[Global Shock! Sanxingdui's Fusang Tree Reveals the Origin of Japan's Island Country] Non-Relics Confucius Holy Book Road {以心伝心}
Kyodo News:
In 1990, Kong Jian's book "The Southwest Silk Road and Japanese Culture" became a bestseller in Japan, especially mentioning the hibiscus tree unearthed in Sanxingdui, China, which especially proves the origin of the Japanese national name and shows the inseparable relationship between Chinese and Japanese cultures. What is "Fuso"? Two answers come to mind, one is a colorful flower that can be used in traditional Chinese medicine, and the other is Japan across the sea from us.
So why do these two seemingly unrelated things appear in our minds at the same time? In other words, what are the deeper historical ties between "Fuso" and Japan? Japan is called Fuso because of the orientation of the Japanese towards the sun and the Japanese concept.
Fusang is a country name recorded in ancient books, and it is recorded in the "Book of Liang: The Biography of Fusang Kingdom": "Fusang is more than 20,000 miles east of the Han Dynasty, and the land is in the east of China. "The people of Fuso feed on the fruits of Fusang, cloth on tree bark, and paper on Fusang bark. Fuso is about the same as Japan in terms of location, so later generations used Fuso as a synonym for Japan.
From the literal meaning of "Japan", the word "本" has the meaning of the root of grass and trees; The name "Japan" means the sun and the root of the sun tree. Among the ancient nations on the island of Japan, there was a name for a country or clan that called itself "Fuso" for a long time, and it was named after the place where the sun was located in the sacred tree. This concept of the Japanese reflects a concept of the structure of the universe shared by the Chinese and the Japanese in ancient times. The legend of the Fuso sacred tree originates.
In ancient mythology, legends about the sacred tree of Fuso are recorded. This legend was first found in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which describes Fuso as the abode of the sun. It is believed that the sun resides on the sacred tree of Fuso for ten days every day, and that the nine days are occupied by the golden crow, the bird of the sun.
The golden crow is an image in ancient mythology, and is often associated with the symbol of the sacred tree of Fuso. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were 10 birds of the sun living in the Fuso Sacred Tree in OOCL. Every morning, a bird of the sun rises from a tree to bring light to the world. When ten birds of the sun appear at the same time, it poses a serious danger to people. To this end, the legendary hero Hou Yi shot down nine birds of the sun, leaving only one to illuminate the earth. This legend is often associated with the Fuso sacred tree and the symbol of the Nine Days. There is a tree called "Fuso" in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which is said to grow in the water and is the place where the ten suns bathe. For a long time, everyone believed that the Fuso Shenmu was a myth in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". Until the Sanxingdui ruins, a giant bronze tree was excavated that matched the shape of the Fusang Sacred Tree described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"!
Japan original name: Fuso Province
The Tang Dynasty used to call Japan Fuso.
It is no wonder that some Japanese experts say that the ancient Japanese humans were in Shu and were later driven (exiled) to a small island in the wilderness. What is Fuso?
Fusang originally refers to the sacred tree, "Huainanzi Astronomical Fusang Training" records: "The sun comes out of the intestinal valley, bathes in the salty pool, and blows in Fusang, which is called the morning light." According to Mr. Kong Jian, the word Fusang first appeared in the ancient book "Classic of Mountains and Seas": "There is a soup valley below, and there is a Fusang on the soup valley, and it is bathed for ten days, and in the north of the black tooth, there is a big tree in the water, and it is located in the lower branch on the ninth day, and it is on the upper branch on the first day." "Here, Fuso appears mainly as a plant referent.
The Book of Liang recorded: "There is a dwarf country in the south, with a length of three or four feet, and a black tooth country in the south, a naked country, which can go to the Japanese for more than 4,000 miles, and the boat can travel for a year." The "4,000 miles" mentioned here is a distance of 1,700 km from Japan. According to the "Biography of Wei Zhi's Wa People": "The queen kingdom crossed the sea to the east for more than 1,000 miles, and there were many kingdoms of Japanese species. There is also a dwarf country in its south, which is three or four feet long and goes to the queen for more than 4,000 miles, and there is a naked country, the black tooth country, which can be reached by ship in its southeast for a year. "The land of the Black Tooth Country is located on the Japanese archipelago today. The Book of Liang <扶桑国传>also says: "Today, the country of Japan is called Fuso." ”
In modern times, Japan and Fuso have been linked since Liang Qichao. In addition, folk history books of the Heian period in Japan include "Fuso Brief Records" and so on. The history books also say that the people of Fusang feed on the fruits of Fusang, use the bark of trees for clothing, and use the bark of Fusang as paper. Fuso is equivalent to Japan in terms of location, so later generations used Fuso as a synonym for Japan.
