The history of Xu Fu's hometown

Cui Fu's deeds were first seen in the biographies of Qin Shihuang and Hengshan in Historical Records.

(It is called "Xu" in Biography of Qin Shihuang and "Xu Fu" in Biography of Hengshan in Huainan). According to historical records, Qin Shihuang hoped to live forever. In 2 19 BC, Xu wrote that there were three fairy mountains in the sea, Penglai, abbot and Yingzhou, where immortals lived. So Qin Shihuang sent Xu Shiling to lead thousands of boys and girls, as well as three years of food, clothing, shoes, socks, medicines and farm tools to seek immortality in the sea, which cost a lot of money. However, Xu led many people to the sea for several years and did not find the holy mountain. In 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang traveled eastward. Xu explained that he was blocked by huge mackerel after going out to sea and could not sail. He asked more shooters to deal with mackerel. Qin Shihuang agreed and sent a shooter to shoot a big fish. Later, Chui Fu led many people to the sea and came to the "Guangze Plain" (probably Kyushu, Japan). He felt that the local climate was warm, the scenery was beautiful, and the people were friendly, so he stopped being king and taught the local people the methods of farming, fishing, whaling and paper arrangement, and never came back. Later, history books recorded that Xu Fu went to sea, but there were different opinions about where he went. The History of the Three Kingdoms, Biography of Wu Quan in Wu Shu, History of the Later Han Dynasty, Biography of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Records of the Brackets are all well known, but their specific locations are unknown. In the last week of the Five Dynasties, Yi Chu, who became a monk, explicitly mentioned for the first time that Xu Fu finally reached the "wall Japan" in "Six Sticks and Yi Chu".

It's Japan, the Qin family today. ) is his descendant, and said that after Xu Fu arrived, it was called Mount Fuji Penglai. More than 2200 years ago, Qin Shihuang gained supreme power. In order to enjoy this power forever, he dreams of eternal life. Therefore, people are constantly sent to seek medicine for immortality. Once, after Qin Shihuang went to Mount Tai to meditate, he passed by Longkou, which was then called Huangxian County. Under the arrangement of local leaders, alchemist Xu Fu met the emperor as a local celebrity and continued to investigate with the group. When he arrived in Langya (now Jiaonan), Xu Fu officially wrote that there were three sacred mountains in the Bohai Sea, where immortals lived and ate the fairy medicine in the mountains. They are all immortal, and he is willing to go through fire and water to get the fairy medicine for the emperor. Qin Shihuang was very happy and gave him a lot of gold and silver treasures and told him to go to the sea to seek immortality. But before long, Xu Fu came back and said that he had met the immortal, but the immortal didn't think it was a gift. He needed beautiful children, men and women and various craftsmen's instruments as gifts to get the fairy medicine. Qin Shihuang then sent 500 children and men to the sea with Xu Fu.

In the second year, Taishi traveled eastward again and came to see Xu Fu. Although he was attacked by the assassin Zhang Yong with a sledgehammer on the road, he arrived in Langya as planned, but unfortunately he didn't see Xu Fu. When I saw Xu Fushi again, it was already ten years later, and he traveled eastward for the third time. Chui fook still didn't find the fairy medicine. His explanation is this: I was going to get the fairy medicine, but there was a big fish guarding the fairy mountain at sea and it failed. This time, Qin Shihuang personally led the archers out to sea to fight with the big dumpling fish, killed a big shark and went back excitedly.

Think that's great, chui fook can finally get the fairy medicine. However, he still died on his way back to Xianyang without waiting for the elixir. People all over the country didn't know that his men wanted to usurp the throne. Chui fook was riding a tiger for a while, and there was no excuse. So in 2 10 BC, he crossed the ocean with a mighty team of immortals, looking for the illusory Three Gods Mountain and the panacea. Since then, I have never been back to the Central Plains. Hometown Controversy: May 16 is two days away from the annual Xufu Cultural Festival in Longkou. This is the seventh time. At that time, an unveiling ceremony will be held in Xu Fuyuan Square for two statues of Xu Fu, one of which will be presented to Jeju Island, South Korea, and will stand in the exhibition hall of Xu Fu. Longkou people always think that Xu Fu's hometown should be Longkou.

