The legend that Xu Fudong went to Japan to find the elixir for Qin Shihuang has a long history. According to research, Xu Fu's 3000 boys and girls became the ancestors of modern Japanese. In China and Japan, there are historical records about Xu Fu. And in Japan, it is said that Xu Fu is the Emperor Jimmu of ancient Japan! Because there are at least twenty places in Japan where various legends of Xu Fu are circulated, including Shizuoka, where Mount Fuji is located in the north, Kumano, Kagoshima and Kansai in Kyushu in the south, Xu Fu's traces are almost spread all over half of Japan.
Even Jing Ke, who was "cash-hungry", was no match for Qin Shihuang, but why did the government "fix" Qin Shihuang and let him travel abroad? In fact, chui fook is really capable. According to ancient records, Xu Fu is a smart, bold and cautious man, and an alchemist (that is, an early chemist), so when it comes to alchemy, he speaks clearly. At that time, Qin Shihuang had completed the unification of world hegemony, and his main purpose was to consolidate the hegemony of past dynasties. Of course, he hopes to get the elixir of life to continue to rule Qin.
This is the result of "one willing to fight and one willing to suffer". In 2 19 BC, Fulai Xu went to Qin Shihuang's side and proposed to him that the three fairy islands in the East contained elixir, which was exactly what Qin Shihuang wanted. Qin Shihuang was in high spirits after hearing this, and even Xu Fu obeyed. Otherwise, how could Qin Shihuang agree to Xu Fu's request and give him three thousand virgins, together with countless gold, silver and jewelry weapons, to go to Dongsan Island to find the elixir?
The legendary Fairy Island is actually not made up casually. According to historical records, the Oriental Sanxian Island mentioned by Xu Fu should refer to Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu. At that time, because Japan was not civilized, there was no written record of Xu Fu's landing. However, Japanese historians generally believe that Xu Fu is the Emperor Jimmu of ancient Japan, and the legend of "SHEN WOO's eastward expedition" is also based on Xu Fu's exploits after landing in Japan.
Some people also put forward another evidence that Xu Fu had traveled to Japan, that is, the height of Kansai residents suddenly increased by five centimeters. Some scholars infer that it may be the "genetic improvement" caused by those 3000 boys and girls. In addition, Japanese scientists also found that one percent of Japanese genes come from Yunnan, China, and the pronunciation of Japanese "Xundu" (that is, dialect pronunciation) has many similarities with the pronunciation of Naxi nationality in Yunnan. Don't be surprised if there is such a variation, because according to China's historical records, Chui Fu asked Qin Shihuang for 3,000 boys and girls, and the number was not enough. Qin Shihuang ordered a part of the southwest barbarians who had just conquered to act as the rest. As for the southwest Yi people, they are the ancestors of all ethnic groups in modern Yunnan, so it can explain why the Japanese have 1% Yunnan gene! The elixir of life-the elixir of life is the elixir of life, and Chitose is kiwi fruit.
If Japan is really the legendary Oriental Overseas Fairy Island, and it is the east where Xu Fudong crossed the river, then where is the elixir? According to the person in charge of the "Xu Fuhui" in Japan, the elixir of life pursued by Qin Shihuang has always existed, and it was produced in the hometown of Ma! Zhudao, located in Seto Inland Sea, lies between Kyushu, Honshu and Shikoku. It has been handed down since ancient times. There is a magical plant fruit in the hinterland of the deep valley, commonly known as "noisy". Japanese ancient books are called "Chitose". Its shape and size are like walnuts, its juice is thick and sweet, and it can be preserved for thousands of years after eating. Even if you smell it, you can extend your life span by three years and three months if you want a rope. It's really amazing. It is reported that at the end of 19, a famous Japanese botanist went to Zhudao to look for this magical fruit, and finally found a specimen of "Chitose" for him. In his works, there is such a record: "This is my most precious discovery, and its value is beyond description. Moreover, some local people use its branches as crutches, called Penglai sticks. " If the legend of "Chitose" had been introduced to Middle-earth, and Cui Fu's family lived on the coast of the East China Sea, it should have been heard. Coupled with the introduction to Qin Shihuang, who wants to live forever, it naturally makes him move. Before Qin Shihuang, Xu Fu had a clear statement about alchemy and pharmacy, which made him more convinced that this kind of "nest nest" was to eat the elixir of life. It is said that the residents of Zhudao still believe that Cui Fu visited them. Because there is a chessboard carved with stone on the rocks in the bay, the locals insist that it was left by Xu Fudong when he crossed the river. Whether Xu Fu ever traveled to Japan is still under textual research, but "Chitose" is indeed a rare plant, because according to the textual research of Beijing Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the scientific name of "Chitose" should be kiwi fruit, which belongs to vine shrub. Its roots and fruits can be used as medicine, and it has the effects of regulating qi, promoting fluid production and moistening dryness, promoting blood circulation and relieving swelling. The flesh is green and the skin is soft and hairy. Nowadays, with artificially cultivated varieties, the fruit size has also increased several times. It is said that regular eating can strengthen the body and prolong life. Its Chinese name is wild kiwifruit.
