Xu Fu may be the first person to spread China's ancient culture and civilization to Japan. When Xu Fu arrived in Japan, Japan was still in the Stone Age. The advanced culture brought by Xu Fu has brought great impetus to the progress and development of Japanese society, and promoted the leap of Japanese society from the era of rope grain to the era of yayoi.
According to Japanese archaeological excavations, as early as hundreds of thousands of years ago, Japan's land was connected with the Asian continent. In the long years, primitive residents relied on the strength of groups and used tools such as stone tools and sticks to hunt and collect for a living. About 1000 years ago, transgressions occurred in various parts of Japan. Due to repeated changes in the earth's crust and rising sea water, Japan gradually separated from the mainland and became today's Japanese archipelago, which consists of four islands, Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, and hundreds of small islands. Since then, the aborigines of the Japanese archipelago have cut off contact with the rest of the world.
About the origin of the Japanese, there is a folklore in China: In order to find the elixir of life, Qin Shihuang in ancient China sent Xu Fu, a warlock, to lead 3,000 boys and girls to Japan, and Xu Fu never came back and thrived in Japan. The 3000 boys and girls brought by Xu Fu have multiplied and become Japanese today. For this legend, Chinese and Japanese scholars have been persistently collecting evidence and conducting serious research and exploration, hoping to convince the world that Xu Fu's trip to Japan in history is indeed true. According to historical records, Qin Shihuang did send Xu Fudong to Japan to look for the elixir of life. Chui fook was caught in a storm on his way to Japan, and the ship was blown to the new Miyagi in Wakayama Prefecture. After landing, I began to work and multiply here.
The Shinto Palace, where Chuifu landed, is a beautiful coast. There is a red shrine near the coast, and it is quiet and peaceful around. There is a small park near New Miyagi, and there is a tomb of Xu Fu in the park. It is not clear whether this is a monument or a real funeral. There is a tombstone about 3 meters high in front of the tomb. The tombstone records in Chinese the story of how Xu Fu arrived in Japan to find the elixir of life and why he settled in Japan. The tombstone was erected at 1834. The "Tombstone of Xu Fuzhi" carved on the tombstone was written by a famous Korean calligrapher, and the poem on the tombstone was written by a Japanese sinologist. On June 28th every year, 165438+ Wakayama people will hold a memorial activity for Xu Fu's landing in this park.
Broken walls can be seen everywhere on the seashore of the new palace, which is about 1.5 meters high and stretches for more than 30 kilometers. Some Japanese scholars believe that this is a defense project built by Xu Fu imitating the Great Wall. According to historical records, during the Edo shogunate, Japan once restored the Great Wall.
Many places in Japan, especially Kyushu, have built Xufu Temple. In Gionee Village of Saga, Xu Fu is regarded as a god of medicine, and in other places, he is also regarded as a god of water, farming and sericulture.
The area where Chuifu landed was the earliest area where Japanese culture developed, and it was also the place where Japanese legend Emperor Jimmu landed. So some people think that Emperor Chuifu is the Emperor Jimmu in the Japanese founding myth. Some scholars infer that the Japanese royal family has a lot to do with Xu Fu based on a bronze mirror of the Qin Dynasty and a huge combat knife unearthed from the tomb of an important Japanese royal family living in the God Age, because according to the social status quo of stone age Japan when Xu Fu landed, such a thing is impossible. The Yayoi culture in Japan is almost the same as that in the Qin and Han Dynasties, which is thousands of years earlier than the inherent rope culture in Japan. The so-called Yayoi culture was formed only after Fu Laixu arrived in Japan. According to the records of China historians and complete official historical materials, this paper makes textual research on geography, Japanese historical legends, historical sites and unearthed antiquities, and proves that the kingdom established by Xu Fu crossing the sea is Feng Jingen, Japan. The founding of the Japanese Emperor Jimmu coincided with the blessing, with the same concept and system, and consistent in all aspects. Therefore, some people assert that Wei Fulin was the first emperor in Japanese history, and Emperor Jimmu was the descendant of Wei Fulin who worshipped Wei Fulin in the 8th century. This statement has been resolutely opposed by Japanese scholars who firmly believe that they are descendants of God.
Gu Ye Qifeng is a Japanese scholar who has deeply studied Xu Fu. He thinks that Xu Fu is an outstanding leader of Qi State and is famous for his research on elixir of life. Xu Fu brought the knowledge and wisdom of China people at that time, including Taoism. He thinks Xu Fu is the real founder of Japanese Shintoism.