The earliest record of Xu Fu's deeds is Historical Records. At that time, Sima Qian, ordered by Taishi in the Western Han Dynasty, was only 70 or 80 years away from Xu Fudong crossing the river. It must be because this incident has a wide influence, so he recorded the grand occasion of seeking immortals at that time in his immortal works: "Qi Xu Fu and others wrote that there are three sacred mountains in the sea where immortals live. Please hurry and beg with boys and girls. So I sent thousands of Xu Fatong men and women to the sea to seek immortality. " Sima Qian said that Xu Fu was a neat man.

There is a xu fuzhen in the northwest of Longkou City. The town is named after Xu Fu, the alchemist of Qin Dynasty, and there is a Xugong Temple in the town. Xugong Temple is a small courtyard with a statue of Xu Fu and an exhibition of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries held by Xu Fu. "There used to be a small temple here, which was built by local people to commemorate Xu Fujian. In front of the temple is Xugezhuang, which is said to be the hometown of Xu Fu. " Li Shuzhi, manager of Xugong Temple, said. Not many people usually come here to visit, but every time he comes, Li Shuzhi will tell the tourists so enthusiastically that Longkou is Xu Fu's hometown.

Sima Qian did not say Xu Fu's native place. Then why do Longkou people think that Xu Fu's hometown is Longkou? This stems from the record in History of Han Geography: "There are seventeen counties in Donglai County, Xu Xiang." Regarding the origin of Xu Xiang, Yu Qin, a scholar who studied the history and geography of Qi in Yuan Dynasty, said in Qi Cheng: "Xu Xiang was named after Xu Fu's quest for immortality." Qi Cheng is regarded as a rare book by historians and is one of the famous records in China. "Township" was an administrative regional unit in the Qin Dynasty, while Xu Xiang County in the Han Dynasty referred to Huangxian County. Now Longkou City has preserved many relics about Xu Fu. For example, Xu is the most popular surname in Huangxian County; In the east of the city, there is a village of Deng Ying by the Jiang Shui River. It is said that when Xu Fudong crossed Yingzhou, he gathered boys and girls from here and set sail. A statue of Xu Fu stands on the scenic Di Island, which was originally named Ji Island. It was named after Xu Fudong's temporary placement of his mother on this island. Of course, this is just a legend.

Ganyu-the place where string songs are sung is hometown: there is another saying about Xu Fu's hometown. 1In June, 1982, Ganyu County (now Ganyu District) of Jiangsu Province conducted a place name survey and found a natural village named "Xufu" one kilometer south of Beijinshan Township, the county seat. According to local people, "Xufu" was originally called "Xufu" and was still called "Xufu Village" in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Judging from the unearthed cultural relics, Ganyu County belonged to Qi in the Warring States Period and Langya County in the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, Xufu Village, located one kilometer south of Jinshan Township in the north of Ganyu County, Jiangsu Province, is also known as the hometown of Xufu. At present, there are many debates on these two statements in the history circle, because there is no conclusive evidence and the debate will not end for a while. But this does not prevent people from commemorating Xu Fu.

Xu

Xufu Village, Jinshan Town (formerly xu fuzhen), Ganyu District, Jiangsu Province, is the hometown of Xu Fu, the alchemist of the Qin Dynasty. Chui fook (? —? ), that is, Xu (note, it is "Shi" [ㄈㄨˊ] [Fu ˊ] instead of "Shi" [ㄕˋˋˋ]), the word, was born in Qi State in Qin Dynasty (now Xufu Village, Jinshan Town, Ganyu District). In 2 19 BC, he was sent to Japan by Qin Shihuang, with 3000 children and men, looking for the medicine of immortality. He taught farming, sericulture and medicine in Japan and became the god of farming, sericulture and medicine in Japan. He was called the first generation Emperor Jimmu by Japanese descendants and revered as a god by Japanese people. In Nimia, Japan, there is Cui Fuyuan, the tomb of Cui Fu. The people of Ganyu held Xu Fu Festival three times from 65438 to 0990 to commemorate the earliest Sino-Japanese friendship envoy.

In June, 1982, a place name survey was conducted in Ganyu County, Jiangsu Province, and a natural village named "Xufu" was found one kilometer south of Beijinshan Township, the county seat. According to local people, "Xufu" was originally called "Xufu" and was still called "Xufu Village" in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Judging from the unearthed cultural relics, Ganyu County belonged to Qi in the Warring States Period and Langya County in the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, Xufu Village, one kilometer south of Jinshan Township in the north of Ganyu County, Jiangsu Province, is considered as the hometown of Xufu.

