Are the Japanese descended from China? Kneel and beg

First, there is no conclusion about the national origin of the Japanese. 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 ancient information that can be seen and interpreted above, China residents have at least the following main activities to migrate to Japanese island.

Secondly, regarding the national origin of Japanese island residents, the academic circles generally say that Japanese island residents began in the Neolithic Age, and the earliest Japanese residents were Tungusic people who moved in from the northern mainland. Later, Malays crossed the sea from the south, and from the second half of 1000 BC, China and Koreans moved to Japan.

Japan's ethnic composition is relatively simple, but it can't be simply called a "single nation state". The reason for this is that in addition to the well-known "Yamato nation", there are Ainu people and Ryukyu people with unique national characteristics on the Japanese archipelago.

Ainu people believe in a religion with strong shamanism, and often hold religious ceremonies such as "bear sacrifice" and "whale sacrifice", which is closely related to their self-sufficient life with fishing, hunting and gathering as the main means of survival since ancient times. In modern times, the above-mentioned national characteristics of Ainu people are not much, and they are gradually assimilating with others.

However, the emergence of assimilation does not mean the disappearance of Ainu people. According to statistics, there are still about 25,000 Ainu people living in Danzhen, Japan and other places in Hokkaido.
