Did the Japanese originally come from China?

To be sure, the Japanese are from Chinese mainland, but it is hard to say whether they are Mongolians from the northeast or Yunnan-Guizhou people from the south. The ancestors of modern Japanese are probably from Suqian, Xuzhou, Huaiyin and Lianyungang in Jiangsu, which is called "Su Beiren". The most popular view in the 1980s was that the ancestors of the Japanese were from Yunnan. This view was first put forward by Japanese scholars. During the period of 1979, Kenzaburo Niaishi, honorary professor of anthropology in osaka kyoiku university, Japan, made public his research results-the birthplace of Japanese was in Yunnan Province, China. As soon as this statement came out, people in Japan excitedly found the "root" and immediately triggered a "Yunnan tourism fever." Later, the Japanese Television Workers' Union also went to Yunnan for this purpose and filmed the documentary "The Origin of the Japanese". As we all know, Yunnan is the habitat of ancient Yunnan tribes, and the famous "Yuanmou Man" was discovered near Shangnabang Village in Yuanmou, Yunnan on 1965. Yuanmou man, about 6.5438 0.7 million years ago, belongs to China ancient human in the early Paleolithic period. Chinese anthropologists believe that "Yuanmou Man" crossed the Jinsha River in the north, and then spread to Gansu and Qinghai, becoming an ancient Qiang Rong. There is another view of foreign scholars: Yuanmou people are from Yunnan, and they are not only the ancestors of Japanese, but also the ancestors of Indians. At that time, Yuanmou probably left the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to reach the coast for survival, and finally arrived at the Japanese archipelago from southern China and Nanyang along a Kuroshio (warm current) in the Pacific Ocean. After a rest, he crossed the Bering Strait and entered the American continent, becoming the ancestor of the Indians. I think, perhaps at this time, some Yuanmou people stayed behind, unable to accompany the big army, and stayed in the Japanese archipelago, becoming the ancestors of today's Japanese. It should be noted that there are many ethnic minorities in Yunnan, including Yi, Hani, Dai, Wa and so on, but which branch is the ancestor of the Japanese? It is still a mystery and there are many differences. Why do Japanese scholars think that Yunnan people are the ancestors of the Japanese? One of the reasons is that Yunnan people, represented by Yi people, have special birthmarks. All the newborn babies here have birthmarks on their buttocks, and so do the Japanese. Therefore, a Japanese scholar represented by Shinichi Kenzaburo said, "The birthmark in Japanese constitution originated in Yunnan, which is circumstantial evidence that this area is the birthplace of Japanese." I visited Miao Village, an ancient village in southeastern Guizhou, and I was deeply impressed. I also took a lot of photos. The residents here are all Miao people, and their favorite food, the custom of making rice cakes, the habit of bullfighting and wearing sandals, and the way of farming are similar to those of the Japanese. For example, the Japanese like to eat "natto", and the Miao people in Guizhou also like it, but the name is different, called potato; The architectural style of the old Miao house is also much worse than that of Japanese houses in the past. Therefore, the Japanese were very excited after seeing Miao Village-"Miao people in Guizhou are the ancestors of our Japanese". "Guizhou people say" and "Yunnan people say" are the same, and many Japanese believe it in Japan. However, quite a few Japanese people think they are descendants of Mongols, which is the so-called "Mongolian theory". Some Japanese scholars call themselves "riders" when communicating with China scholars. They also joked that the reason why the Japanese are strong and tenacious is because of the blood of the northern nomadic people-Mongols. However, as we all know, Mongolians are not used to water. /kloc-When the Mongols invaded Japan in the 3rd century, they took a boat to the edge of the Japanese island, but they could not land. How did the early Mongols cross the ocean to come to Japan? According to Japanese scholars, Mongolians arrived in Japan from the northeast of China, via the Korean Peninsula, and then through Ma Haixia. Because many Japanese believe that "my ancestors were Mongols", the Japanese are very interested in Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia. Since the late Qing Dynasty, groups of Japanese archaeologists have come to these areas to carry out archaeology. During the war of aggression against China in the last century, Japanese scholars made large-scale archaeological discoveries in Japanese-occupied areas, especially interested in studying ancient bones. After Mongolia's independence, the Japanese also gave them a lot of economic assistance and conducted many large-scale joint archaeology. Of course, their motivation to help Mongolia is not just to "recognize the Sect." About the same time as the "Yunnan people's theory" appeared, some scholars put forward an amazing view that the ancestors of the Japanese were from Guizhou. I visited Miao Village, an ancient village in southeastern Guizhou, and I was deeply impressed. I also took a lot of photos. The residents here are all Miao people, and their favorite food, the custom of making rice cakes, the habit of bullfighting and wearing sandals, and the way of farming are similar to those of the Japanese.
