Do you know that the founding father of Japan is a Chinese, he is the Qin Dynasty Great Fool Xu Fu. Is Xu Fu really the ancestor of the Japanese? And who are the ancestors if not the Japanese? Let's talk about that today
Fang Shi Xu Fu
In Japan, Xu Fu is a legend, and the Japanese regard Xu Fu as the father of the nation, and many temples were built in honor of him. Xu Fu Temple, Xu Fu Tomb, and Xu Fu Temple can be seen everywhere in Japan, and even there are more than 20 Xu Fu landing sites.
In order to thank this father of the nation, a grand sacrifice ceremony is held every December 15th in Japan at Mount Kinateyama in Sazan Prefecture.
Emperor Hirohito's third brother once publicly declared that Xu Fu deserved to be the father of the Japanese nation. In the Japanese concept, Xu Fu is their ancestor, but is Xu Fu really related to them?
Xu Fu was the first able person of the famous Fangshi of the pre-Qin dynasty to begin fooling the emperor, and was rumored to be a closed disciple of Ghost Guzi. After Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, he felt that his life was short, so he went around asking immortals for eternal life.
Qin Shi Huang begged for more than ten years without a single Fangshi giving a solution, and just when Qin Shi Huang was about to give up, Xu Fu stood up and said that he had a way. He said: There are three sacred mountains in the sea, named Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, and in the sacred mountains live immortals, they will have the law of immortality, Your Majesty gave me 3,000 boys and girls, and I will go to sea to ask for the elixir for you.
In addition to thousands of boys and girls, Qin Shi Huang also prepared food, clothing, medicine and cultivation tools for Xu Fu for three years, in short, Qin Shi Huang spent a lot of money on this immortal search.
In 219 BC, Xu Fu led people to set out, is he going to Japan this time?
Ancestral controversy
Is Xu Fu the ancestor of the Japanese? What evidence does Japan have?
Xu Fu took the army to sea for several years without even seeing the shadow of the immortals, and the only thing that can be called a result is that Xu Fu left many descendants of the surname Lao in Laoshan.
A few years later, I don't know if the food ran out or the money was not enough. Xu Fu came back to Qin Shi Huang and said that he had not seen the immortals this time, and hoped that His Majesty could give him some more.
In 210 BC, Xu Fu went to sea again, and has never returned to China since, and we don't know where Xu Fu went, anyway, the Japanese insisted on going to him. Xu Fuyin, fearing that Qin Shi Huang would run away with 3,000 boys and girls, arrived in Japan after a few days of drifting at sea.
The monk Yichu of the Later Zhou Dynasty made it clear for the first time in the Six Posts of Yichu that Xu Fu's final destination was Japan. The Japanese Watarai Hao clan were his descendants, and the book claims that Xu Fu called Mount Fuji Penglai Senzan after his arrival in Japan, although the book is not necessarily credible.
Because Yichu has never been to Japan, the content of the book is all said by his Japanese friend Master Hongshun, and everyone weighs the moisture in the book. Ancient Japanese books also only record the immigration of the Qin Dynasty. There is no record of Xu Fu's eastern crossing of Japan, in short, there is no definite historical evidence for Xu Fu's eastern crossing to Japan. Xu Fu is the ancestor of the Japanese, and it is all their subjective will.
Roosevelt once commented: The Japanese are the meanest and most shameless people I have ever seen. The mustachioed Hitler also said: It is our shame to ally with Japan, they will only fish on the seashore, if there are such offspring, Xu Fu is probably unwilling to admit it.
Fortunately, modern technology has returned Xu Fu's innocence, and genetic testing technology has found that Xu Fuzhen is not the ancestor of the Japanese, if you don't believe it, look at these evidence.
Genetic testing
Are the ancestors of the Japanese Chinese?
Xu Fu is not the ancestor of the Japanese, and the news immediately aroused doubts among the Japanese, who have always believed that they are descendants of Xu Fu.
The genetic test results overturned, and all their outlook on life values, what they believed in for generations, were completely destroyed.
After analyzing the genes of the Japanese, experts concluded that in ancient times, some people came to settle in Japan from southwest China through the Korean Peninsula, and others crossed the sea from Indonesia, the Philippines and Ryukyu into Japan.
It is precisely because of the mixture of a large number of people that the local culture of Japan is more mixed, and only 1% of modern Japanese people are descendants of Chinese, which does not exclude the part of modern intermarriage.
If 1% can be ancestors, there are too many ancestors in Japan.
And the average height of ancient Japanese men is almost one meter four, the god of war Takeda Shingen is one meter five three, Japan's world's strongest soldier Sanada Yukimura is one meter six, and the century-old general Oda Nobunaga is only one meter six nine meters tall.
In contrast, the average height of the ancient Chinese army exceeded one meter seven as early as the Qin and Han dynasties. Chinese change in height occurred during the Ming and Qing dynasties, when the population grew greatly. Some poor people do not have enough to eat and are malnourished for a long time, and their height naturally declines.
In short, all this evidence shows that Xu Fuzhen is not the ancestor of the Japanese.
