Xu Fu's position in Japan? Is he really the ancestor of the legendary Japanese?

Whether the Japanese are xu fu's descendants, whether it is true or not, Xu Fu went to sea to Dongying, which is a fact, and indeed made certain contributions to the exchanges between the two countries at that time.

According to Xu Fu, who was ordered by the King of Qin to cross the sea and east in search of the Immortal Mountains in search of the elixir of immortality, Xu Fu set out with three thousand virgin boys and girls, various plant seeds, and dry food and money, and the first search was fruitless; Later, by chance, the King of Qin went south to Langya County and saw a mirage at the bay, thinking that it was the Immortal Mountain he had been looking for for many years, so he sent Xu Fu to lead the boys and girls to go to sea for the second time, but after this departure they never returned.

Some people think that the place where Xu Fu arrived at this time was Japan, xu Fu saw that the climate was suitable, the air was fresh, and the people were kind, so he decided to give up the search for immortals and live down, so he took out the seeds to teach people to plant and fish, and lived for generations without returning to China.

In Japan, there are many legends and records about Xu Fu, and some scholars even believe that Xu Fu is the famous Emperor Shenwu in the history of the founding of Japan. The Japanese people also worship Xu Fu as their ancestor, revering him as "Si Nong Shen" and "Si Yao Shen".

The ruins of Xu Fu in Japan have preserved Xu Fu's tomb, Xu Fu Palace, Xu FuYan, Xu Fu Shanglu Monument and other sites. In 1991, the Japanese people also established a "Seofuku-michi" park in The town of Hokato, Saga Prefecture. Every autumn, the people of Saga Prefecture pay homage to Xu Fu, who is enshrined in the "Golden Lord Shrine", "Hatsuho". Every 50 years, a grand ceremony is held.

Xu Fu is the ancestor of the Japanese, which is a saying that has been circulated in China for many years and has also been recognized by many netizens. In fact, this statement is not accurate, because after all, it is a legend, and we do not have very solid evidence to confirm this statement.
