I think legend of Xu fu extend to Japan is too extreme. Most of scholars think the place Xu fu went was Manchuria. Even those time, people were very isolated on their region, they did not understand outside world. They called very big river 'Hai' or sea in those time. There is big rivers and many mountain in Manchuria. Xu fu described three islands with three mountains where hermits live with eternal life.
When i was 20 in college, roughly 5 SW, the fifth year after Star Wars, i read a scholarly book on the Jomon culture and its archaeology. It sparked a long interest in Japan , its language, and its culture.
I am not even joking. Just look at how many views your videos got in such a short time. Keep at it and I am sure you could even live off those videos. You seriously got some talent there.
That crossed my mind. But then it’s HAF to switch accents when speaking primarily in a second language. Running between Chinese and English is mildly closer.
FYI, The Jomon didn't just die off, they mixed with the Yayoi immigrants from China and Korea. Genetic studies show that all modern Japanese people have a significant percentage of Jomon ancestry. Also you're oversimplifying a bit; the origins of Japanese language, for instance, is very far from a settled case...
You're correct. A very large portion of the Japanese language likely came from the continental immigrants. However, to say that the Japanese language originated there is an entirely different thing. Even today, most linguists are very hesitant when talking about classifying Japanese and Korean (the two most similar major languages to each other) together on the language tree. Another thing that makes this tricky is the fact that Ainu isn't a single language. There are many Ainu languages, and in the past 2k years there would've been many more. And Ainu themselves are descendants of only a small subset of the total population of Jomon that inhabited the Japanese archipelago 2,300 years ago, at the beginning of 600 years of Yayoi migration. There were likely a very large number of Jomon languages, and they were possibly quite linguistically diverse.
Not much of an anthropologist. But linguistically, Japanese people do share many cognates with the Sino-Tibetan tree, no not chinese loanwords, we have to look at tibeto-burman languages like the long dead Tangut language and the Burmese language. I think any native Sino-Tibetan speaker knows that much work just went into the "Sino" side of the tree and the "tibetan" part is mostly a sloppy job. Such as not even realizing Tibeto-Burman languages have shown to develop agglutination and such, these "linguists" just took every fact from the written form. Japanese language is only a mystery to the west who have the habit of churning out lousy "studies" just so they can get their name in the public, basically using Asian languages as a stepping stone and not truly giving the care it deserves. I think it should be left to the shovel teeth-ers to figure out their own linguistic history instead of constant foreign "know it all" intervention.
The story of Qin shi huang wanting immortality is something I learned in school. Our teacher told us that the expedition failed and Xu fu was afraid to return since Qin shi huang was known for being very ruthless and would kill him
Love the jokes that you insert while teaching history. It is almost like a way to make sure the listener is staying engaged throughout the whole video. Nice series!
Awesome video! I wish there was more content about pre-historic east Asia, actually more about pre-history in general. The Yayoi arriving with agriculture reminds a lot of Anatolian farmers replacing and subsuming Western Gunter Gatherers in Europe.
At least one point is certain, that is, from the pre -Qin dynasty, there have been 4 large -scale immigrants from Chinese Han people to enter the Japanese islands, which have a profound impact on the historical trends of China and Japan. The Chinese carefully taught the primitives of Japan at the time to teach the knowledge of rice, cutting wells, manufacturing agricultural tools, spreading medicine, textiles and other knowledge. They pushed Japan from the brutal primitive society to a slave society. Chinese Han people's four large -scale immigrants enter the Japanese islands record : 1. Qin and Han Dynasty Qin Shihuang (秦始皇 259-210 BC) swept the six regions. In order to escape the war, the Chinese people fled to Japan in two ways: Some Chinese people crossed the sea from the Northeast to the Korean Peninsula to Japan. Japan. 2. During the Wei, Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties (420 -589 BC) During the period of "Upheaval of the Five Barbarians 五胡亂華", in order to avoid the war, the Chinese people began a wave of migration to a large -scale migration around. Most of the fleeing Chinese finally went to Japan, forming the climax of immigration to Japan. The representative is Liu Azhi (劉阿知), the descendant of Emperor Han Xian(漢獻帝). 3. The Sui and Tang Dynasties (581-907 BC) Japan sent a large -scale Tang ambassador to China to visit China, while China sent a large number of people to spread advanced technology and culture to Japan. Most of these people are monks or cultural scholars. They are left as required by the Japanese because of the difficult sailing and welcomed by Japan. They often stay and "domestication" into the Japanese. The representative is the monk Jianzhen(監真). 4. The Song (960-1279)and Ming dynasties(1368-1644) In the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people in the southern Song Dynasty broke their families. In order to avoid the war and kill, they moved to Japan one after another. The representative of this period was scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty - Lanxi Daolong(蘭溪道隆).
