What is the interesting story of the origin of the Japanese people?

When exactly the Yamato nation was formed, and where its ancestors came from, has long been untraceable in slim epics and varied legends. What is certain now is that a continuous and growing migration of immigrants to Japan began sometime before the Common Era. The immigrants were largely yellow-skinned Mongoloids, mainly Tungusks from Siberia and northeastern China, Malays from the South Sea Islands, Indo-Chinese from the central and southern peninsulas, Wu-Yuehs from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and a mixture of Han Chinese and Koreans. They traveled down the Korean Peninsula, crossed the strait, and landed on this volcanic island at the end of East Asia, where dawn is always the first light.

In 1979, Kenzaburo Torikoshi, professor emeritus of anthropology at Osaka University of Education, Japan, first published a new statement that "the origin of the Japanese people is in China's Yunnan Province," and on February 23, 1984, Professor Torikoshi conducted a study of the ethnic minorities of the Thai mountainous region (northern Thailand), who are thought to have come down from Yunnan. On February 23, 1984, Prof. Ken Torikoshi reported on "a field study of ethnic minorities in the mountainous region of Thailand (northern Thailand) thought to have moved south from Yunnan, which revealed that all infants have birthmarks on their buttocks", emphasizing that "the origin of birthmarks on the physique of Japanese people is Yunnan, which is a circumstantial evidence confirming that this region is the birthplace of the Japanese people." In September 1988, the League of Japanese Television Workers arrived in Yunnan with the mission of filming The Origin of the Japanese. Since then, Japanese scholars have deduced that "the Japanese originated in Yunnan" and further interpreted it as "the ancestors of the Japanese are the ethnic minorities in Yunnan", and the scope and core of which are basically circled as the Yi, Hani, and Dai ethnic groups, and so on. The reason for holding the "Yi theory" is that experts such as Kenzaburo Torikoshi, Takamine Sasaki and Tadashi Watanabe, after visiting Yunnan, found that the "Torch Festival" of the Sani people (Yi subfamily) in Shilin and other places was similar to the "Monlambe Festival" in Japan. "That is, in the Kii Peninsula of Japan, the "Torch Festival" is also held on the same day, and in the Kii Peninsula of southern Japan, Kobe, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Wakayama and other places, it is the place where the traditional Chinese culture is most concentrated in Japan... ...The reason for the "Hani theory" is that some Japanese were surprised to find that the Hani people in Yunnan Province, China, and the Yamato people in Japan share similar beliefs in the concept of "all things have spirits", and that, among the gods in particular, the Japanese are the most powerful in the world. In particular, among the gods, the most authoritative of the Japanese "Amaterasu Omikami" and the Hani "Api Meiyan" are both female, and also the same as the sun god; Japan worships the "God of the Valley" and worships the cherry blossom as the national flower, and the Hani also worship the "God of the Valley" and the cherry blossom as the national flower, and the Hani also worship the "God of the Valley". The Hani tribe also worships the "God of the Valley" and regards the cherry tree and cherry blossom as sacred flowers. ...... The view of "Dai saying" is still attributed to scholars such as Torikoshi Ken, Sasaki and Watanabe. They conducted a field study of the ethnic minorities in the mountainous regions of Thailand, which were thought to have moved southward from Yunnan, and found that there were birthmarks on the buttocks of all infants, and that birthmarks were also found among the Dai of Xishuangbanna. The so-called "birthmarks" refer to the greenish-colored patches that appear on the buttocks, waist, back and shoulders of infants. The reason for this is that there are melanocytes in the dermis of the skin, which gradually disappear with age. The Japanese have precisely this ethnographic birthmark similarity, and there are many people in Kyushu and Honshu in western Japan who have blood type A, which is also the same as in Yunnan and mainland Thailand.

Beginning in 1996, some Chinese and Japanese scholars formed the "Jiangnan human bones of China and Japan **** the same investigation mission", China's Jiangsu Province, China unearthed the Spring and Autumn period to the Western Han Dynasty (i.e., the sixth century BCE to the first century CE) of the human bones, and about the same time unearthed in Japan's northern Kyushu and Yamaguchi Prefecture, the rope to the Yayoi era of human bones, a three-year study. A three-year comparative study was conducted on the human bones excavated in the same period. After analyzing the DNA and tests, it was found that some parts of the arrangement of the two bones were the same, which proved that the two bones originated from the same ancestor. This means that the ancestors of Japanese people are more certain to be Chinese people who lived far beyond the southern border. China and Japan, not only the same species, but also the same clan. According to folklore, after the unification of China, Qin Shi Huang, in order to seek the elixir of immortality, had sent Xu Fu led 3,000 boys and girls, by a huge fleet of 50 ships, east to Japan to look for the elixir of immortality. The result was not found, Xu Fu wanted to return home, some men reminded him, you did not complete the Emperor's errand, go back only to die, why not simply stay, Xu Fu and his party stayed. At this time, Japan was still in the Stone Age, most Japanese people had long hair, tied in a knot at the top of the head, and tied a white cloth on the forehead. To this day, the Japanese are fond of tying strips of white cloth around their foreheads during festivals. Most of them are tattooed fishermen who believe that tattoos are a good way to tempt fish when they go down to the sea to catch them. The women wear nothing more than a piece of cloth with a hole dug in the neck, like a Mexican poncho. The people are peaceful and not jealous. Polygamy is practiced, and generally a man can have four or five wives. The Japanese like to drink, like the Malays and Indians grasp food with their hands. At that time, they did not have meat to eat and usually ate fish, vegetables and rice. It is said that at that time, Xu Fu then discovered that the Japanese were long-lived and could live to be 80 to 90 years old, and some even lived to be 100 years old. He also discovered that they were particularly good at sorcery, prophecy, astrology and divination with clay, in addition to growing rice and fishing.
