Chapter 278 Stolen Name Obviously everyone has heard of the name Japan to some extent. Japanese pirates, Japanese pirates, this is them. I only heard Ye Zhen continue to say: "But they were not convinced back then in Japan. I think the name of Japan is not nice. But their leader at that time was called King Wa. Apparently they don't like the title. What happened then?
"Japanese" is pronounced "yamato" like "Yamato" in Japanese. This is the origin of Yamatai. They use "Yamato" as an alias.
During the reign of Emperor Yuanming, it was stipulated that the word "和" should be replaced with the word "Japanese". And it was called "Yamato" by adding "大" at the beginning. Claims to be a Yamato nation. Finally, they decided that this was not enough, so they called their country the Land of the Rising Sun. At that time, I wanted to call myself the country of the rising sun, but then someone changed it to the country of Japan. It means the original place of the sun. This little Japanese is simply too good at putting gold on his face. However, when they communicated with our country and came to pay tribute, they were still called the Japanese country by our country. This made them very angry, but there was nothing they could do. So they asked our country if they could change their country’s name to Japan? However, after a long period of hard work, it has not been recognized by our country. So this Japanese country has always been enjoying itself. So how did Japan successfully change its name?
This is about Wu Zetian, during the Tang Dynasty. She became the first female emperor in the history of our country. He called himself Da Zhou and created a word to represent himself, Wu Fu. It was Wu Zetian who agreed to the request of the Japanese country at that time and changed her name to Japanese. The mistake started here, and some later scholars thought that this was really the Land of the Rising Sun. Then he put the name Fuso on Japan's head. Of course Japan was overjoyed and just stole Fuso's nice name.
In fact, Japan has never been the land of the rising sun, nor has it been a land of fusang. " From the beginning of the Japanese country, I changed it to Japan, thinking that I was the country of the rising sun. Then he stole Fuso's name as a matter of course. Starting from the Tang Dynasty, some people connected Japan with Fusang for some unknown reason. Because Fuso is where the Sun God tree Fuso tree is located. The Fusang Sacred Tree is the place where the three-legged Golden Crow inhabits in Chinese myths and legends. The ancients took it for granted when they looked at this book. Oh, the land of the rising sun, where the sun rises, isn’t this Fusang?
So I connected Japan with Fuso. As a result, later people got used to it and regarded Japan as Fusang. In fact, this is an extremely wrong statement. Fuso is not Japanese at all. "If we go back further, this date was actually during the reign of Qin Shihuang. What is considered? It is Yingzhou, one of the fairy mountains overseas, which is why Japan also has a name called Dongying. Because when Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu overseas to search for the elixir of immortality. After discovering this place called Japan, I thought it was Yingzhou, that is, Japan. The name Fuso actually has nothing to do with Japan. " After Ye Zhen explained this, all the audience knew it at this time. They have been fed wrong knowledge. "It turns out that small Japan is called the Kingdom of Japan. This name is quite suitable." "This Fusang's name turned out to be stolen. I was so funny." "It's better to call it Wa Guo." Obviously, if Ye Zhen hadn't said it, everyone would have been passing on this wrong idea. Now this is broadcast on the CCTV channel. Now almost all Chinese people know it. Some historians said: "I have known for a long time that this Fuso Kingdom is not Japan anymore." "Since ancient times, Japan has never been a fusang." "This is the ancient people's mistake in connecting Fusang with Japan." "Things that started during the period of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty have continued to affect us until now."
"I remember that the Creed of Japan was recorded in the "Japanese State Articles" in Sui Shu·Dongyi Biography." "The emperor writes a letter from the emperor when the sun rises to the sun, saying that the emperor is fine and well." "At that time, they called our emperor the Emperor of Sunset and themselves the Emperor of Sunrise." "One sunset, one sunrise, trying to bring myself and the emperor of our country to an equal position." Obviously this is a small thought of the tributary country. At that time, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty paid no attention to the Japanese country. Want to be on an equal footing with yourself? How can this be? I just said that this small barbarian country should not be ignored. From this time on, the Japanese country wanted to change its name. I want to change the name to Japan just for the sake of the name of the Land of the Rising Sun. In this way, he can have the same status as the Chinese emperor!
It is obviously impossible to be equal to China. If the name is changed to Japanese. They simply won the game. This may have been the Japanese king's little thinking and spiritual victory method back then. Some other archaeologists also had something to say at this time. "The gold seal dug out by Japan just proves that they have been our tributary country since ancient times." "That's right, even changing the name requires our approval." "During the Wei Dynasty, they were also given a gold seal, which was also dug out." Obviously, our country has very detailed records of the Japanese state. Before the Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as saying that Japan was originally Fusang. It's only since Japan changed its name that it slowly started to change like this. Some were just showing off their knowledge to others. I thought Fuso was from Japan, but now I'm being slapped in the face. Didn't they expect that they could be slapped in the face? "Hahaha, who just said that Fuso is Japanese? Stand up." "So I was wrong all along. I have learned a lesson." "I just said that you can learn a lot from watching Mr. Ye's show!" Some researchers also lamented. "Now we have all been affected, and we all subconsciously think that Fuso Country is Japan." "The Japanese themselves also shoot some cultural things in this way. It's really subtle." "Japanese country, Japanese country, I will no longer call it Japan from now on, I will call it Japanese country."