Next week i'll have an exam about Japan history and i've been struggling a lot studying it but eventually i end up here and laughing for your humour so thanks a lot for that (and for making me understand better what i've been studying for months) :)
Hey man I see a lot of channels like yours that are funny and interesting. The problem is that they feel that there channel is failing because they don’t get 100k subs in a year don’t be that guy. Growing your channel is a slow but rewarding process.
Xu Fu thinking the elixer of immortality could be found at Mt. Fuji made me laugh a little, because in your "Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" story it did end up there (though Xu Fu was probably too early). From a non-legend perspective, I were I in Xu Fu's place I don't think I'd return to China either.
@Jacky Phantom dude, you just answered your own question with your later replies. Korean and Chinese ofc didnt come out of thin air, but descend from ancient people who lived there or migrated there back then. So technically they were not Chinese or Korean yet, but their ancestors. Well, it also depends on your definition of Chinese and Korean. Would love to hear your definition of Chinese and Korean.
Xufu is a smart and genius guy , he not stupid and even think the elixir immortality can be found in japan , he just simple .... run from the emperor , a terrible tyrant who make suffer for many peoples throught violence act and order like burn the book and buried scholars , build abo temple , mausolium , great wall or streets .... So he plain this to lied emperor and protect his people , you can known what he think by his act look like bring the men , woman , engineer and seeds , if he really want elixir he don't need many thing like children's or seeds ! Its not need for find something but need for build some , maybe a settle in forgeiners soil , that all what he think and all his act just like run from tyrant and begin he new life with his people in the new land , you will suprised in china at 1986 they found a small village named xufu town , this village not change its name since the qing dynasty , many elders said they knew the story of xufu from their ancestors and claim this is a village of him before he left china , they also said , before he leave , xufu tell villagers if he not return , the emperor will be revenge and xu family and clan will be destroy so he tell them change their name , don't take a name family of xu or name of him anymore , so they did ! then xufu missing in a history since qin period for 2000 years until in qing dynasty the villagers recover the named of xu for their clan and family to memoir him , keep his story and claim to be his descandants : D
Maybe someone is interested: modern Japanese have about 90% of Yayoi genome in average. Range from ~80% up to 100% depending on region and family ancestry. The Yayoi, proto-Japonic speakers arrived from the Korean Peninsula (at this time it was non-Korean). The Korean Peninsula was in habidated by Japonic people that arrived from the ancient Yan state or southeastern China (still debated). Later proto-Koreans migrated from Manchuria into Korea and displaced and assimilated thr former “peninsular-Japonic” tribes. Most Japonic speakers migrated to Japan and the Ryukyu islands. Some stayed in the southern Korean Peninsula (peninsular-Japonic in pre-Baekje, pre-Silla, Gaya and Tanma) and we’re slowly assimilated.

@@blahz7152 Because they are majority wise Korean. Despite there being more than one Yayoi group, such as the ones along the Yangtze area, the current data on the genetic disposition of the Japanese largely suggest that the Yayoi came from Korea (around the Kofun period), which is why Koreans are the closest to the Japanese genetically speaking. Beyond anthropology, we also know this to be true based on Mumun (무문) pottery found in Korea and the Japanese archipelago.
It's amazing that you somehow manage to avoid mentioning migration from Korean peninsula at that time ... as if it were an impossible thing despite the geographical proximity.
I was expecting Xu to come back every few years promising he was getting closer, but there was some obstacle that he needed something else to overcome. Rinse and repeat until the emperor bites it.
It's fitting that Mount Fuji, the place were the Japanese emperor supposedly ordered Princess Kaguya's elixir of life destroyed, would also be the place the Emperor Qin Shu Huan would loose his hope of immortality. I doubt the two are legitimately connected, but it would still be cool of they were.
