Speaking of Xu Fu, I believe that everyone is familiar with him, because many interesting stories have happened to him.
Under the order of Emperor Qin Shihuang, he went to sea to search for the elixir of life. Dongtou Japan became the king of the local residence and reproduced his descendants.
And many Japanese today still admit that they are the descendants of Xu Fu.
Then I don’t know if you have thought about it. Why does Xu Fu bring so many virgins when he goes to sea?
1. Guiguzi’s apprentice is erudite and versatile
Xu Fu is a famous alchemist in the Qin Dynasty. He is famous for his erudition, in the final analysis it is because He has a great teacher.
Guiguzi believes that everyone knows that the best "teacher" in the Warring States Period, he taught Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, Pang Juan and other famous figures.
It is said that Xu Fu is a closed disciple of Guiguzi, following him to study medicine, astronomy, geography, bigu, qigong, martial arts and spiritual practice. He is very famous in the coastal area.
He sympathized with the people and often helped others. When he came out, it was after Qin Shihuang ascended the throne.
2, was ordered to go to the sea to seek immortals
After the Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he believed that his contributions were as great as the three emperors and five emperors, so he proclaimed himself the first emperor, hoping to inherit from generation to generation.
But with age, Qin Shihuang felt more and more powerless, so he was very eager to live forever.
Later, he knew that Xu Fu was very capable, so he sent Xu Fu out to sea to find gods and brought him the elixir of life.
Before going to sea, Xu Fu asked Qin Shihuang for five hundred virgins and five hundred virgins, and then led the fleet out to sea, but he never came back since he left, Qin Shihuang I don't know where he went.
After Xu Fu left, people renamed the village where he was born to Xu Fu village in memory of him, and built a temple to commemorate it.
3, Dongdu Japan claims to be king
Chinese historical records say that Xu Fu went to sea in search of immortal medicine and went to the plains of Japan and Guangze. Suitable for living, he settled here and established himself as a king, claiming to be Xu Fu of Qin Dynasty.
According to some Japanese documents, Xu Fu came to Japan at the time of Emperor Xiaoling of the seventh generation. He successively reached Kyushu, Shikoku Island and Mount Fuji.
Change the seven sons to Japanese surnames, namely Fukuoka, Fukushima, Fukuyama, Fukuda, Fukubata, Fukuhai, Fukuzumi, and then send them to the seven A place to live.
Later Qin surnames or surnames and places with the words Fu, Bodo, Botian, Haneda, Hatta, Hatta, etc. are all related to the Qin people led by Xu Fu.
4. Japan first come to recognize relatives
Xu Fudongdu asks for the elixir of Qin Shihuang for the first emperor of Qin. It is enough to be alone or with some men. , Why have to bring five hundred pairs of virgin boys and girls?
Maybe he had long thought of living in a paradise.
However, there is no doubt that most of the Japanese are descendants of Chinese. Even the former Prime Minister of Japan Haneda also admitted to be descendants of Xu Fu.
When Xu Fu traveled eastward, Japan had aboriginal people, so it is not accurate to say that the Japanese today are descendants of Xu Fu.
However, Xu Fu's eastward crossing did have a profound impact on Japan's Yayoi culture.
Xu Fu brought rice and taught the people here about rice farming, medical knowledge, metal smelting, and textile technology, so that Japan got rid of the original era of gathering, fishing and hunting, and entered the era of agricultural civilization.
They learned to smelt ironware, got rid of the clumsy and inefficient Stone Age, and promoted the development of agriculture;
The introduction of Chinese characters is a great influence on the Japanese nation The production of characters is of reference significance; the introduction of Yin-Yang and Five Elements doctrine and the introduction of Confucianism played an instructive effect on the Japanese people.
These are of epoch-making significance to the development of Japanese society. To this day, the Japanese people still regard Xu Fu as the "God of Farming", "God of Medicine" and "God of Textiles."
