After thinking about it repeatedly, Gongsun Kang decided to send an envoy to Honshu Island to visit Himiko, the queen of Yamatai, and establish diplomacy with her.

The head of the regiment is Zheng He, and Zuo Ci is the deputy commander. They took 1,000 Japanese Eight Banner Army, and there was no problem in protecting themselves.

The purpose of diplomacy was to see if Himiko, the queen of Yamatai on the island of Honshu, could accept her belief in Thor.

Therefore, Zheng He and Zuo Ci observed all the customs and customs of Honshu Island with the eyes of ambassadors. They found:

The soil of Honshu Island is suitable for growing rice, mulberry hemp, and silkworms, and the Japanese people have learned how to weave silk and hemp into cloth. The river water of Wajima also produces white jade beads and green jade, and there is red soil on the mountain, and because the temperature is suitable and the climate is warm, vegetables can be grown in winter and summer. But there are no big beasts like tigers and leopards, only small birds and animals like hares, goats, and magpies.

The weapons of the Japanese people on the island of Honshu are also clumsy, and their weapons are mainly spears, wooden shields, wooden bows, and arrows made of bamboo. Arrowheads are also made from bamboo or from bones.

Compared with them, the Kyushu Eight Banners Army wore the leather armor of Gongsun Kangfa, held an iron spear with a wooden handle, and carried a broadsword. It's already a god suit.

Men like to tattoo words on their faces and then engrave patterns on their bodies, and distinguish between the high and low and the high and low by the left and right of the patterns on the body. The clothes worn by the men were all made of whole cloth and knotted together. The woman wore her long hair loosely, her hair was in a curly bun, and her clothes were like a single-layer quilt, which was tightly wrapped from head to bottom. And apply red pigment to the whole body, just like the powder cinnabar powder used in China at this time.

They also have fences, fences, and houses. Parents and brothers are not together, they both live separately. There is no difference between men and women at the assembly, and they eat directly with their hands, and use ceremonial tents and beans. I usually like to be barefoot, and I think that squatting and sitting are respectful to people. Often squatting there is considered the noblest courtesy.

The Wa people loved to drink alcohol, and many of them lived a long life, and it is said that many people lived to be more than 100 years old. There are many women in the country, and polygamy is advocated on the island. The chiefs and nobles had four or five wives, and the others had two wives and three wives.

Women have a particularly good temper, and they are said to be neither greedy nor jealous. It is rare for the people to see theft, and there are few lawsuits, and there are few disputes and lawsuits. If he commits a crime, his wife shall be held responsible, and the wife and children of the offender shall be confiscated; If it is serious, it will also kill his entire family, and even destroy his entire family. People die for more than ten days, and the family cries incessantly, can't drink or eat, but often uses songs and dances to express their inner feelings.

The Wa people were sometimes also savage, and when they crossed the sea, they often used burnt bones for divination, which was used to determine good luck and evil. Let a person not groom, not bathe, not eat meat, and not go near women, the name is "holding decay". If things are smooth sailing on the road, it will give many benefits to the person who is declining, such as financial and so on. But if someone else gets sick or killed while crossing the sea, the people in the boat will think that the person who is in decline is not prudent and kill him together.

During the period of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Japanese slave country was in turmoil, you beat me, I beat you, the people were not happy, and even a person who came forward to manage could not be found. There was no king for many years. There was a woman named Himiko, who was a capable person, and when she was older and had more social experience, she pretended to be a god every day, engaged in the art of ghosts and gods, and was able to use witchcraft to confuse everyone, so everyone made her queen together, called the Great Wa King. The Great Wa King lived in the kingdom of Yamadai, and at that time she had more than 1,000 maids. The palace and the fence and city walls where she lived were guarded by people with weapons. The laws are also particularly strict. However, despite this, the Japanese kingdom on the island of Honshu is still not unified, and there are hundreds of small countries. From the queen's kingdom to the east of the sea more than 1,000 miles, to the country of Kunu, although they are all Japanese people, but also do not belong to the queen's jurisdiction.

(This is the text of the "Biography of Dongyi" written by Fan Ye during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which is quoted in this article.) ）

The Japanese people are very simple, stupid and naïve at this time. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when China had entered a feudal society, the country was still working hard among the primitive tribes of the Bronze Age.

At this time, only Honshu Island had a civilization in Japan, but it was also very primitive, and there were too few records handed down, and the Chinese side only recorded that there was only one [Yamatai] (or a matriarchal society) that was the predecessor of today's Japan, and other nations and countries were later finished.