Cuifu Village has Cuifu Temple dedicated to the statue of Cuifu, and Cuifu's hometown has a cultural relic showroom and a portrait gallery of Han Dynasty. On the square in front of Xufu Temple, there is the tablet of Xufu Village inscribed by Mr. Zhao Puchu and the tablet of Xufu Hometown inscribed by Mr. Peng Chong. People at home and abroad poured out their respects.

The 7th Xufu Culture Festival and the International Symposium on Xufu Culture

The 7th Chui Fu Culture Festival and the International Symposium on Chui Fu Culture, with the theme of "Xu Fu's crossing to the East and Harmonious East Asia", have recently closed. In Ganyu, the hometown of Xufu, Lianyungang, with the completion of the Xufu Temple, the unveiling of the statue of Xufu, the launching ceremony of "Xufu Research at Home and Abroad" and the holding of the large-scale literary evening of "The Charm of Ganyu-Xufu's Hometown" held by CCTV, the scale and influence of this year's Xufu Cultural Festival have exceeded those of previous years. (Guangming Daily 2007- 10-30 08:52)

The International Symposium on Cuiwei Culture is the highlight of Cuiwei Culture Festival. The conference received dozens of papers, and more than 100 experts and scholars from China, Japan, South Korea and other countries discussed Xu Fu culture with unique perspectives and novel insights. Former Japanese Prime Minister Tsutomu Hata made a special trip to the meeting and made a special speech. More than two thousand years ago, Xu Fudong's feat of crossing Japan had a far-reaching impact on the economic and cultural development of East Asia. This peaceful way of communication is a model for human beings to support each other and make common progress. At the seminar, experts believed that the purpose of studying Xu Fudong's crossing should not be limited to the place where Xu Fu set sail and landed, but should take Xu Fu's study as a platform, carry forward Xu Fu's spirit, spread the voice of peaceful cooperation, and make positive contributions to the friendly development between China and Japan and the construction of "harmonious East Asia".

The love affair between former Japanese Prime Minister Haneda and Xu Fu's hometown

In the past five years, Mr. Haneda, a former Japanese prime minister and member of parliament, visited Xu Fu's hometown twice, once on June 25, 2002; I arrived in Lianyungang on October 25th, 2007/KLOC-0. The two trips to Xu Fu's hometown were both "Twenty-Five", which seemed meaningful. However, as far as I know, this is purely a coincidence and not a deliberate arrangement.

My long-cherished wish has come true.

Mr. Haneda was born in Nagano Prefecture, Japan, 1935. 1958 Graduated from the Department of Economics of Chengcheng University, worked in Oda Jigong * * Automobile Company 10 years. He used to be the head of the automobile class of Gonggong, and the secretary of Congressman Haneda Takeshiro (Haneda's father). From 1969 to 12, a total of 10 was elected to the House of Representatives. 1985, successively served as Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Minister of Finance, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan. 1994 was elected as the 80th Prime Minister of Japan on April 25th. Only two months after taking office, he gave way to Murayama's cabinet on June 26 of that year. Later, he served as leader of the Sun Party and secretary-general of the Democratic Party. He is now a member of the House of Representatives and an adviser to the Cui Fu Society in Japan. For many years, he was proud of Xu Fu's descendants and made persistent efforts to study Xu Fu.

On June 22-24, 2002, the Chuifu International Seminar sponsored by China Chuifu Club was held in Beijing Jintai Hotel. Relevant experts and scholars from China, Japanese, Korean, Taiwan Province and other countries and regions attended the meeting. Due to the election of Japanese House of Representatives, Mr. Haneda was unable to attend the opening ceremony of the meeting, and entrusted his cousin, Mr. Haneda Ji Shu, to read his congratulatory message at the meeting.

At 3pm on June 24th, Mr Haneda and his second son, Jiro Haneda, came to Jintai Hotel to attend the closing ceremony of the Cuifu International Symposium. He said with warm applause: "I came with my son to seek roots in China!"

Mr. Haneda of Kan Kan was so excited that he said, "We have the genetic factors of Xu Fu and the Qinyang Pavilion in my hometown. As the offspring of chui fook, we are proud ... "

In the speech, China Tsutomu Hata told everyone: "I'm going to visit Xufu Temple in Xufu Village, Ganyu County!"

After the speech, Li Lianqing, Chairman of China Trevor Club, specially introduced the humble Mr. Haneda to me. This is the first time I know this famous Japanese politician.

The next day (June 25th), Mr. Haneda and his second son, Jiro Haneda, accompanied by relevant personnel of the China Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, flew from Beijing to Qingdao, and then transferred from Qingdao to Ganyu. He was warmly received by the mayor, and accompanied by mayor Liu, paid a visit to Xufu Temple.

