There is a Chinese buried in Japan, and when his 11th grandson went to visit the grave, the Tokugawa family personally accompanied him!
After death, one must return to one's homeland and hide in one's homeland for one's soul to rest, and this thought has always been rooted in the hearts of all Chinese. Although to some extent there is a certain superstitious idea in it. No matter where they are, people's hearts are always toward home. There is a Chinese buried on the territory of Japan, and when his 11th grandson went to visit the grave, even Tokugawa, a famous and famous family in Japan, had to accompany him personally.
Chinese buried on Japanese soil is called Zhu Zhiyu, a great talent who lived during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty. However, during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the court was very unstable, and the phenomenon of corruption was very serious, and Zhu Zhiyu could not bear to go along with the same stream, so he resigned and went home. Unexpectedly, shortly thereafter, the Ming Dynasty was extinguished, and the Qing Dynasty repeatedly wanted to convene so that talented people could govern the country.
However, Zhu Zhiyu always thought that he was an official of the Ming Dynasty and did not want to join the Qing Dynasty, so Zhu Zhiyu was hunted down and killed by the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, and had no choice but to cross east to Japan. During his journey to Japan, he was favored by the Tokugawa family and considered him very talented, and asked Zhu Zhiyu to help educate some of the children in the clan. And as Zhu Zhiyu continued to educate some children of the Tokugawa family, his talent was also spread in Japan.
Scholars continue to ask Zhu Zhiyu some academic questions. Zhu Zhiyu saw that there was no hope of the Ming Dynasty's restoration, so he settled down in Japan and settled down to propagate some Chinese Confucian doctrines and ideas in Japan. The Japanese people are very fond of Chinese culture, so they love Ya and Wu, and they especially love the Chinese culture that Zhu Zhiyu said. Some children of the Tokugawa family worship Zhu Zhiyu as a god, believing that some of the knowledge Zhu Zhiyu said was very simple and easy to understand.
The owner of the Tokugawa family invited Zhu Zhiyu to write a history of Great Japan. Zhu Zhiyu was also very interested, so he joined the compilation, but it was not long before he died of illness, and this "History of Great Japan" was not fully compiled by him. But some of the influence on Japan is still far-reaching. Some of Zhu Zhiyu's teachings in Japan influenced the Meiji period. The Tokugawa family was very sorry for the death of Zhu Zhiyu, so it was normal for Zhu Zhiyu's 11th grandson to go to Japan to worship and be accompanied by the patriarch of the Tokugawa family.