We also had a similar bell culture in the west. Every church needed a bell. Then cannons came out. Cannons are just flat bells laid on their sides. We were ready.
In fact, Jomon period already started rice farming in Japan. Japonica rice faming culture starting 6000BC in South east china, and Japan started rice faming about 4000BC(in Jomon period).
5:10 Regarding that, modern DNA studies have shown that the general Japanese population has about 15 % Jomon DNA. Given that an agricultural culture would be able to grow and sustain a much larger population, combined with waves of immigration mainly from Korea over the next two millennia, it's likely that much of the Jomon population was simply absorbed by the Yayoi people. At least one historical migration that didn't end in a genocide (looking at you, Indo-Europeans...)
About those crew that followed Xu Fu, there are legend say that most of them are the "Best scientist and inventor" (beside 1000 of young boys and girls) that Qin could offer... so this is why to this day the Japanese are good at inventing shit. Also the archers... no wonder why the Samurai was focusing alot on archers.
Thanks! I always found it helpful to relate an event to another well-known event. It helps me orient (hah) things. So I made sure to do it in the video.
Thank you for the primer on Japanese culture and society...prior to "Shogun" :-) .... I enjoy both your general sensibility and sense of humor... Introducing history should be fun
Supposedly, the tiny town where I live has been around since the Yayoi era, according to the sign outside the bike parking lot at the train station. Which, seeing as it's a town on the eastern coast, goes along with the migration theory you presented in your other video.
During the fall of Kingdom of Wu(吴) my ancestors kingdom, the people was fleeing to Japan to become one of the earliest record Yayoi come to Japan. AND that means my family can claiming the Emperor throne
the first emperor ordered the first mission impossible, and those few thousand excited souls at 2:34, are exactly 3 thousands young boys and girls, which is recorded in the Chinese history. Hence, Xu Fu probably landed in yamato Japan, and lived like a king.
Now, use your brain, do you think its only boys and girls????? They were part of the expedition, not the entire expedition, the reason Xu Fu asked for more archers means he found land, a place with enough population for him to warrant archers to overcome. What most likely happened was that they conquered the local Japanese population and settled down.
The Jomon have survived the early years of the Yayoi period. Over time, the Yayoi had interbreed with the Jomon. The Jomon have simply become extinct due to interbreeding with the Yayoi. The offspring of the Yayoi and the Jomon became the first base of the Yamato People.
@@skywindtakeshi1557 As a result of the Y-chromosome DNA analysis of the direct descendants of Emperor Meiji, it is known that their ancestors were Jomon people. The Yayoi people lived in the southern part of mainland China, but around 1000 B.C. A DNA test of rice found in Japan around 1000 B.C. showed that it was the same as that found in southern mainland China. Around AD 0, a great war broke out in mainland China, and the Han people living in Goguryeo were attacked by the Buyeo tribe (Tungus tribe). And the Yayoi people founded Silla. As a result of examining the DNA of the ruler of Baekje who fled to Japan at the time of the fall of Baekje, it was also found that it was the DNA of the Han Chinese. Jomon people (D1a) + Yayoi people (O1b2) = Yamato race Yamato People + Kofun People (O2) = Modern Japanese More than 40% of Japanese Y chromosome DNA is Jomon. There are almost no pure Jomon people, but the ancestors of Japanese people are Jomon people who migrated to the Japanese archipelago about 16,500 years ago.
Jomon weren’t struggling with food. Yayoi (ancient asians from today’s China and Korea) came (invaded) and mixed with Jomon folks that’s why majority of Japanese folks have both Yayoi DNA and Jomon DNA. Jomon had a great civilization although it’s still unknown. They made potters, blades, Venus (looks like Sumerian female god), obsidian/jade jewelry, mirror, gemstone goods, crayons, stone arts, instruments like drums, languages (oshite Moji) and so on. Because of the descendants of Yayoi and today’s mainstream history, Jomon civilization is hidden or deleted from the textbooks. At schools, Japanese students learn a little about them.
