Why does Xu Fu’s hometown make Japanese people kneel down?

Because Xu Fu taught the locals how to use the things he brought there, and asked his followers to change their surnames.

Now Japanese descendants also call Xu Fu Emperor Jimmu and respect him as the first emperor of Japan.

Therefore, the Japanese respect Xu Fu very much, and many jokes happened. During Japan's invasion of China, a group of Japanese soldiers broke into a village in Jinshan Town, Jiangsu Province, preparing to burn, kill and snatch a handful.

Suddenly they saw the stone statue of Xu Fu, which frightened them. They quickly asked someone to inquire, and found out that this was the former residence of their ancestors, "Xu Fu Village". They immediately knelt down and worshiped.

I am afraid that I will get some retribution for disturbing my ancestor’s territory. After the Japanese kowtowed, they retreated respectfully. After all, this was the territory of their ancestors. Even if they had the courage to do so, they did not dare to act wildly. They have never acted wildly again.