Obviously, Mr. Haneda's first visit to Ganyu was arranged on his own initiative, with the purpose of tracing back to the source and offering sacrifices to his ancestors.

Mr. Haneda traveled for a day, leaving behind Mo Bao, the "ancestor of Japan-China friendship", and planting a ginkgo tree symbolizing Sino-Japanese friendship. He said, "I am the descendant of Xu Fu like you", which is a heartfelt and touching statement.

A picture and a newspaper.

In the office of Mr. Haneda, the first member of the Japanese House of Representatives in Tokyo, there are two very striking pictures: one is the oil painting "Qinyang Pavilion" by Mr. Haneda's uncle, and the other is the photographic work of former Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Haneda taken by Zhang Xiaohui, a reporter of Cangwu Evening News in Lianyungang, China. These two works have become vivid carriers for Mr. Haneda to introduce Xu Fu and his hometown to his guests.

"'My ancestral name is Qin.' Haneda pointed to a photo and said. Five or six years ago, he went to Ganyu County, Jiangsu Province, which is said to be the hometown of Xu Fu, a famous alchemist in the Qin Dynasty. Haneda specially enlarged a photo of him and the children there and put it on the table in his congressional office. "The reporter of Southern Metropolis Daily in Tokyo said in the report.

On June 4th, 2007, CCTV broadcasted an interview with former Japanese Prime Minister Tsutomu Hata, a program of senior host Shui Junyi, in the "High-end Interview" column of Oriental Time and Space.

In the interview between Shui Junyi and Mr. Haneda, pictures such as "Xufu Village Monument", "Xufu Temple" and "Qinshan Island" appeared from time to time on the screen, especially the photo of "Former Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Haneda in Ganyu" appeared repeatedly. As soon as Shui Junyi mentioned this photo, he immediately recalled Mr. Haneda's warm welcome when he first visited Xufu Village: "At that time, the situation was very bad, there were many people, and people were wearing colorful clothes. I took photos with many children, and the effect was very good. They are all smiling, and I hope to see them all grow up. "

When Mr. Haneda visited Ganyu County in Lianyungang in June 5438+this year 10, he also mentioned this photo on many occasions: "I put this photo with the children in Xufu Village in the office of the National Assembly. When you see the photos, you will think of the enthusiastic Ganyu people and think of Xu Fu's hometown in Lianyungang. "

What kind of photo is this? Why is it so popular with Mr. Haneda?

When Mr. Haneda first came to Xufu Village, Jinshan Town, Ganyu County, villagers beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers in Xufu Temple Square to warmly welcome guests from afar. Mr. Haneda was so excited that he approached the villagers and let go of his throat: "Hello everyone! Like you, I am a descendant of Xu Fu. I am so happy to see you! " Say, shake hands with everyone. Reporter Zhang Xiaohui left this precious moment with his camera.

At the end of 5438+ 10 this year, when I visited Mr. Haneda in Tokyo with Lianyungang Xufu Institute, I presented this enlarged picture to Mr. Haneda in the name of Lianyungang Xufu Institute.

I didn't expect this picture to be so loved by Mr. Haneda, and I didn't expect the media to pay so much attention.

When Shui Junyi visited Mr. Haneda, he took out a newspaper and pointed to a photo in the newspaper and asked Mr. Haneda: What is this? Mr. Haneda replied: "This is an inscription for them at the request of Chui Fu Suo."

The story goes like this: In order to contact Xu Fu researchers at home and abroad, strengthen the research and inheritance of Xu Fu's Du Dong, and use this as a link to promote international friendly exchanges, Lianyungang Federation of Philosophy and Social Sciences initiated the establishment of Lianyungang Xu Fu Institute. Mr. Haneda was invited to be the consultant of Chui Fu Yuan, and happily picked up a pen to congratulate him on the flourishing calligraphy works of Chui Fu Yuan. Ms Tadao Longzi, the enthusiastic president of the Xufu Research Association in Kanagawa, traveled back and forth between Kawasaki and Tokyo many times, and sent me the precious Mo Bao by express at the right time. Later, the photo of Mr. Haneda's inscription was published in the daily newspaper, which became the beginning of the host's visit to Mr. Haneda.

You can go to Lianyungang in October.

