Chapter 279 Where is Fusang? In fact, the answer to Ye Zhen's question was made clear from the beginning. Because Ye Zhen said at the beginning that he discovered the New World of America. It's not Columbus at all, but some unknown monk Huishen. Then I shared the popular science about Fuso with everyone. Let everyone know that this fusang does not refer to Japan. It's just that Japan was shameless and stole it by himself. If you put it this way, this Fuso Country is actually in the American continent far away from the ocean?
But is it possible? Obviously everyone has already thought of this answer, but they don't think this statement is correct. Some viewers also reacted.
"So Fuso Country is on the American continent!" "It's unbelievable. If the Fuso Kingdom is really on the American continent and this monk Huishen has been there, then he is indeed more than a thousand years older than Columbus!" "My dear, this is going to rewrite history!" "I'd better remain skeptical." Obviously, it is still very difficult to change people's ideas all at once. Even Ye Zhen has just explained it to everyone. This Fusang is not Japanese at all, but there are still some people who firmly believe that Japan is Fusang. Anyone who has watched Ye Zhen’s previous programs knows this. Ye Zhen seems to have a magical power that can turn decay into magic. Discover the essence of things from some clues. The same is true now. Ye Zhenyi initially said that it was Monk Huishen who discovered the New World of America. This was unanimously rejected by everyone. Thinking that Ye Zhen is just a clown who is fooling around and sensationalizing. But after seeing the relationship between Fusang and the Japanese country, everyone found that this was not impossible. Some historians say. "If you want to prove that Monk Huishen discovered America before Columbus, it is actually very simple." "As long as it is proved that the Fuso that Monk Huishen visited is in the American continent." "Yes, in theory." "But did the ancients really have such navigation technology?"
These historians are not alone in their doubts. So do some of the other scientists and archaeologists. "This is impossible. We went to the American continent that year." "No, how could this Fuso country be in America?" "There was no such thing as a map back then. I don't believe it." "Although Fuso Country is not Japan, it definitely cannot be in the American continent." Professor Yan Xin began to understand why there was an image of the Fuso Sacred Tree in the trailer. "Could it be that this Fuso Country is really on the American continent?" Old Wu glanced at Professor Zhou, "Old Zhou, do you think this Fuso is really in the American continent?" Professor Zhou shook his head, "I don't know, but if it's Mr. Ye." "I believe he has his own judgment." Back in front of the TV, Ye Zhen had already started writing on the small whiteboard. Ye Zhen said softly: "Let's take a look at what Monk Huishen described about Fusang Kingdom back then. The first is the location of Fuso Kingdom. It is recorded in "Liang Shu". In the Fusang Kingdom, in the first year of Qi Yongyuan (499), Huishen, a state-owned ascetic, came to Jingzhou. Shaman here is a Buddhist term used to refer to Buddhist monks. The translation of this sentence is that there was a monk named Huishen who came to Jingzhou from Fusang Kingdom. And I wrote about the location of Fuso later. The Kingdom of Japan is more than [-] miles northeast of the Kingdom of Japan, the Kingdom of Han is [-] miles east of the Kingdom of Tattoo, and the Kingdom of Fusang is [-] miles east of the Kingdom of Han. We all know here that this Japanese country was Japan back then. So Fuso here is not Japanese at all, everyone should understand. Before the Tang Dynasty, Fusang and Japan were two different places. Here we can clearly know the location of Fusang Kingdom. " Now everyone is more certain that this Fuso Kingdom is not Japan anymore. "Are there still people who insist that Fuso is Japanese?" "It's said that Fuso is from Japan. I don't know what to think." "I know I made a mistake and I will never make a mistake again."
Obviously, the proof in the history books lets everyone know that this Fusang Kingdom is not Japan at all. In fact, in the historical circles, it has long been known that the Fuso Kingdom is not Japan. But I don’t know the reason, and no one clarified it. Instead, they seemed to be making mistakes. This seems very strange. After reading the directions described in "Liang Shu". Some experts who study history and geography have simulated it in their minds. "The Fusang Kingdom recorded in "Book of Liang" may really be in this part of the American continent." "It can't be in Japan anyway. It doesn't make sense at all." "That's right. Others have said it is more than [-] miles northeast of Japan." Obviously this sentence can prove that the Japanese country was not Japan at that time. But now the question arises, how can we prove that the Fuso Kingdom is on the American continent?
