Since the Qin Dynasty, there have been very few emperors in China's history who can be called "one emperor for thousands of years". The most uncontroversial is the "Qin Emperor Han Wu", the state government began with the first emperor, and the territory was opened up in Han Wu. Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, established a centralized state, the merit is great, he wrote the same text, laid the foundation for the inheritance of Chinese culture, even if there are many dialects now, ten different sounds, through the chinese characters this link, all over the exchange, there is no problem. Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty exalted Confucianism, allowing the essence of Chinese culture to be inherited. If it is said that the First Emperor made the concept of great unification deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, then Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty gave this nation the confidence to stand tall for thousands of years. Among the more than four hundred emperors, if four "Emperors of the Ages" were to be elected, the Qin Emperor Han Wudangren would not let him be among them.
As the saying goes, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general, and those who can make meritorious achievements together with the "Emperor of the Ages" are by no means idle people. In other words, it was looked upon by the Emperor of the Ages, reused, and kept a few brushes by the people around him.
Oniguzi, with the wisdom of the heavens and the earth, the disciples he taught were all heroes. There is Su Qin, who hangs the seal of the Six Kingdoms, and Zhang Yi, who breaks the Alliance of the Six Kingdoms to help Qin unify. Bing Sheng Sun Zhen, Pang Juan, the god of war Bai Qi and Li Mu, the famous XiangShang Martingale, Li Si... There are more than 500 disciples of The Valley, and they set off a warring states storm, involving the fate of various countries and influencing the direction of history. There are many disciples of Oniguzi, all of whom are outstanding, have extraordinary skills, and then few can get a good death. His disciple, Xu Fu, was one of the few disciples who had attained a good death, and he was also considered the first emperor of Japan.
Xu Fu is a disciple of Ghost Guzi. OniGuzi is a mysterious person, and each disciple only teaches one field technique, does not teach Xu Fu to cross the line, does not teach the strategy of governing the country, does not teach the art of argumentative wisdom, and does not teach the military family strategy. He was only taught alchemy techniques, medicine, astronomy, navigation, valley breaking, health maintenance, and other skills that were considered to be side doors and left paths at that time.
For Xu Fu's deeds, everyone is most familiar with Xu Fudongdu. Xu Fu's deeds were first seen in the "Records of History" "Qin Shi Huang Benji", after the Qin Emperor unified the Central Plains, after winning the world, he hoped to live forever and began to seek immortal medicine, and ruled his country with life and life. At this time, Xu Fu appeared in front of the First Emperor as an alchemist, and won the trust of the First Emperor with his medical knowledge, alchemy and health care techniques, and was appointed as the Imperial Physician.
After Qin Shi Huang made an eastern tour of Mount Taishan to seal Zen, around 219 BC, Xu Fu threw himself into his favor and lobbied him that there were three immortal mountains in the East China Sea, Namely Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou, and that the mountains were inhabited by gods and people, and there were elixirs for immortality. The First Emperor rewarded him with a large amount of gold and silver treasures, and let Xu Fu enter the sea to seek immortals. Xu Fu went to sea twice, and the first time he searched for immortals was unsuccessful, at this time Qin Shi Huang was burning books to pit Confucianism, and Xu Fu was not in the Central Plains and escaped a disaster. He returned empty-handed, falsely claiming that he had obtained the elixir, but was blocked by the big fish in the sea, and the Qin Emperor believed it to be true, and sent troops to hunt the big fish (sharks or whales). Associated with the primitive whaling methods of the Aikimus people living near the Arctic Circle, it is possible for Qin Bing to hunt big fish.
In 210 BC, Xu Fu led 3,000 boys, girls, skilled craftsmen, grain, medicine, clothing and shoes, agricultural tools, grain seeds, books and other supplies to the sea again to seek immortals. This time Xu Fu is gone, disappearing into the tunnel of history, becoming a mystery.
So where did Xu Fu go? According to Chinese sources, in later history books, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Book of the Later Han Dynasty all believe that Xu Fu went to Japan southeast of the Chinese sea, and some people think that it is Taiwan. Five generations later, the Zhou "Yichu Liu Ti", the Song Dynasty Ouyang Xiu's "Japanese Sword Song" explicitly mentions Xu Fu's ultimate goal of the Wu kingdom (Japan). Ouyang Xiu also pointed out in the book that Xu Fu carried a large number of classics and was saved in Japan from the Confucian movement of book burning. Japan's "Orthodox Record of the Divine Emperor" "Confucius's Whole Scripture Only Exists in Japan" also verifies Ouyang Xiu's statement from the side. There are also many theories that Xu Fu went to the Ryukyu Islands, or Jeju Island, but these theories are not mainstream.
Regarding Xu Fu's whereabouts, most of the information points to Japan. So how are the Japanese historical records recorded? The Japanese historical materials "Nihon Shoki" and "The Orthodox Record of the Divine Emperor" only mention that there were Qin people in Japan, and there is no record of Xu Fu's family lineage. The folk material "Xu Fugu Asks the Field" is very detailed about its family lineage.
There are still many ruins related to Xu Fu in Japan, such as Xu Fu Palace, Xu Fu Ancestral Hall, Xu Fu Monument, Xu Fu Temple and other more than fifty sites, as well as more than 20 landing sites, dozens of legends and stories. Traces of Xu Fu's activities are widely distributed in Japan, mt. Fuji, Waka Prefecture, Hiroshima Prefecture, Akita... Xu Fu is revered as the "God of Farming" and "The God of Medicine", and Japan holds a huge festival every year. Wei Tingsheng's "Xu Fu Entered Japan's Founding Examination" and Peng Shuangsong's "Xu Fu is the Japanese Emperor Shenwu" both believe that Xu Fu is the first founding emperor of Japan, Emperor Shenwu Nakada Xuan.
There is a lot of controversy in the field of historiography about Xu Fu's being Emperor Shenmu of Japan. After all, when Xu Fudong crossed to Japan, there were original residents, and it is also inaccurate to say that the Japanese are xu Fu's descendants. However, when Xu Fu came to Japan, Japan was still in the era of stone tool wilderness, and Xu Fu brought a lot of culture and advanced technology, which played a crucial role in Japan's leapfrog development.
During the Xufu Dongdu period, there was no compass navigation technology, and wooden boats powered by sails only had the level of coastal navigation. However, along the offshore coastline, Xu Fu's navigation route may have crossed the Bohai Strait on the Shandong Peninsula, along the Korean Peninsula, and crossed east through the Tsushima Strait to Japan.
In view of Xu Fu's contribution to Japan, the Japanese have long regarded him as the "father of the nation", and at the 1975 Hsu Fu Conference in Hong Kong, Mikasa Palace (the younger brother of Emperor Showa) emotionally said, "Xu Fu is the father of our Japanese people." When the mayor of Shingu City in Wakayama Prefecture visited China, he presented three trees from the legendary elixir of tendai wuyao to China, which once again confirmed the recognition of the Japanese team Xu Fudongdu Qiuxian. Former Japanese Prime Minister Haneda Hasthi has repeatedly said that Xu Fu is the ancestor of the Haneda family.
China and Japan are one and the same, and Chinese culture has a huge influence on Japan. Everyone believes that Kanzen Todo had the most profound influence on Japanese cultural producers, and Kyoto and Nara still preserve a large number of Tang Dynasty style buildings. However, people ignore that as early as 800 years ago, Xu Fudong crossed Japan and brought Japan directly from the Stone Age into civilized society, and Xu Fu played the most critical role in the leapfrog development of Japanese culture and other aspects.