As early as the sixth Xufu Festival in Ganyu in 2006, the leading comrades of Ganyu County Committee entrusted me to contact relevant parties and invited Mr. Haneda to attend the Xufu Festival that year. However, due to Mr. Haneda's scheduled activities, he was too busy to attend Chui Fu Festival. He wrote a close-up and entrusted Ms. Tadao Longzi, who attended Xu Fu Festival, to read it out for him.

On June 365438+1October 3 1 day this year, the investigation team of Lianyungang Xufu Site visited Japan and South Korea. Entrusted by President Sun, they visited Mr. Haneda in Tokyo and invited him to attend the 7th International Symposium on Xu Fu Festival and Xu Fu Culture held in Ganyu from June 35 to1October 35 this year.

On the one hand, Mr. Haneda thanked us for our kind invitation, on the other hand, he was embarrassed to attend the Xufu Festival in Ganyu. He told us that this year's activities were scheduled at the end of last year, and he would visit Africa in June+10, 5438 to organize charity activities. Before August, parliamentary elections made it impossible to visit; Some activities were also arranged in September.

I have talked many times about the urgent desire of county and city leaders to invite Mr. Haneda to visit Xu Fu's hometown. Please ask Mr. Haneda to understand the responsibility of our party and support us to complete the invitation task.

Perhaps Mr. Haneda felt the true feelings of Xu Fu's hometown and thought for a moment and said, "Don't go to Xu Fu Festival, ok?"

I said, "No matter when you go, the leaders and people in Xu Fu's hometown will warmly welcome you!" After a pause, I went on to say, "If it is convenient to adjust the schedule, you'd better attend the Blessing Festival. Because Xu Fu Festival has many activities, many participants and many mainstream media invited, if you attend, it will have a major impact at home and abroad, which will help publicize and carry forward the spirit of Xu Fu and be conducive to friendly exchanges between China and Japan. "

Mr. Haneda asked Ms. Tadao Takako who accompanied him: How many people can Japan go to? Ms Tadao replied, "It is estimated that there are more than 10 people."

Mr. Haneda paused and said, "All right! 10 to Lianyungang. "

We are relieved and glad that Mr. Haneda is easy-going, generous and considerate, which supports us to complete an important task.

Mr. Ye's trip to Lianyungang Ganyu in June+10/early October this year made the Xufu Festival and Xufu Culture Seminar in Ganyu unprecedented, attracted full coverage from many mainstream media and websites at home and abroad, and achieved good social and economic benefits.

The First Issue of Xu Fu Studies at Home and Abroad

Mr. Haneda attended the 7th Xufu Festival in Ganyu, China on October 26th, 65438/KLOC-0, and arrived in Lianyungang from Qingdao Airport on the afternoon of 25th. They didn't go to the Yuntai Hotel where they stayed, regardless of the fatigue of a day's travel. They went directly to the municipal administrative center to meet with the party and government leaders of Lianyungang, such as Wang Jianhua, secretary of the municipal party committee.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Haneda and others came to Lianyungang Museum to attend the launching ceremony of Xu Fu Research at home and abroad. Xu dunxin, former Vice Foreign Minister of China and Ambassador of China to Japan; Yang Zhenya, former Ambassador of China to Japan; Liu Zhigang, President of Chui Fu Hui in China; Zhong Kun and Ling Yingbing, leaders of Lianyungang City, accompanied Mr. Haneda to the rostrum. Nearly 100 people attended the meeting, including distinguished researchers of Chui Fu Institute, Chinese and foreign Chui Fu researchers, and heads of relevant departments in Lianyungang.

Mr. Haneda, who is over 70 years old, participated in the publication of Xu Fu Studies at Home and Abroad with great interest and delivered a warm speech.

Xu Fu Research at Home and Abroad is a series of books edited by Xu Fu Institute of Huaihai Institute of Technology, Xu Fu Institute of Lianyungang City and Lianyungang Federation of Philosophy and Social Sciences. As a consultant of Chuifu Institute, it is very reasonable for Mr. Haneda to attend the launch of the book on the occasion of Chuifu Festival in Ganyu. It is human nature that Mr. Haneda personally signed the cover of A Study of Xu Fu at Home and Abroad and showed great love for this book. More importantly, Mr. Haneda's friendly attitude towards China as always and deep affection for Xu Fu's hometown, in his own words: "I am willing to do anything that touches China! I will try to participate in Xu Fu's activities! "

The research on Xu Fu at home and abroad has a small scale, high specifications and great influence. So far, many websites have reported the grand occasion of the launch, and six online bookstores in Beijing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Chongqing have published this book.

