First of all, people suspect that Xu Fu really arrived in Japan. Everyone only knows that Xu Fu went out to sea, but where he went is not recorded in the history books, and no one who went with him came back. He's not in China anyway. As for whether he was hit by a tsunami or went somewhere else, everyone is uncertain. You said he went to Japan, I also said he went to America, and I also said he went to Singapore and the Philippines.
Secondly, suppose Xu Fu went to Japan, and not all of them were Japanese ancestors. When Chui Fu first went to sea, the team was huge, with hundreds of boys and girls, all of whom were carefully selected and intended to "dedicate themselves to the gods". It's not known whether Trev will be alone in the end, but if Trev takes them to Japan, then the boys and girls will get married separately when they grow up, and the children will be Japanese today.
Finally, there is the issue of indigenous people in Japan. Although there are still unsolved secrets about the origin of life, as a fairly good environment, there will still be aborigines in Japan, that is, aborigines. In this case, the descendants of the aborigines will not be the descendants of Xu Fu, no doubt.
But then again, under the assumption that Xu Fu went to Japan, some of Xu Fu's descendants are likely to be Japanese today.
How high is Cui Fu's position in Japan? If the legend holds and Chuifu goes to Japan, then Chuifu's life in Japan should be very good. Even if it is not as exaggerated as people say today that "the Japanese are all descendants of Xu Fu", Xu Fu's position must be important for Japan, which was not developed at the beginning.

First of all, Xu Fu's life ability is very strong. Legend has it that Guiguzi, the strategist's favorite disciple, was also reused by the first emperor after going down the mountain. No matter how insignificant the result was, the first emperor still trusted him as always. If you have no ability, how can you be so successful? He can personally teach the people he leads how to farm, how to fish and how to live.
Speaking of his children, there are hundreds, not a small number. And they are children, so they are very obedient. As long as Xu Fu gives the order, the children selected by thousands will obediently follow suit. So, it goes without saying that the local aborigines, just these children, will accept all kinds of assignments and let Xu Fu enjoy life.
Then there is the question of the aborigines. As a place, Japan should have aborigines. Then, in view of the desperate efforts of the "envoys in Tang Dynasty" in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it is conceivable how primitive the life of the Japanese people has been for a hundred years. Therefore, Xu Fu, who brought advanced production tools, will be the object of aboriginal worship. He will subtly change people's lives.
In this way, there is a great possibility that Xu Fu will be called "King". Because, after all, the "emperor" was invented by Ying Zheng, and not accepting it at first was also a sign of respect.
Where did Xu Fu come from? There are not many records about Xu Fu's family in ancient orthodox literature. Later generations want to know the origin and specific evolution of Xu Fu's family, based on the genealogical records of Han Dynasty works and the genealogical data of warlocks who appeared in Tang and Song Dynasties. According to scholars' research, among the Xu Genealogy, which records the history of Xu Fu's family, there is the Xu Genealogy of Three Kingdoms.
Xu Fudong's travel pictures
Xu wrote in the book that in Nanchang, now, there is a celebrity named Xu Zhi, whose ancestral home is in the East China Sea. Xu Gai, his ancestor, lived in seclusion in Zhou Nan. He didn't work as an official, plowed the fields, read books, passed down his family, was indifferent to fame and fortune, and made his own living. The book also writes that Xu Zhongsheng has two sons, the eldest son is Xuchang, the youngest son is Yan Xu, and Yan Xu is also called Xu Shang.
His son's name is Xu Mengsheng's son's name is Xu Zi and Xu Fu, also known as Xu. Wei Fulin led his ancestors to Zuzhou in the East China Sea, which is now Japan. Xu Shang knew that Chuifu was going to rebel, and he would never return, so he let Xuansun live in Hongdu (Nanchang Zhou Nan) and let his son live in seclusion in Zhou Nan. Since then, he moved to Zhou Nan and passed it on to Xu Zhimo for eight generations. There are other authors' works in Xujiapu. According to records, Xu Fu, also known as Xu's or Xi, has a name and a character. His father's name is Xu Meng and his grandfather's name is Xuchang. He always listens to his grandfather and is loyal to his great-grandfather. The blessing rate inspired 3,000 men and 3,000 women to enter the East China Sea ancestral state. Yan Xu learned that Chui Fu was going to rebel and never returned to the East China Sea. In order to avoid the genocide of Qin Shihuang, he ordered his grandson to live in Nanchang, the capital of Hongdu, and has lived in Zhou Nan ever since.
Later scholars refer to these documents, and after careful textual research and verification, they find that there are several basic similarities. At first, the Xu family was sealed in the Xia Dynasty, and most of the Xu descendants were scattered in Donghai County and surrounding areas. Xu Fu's father, grandfather Xu Chang and great-grandfather, because Xu Fu took thousands of people to Japan and didn't return, Xu was worried that Qin Shihuang's crime would be reduced, leading to genocide, so he quickly moved all his descendants to Nanchang and lived in seclusion for a long time. After such data research, it can be confirmed that Xu Fu is from Langya County in the East China Sea and Ganyu County in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province.
The topic of going to sea for blessing has been a hot topic for hundreds of years His move promoted the economic and cultural exchanges among China, Japan and South Korea, which was of far-reaching significance at that time and even now, and was of great research value in history, religion and many other aspects.

