October 28th, 2009 | by admin |japanese is originally from china?
because they have similar face.
and japanese also used chinese in ancient time.
japanese now also use chinese.
and they have smilar food culture.
japanese’s ancestor is chinese?
No, japanesese used chinese language in ancient time.
and i mean chinese and japanese’s eating habit is similar. not food. food is different all nation.
It is theorized that the people who now live in Japan originally came from China.
The original people of Japan are the Ainu. They have suffered in Japanese society due to prejudices and often try to hide their heritage as a result.

No. The Japanese language is not even related to Chinese.

First, I don’t know why this question is in Politics, but WTF?
Second, you are sadly mistaken to think that they have similar faces. They don’t.
Granted, I am not an ancient historian, but nothing I have learned causes me to think that the Japanese even spoke Chinese as a rule.
Yes, part of the Japanese character set is from the Chinese character set, but they pronounce them differently and I think they even mean different concepts.
Third, if Japanese today speak Chinese, it is probably the businessmen who do business in China, not the average Joe.
Fourth, their food is completely different. That is like saying that Mexican food is like Italian food!
Japanese food is based on the fact that Japan is a series of islands. Hence, a heavy seafood base to their diet. Also, since land is at a premium, there is not a lot of beef on the menu in Japan (except for the rich, who can afford it).
Chinese food is heavy on noodles and uses all meats: beef, pork, chicken and fish. Chinese cook their fish. Plus, the spices and sauces are generally different.
Yes, both cultures use sticky (white) rice, but that is where the similarities end.
Fifth, it is doubtful that the Japanese ancestors come from China. These two cultures had been enemies for most of recorded history. One could make a bettor argument for Japanese and Korean or Chinese and Vietnamese, but not Japanese and Chinese ancestory.
On a completely different note, domesticated dogs have been shown to originate in China, actually Mongolia. But this is over thousands of years ago (sorry creationists).
Also, you might have a better argument that the Inuits and Aluets have Chinese lineage, as the prevalent theory is that during an Ice Age, some ancient Chinese crossed the Bering Strait as it froze over.

I’m not totally agree with you. You are totally out of your mind. Please watch more Discovery channel or National Geographic channel about the history in Japan.

Yep. Modern Japanese people are the descendants of settlers, the Yayoi, from the Chinese mainland & paddy agriculture came with them at some time around 400BC. Archaeology shows the older Yomon (Ainu) culture replaced but the people themselves were not replaced, genetic intermingling can explain why the Japanese are often visually distinctive from other asians.
