Xu Fu, in China's ancient books, is a clever, bold and cautious liar, because he is a "alchemist" and probably an early chemist. 2200 years ago, when Qin Shihuang completed his great cause of unifying the whole country and building the Great Wall, he began to look forward to the magic of immortality. At this time, Fulai Xu went to the court of Qin Shihuang in 2 19 BC, claiming that he could go to the fairy mountain in the east to get the elixir for Qin Shihuang. According to him, Penglai, abbot and Yingzhou recorded in Shan Hai Jing are in the East China Sea, and he is willing to go there to get the elixir for Qin Huang.
As a result of the first trip to the East, Chui fook didn't bring back the elixir of life. He told the first emperor that there was indeed a magic medicine in the East, but the fairy wanted 3,000 virgins and all kinds of human gifts. At the same time, there is a whale in the way at sea, and he wants to shoot the big fish back with a strong bow. Qin Shihuang believed it, completely agreed to the conditions and helped him cross the east again. So, Chuifu never came back, and he became king in the "land of Guangping Plain" in the East, and never came back to me again. According to textual research, Xu Fu is not a legendary figure. 1982, it is further verified that his hometown is Xufu Village in the suburb of Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province today.
Seeing this, I can't help wondering who Qin Shihuang was, because he cut down professional assassins like Jing Ke. How could they be cheated so badly by a Xu Fu? Unless ... . Unless we can convince Qin Shihuang that there really is a fairy mountain in the East, there really is an elixir on it. The legendary fairy island is not all illusory. There are no fairies, but there is an island. According to Japanese records, what Xu Fu said was Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu in Japan. In Japanese historical materials, the record of Xu Fu is ambiguous. This can't blame the Japanese, because when Xu Fu landed, Japan was still in the age of ignorance and there was no reliable written record!
However, according to some Japanese historians, Emperor Jimmu Xu Fu, a famous monarch in ancient Japan, landed in the Kansai Plain of Japan. The legend of "SHEN WOO's Expedition to the East" that swept through Japan was based on the story of Xu Fu's landing in Japan and fighting in the south and the north. Japanese people's thinking is unique, so when studying the problem of Xu Fu, their ideas are also full of personality. According to archaeological findings, they analyzed the remains of ancient tombs and proved that during Xu Fudong's crossing, the average height of residents in Feng Jingen area of Kansai suddenly increased by 5 cm. It can be inferred that this is probably the promotion of local nationalities caused by the landing of Xu Fu and his men. At that time, thousands of people were not a small number. Another interesting phenomenon is that Japanese scientists found that Japanese 1% gene comes from Yunnan, China, and the pronunciation of Japanese training reading (dialect pronunciation) has many similarities with the pronunciation of Naxi nationality in Yunnan.
What's going on here? From Xu Fudong, you may find the answer. According to China's historical records, it is impossible for Qin Shihuang to put together three thousand virgins demanded by Xu Fu. At this time, Qin Jun had just conquered Southwest Yi, so Qin Shihuang ordered these conquered tribes to provide the needed virgins, Southwest Yi, which is now the * * * ancestors of all ethnic groups in Yunnan. Qin Shihuang's tyranny is deeply engraved in the memories of all ethnic groups in southwest China, so that hundreds of years later Meng Huo uprising was called by the Han people to recruit boys and girls, which shows its universal harmfulness. Therefore, if these descendants of the Southwest Yi people are integrated into the Japanese race through Xu Fudong, they will bring 1% Yunnan gene to the Japanese.
In Japan, as far as I know, there are at least 20 places where the legend of Xu Fu is circulated, from Shizuoka, where Mount Fuji is located in the north, to Kumano and Kagoshima in Kyushu in the south, and then to Kansai. Legends in these places all involve two themes: Penglai and Fairy Medicine. So, is the legend of Xu Fu's so-called elixir groundless? Or is it true? As we all know, there is no panacea in the world today. Viagra at most, not to mention 2200 years ago. However, I believe that Trev's elixir has a little shadow. Even when Chuifu crossed to the East for the first time, maybe he believed it himself.
Qin Shihuang was never a fool. If Xu Fuquan fabricates stories, how can he fool this shrewd emperor? That's the prison mother who killed her father and unified the lean generation of the six countries. Even if he is eager to seek medical treatment, won't Trevor's first failure arouse his suspicion? Chui fook is also very strange. If he has never been to Japan, how does he know that he can reach Japan by sailing eastward? And you can conquer this country with thousands of people and high-tech weapons with strong bows and crossbows? He obviously knows something about Japan.
If Japan has really always been the legendary birthplace of fairy medicine, and Chui Fu is good at rhetoric and advocacy, it is more logical to win the trust of Qin Shihuang and obtain the necessary personnel and equipment. Otherwise, if you want to let Qin Shihuang take out the original blood by planting flowers on the raw soil, it may be easier for you to play with your head. The question is, did ancient Japan really have an "elixir of life"? Fortunately, when I was studying this problem, I came across an article by Mr. Tsumura Dingfu, director of the Chui Fu Society of Japan. According to his description, this magical elixir not only exists, but also comes from his hometown of Zhudao. Even more surprising, it still leaves a legacy today.