When I was studying Japanese history, its way before Qin for Chinese to migrating like 700 years prior to Yayoi, for its culture only not farming techniques, it’s more like a time by time patterns until Yayoi period farming techniques were introduced. You don’t know because earlier than Qin the continent was a warring time for at least six, seven centuries, the histories were not written consistently anywhere during that period
the yayoi are mostly from southern china, this explain why japanese has cultural elements that are found south of the yangtze. this also explain the y-DNA O2b in japanese(40%) and koreans(30%). yayoi are probably a subgroup of the ancient baiyue that was pushed out of this region by the han chinese.

There is big rivers and many mountain in Manchuria. Xu fu described three islands with three mountains where hermits live with eternal life.
Yep, scholars consider the Xu Fu story a legend, there is no good evidence for it.

2. During the Wei, Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties (420 -589 BC)
During the period of "Upheaval of the Five Barbarians 五胡亂華", in order to avoid the war, the Chinese people began a wave of migration to a large -scale migration around.
Most of the fleeing Chinese finally went to Japan, forming the climax of immigration to Japan. The representative is Liu Azhi (劉阿知), the descendant of Emperor Han Xian(漢獻帝).
3. The Sui and Tang Dynasties (581-907 BC)
Japan sent a large -scale Tang ambassador to China to visit China, while China sent a large number of people to spread advanced technology and culture to Japan. Most of these people are monks or cultural scholars. They are left as required by the Japanese because of the difficult sailing and welcomed by Japan. They often stay and "domestication" into the Japanese. The representative is the monk Jianzhen(監真).
4. The Song (960-1279)and Ming dynasties(1368-1644)
In the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people in the southern Song Dynasty broke their families. In order to avoid the war and kill, they moved to Japan one after another. The representative of this period was scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty - Lanxi Daolong(蘭溪道隆).
How can the Korean Peninsula be non-Korean? 😂
@@blahz7152 Because they are majority wise Korean. Despite there being more than one Yayoi group, such as the ones along the Yangtze area, the current data on the genetic disposition of the Japanese largely suggest that the Yayoi came from Korea (around the Kofun period), which is why Koreans are the closest to the Japanese genetically speaking. Beyond anthropology, we also know this to be true based on Mumun (무문) pottery found in Korea and the Japanese archipelago.
@@andrew-song Loool. There were no Yayoi in the yangzte area. Yayoi have no relation to filthy chinese
Tomorrow I have an history of japan exam and I didn't study enough so, your videos are a blessing to me. Thank you!
So maybe THATS why animal crissing has bells for money?
OH SHIT YE
Mitchred99 derp no shit Sherlock
It's amazing that you somehow manage to avoid mentioning migration from Korean peninsula at that time ... as if it were an impossible thing despite the geographical proximity.
That ruler joke... stupidly funny! :D Top roar!
😅
I was expecting Xu to come back every few years promising he was getting closer, but there was some obstacle that he needed something else to overcome. Rinse and repeat until the emperor bites it.
6:19 YOU CALLED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😂😂 The ruler bit had me dying
Great Japanese history which I never thought of
Just the skit wif thw ruler alone deserves a LIKE lol. Great vid keep up the good work
Really well done, informative and pretty funny! Subscibed!
I absolutely love this videos.
I spit my hot tea out at the ruler of a country joke. Thank you.
It's fitting that Mount Fuji, the place were the Japanese emperor supposedly ordered Princess Kaguya's elixir of life destroyed, would also be the place the Emperor Qin Shu Huan would loose his hope of immortality.
I doubt the two are legitimately connected, but it would still be cool of they were.
Yeah that's quite the coincidence :)
that otsutski haircut doe! i see naruto took a lot from ancient japan history so cool!
A colloboration with Geography now will be awesome. They almost have the same style of humor but more unassuming.
I just subbed to your channel, love it! XO
Thanks!
We also had a similar bell culture in the west. Every church needed a bell. Then cannons came out. Cannons are just flat bells laid on their sides. We were ready.
love your program... thank you!
Wow actual sources talk about ahead of the curve. Respect my dude
Can't wait for the next episode, great job
The sacrifice joke was so good lmao
Man, I watched a few of your videos for Japan already, and they are simply amazing! Cheers from Japan! ;)
Thank you! It only goes downhill from here... 🤣
In fact, Jomon period already started rice farming in Japan. Japonica rice faming culture starting 6000BC in South east china, and Japan started rice faming about 4000BC(in Jomon period).
