Why is Japan also called the Yamato nation?

Because the main nation in Japan is the Yamato nation. The word "harmony" originated from the Yamato region where the Japanese regime was located in the 3rd century A.D., and it is the main ethnic group in Japan, mainly distributed throughout the Japanese archipelago. Sometimes it is synonymous with "Japan". For example, "Harmony" means "Japanese spirit".

Hezu is mainly composed of the residents of the Sea of Japan and the residents of East Asia who originally lived in Northeast Asia. Its ethnic group was completely formed in the ancient tomb culture, and its own culture has been influenced by the East Asian continent for a long time, but it has its own system because of its special geographical location and climate.
