本期我们将会走进神秘的日本弥生时代,探索日本的起源。 我们中国有一些传说:方士徐福东渡大海,为秦始皇求取仙丹。但他没有取回仙丹,而是在海外建立了日本国。那么,日本人从哪里来?日本人的祖先真的是徐福吗?日本何时成为了一个国家?它最初的名字是什么? 玩过《古墓丽影》的玩家或许记得:日本有一个神秘的邪马台国,女王卑弥呼能够控制风暴,用神力统治日本岛。那么,邪马台是一个真实的国家吗?卑弥呼真的可以呼风唤雨吗? 我们知道,唐宋以来日本和中国交流频繁。但日本是什么时候开始和中国接触的呢?它是中国的朝贡国吗? 我们这次沙龙会一一为大家解答这些问题,最后还会有一些有趣的互动活动。欢迎大家参与! 参考书目: 《王权的诞生》 《史记》 《汉书》 《三国志》

In this session we step into Japan's mysterious Yayoi period to explore the origins of Japan. There is a Chinese legend that the alchemist Xu Fu crossed the sea to the east in search of an elixir of immortality for the First Emperor of Qin. He never brought the elixir back; instead, he founded the state of Japan overseas. So where did the Japanese come from? Was Xu Fu really their ancestor? When did Japan become a state? What was its original name? Anyone who has played Tomb Raider may remember that Japan had a mysterious kingdom called Yamatai, whose queen Himiko could command storms and ruled the Japanese islands with divine power. So was Yamatai a real kingdom? Could Himiko really summon wind and rain? We know that Japan and China were in frequent contact from the Tang and Song dynasties onward. But when did Japan first come into contact with China? Was it a tributary state of China? In this salon we will answer these questions one by one, and finish with some fun interactive activities.