This is obviously a problem. Ye Zhen continued to smile and said, "If I didn't tell you, no one would read ancient books like the Twenty-Four Histories." Obviously, we can no longer say that we are proficient in the Twenty-Four Histories. Even those who are familiar with it are gone. It’s already good to read one or two books. However, no one can be as perverted as Ye Zhen, with the ability to have photographic memory. For Ye Zhen, these twenty-four histories were only a matter of a few minutes. It can be completely remembered in my mind. In fact, where is this Fusang Kingdom in history? There has always been debate, and has been for hundreds of years. There are complex mistakes and intertwined interests here. There are two schools of thought that are very popular and mainstream. Fuso Kingdom, where is this place with the Fuso Sacred Tree? Is it a place in myths and legends, or does such a place really exist. This is what fascinates people about our culture. Just like the West has always wanted to find, prove where the Garden of Eden is. The location of Fuso Kingdom has also been searched by Chinese historians and some geographers. The first school is that Fusang is in our country. Because this happened in the myths and legends of our country.
They take it for granted that Fusang Country is within our country. It's like a place like Feathered Country. They think it's within our country, if it's within the country. Where is this fusang?
In the east of our country, where is this east?
This faction had the support of many scholars back then. They think Fusang is located in Qufu, my country. Others said it was in Rizhao. They think this is where the sun comes out, and the name Rizhao is pretty self-explanatory. And this place is indeed in the east of our country. Why did this school of thought become popular? Because at that time, the saying that Fusang was the place in Japan was very popular. It is Fuso that was Japan back then. Why do we now subconsciously think that Fuso is Japanese? Because some scholars and researchers at that time thought so. They believed that Fuso was Japan. After the Tang Dynasty, there were many literati. They all use the name Fuso to refer to Japan. So they also have a lot of evidence that Japan is Fuso. Coupled with the Japanese name, it is indeed very clever. The Land of the Rising Sun, this is more consistent with Fuso. It has become something that has happened since ancient times. Obviously this is putting the cart before the horse. Coupled with the Japanese rising sun flag, Japan worships the sun. Many scholars at that time believed that Japan was Fusang, and this became a mainstream theory. As a result, this error has been circulating. So the other group says that Fuso is actually in our country. In fact, there is not much evidence, and I feel a deep sense of powerlessness. At that time, the theory that Fuso Country was Japan gradually gained the upper hand. It is still the same until now. Later, there was another faction. What did this faction say? It is said that the first two statements are wrong.
This fusang is neither in our country nor in Japan. But a fictional place. I think this is just a fictional place recorded in myths and legends. Just like Kunlun, there are places like Guixu. They are just fictional place names from myths and legends. There are also many people who support this faction. They believe that the Fuso Kingdom is neither at home nor overseas in Japan. Until Ye Zhen came up with his current statement. Ye Zhen believes that Fusang Country not only exists, but is also here on the American continent. This is indeed a very unacceptable fact. Because if what Ye Zhen said is true. Not only did it solve the mystery of where Fuso Country is. It also explains that the first person to discover the American continent was not Columbus. But it is a monk named Huishen from China. This not only shocked our country, but also the history of foreign countries will be rewritten. Our teaching materials also need to be adapted. It is a new understanding of the navigation technology of ancient Chinese people. But all this requires Ye Zhen to truly prove it. But now everyone thinks that it is impossible for Ye Zhen to do this. I only saw Ye Zhen saying: "Look at the directions recorded in Liang Shu. It is easy for us to confirm that Fuso Country is overseas. And it's on the American continent. This is the first evidence. The second is what monk Huishen saw and heard in Fusang Kingdom. The leaves of hibiscus are like tung trees, and when they are young, they are like bamboo shoots. When Chinese people eat them, they are actually as red as pears, and their skins are used as cloth for clothing and as cotton. This is the Fuso tree that Monk Huishen saw in the Fuso Kingdom. Why do we say that Japan is not the country of Fusang? Because to a large extent. Japan is a small island country with not enough plants and forests. The Fusang Kingdom, of course, must have hibiscus trees before it can be called the Fusang Kingdom.
Otherwise, how could we call ourselves Fusang Country?
This is translated. The leaves of the hibiscus tree are like the leaves of the tung tree. When they are just born, they are like bamboo shoots. People in their country only eat them like red pears. The bark of the hibiscus tree can be woven into cloth and turned into clothes. It can become something like cotton wool. All this means is the agave of the American continent. This is how the agave was used by people on the American continent. " Was the hibiscus tree that monk Huishen saw back then agave?