Those dad jokes near the end... 😂
5:10 Regarding that, modern DNA studies have shown that the general Japanese population has about 15 % Jomon DNA. Given that an agricultural culture would be able to grow and sustain a much larger population, combined with waves of immigration mainly from Korea over the next two millennia, it's likely that much of the Jomon population was simply absorbed by the Yayoi people. At least one historical migration that didn't end in a genocide (looking at you, Indo-Europeans...)
1:52
you nailed the pronunciation, don't worry about it!
You're just being nice :D
The ruler skit killed me.
About those crew that followed Xu Fu, there are legend say that most of them are the "Best scientist and inventor" (beside 1000 of young boys and girls) that Qin could offer... so this is why to this day the Japanese are good at inventing shit. Also the archers... no wonder why the Samurai was focusing alot on archers.
great video
great comment
I appreciate the relation to other historical events in the same time
Thanks! I always found it helpful to relate an event to another well-known event. It helps me orient (hah) things. So I made sure to do it in the video.
This video was different. Really cute. 10 stars
After watching half of your videos, I finally subscribed.
PS - The whispering worked.
;)
your videos ar sooooooo good!!!!
;)
pahahahahaahha and the ruler of a country you shall be! yup started from history of Japan 1 and working my way up....the consistency is spot on!
Safe travels :)
📏Ruler! Nice humor.. . I watch these videos for cute sketch and of course humor!! ! 😊😊😊
Hahaha your humour is great, loved the ruler bit. 📏
Thanks 😅
Great humor "the ruler of a country" kept me laughing for at least 10 min :) :) :) Great videos as well!
This comment made me happy :)
Wow I just realize the pokemon Bronzong (dotakun in Japanese) is supposed to be a dotaku! How cool!!
Loved the rich and ruler joke 😆
When I see Jomon and Yayoi style pottery I think of the Legend of Zelda. Specifically certain dungeons that reminded me of that style.
Cool. I've never played that
I was amazed that your channel is new and recently took off. You are hilarious and informative. I wish you all the best.
Woohoo thanks!
5:50 "Bells were the Shit" My ass! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Thank you for the primer on Japanese culture and society...prior to "Shogun" :-) .... I enjoy both your general sensibility and sense of humor... Introducing history should be fun
Glad you like it!
Great video! Bells ARE the shieet!!!🔔🔔🔔
A popular vtuber is the princess of this dynasty
love the content, and bells man, they're the shit.
Totes. Those bells man
Subscribed, you're funny and explain things clear. I cant wait for the next video :)
Supposedly, the tiny town where I live has been around since the Yayoi era, according to the sign outside the bike parking lot at the train station. Which, seeing as it's a town on the eastern coast, goes along with the migration theory you presented in your other video.
Mary Gebbie Where is that?
I feel enriched. Thankyou for making these videos
I have subscribed your channel
Thanks for watching!
Another great video.
The way he keeps saying "for ten thousand years..." keeps giving me 40k vibes

Isn't that "Hell's Paradise" manga story?! 🤔
Hells paradise does incorporate that, yes
"Oh wise one, what must we do to appease the Entertainment Gods?"
"Sacrifice your teddie in front of the Pop Alter in your home."
You’re so funny, very easy to follow your narration. ✌️😂👏👍🌈
I spat up my milk laughing at the rich-ruler part.
These videos just get funnier and funnier; awesome work.
Haha!
The animation of "grew out of the Jomon" took me out lmao
Funny and informative.
During the fall of Kingdom of Wu(吴) my ancestors kingdom, the people was fleeing to Japan to become one of the earliest record Yayoi come to Japan. AND that means my family can claiming the Emperor throne
You must be pure blood of Royal family to claim the position of the emperor throne not some random commoner 🤣
Good video. Funny too
Thank you ;)
6:25 sacrificing your pop figures and Snoopy to lord Chin Chin like
This video is great
This comment is great
the first emperor ordered the first mission impossible, and those few thousand excited souls at 2:34,
are exactly 3 thousands young boys and girls, which is recorded in the Chinese history.
Hence, Xu Fu probably landed in yamato Japan, and lived like a king.
Now, use your brain, do you think its only boys and girls????? They were part of the expedition, not the entire expedition, the reason Xu Fu asked for more archers means he found land, a place with enough population for him to warrant archers to overcome. What most likely happened was that they conquered the local Japanese population and settled down.
