I am alive in the dead country, I am still honored in death, although I die and the spirit is immortal, I have successfully become a benevolent person and realize the great unity - Zhao Bosheng
If you ask what can unite people the most, the whole nation has a strong calming agent, a national integrity that regards death as a homecoming, a kind of my country, that is, my family, my family is the national righteousness of our country, no matter how far it has gone, no matter where it is, it is attracted by a sense of belonging to centripetal force and national cohesion, and it is looking for it again.
In fact, for everyone, the motherland is a person's highest sustenance. Those who struggle overseas far from their homeland are like wanderers wandering in a foreign land, although they are far away, but their hearts have never left. So how is cohesion and belonging formed? Why has it become so powerful and haunting today?
In fact, the soul of each nation sprouts little by little in the process of historical development, under the careful care and cultivation of people, in the wind and rain, slowly sprouting, growing up, and finally blossoming and bearing fruit. Therefore, in the development process of the whole country and nation, it is particularly important to find your own national roots.
There is a country in the world that does not know much about its roots, does not know where it comes from, and in order to dispel doubts, there is a group of people
Start looking around. However, all the clues about the ancestors turned out to be directed to China.
Historical origins
Regarding the relationship between Japan and ancient China, it is indeed constantly cut, chaotic, and inextricably linked.
Some scholars have studied that ten thousand years ago, the Japanese area had begun to be inhabited, and according to the judgment, they migrated from the south or the north, and soon after, some Koreans and Chinese also came to settle. The ancient Chinese book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" once mentioned that during the Dayu period,
Chinese has crossed the East China Sea several times, and the final destination across the East China Sea is most likely the Japanese area.
It can be seen from this that there is a great possibility that the original population composition of the Japanese area is Chinese, that is, Chinese is likely to be the ancestor of the whole of Japan.
Yamato nation
As we all know, the Yamato nation in Japan occupies almost all of Japan, so how did the Yamato nation come into being?
At present, there is a widely circulated theory that the Yamato nation was in the Qin Dynasty
Xu Fu
Formed after the East Crossing. In the Qin Dynasty era, Qin Shi Huang had practiced many elixirs in pursuit of immortality, and in order to obtain the elixir of immortality, Qin Shi Huang paid a great price. Xu Fu once told Qin Shi Huang that there was an immortal in the East China Sea who could ask him for it. Qin Shi Huang Dayue,
He immediately sent Xu Fu to lead the virgin boys and girls to seek medicine.
Qin Shi Huang was originally full of joy, but he did not want Xu Fu and the others to cross the east and never come back, and there was no news.
Folklore has it that xu Fudong did not find the elixir after the crossing, Qin Shi Huang killed people like hemp, he was very afraid, so he did not dare to go back, he simply stayed in Japan. At that time, the people of Japan had not yet come into contact with civilization, and it was still a primitive society's way of hunting, which was very backward. After Xu Fu went, he taught them to plant and smelt iron, teach them to recognize words, and move toward civilization. To this day, there are still many records about Xu Fu in Japan, and the Japanese enshrine Xu Fu as a
The god of agriculture and the god of healing.
As we all know, the first emperor of Japan was Emperor Shenmu, and some people speculate that
Emperor Shenwu was Xu Fu in ancient times.
This is not without factual evidence, according to the investigation, several things left by Emperor Shenwu came from the Qin Dynasty. Not only that, Emperor Shenwu also led people on an eastern expedition, which almost coincided with the time of Xu Fudong's crossing.
Similarity
There are also many people in Japan who believe that their ancestors are from the ethnic minorities in Yunnan, China, and some people think that they come from the Yi, Dai, Hani, and so on.
In fact, they are also judged by their similarities with ethnic minorities in China.
The Chinese minority Yi have a torch festival, while Japan also has a celebration festival called the Obon Festival, and the Olan Festival is basically the same as the custom of the Yi Torch Festival, and they speculate that it is likely that their ancestors maintained the original way of life and celebration, which has been passed down to this day. More importantly,
The Chinese Yi torch festival is on the same day as the Japanese Obon Festival, which further confirms their suspicions.
Regarding the Dai people, it is actually related to the characteristics of people. According to the survey, because of genetic relations, ethnic minorities with Dai identity will have fetal spots during childhood, and most Japanese people have similar spots, and Japanese people judge that they have the same genetic genes according to such characteristics, so it is also very likely that they are from the same vein.
As for the Hani, they are judged on the basis of faith. Both the Japanese and the Hani minorities in China attach great importance to agriculture, and therefore to agriculture-related deities.
Both the Japanese and the Hani believe in the sun god and ceres, so the beliefs of the two sides are also very consistent.
Customs
The reason why China and Japan have a strong historical relationship, but also have a great relationship with the daily customs and habits of the two countries, and among the many customs, the most similar is the tea ceremony.
In ancient China, there was a Shennong who used tea to detoxify, and later there was a tea saint Lu Yu,
Since then, China's tea ceremony has been carried forward, and tea has almost become a necessity in China and an important carrier for people to make friends. In Japan, tea is also very popular, there are many tea rooms in Japan, used to provide people with places to drink tea, about the Japanese tea ceremony, they also pay great attention to the etiquette when drinking tea.
Japanese kimonos are world-famous, and about the prototype of kimonos,
In fact, it is based on the costumes of the Sui and Tang dynasties
The Japanese transformed it on the basis of Sui and Tang costumes, forming the famous clothes in Japan now: kimonos.
The two countries are also linked in sports. Japanese sumo wrestling is a sport that combines sports competition and entertainment, and this may have been introduced to Japan during the Tang Dynasty. Japanese karate also borrowed from Chinese martial arts, which evolved slowly from Chinese martial arts.
Japanese Chinese characters have many similarities with Chinese characters, even the pronunciation is very similar, according to the survey, 80% of Japanese pronunciation is converted from Chinese accent.
According to historical and practical reasons, Japan has been deceiving and concealing, or even ignoring, the existence of history as to where it came from. In the diplomacy of major powers, national interests have always been in the primary position, and the premise of national interests is to achieve mutual respect. Just as my country respects Japan's history, we also want equal respect.
In the interaction between the two countries, it is clear that losing both sides is not the best if.
Therefore, in the communication and exchanges between the two countries, the relations between the two countries should develop in a friendly direction based on the principle of friendly exchanges and mutual benefit. China and Japan are inextricably linked and share a common historical origin, which should contribute to the cause of peaceful diplomacy between the two countries.
