If you translate Japanese national anthem ": The Age of the Lord " into Chinese, you will find that the content of the lyrics of the Japanese national anthem with only 28 words is actually very similar to what Qin Shihuang said more than two thousand years ago.
Japan's national anthem lyrics are: "My emperor's imperial tradition has been passed down to the eight thousand generations, until the small stone turns into a giant rock, until the huge rock grows green moss."
And Qin Shihuang also said:
html l3 "I am the first emperor . Later generations count, the second and third generations have passed down forever."
Japanese culture is mixed with a lot of Chinese culture, because Japan came to China to study very early and brought the Chinese set back to China to develop their system.
is a bit ridiculous when even the national anthem symbolizing a country's national emotions are copied by the words of the Chinese emperor, which makes Japanese culture mediocre.
Everyone knows When the Tang Dynasty was , our country was strong and the country was relatively open, attracting many foreigners to come to study and live. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was also generous and allowed the Japanese to settle down, do business, and even become officials in the Central Plains.
At that time, Japan also sent to send Tang envoy to study. After learning for half a pound, he hurriedly brought Chinese culture back to . As a result, because he was not good at learning skills, he made a lot of jokes.
The myth of the alchemist
In fact, China had contacts with Japan during the Qin Dynasty period, but the people sent out did not come back. Qin Shihuang was superstitious and always believed that there must be an elixir of immortality in the world, and kept sending people to sea to find this kind of immortal medicine.
According to the "Records of the Grand Historian", he sent Xu Fu to bring a group of boys and girls for sacrifices to the direction of Japan.
There are gods on the sea that can refine immortal medicines. It is entirely a myth made up by the sorcerers of the martial arts world to coax him in order to please Qin Shihuang. But Qin Shihuang believed that it would be better to trust his existence than to trust his absence. It would be better to look for it than not.
So the gods and immortal islands, the most boasted by Xu Fu , took on this task gloriously.
Xu Fu took a walk on the sea, but naturally he couldn't find anything, let alone any gods. But when he came back, he still reported to Qin Shihuang that he had seen the gods, but the gods thought that the gifts he had prepared were not generous enough and refused to give the immortal medicine.
When Qin Shihuang heard this, he was overjoyed. added more boys and girls and various crops to the deaths of Xu Fu. As a result, Xu Fu went there this time and did not come back . Qin Shihuang also died of illness in his prime.
Did Xu Fu die at the sea? No, he has rich navigation knowledge and experience, and in Japan there is also Xu Fu Tomb , and a shrine that collects Xu Fu's supplies. It holds activities to worship Xu Fu every year.
It can be seen that Xu Fu arrived in Japan successfully that year, and felt that he was too comfortable and lingered, so he left Qin Shihuang behind.
A Japanese scholar once praised China's rice , saying that thanks to the rice that the Chinese have rumored to have been stored, Japan has saved people from the long-term famine.
Xu Fu went to Japan not only spread China's agricultural civilization, but also traditional cultures such as writing and Chinese studies. As Qin people , Professor Xu Fu has the most Japanese people, probably the influence of Qin Shihuang.
The ambition of the First Emperor was plagiarized
After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he re-designed himself, no longer called King of Qin , but Qin Shihuang . For this reason, he announced the bold words of the above generations to rule the world.
This is the first time that an emperor has ended the dispute between the nations and unify the Central Plains. Qin Shihuang believes that his great achievements should be passed down for generations.
Qin II His successors will use the titles of "Qin II" , "Qin III " to continue Qin III 's rule over the world.
Japan's national anthem was created in 1869. At that time, Japanese emperor specially found it. It was Dashan Iwai , who is quite proficient in Chinese literature and history, to write lyrics.
Dashanyan was originally a soldier and had a lot of militarism in his mind. According to his idea, something as important as the national anthem should reflect Japan's war spirit and the rule of the emperor.
He had read a book called "Penglai Mountain". thought there were a few good sentences that fit his desired ideas, so he excerpted them and created "The King's Age".
Seeing the three words "Penglai Mountain" , I instantly understood the Japanese plagiarism. When Xu Fu deceived Qin Shihuang, he told him that there were three fairy mountains in the sea, Fangzhang Mountain, Penglai Mountain and Yingzhou Mountain.
After Xu Fu came back from the sea for the first time, he told Qin Shihuang that he saw Penglai Mountain. There were indeed magic medicines on the mountain, but there was sea monster blocking it, so he did not succeed in climbing.
However, Penglai Mountain was always fabricated by Xu Fu. The second time he asked him to go to Penglai Mountain to get the elixir. He knew that he could not hide it, so Xu Fu had to escape to Japan and spread the Dongtu culture in Japan.
I don’t know how many Japanese people know The lyrics of the national anthem "The King's Age" that they are proud of are so similar to the words of a great Chinese emperor more than two thousand years ago.
In the 19th century, Japan had already begun to expand externally. The lyrics of "The Legend of King" just fit Japanese ideas. Since then, Japan has launched a war of aggression. I believe this song has given them great courage.
But what is ridiculous is that they believe that the national anthem "The Age of the Lord" that symbolizes hope and courage may be derived from it, and its cultural heritage is so poor. After entering the peaceful era, Japan's dream of expansion was even more impossible to realize. It seemed very embarrassing to play this national anthem full of aggressionism.
