xu Fu made up a story, saying that he went to the East China Sea to find a fairy island where immortals lived and asked the immortals for an elixir, but Xu Fu knew it was impossible. Lies always need more lies to prove. Chui fook really went to the east, took a big boat and floated on the sea to find a habitable island. The island has indeed been found. It is a very different place from the Central Plains, but there are no immortals, and some are primitive human groups. Chui fook still calmly went back and told Qin Shihuang how Yunxian Island was. At this time, he has decided to leave Qin Shihuang, who was deceived by him, and leave Qin State. He decided to get more technology, production tools, personnel and other materials from Qin while he still had a chance to lay the foundation for the development of his new country. His people also had a premonition that Xu Fu would disappear from the Qin Dynasty and began to live in seclusion.

Qin Shihuang died of his third hope for Xu Fu's elixir. According to historical records, Xu Fu never appeared again, either dead or living in other places. If Xu Fu was buried in the sea, or died of other reasons and didn't come back, then he just lived for decades, and his life span is no different from that of ordinary people.

If he goes to a new country, he cultivates land and builds a country, and he has children. Then the legend about his life span of 200 years is obviously unscientific. If he didn't die for the third time, Xu Fu should have lived for a long time, approaching the age of 100.

Is Xu Fu a eunuch? Xu Fu is not a eunuch. In the early Qin Dynasty, there were two kinds of people in the palace, eunuchs and eunuchs. The difference between the two is that the former can't be clean, and the latter has lost some male characteristics. Chui fook doesn't even belong to the man in the palace, so he is not a eunuch.

Xu Fu is often compared with Sambo eunuchs in Ming Dynasty, and they are often confused by descendants with poor history. Zheng He is a eunuch, Xu Fu is not a eunuch. The so-called eunuchs also have to undergo certain operations. Chui fook is lucky, although he is self-cultivation and some fortuneteller means, even immortals have boring times to have children, so fortuneteller doesn't have to be clean.

Xu Fu also has descendants, and the legend of Xu Fu's descendants is also very decent and widely circulated. Basically, wherever Cui Fulai has been, people claim to be descendants of Cui Fulai. In addition, Cui Fu helped Qin Shihuang to find immortals and pray for immortality, so Cui Fu has been to many places. Also, chui fook went to sea for the last time, and his whereabouts are unknown. There are different opinions about his whereabouts. One of them has something to do with island countries. So far, the people of the island countries are probably descendants of Xu Fu. No matter whether these statements are true or not, it proves that Xu Fu is fertile in people's minds, so he denies the meaning that he is a eunuch from the side.

To sum up, Xu Fu is not a eunuch. In Ying Zheng's time, there were not so many requirements for men to be eunuchs. So there are so many ministers, but only one Zhao Gao is remembered in the court. If there is any misunderstanding, you can read more historical materials in this regard.
