Is it a legend that the Japanese originally came from China?

In 2 19 BC, Qin Shihuang toured Langya (now southeast of Zhucheng) on the Shandong coast. Xu Fu, a Qi man, and some people wrote to Qin Shihuang, claiming that there were three sacred mountains in the sea, and asked Qin Shihuang to send boys and girls with him to ask for an elixir. Qin Shihuang listened to his words and sent thousands of boys and girls to sail with him. After several years, I spent a lot of money and didn't get the magic medicine. In 2 10 BC, when Qin Shihuang visited Langya again, Xu Fu made up a lie for fear of being accused, saying that Penglai medicine was blocked because there were big sharks in the sea, and an archer who was good at using crossbows was needed to eliminate the difficulties. This time, Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to lead 3,000 boys and girls, loaded with grain seeds, and went out to sea with various skills. Xu Fu sailed to Wakayama, Honshu, Japan. After arriving at Kitakyushu Oshima, Xu Fu and his fleet entered the Seto Inland Sea as far as Mu Yi Peninsula.

Xu Fudong's route to Japan may start from Shandong Peninsula, pass through the mouth of Bohai Sea, reach Liaodong Peninsula, then reach Ma Haixia along the sea near the Korean Peninsula, and enter Kitakyushu, Japan via Okinawa Island. Wei Fulin led a huge fleet and sailed along the coast to Japan, indicating that the ancient China people's ocean navigation technology and knowledge were mature. Up to now, there are Xu Fu's Tomb, Ancient Temple and Xu Fu's Inscription near Shinji Town, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, to commemorate his contributions in leading men and women, carrying seeds and farm tools, reclaiming and planting, and raising future generations.

Xu Fudong's crossing the sea to Japan is the beginning of China's moving from the mainland to the sea.

Xu Fu and others spread farming knowledge and fishing, forging, salt making and other technologies to Japanese aborigines in Jiuzhou Island and other places, and also taught the Japanese people advanced Qin culture such as medical technology, which promoted social development and was deeply respected by the Japanese people. Japan respects Xu Fu as "the god of agriculture" and "the god of medicine". There are traces of Xu Fu's activities in Wakayama, Saga, Hiroshima, Aichi, Akita and Mount Fuji. Saga, Shinomiya and other shrines regard Xu Fufeng as a deity, and hold huge sacrificial activities every year. In order to carry forward the spirit of blessing, China and Japan established the National Blessing Association, and Lianyungang, Longkou, Jiaonan, Cangzhou, Suzhou, Cixi, Shinomiya, Saga, Osaka, Fuji Yoshida, Kagoshima, Tokyo and other places also established the Blessing Association. In recent years, works and literary works about Xu Fu have been published, and plays about Xu Fu have been put on the stage. After the publication of two books, Wei's Examination of Xu Fu's Entry into Japan and Shi Peng's Xu Fu's Entry into Emperor Jimmu, they aroused strong repercussions in Japanese academic and political circles, with both supporters and opponents. Most of the opponents are right-wingers and militarists, and most of the supporters are scholars with a sense of justice and scientific spirit, forming an international upsurge to study and commemorate the "Du Dong incident of Xu Fuqian Tongbai Palace Group". More than 90 organizations have sprung up in various parts of Japan to commemorate Xu Fu, which directly or indirectly promoted all walks of life in Japan to re-examine the history of Japan's founding and issued a call to re-compile the history of Japan's founding. 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.

Chui fook has a high position in Japan. People all over Japan, in particular, call Xu Fu "king", "emperor" and "standard bearer of Yayoi culture", and regard him as the god of harvest, farming, textile, medicine, smelting, fishing, shipbuilding, water conservancy and reproduction.

There are 5 Xu Fuling and 37 sacrificial temples in Japan. Penglai Mountain, named after Xufu's arrival, has 13 buildings, with hundreds of sites and unearthed cultural relics. There are more than 90 memorial organizations and research institutions for Xu Fu, and more than 50 sacrificial ceremonies and ceremonies. There are 17 with Qin and Xu as surnames, and more than 50 related works have been published. According to a survey published in Asahi Shimbun, "there are more than 34 million children and believers", especially Saga, Shinomiya and Fuji Yoshida. In these three places, offering sacrifices to Xu Fu is not only an important scenic spot for local people, but also has developed into an important cultural and tourism industry. Not only celebrities and people from business, academia, military and all walks of life, but also political officials, such as the county magistrate, speaker, mayor, Shinomiya and Fuji Yoshida of Saga Prefecture, have also served as the president of the local Tofu Association. These activities were supported by former Japanese Prime Ministers Tsutomu Hata, Takeo Miki and others. Haneda also called his residence "Qinyang Pavilion" and hung a plaque on the door.

Former Japanese Prime Minister Tsutomu Hata once publicly admitted that he was a descendant of Qin Shihuang of China.

In fact, many Japanese people used to have China surnames, just like Koreans.

1Japanese prime minister haneda, who was elected in April 1994, publicly admitted that he was a descendant of China's first emperor Qin Shihuang. This shocked many people, including the Japanese. He said that his ancestor's surname was Qin, and it was only changed to "Haneda" 200 years ago. In Japanese, Qin is pronounced the same as Haneda. He is the descendant of a attache of Xu Fu, who led 3000 boys and girls from China to Japan. In other words, the Prime Minister admitted that he was from China.
