The Chinese and the Japanese are the people of these two countries, which seem to be opposites. China has been hurt so deeply by Japan. As the descendants of our ancestors who suffered and suffered, we will never forgive the Japanese. However, there was once another kind of relationship between the people of China and Japan circulating in the society. They say that the ancestors of the Japanese are actually Chinese. In other words, without the Chinese, there would be no Japanese.
The Chinese who is called the ancestor of the Japanese is called Xu Fu . Not only Chinese historians believe that Xu Fu is the ancestor of the Japanese, but also Japan's own textbooks have mentioned Xu Fu's contribution. However, the results of a recent DNA study on the Japanese have come out, and the results clearly show that the ancestors of the Japanese are not Xu Fu. So, why is Xu Fu considered to be the ancestor of the Japanese? What did Xu Fu bring to Japan? Who is the Japanese ancestor shown by DNA ? Today, let's take a look at the origin of Japan.
Xu Fu Dongdu , seeking longevity
Xu Fu, who was recorded in Japanese textbooks and enshrined in Japanese, is indeed Chinese. At that time, China was still in the era of the first feudal dynasty Qin Dynasty , and Xu Fu was a courtier that Qin Shi Huang highly regarded. Xu Fu claims that he has the ability to penetrate the sky and can help mortals live forever.
Don't care if Xu Fu's words are true or false, in short, Qin Shihuang really listened. Qin Shi Huang was the first emperor of China. He founded the Qin Dynasty and became the most honorable man in the world. After enjoying a life of power and prosperity, Qin Shihuang could no longer bear to lose such a life.So he wanted to seek immortality.
At first, his desire to live forever was not that strong. Later, as he grew older, Qin Shihuang became more and more eager to pursue immortality. Coincidentally, when he heard Xu Fu's skills, he ordered Xu Fu to seek immortality for him. Xu Fu may have just wanted to brag, but now, he must bite the bullet and take on this task.
Since there is no certainty, the most important thing is to get out of Qin Shihuang's eyes as soon as possible. Therefore, Xu Fu left Xi'an, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, alone. However, there was no way he could give any immortality method at all, and after a while, he could only return to his life with a shy face.
This time, he made more demands of Qin Shi Huang. He said: " I want to bring a batch of valuable items to pay tribute to God, and at the same time I need 3,000 virgin boys and girls. In this way, God can meet our requirements. " Qin Shi Huang believed it again and met Xu Fu's request. .
The next day, Xu Fu set off with this group and a large number of things. This time, he went further, crossed the ocean, and came to Dongying, which is now the boundary of Japan. This group of people, in historians and Japanese parlance, became the ancestors of the Japanese.
They lived and multiplied in Dongying, and the Japanese slowly formed a nation and a country.
Advanced experience brought to Japan
The Japanese respect Xu Fu as their ancestor, not only because Xu Fu brought the blood of the earliest Japanese, but also for the cultural development and economic development of Japan. Development played the role of foundation .At that time, Dongying was a large area of barbarians, and there was nothing. It could be said to be poor and white.
Xu Fu changed all the names of the children he brought with him. He gave them new names using another script system, and then took them to experience another way of life. He brought advanced agriculture, medicine and textile industry, these three advanced technical experience, to fill the blank of barbarian land.
Because of agriculture, Japan's planting industry began to develop, and it developed well with the support of advanced agricultural technology. Because of medicine, disease is no longer the killer of life. When you are sick, you can seek a cure, instead of waiting desperately to die. Because of the textile industry, handicraft technology has also been developed, and besides agriculture, the Japanese have another means of making a living. These three things, for Japan, are the things that establish their national strength.
It is precisely because of this that the Japanese respect Xu Fu from the bottom of their hearts. Among the temples in Japan today, there are places dedicated to Xu Fu, and the incense is quite strong. In addition, the Japanese repeatedly mentioned Xu Fu in their history books, emphasizing the status of Xu Fu's ancestors.
In addition to these, there is evidence that Xu Fu is the ancestor of the Japanese. Almost all of the boys and girls that Xu Fu brought to Dongying were from Yunnan. Now, the gene sequence of the Japanese and the gene sequence of the Yunnanese do indeed overlap. On the basis of genes, the Japanese are more certain that Xu Fu is their ancestor.
Over time, the fact that Xu Fu is the ancestor of the Japanese has almost become a recognized fact. When we Chinese people refer to little Japan, we always say: "The Chinese invented the Japanese!"
DNA test, the results are different
However, recently, some people believe that Xu Fu is Japanese ancestors This view has been questioned. Japanese DNA sequence ,It has also undergone careful and precise testing. The final test result can be said to have subverted the previous cognition, and also gave another possibility to trace the ancestors of the Japanese.
In the test results, the sequence of Japanese is highly coincident with that of Jomon and Yayoi. In contrast, the view that the Jomon and Yayoi people are the ancestors of the Japanese is more supported by scientific evidence. At the same time, some people have put forward corresponding evidence from the perspective of historical changes and social development
The place where the Jomon people first lived was cold and humid, not suitable for human habitation at all. So, they migrated to a warm and sunny island. The environment is livable and the climate is comfortable, and the Jomon people settled here. This warm island is the island of Japan.
The Yayoi people came to Japan later. The cultural exchange and the cross of blood between different ethnic groups, in this way, the Japanese talent was born. During this period, many ethnic groups wanted to dominate the island, but they were unable to do so. Therefore, the direct ancestors of the Japanese should be the Jomon and Yayoi, which is based on scientific evidence.
Conclusion
There are indications that Xu Fu may indeed be the ancestor of the Japanese, even the Japanese themselves think so. However, this view has no scientific support.
As human beings in the new era, we should still believe in science. DNA test results are the most accurate results. The ancestors of the Japanese are the Jomon and Yayoi people.