Zhudao, located in Seto Inland Sea, is sparsely populated among Kyushu, Honshu and Shikoku. It has been circulated since ancient times, and its deep valley hinterland has a magical atmosphere. This spirit is the fruit of a plant, the common name is Momo, and it is called Chitose in Japanese ancient books. This kind of fruit is as big as a walnut, and its juice is thick and sweet. It is said that it can be preserved for thousands of years, and it can prolong life for three years and three months. This kind of plant is extremely rare in the world, even for local people. /kloc-at the end of 0/9th century, Japanese botanist Tomitaro Makino once went there. After hard work, he collected samples of Chitose and wrote to his friends with ecstasy: "This is my most precious discovery, and its value is beyond description." In Zhudao folk, there is also the habit of making walking sticks with branches of this plant, which is called Penglai stick.
If the legend of "Chitose" was once introduced to Middle-earth, and Cuifu lived on the coast of the East China Sea, it should not be very strange to hear it. It is not impossible for such a legend to be attached to and introduced into Qin Shihuang's ears through other channels, so it will be very convincing at this time. Even people in Zhudao still believe that Cui Fu has been to their island, because there is a chessboard carved with stone on the rocks in the bay, which the locals say was left by Cui Fu. Here, it seems that a hypothesis can be put forward, that is, the elixir that Xu Fu sought for Qin Shihuang is probably the magical fruit produced by Zhudao-Chitose.
But what exactly is "Chitose"? Does it still exist? With this question, I consulted the phone book and got in touch with Zhudao. The conclusion is very encouraging. A civil servant in Zhudao actually sent me a photo, confirming that Chitose not only exists, but also is expanding artificial cultivation. I sent the photos to an old classmate of mine in Beijing Academy of Agricultural Sciences, hoping that he could give me an appraisal conclusion. Is this really a panacea that can make people live forever?
A week later, my friend wrote back and told me that this "chitose" is indeed a rare plant, and its scientific name is Actinidia chinensis Piano. Take root and fruit as medicine. It has the effects of regulating middle energizer, regulating qi, promoting fluid production, moistening dryness, relieving fever and vexation, 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 increased several times. Regular consumption can strengthen the body and prolong life-it also has a China name-wild kiwifruit.
God, did Qin Shihuang go to great lengths to find it? !
Then, we can talk about the story of Mr. Xu Fu.
Chuifu, a child born on the coast of the East China Sea, has heard many magical legends from sea travelers since he was a child, including a fairy island in the East China Sea, which is now Japan, where a fruit can be eaten for a long time. Of course, he also learned sailing and maybe some Japanese. . . Chui fook has grown up. At this time, Qin Shihuang began to want the immortal elixir, and Xu Fu applied for it, because he thought that all he knew was the elixir that the emperor needed. Qin Shihuang took him with a grain of salt, but seeing that he was determined and didn't look like a liar under all kinds of tests, he sent personnel to go with him by boat-Xu Fu succeeded, and more successfully, he was likely to board Japan! Boarded the Bamboo Island! Even really found the elixir of life-"Chitose"!
A dramatic scene appeared. When Xu Fu finally succeeded in finding the "elixir of life", he probably began to complain, perhaps because he tasted it first-can it die after eating it? Maybe it's because local people in Japan told him that dad died ugly after eating it, or maybe it's because his soldiers of Bashu descent told him that it was eaten by monkeys on the mountain opposite our house! Anyway, when Chui fook saw this thing, he knew that he had been cheated and was taken in by the Japanese boasting. -Japanese this temperament is unacceptable, I'm afraid Xu Fu will soon see it, they also dare to call towers! How dare a ditch be called Chuan! What shall we do to take this thing back to the emperor? If he eats it, he will definitely cut off my head! Let me tell the emperor that we have been cheated. . . The emperor will cut off my head, too What if you run away? God, I'm not going to become a savage in this wilderness, am I? ! Besides, there may be someone to supervise. I believe that Cui Fu's first expedition to the East may not be a "plenipotentiary".
Chui fook is a wise man, otherwise how can he be an emperor in the future?
Anyway, no one around him knows Japanese, so he said to the people who came with him, "Well, as you can see, everyone here says there is an elixir, but there is no one here, so we have to go east." There are whales on the road, and Poseidon wants 3,000 boys and girls, otherwise we won't let them pass. " . . "These people may shake their heads like those who sailed with Columbus." My Lord, let's go back and discuss it with the emperor first. "Chui fook can go back and discuss with qin shi huang. He has seen the local beauty, the warmth of the climate, the backwardness of the tribe and the fact that people are short and not good at fighting-maybe he is also calculating. . . Why don't I be the leader here? The emperor can't control that far, but. . . Of course, there must be luck in this. Anyway, this guy fooled him into finding the "elixir of life". Qin Shihuang is not idle at this time, and he will find someone to verify Xu Fu's information. Then, someone will collect the legends of the East China Sea and give them to him: there is indeed a fairy mountain in the east, and there is indeed a saying that the fairy mountain produces fairy medicine-the rumored things are really mixed together. When Xu Fu came back, Qin Shihuang saw that it was a narrow escape-authentic, so. . . In this way, it is not surprising that Xu Fucheng is the Japanese Emperor Emperor Jimmu. Of course, the elixir is put aside for the time being. Does it really work? You can try it yourself. . .
Of course, this is just a legend.
