Japan's three great artifacts: Xu Fu cheated Qin Shihuang's treasure.

According to Japanese historical records, the "three great artifacts" are all Japanese native items. But historians have another saying. According to authoritative historians, the "three artifacts" regarded as treasures by the Japanese royal family are actually the treasures of China's Qin Emperor Qin Shihuang. Let's take a look at the records of the three great artifacts.

Cao Jian: According to Ancient Stories, Su Zhanwu Zun met a full name and a hand name in Izumo. They have eight children, seven of whom were dedicated to Yasuda. They told Su Zhanwu that Octopus was about to eat their last daughter, and Su Zhanwu promised to get rid of Octopus for the old couple on condition that she was betrothed to him. He dressed up as the Seven Heavenly Sacrifices, took eight barrels of wine and put them in different places. Eight male snakes were tempted by the smell of wine and put eight heads in different barrels to drink. Su Zhanwu cut off the heads of the eight-foot snake one by one with ten fists, and then cut off the tail. When he cut off the fourth tail, he found a sword on the snake. He named it "Tiancong Yun Jian" and presented it to the gods. Later, when the 12th Japanese emperor, Emperor Jingxing, was in power, Tiancong, a native of Takamoto, Yun Jian, came to Suruga and was tricked into hunting deer on the grassland. The local warlord burned the grassland with rockets and killed horses to prevent him from escaping. The Japanese architect ordered Tiancong Yun Jian to mow the grass to clear the way. During this period, he found that Tiancong Yun Jian could control the wind direction, so he survived. Therefore, he named Tiancong of Yun Jian as "Grass Sword".

Eight mirrors: eight mirrors (the mirror of true meridian and body fluid). It is said that Su Sannuo, the brother of Zhao Tian Great God, made a scene in Gaotianyuan and got into trouble. Zhao Tian was so scared that he couldn't get out of the cave. Someone came up with an idea to make eight mirrors from Tian Jianshi on the Tianan River and iron from Tianjin Mountain and hang them on the JH tree. Eight million gods are singing and dancing together outside, which makes Gao Tianyuan restless. The sky is strange. He asked, "I live here in seclusion, and it is dark. Why is Tianyu still singing and dancing, and eight million gods are laughing? " Tianyu was ordered to answer: "There is a nobler god than you, so we are singing and dancing happily." While speaking, Tian Erfu and Tian Buyu ordered to hold up the Eight Diagrams mirror hanging on the branches and let the Great God look in the mirror. "Who is this man?" said the heavenly light to the Great Imperial God. Is he nobler than me? " Zhao Tian is too busy looking in the mirror to go out. Just then, the man of god hiding by the door grabbed her hand and pulled her out. Tian Buyu Daoming quickly hung the note rope behind him and said, "Don't go back inside!" " "When the Great God Emperor came out, Gao Tianyuan immediately lit up. Later, Zhao Tian gave this mirror to Sun as an artifact.

The Quyu of Yasaka Qiong: It is enshrined in the Japanese Imperial Palace, and outsiders are not allowed to visit it. Eight feet has two explanations, one is "big", and the other is that the string of Quyu is longer. Hachiqiong Quyu is a primitive sacrificial vessel and ornament in Japan, which looks like the English letter C and has a small hole dug on it, which is convenient to string together with a rope. At first, it was not made of jade. At that time, the teeth of animals and wild boars were used as materials. Later, gold, stone and jade were used, among which agate, crystal and other jadeite were the best. Quyu, which is made of one or two precious materials as the main body, is made of round and tubular Quyu in series, and can be used as decoration for necklaces, clothes, collars, etc.

Historians believe that Xu Fu cheated Qin Shihuang to find the legendary "elixir of life" and defrauded Qin Shihuang of a lot of treasures. Among them, there are grass swords, eight mirrors and eight Sakamoto Qiong Quyu. What are these three things called in Qin Dynasty? There is no way to test them.
