As Baiyue and Wu people[edit source]

The ethnic concept of "Wa-zoku (倭族)" encompasses a wide range of regions and does not limit to the Wajin of the Japanese archipelago. According to Kenzaburo's theory,[6] Wa-zoku are Wajin who came to the Japanese archipelago with rice crop, whose ancestor was the same as the Yayoi people.[7] Torigoe says that the original place of the Wa-zoku is Yunnan.[6]

Suwa Haruo considered Wa-zoku to be part of Baiyue (百越) in southern China.[8]

The Wajin (and the Yayoi) are possibly descendants of the Wu people. A large paddy ruins in the area was created around 450 BC, the Warring States period, in Kyushu, and a record states that "Wajin [were the] self-named descendants of Zhou". An influential theory states that the Wu people of the Yangtze River area that followed the hydroponic rice cultivation culture, which is also a symbol of Yangtze civilization, drifted to the Japanese archipelago around the 5th century BC, in collaboration with the destruction of the Kingdom of Wu.

However, the ancestors of the Wu Dynasty’s Wu-Taibo was the descendant of Huangdi XuanYuan(黃帝軒轅)[9], which is consistent with the ancestors of most modern Chinese. The relationship between the Chinese immigrants of the Wu(吳) and the natives of the Yue(越) are inevitably hostile.

According to the records of the Hwangnyongsa Temple in Silla, Silla's attention to the countries was first Japan(日本), second China(中華), and third Wuyue(吳越).[10] Based on this, it is presumed that Silla people thought separately of Wuyue(吳越) and China(中華), but the distinction disappeared as the Silla people were replaced by the Chinese people.[11] Just as Wuyue(吳越) and China(中華) were not distinguished over time, it is possible that Wu(吳) and Yue(越) were misunderstood so that they were not distinguished.


my record : 

Latest revision as of 18:53, 21 September 2022 :

However, the ancestors of the [[Wu (state)|Wu Dynasty]]’s Wu-Taibo was the descendant of Huangdi XuanYuan(黃帝軒轅)<ref>The Huangdi mentioned here means ‘[[Jie of Xia|Jī(姬)]] Huangdi distorted by the Chinese people in ancient time’ and ‘Gongsun(公孫) Huangdi before distortion’, the former among them.</ref>, which is consistent with the ancestors of most modern Chinese.

The relationship between the Chinese immigrants of the Wu(吳) and the natives of the Yue(越) are inevitably hostile.

According to the records of the Hwangnyongsa Temple in [[Silla]], Silla's attention to the countries was first Japan(日本), second China(中華), and third '''Wuyue(吳越)'''.<ref>三國遺事([[Samguk Yusa]]) 卷 第三 > 塔像第四 > 皇龍寺九層塔 > 又海東名賢安弘撰東都成立記云. “新羅第二十七代女王爲主, 雖有道無威九韓侵勞. 若龍宫南皇龍寺建九層塔則隣國之災可鎮. 第一層日本, 第二層中華, 第三層吳越, 第四層托羅, 第五層鷹逰, 第六層靺鞨, 第七層丹國, 第八層女犾, 第九層獩㹮.</ref>

Based on this, it is presumed that Silla people thought separately of Wuyue(吳越) and China(中華), but the distinction disappeared as the Silla people were replaced by the Chinese people.<ref>It is claimed that Korea's Silla was founded by Six-clans of Gojoseon people, an immigrant from the northern part of the peninsula. The Six-clans of Gojoseon appears in the Samguk Sagi Record, which was written in 1145 by [[Kim Bu-sik|Chinese Korean]](Chinese Kim clan, not Korean Kim clan). But there are some suspicion about this record. The six-clans of Gojoseon are correspond to the Chinese surname distributed in northern China. If the six-clans existed from the early Silla period, they should exist from the early Japanese and Korean records. However, the first appearance of history books was in the 700s.</ref>

Just as Wuyue(吳越) and China(中華) were not distinguished over time, it is possible that Wu(吳) and Yue(越) were misunderstood so that they were not distinguished.