During the Qin Shihuang period, the wind of seeking immortals prevailed in society. Because of Qin Shihuang's powerful power, he wanted to enjoy this right forever. At this time, Xu Fu wrote to the king that there are three mountains on the sea where many immortals live, and many immortals can take the elixir of life. In order to gain long-term rule, Qin Shihuang ordered Xu Fu to live for a long time, and gave him 3,000 boys and girls with daily necessities such as dry food, money and seeds, and set off. However, things don't always develop according to our beautiful imagination. After a long time, they didn't find the legendary fairy mountain-let alone fairy mountain.
In the blink of an eye, many years have passed. In 2 10 BC, Chuifu once again took many people out to sea to find immortals. They came to a "vast plain" by accident. Chuifu felt that the climate there was comfortable, the air was fresh, and it was very suitable for people to live in, so he decided not to go, gave up the search for the fairy mountain, became king there, and never returned to China.
There is also a saying that the real purpose of Xu Fu's going to sea is not to seek the medicine of immortality. He brought a large number of virgins and various plant seeds, apparently to help the king of Qin expand his territory and increase his sphere of influence. Of course, this is just an inference. But it is undeniable that Xu Fu's voyage to the West has promoted the economic and cultural exchanges among China, Japan and South Korea.
The topic of Xu Fu's descendants is not clearly recorded in history. According to the incomplete records in Japanese ancient documents, it is said that the Japanese are descendants of Xu Fu and Xu Fu is the first emperor of Japan-Emperor Jimmu, which has attracted the attention of all circles in China and Japan.

According to the report, Xu Fufeng was ordered by the king of Qin to go to the sea to seek immortality medicine. Chui fook set out with three thousand boys and girls, various plant seeds and dry food money, but the first search was fruitless. Later, by chance, the king of Qin went south to Langya County and saw a mirage in the bay. He thought it was the fairy mountain he had been looking for for for many years, so he sent Xu Fu to lead the boys and girls to the sea for the second time, but they never came back after this trip. Some people think that Chuifu arrived in Japan this time. Seeing that the climate here is suitable and the air is fresh, Chuifu decided to give up seeking immortality and settle down, so he took out the seeds and taught people to fish and never returned to China for generations.
Chuifu is called the god of agriculture, sericulture and medicine by the Japanese, and many places in Japan have statues of Chuifu. At the beginning, in order to avoid the pursuit of Qin Shihuang, Chuifu asked his virgins to change their surnames to "Qin" and "Futian", and some Japanese still keep them. Even a Japanese prime minister once admitted that he was a descendant of Cui Zhenshi. But these evidences can't accurately prove that the Japanese are descendants of Xu Fu, but this statement also has certain basis.
In a word, whether the Japanese are descendants of Xu Fu or not, it is a fact that Xu Fu went out to sea to Japan, which did make some contributions to the exchanges between the two countries at that time.
Where did Cui Fu go? Chuifu has traveled to the East China Sea three times, but his whereabouts are always a mystery. Chui fook crossed the East for the first time and soon came back. Maybe he just found the sailing route at that time, or he happened to find Japan or South Korea, but because he didn't bring enough life, he came back and made up an excuse to trick Qin Shihuang into preparing young men and women, as well as various craftsmen and tools for him. It's just that Qin Shihuang was eager for success and didn't care about these things, so he didn't have doubts.

No wonder Japanese and Korean legend Xu Fu has been there, bringing them new production technology and skills. In particular, there are many relics of Xu Fu's life in Japan. There is a saying among Japanese folks that Xu Fu is the emperor in their mythology. Chui fook's whereabouts may be the most well-known in the Chui fook family. In the textual research of existing materials, there are records of Xu Shi's genealogy, among which his father and Xuchang are his grandfather. These genealogical data also show that the Xu descendants who went to Chuifu led many people eastward to Zuzhou, which is now Japan. The Xu family knew that they would rebel if they didn't return, so they were afraid that Qin Shihuang would blame them, so they quickly moved their descendants from the East China Sea to Nanchang, now, never to be an official, cultivate their morality and keep away from state affairs, so as not to cause genocide. These data are conclusive and consistent with the legend left by Xu Fu in Japan. So, Chui fook finally went to Japan and disappeared from China.
After Xu Fudong took away a lot of manpower and equipment, he came back for the third time and reported to Qin Shihuang that he had met a big fish, which may also be true. In ancient times, when I went to sea, the weather was bad for the first time and the wind and waves were very heavy. Maybe I managed to log in to Japan, but I have to come back when the materials are used up. The second time I went to Japan with people and tools was to transform and develop production there. It took ten years, perhaps because I found that I didn't have enough people and materials, so I ventured back to the Central Plains. When I came back for the third time, because it was inevitable to encounter sharks several times, whales did exist in the reasons compiled for Qin Shihuang. There may be danger of fish and sharks when he comes back, so Qin Shihuang went out to sea to meet him himself. For the third time, he took away a lot of treasures and human and material resources from the Central Plains, and Xu Fu settled in Japan for a long time.