Baskets of flowers and stone carvings

In mid-September this year, Ms. Takako Tadao sent an email through Dr. Kwai Zhibao of Aichi University, informing Mr. Haneda that he would arrive in Lianlian on 10/0, attend the opening ceremony of Xufu Festival and the international symposium on Xufu culture on the morning of 26th, and leave for Shanghai in the afternoon. In fact, Mr. Haneda's effective time in Ganyu is only half a day.

On the morning of 26th, Mr Haneda and his party attended the Xufu Festival held in Xufu Temple, and accompanied by relevant state departments and leading comrades of Lianyungang City and Ganyu County, they went to Xufuxiang Square to present a flower basket to Xufuxiang. In front of the flower basket, Mr. Haneda arranged the ribbon dancing with the wind with his hands generously and elegantly. Probably because he made up for attending the unveiling ceremony of the future statue of Xu last year, Mr. Haneda showed a full face of pleasure.

Anyone who knows the inside story knows that Mr. Haneda brought a beautiful vase from Japan instead of a special flower basket.

The main purpose of arranging Haneda's flower basket and the unveiling of Haneda's stone carving is to make Mr. Haneda leave a lasting impression in Xu Fu's hometown. In advance, I suggested to Mr. Haneda through my Japanese friends: If it is convenient, it is best to bring small and exquisite flower baskets from Japan and keep them in the Chuifu Memorial Hall forever.

Soon, Ms. Tadao sent a fax: "The flower basket was brought from Japan. Please prepare flowers for the rain. " To this end, she arrived in Ganyu one day in advance. But when she took out the "flower basket" in Ganyu Hotel and opened the layers of packaging, she was presented with a beautiful carved ceramic vase. Ms Tadao told me that this vase was specially made by Mr Tsutomu Hata in a famous Japanese factory, and the quality was very good. Seeing this vase as white as jade, beautifully shaped and well-made, I can't help but thank Mr. Haneda, a famous Japanese politician, for his good intentions.

Comrades of the Xu Fujie Organizing Committee think that a vase with a height of several tens of centimeters is too short in front of the statue of Xu Fu, which is over 10 meters high. It is suggested that Mr. Haneda present a specially treated flower basket to Ganyu County, and the vase will be sent to the memorial hall for display as a gift when the county leaders meet. After I conveyed this opinion to Ms. Tadao, she accepted the proposal happily.

In the future, Xu Fu Memorial Hall will collect vases but not flower baskets, or both vases and flower baskets will be collected, which is the reason.

In front of the Cuifu Ecological Park on the left, there is an uncut standing stone more than one or two meters high. It was carved on a stone by Mr. Haneda. After the flower basket dedication ceremony, Sun, secretary of Ganyu County Party Committee, presided over the stone carving unveiling ceremony.

When Mr. Haneda and Ms. Su Yu 'e, the chairman of CPPCC in Lianyungang, slowly took down the red silk covered with stone carvings, thunderous applause rang out in the square. People rushed to watch and take pictures as a souvenir.

The front of the stone carving:

"July 2007 1 Representative Xu Fuzhong, the father of Japan-China friendship, Haneda Dun";

The bad side is:

"Mr. Haneda, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Member of the House of Representatives, Prime Minister and Minister of the 80th Cabinet. I wrote this as a gift when I visited Xufu Temple on June 25th, 2002, and I will write it again on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan. The stones of terraced fields are always ambitious.

Longkou xu fuzhen (formerly known as Xu Xiang County) is the hometown of Xu Fu, the alchemist of Qin Dynasty. The existing ruins of Xu Fu include Huangheying ancient port site, wooden cave and Xu Mu's tomb. Today, in xu fuzhen, there is a Xugong Temple, which bears the dry mountain worshipped by Xuan Di, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and faces Laishan, where the Moon Temple is located. The Moon Temple is one of the main temples in the State of Qi, covering an area of 6,600 square meters. The whole building consists of four parts: the ancestral hall, the east-west annex hall and the main hall, striving to reflect the architectural characteristics and style of the Qin Dynasty. There is a vivid portrait of Xu Fu in the hall. With bamboo slips in his hand, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled and his eyes alert, he seems to have a literary mind. A boy on the left holds a sword, and a girl on the right holds a medicine gourd, and follows him, guarding him to find the fairy mountain in the sea and collect the elixir of life. When people visit Xugong Temple, it seems that they have returned to the Qin Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago and experienced the social customs at that time.