Lol, Xu fu ship probably sunk in the middle of ocean somewhere.
I admit I burst out of laugh when the Qin Shi Huang was pronounced. Lmao
Doh! I'm not Chinese, but I tried really hard pronouncing that! =)
great effort, and yourself earn a sub, keep it up :D
@@Linfamy You definitely can pass for a chinese dude.
I'm part Chinese actually, maybe that's why.
The Jomon have survived the early years of the Yayoi period. Over time, the Yayoi had interbreed with the Jomon. The Jomon have simply become extinct due to interbreeding with the Yayoi. The offspring of the Yayoi and the Jomon became the first base of the Yamato People.
Japanese people have 97% Yayoi DNA. The Jōmon influence is insignificant.
@@skywindtakeshi1557 As a result of the Y-chromosome DNA analysis of the direct descendants of Emperor Meiji, it is known that their ancestors were Jomon people.
The Yayoi people lived in the southern part of mainland China, but around 1000 B.C.
A DNA test of rice found in Japan around 1000 B.C. showed that it was the same as that found in southern mainland China.
Around AD 0, a great war broke out in mainland China, and the Han people living in Goguryeo were attacked by the Buyeo tribe (Tungus tribe).
And the Yayoi people founded Silla.
As a result of examining the DNA of the ruler of Baekje who fled to Japan at the time of the fall of Baekje, it was also found that it was the DNA of the Han Chinese.
Jomon people (D1a) + Yayoi people (O1b2) = Yamato race
Yamato People + Kofun People (O2) = Modern Japanese
More than 40% of Japanese Y chromosome DNA is Jomon.
There are almost no pure Jomon people, but the ancestors of Japanese people are Jomon people who migrated to the Japanese archipelago about 16,500 years ago.
The yayoi also don't exist anymore
Great video man, subscribed
Jomon weren’t struggling with food. Yayoi (ancient asians from today’s China and Korea) came (invaded) and mixed with Jomon folks that’s why majority of Japanese folks have both Yayoi DNA and Jomon DNA. Jomon had a great civilization although it’s still unknown. They made potters, blades, Venus (looks like Sumerian female god), obsidian/jade jewelry, mirror, gemstone goods, crayons, stone arts, instruments like drums, languages (oshite Moji) and so on. Because of the descendants of Yayoi and today’s mainstream history, Jomon civilization is hidden or deleted from the textbooks. At schools, Japanese students learn a little about them.
Majority of the modern Japanese people today have more Yayoi than Jomon.
As a result of Y-chromosome DNA test of direct descendants of Emperor Meiji, their ancestors were Jomon people.
3:48 lol he drank the Grimace shake
When I was studying Japanese history, its way before Qin for Chinese to migrating like 700 years prior to Yayoi, for its culture only not farming techniques, it’s more like a time by time patterns until Yayoi period farming techniques were introduced. You don’t know because earlier than Qin the continent was a warring time for at least six, seven centuries, the histories were not written consistently anywhere during that period
Bells are awesome!
I like your XuFu at 1:37. hahaha
the yayoi are mostly from southern china, this explain why japanese has cultural elements that are found south of the yangtze.
this also explain the y-DNA O2b in japanese(40%) and koreans(30%).
yayoi are probably a subgroup of the ancient baiyue that was pushed out of this region by the han chinese.
At least one point is certain, that is, from the pre -Qin dynasty, there have been 4 times large -scale immigrants from Chinese Han people to enter the Japanese islands, which have a profound impact on the historical trends of China and Japan.
The Chinese carefully taught the primitives of Japan at the time to teach the knowledge of rice, cutting wells, manufacturing agricultural tools, spreading medicine, textiles and other knowledge. They pushed Japan from the brutal primitive society to a slave society.
Chinese Han people's four large -scale immigrants enter the Japanese islands record :
1. Qin and Han Dynasty
Qin Shihuang (秦始皇 259-210 BC) swept the six regions. In order to escape the war, the Chinese people fled to Japan in two ways: Some Chinese people crossed the sea from the Northeast to the Korean Peninsula to Japan. Japan.

As a result of testing the DNA of the ruling Baekje people who fled to Japan when Baekje collapsed, it is also known that it is the DNA of the Han people.