"And that Tamamo-mae, isn't it the nine-tailed fox?" Obviously everyone realizes how much we are influenced by others. Professor Yan Xin never expected, "So Huishen didn't come to Japan?" Other researchers who were drinking also said: "This little Japanese is really shameless." "There are also some ancient people. How come they are so naturally connected?" In the midst of a victory-hating party. It was only at this time that Lao Wu realized, "It turns out that Fusang Kingdom does not refer to Japan. Even I always thought that Fusang Kingdom refers to Japan." "It's all the fault of some ancient people. One misquote, and everyone in the future has been like this." Professor Zhou knows this aspect best, after all, he studies ancient books. At this time, Professor Zhou said: "I am going to tell a story here." "There was a monster in the West back then, which is transliterated into Phoenix." "Actually, the real translation should be Phoenix." "But when the monster Phoenix was translated, it was Guo Moruo, a sinner through the ages." This also involves the two sides of history. Just like what Ye Zhen said before about cutting through walls and stealing light. In our textbooks, Guo Moruo is a very famous writer. In fact, Guo Moruo has been reviled in our country. Ye Zhen mentioned it in the show before, digging ancient tombs indiscriminately and destroying many precious cultural relics. He proposed to excavate the previous imperial tombs, and it was unknown how many precious imperial tombs were destroyed. It was also because of him that our country came up with regulations that prohibited the excavation of imperial tombs at will. Back then, Guo Moruo almost dug up the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. I don’t know how many precious cultural relics will be destroyed in this way. Therefore, our country later decided that if there was no matching excavation and protection technology. I will definitely not touch those ancient tombs. Guo Moruo's destruction of tombs and cultural relics was enough to earn him a thousand years of infamy. Secondly, there are some academic inaccuracies and errors. He was the one who translated Phoenix back then, translating the Western monster Phoenix into Phoenix. In fact, these are two different creatures.
But there is no way, plus it is in various novels and movies now. They all invariably linked the phoenix and the phoenix together. In fact, Phoenix did not have the authority to achieve nirvana and rebirth at the beginning. This originally belonged to Phoenix, the Phoenix. But now they are all mixed together and inseparable. This is all to blame for Guo Moruo's random translation. For the sake of convenience, he named the phoenix in the West as the phoenix. Phoenix Nirvana is a description we have seen in many novels. It is actually wrong to think that the Phoenix will rise from the ashes in five hundred years. Our country's Phoenix has never had such capabilities. In fact, this description is of the Western phoenix, but it is more like a sun bird than a phoenix. But now they are all mixed together, and the Phoenix has the ability to be reborn from the ashes. Now I can't tell the difference between the Suzaku, the Phoenix, and the Phoenix. This is the bane of translators and some literati. Another similarity is Doragon, which is also a monster in the West. It refers to the large lizard, the western dragon with wings. In fact, it is completely different from the traditional dragon in our country. But inexplicably, translating Doragon into a dragon is simply too outrageous. Back to Ye Zhen, now Ye Zhen lets everyone know that this Fuso Kingdom is not Japan at all. Therefore, Monk Huishen did not go to Japan at all. "So where is the Fusang Kingdom that Monk Huishen went to?" Ye Zhen smiled and looked at the camera, apparently asking the audience another question. At first everyone thought this Fuso Kingdom was Japan. Therefore, it does not seem to be a big deal that Monk Huishen went to Japan. Because Xu Fu had already done this back then. But now it seems that this matter is not that simple. Some viewers have not forgotten what Ye Zhen said at the beginning. It was not Columbus who discovered the New World of America, but this wise monk. "If this Fuso Country is not from Japan, where could it be?" "Are you fools? Didn't Teacher Ye Zhen say that at the beginning of the show?"
"But this is impossible! I don't believe this can happen!" "If Fuso wasn't in Japan, would it be in our country?" Fusang country, why is it called Fusang country? It is of course the country where the hibiscus tree is located. In fact, Ye Zhen has already said the answer. But no one can believe this fact. Some historians looked at Ye Zhen like a monster. "Could it be that what he said is true? It is really possible that Columbus was not the one who discovered the New World." "I understand, I understand everything!" Professor Yan Xin is silent now. He has already made a fool of himself in front of some other researchers just now. "This is the Fusang Kingdom, where the Fusang Sacred Tree is located." Song Xuan in Bureau 749 exclaimed: "This Fusang is actually the name of a Japanese thief!" "This little Japan is so abominable." Song Xuan clenched her little fists and waved them in the air. The corner of Lao Chen's mouth raised and he said, "Have the two countries Japan and Bangzi stolen enough of our culture?" Ning Xiu said: "So this Fusang country is on the American continent?"
