In 1922, Ouyang Geng, the ambassador of the Republic of China to Chile, accidentally found "Chinese snot bamboo" and asked the Indian servants. The result was shocking: the bamboo was transplanted here 3,000 years ago by his ancestor Hou Xiwang, and the ancestral medicine was used to treat trauma.
Coincidentally. In the historical archives of Spain, the accounts of the origins of the Maya say: Three thousand years ago, [they] came from heaven by bamboo boat through the pontoon bridges and islands of heaven through the sacred road of the sea...
It is an endemic species in the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong, China, and is a good material for making bamboo rafts, and its leaves can be used in medicine for the treatment of trauma. This is consistent with what the South American Indian said.
So, how did China's unique bamboo come to South America? Who is Hou Xi Wang? Why did you cross the ocean to South America?
This is the famous "Yin Ren Dongdu" in Chinese history.
The Capital of the Yin People, also known as the Yin Merchants and Shang Dynasty people, was located on the site of the Yin Ruins in present-day Anyang, Henan.
In March 1047 BC, after King Wu of Zhou fell, the Shang Dynasty collapsed, and the Yin people scattered and fled, and their whereabouts became a mystery.
It is clearly recorded that Sima Qian said in the "Records of History" that Jizi led 5,000 remnants of the Shang Dynasty to the Korean Peninsula and later to the Zhou Dynasty. Another one went to the north, that is, the Xiongnu in the Qin and Han dynasties. The whereabouts of others are unknown.
However, in modern times, many discoveries have brought Yin ren back to people's vision again.
In 1973, on the coast of California, the United States, 11 large, artificially made stones with holes were found. American scholar Moriarty found that they came from about 2000-3000 years ago. Moreover, the origin of these stones is not in the Americas, it belongs to limestone, and such stones are only available in Taiwan and the southeast coastal areas.
Similarly, in 1975, in california, usa, fishermen salvaged a stone anchor weighing 152 kilograms from the seabed, which had also been unearthed in China.
Among the Indian tribes in the United States, there has always been a legend that they are all descendants of Chinese.
Judy, a tribal chieftain in Connecticut, usa, once said publicly: "I am a descendant of the Yin people of China!" "They also have ancestor worship, believe in the immortality of the soul, and have always had legends of the Tengu Swallowing the Sun and the Great Flood of Antiquity; they like to use Taiji diagrams and gluttonous patterns as ornaments, which are unique to Chinese culture.
There is much more evidence like this.
In 2015, the U.S. Daily Mail reported that petroglyphs and hieroglyphs had been found on rock walls in New Mexico, California, Oklahoma, and other places. American scholars have found that these hieroglyphs are very similar to the oracle bones of Yin Ruins, almost identical, and the time is about 1300 BC.
Moreover, 2900 years ago, the abrupt rise of the Olmec culture in the United States was highly similar to the Yin Ruins culture, and its emergence was not accidental.
According to the Indian scholar Irna Ylamei survey, the pronunciation of Indian is very similar to the Middle Chinese, for example, children are called wa, flowers are called hair, people are called silver, and so on.
All this does not support the view of "Yin Ren Dongdu".
So, 3,000 years ago, how did the Yin people cross thousands of miles and oceans?
In the Book of Verses. There is an article in the "Ode to The Shang" that praises the ancestors of the merchants, called "Long Hair", Yun: Fierce in Xiangtu, Intercepted overseas.
That is to say, the ancestors of the Yin merchants have already gone overseas and expanded their territory.
The Yin people's crusade only inherited the legacy of their ancestors, and they were not the first to reach the Americas along the footsteps of their ancestors. American scholars have found oracle bone rock carvings dating back 3300 years in the southeast region, 300 years before the Yin people's east crossing. This is also evidenced.
As for how they crossed the ocean, it is thanks to the "snot" I mentioned at the beginning. The bamboo is cut in two sections, which can be used as a boat.
After the Yin people crossed to the east, they were scattered in North America, South America and Oceania.
In order to prove that their ancestors came from the southeast coast of China, in 2010, Oceanian Polynesians, former presidential diplomatic adviser Yi Liya and others, riding in canoes, without any modern equipment assistance, only with the help of wind, the use of ocean currents, by fishing in the sea for food, collecting rainwater from the sky as fresh water, riding the wind and waves, lasting four months, traveling 30,000 kilometers, a group of people came to Fujian safely and unharmed, which is simply incredible. Their ancestors should have drifted there on the way to the Americas.
This is not an isolated case. In order to prove that canoes can cross the ocean, as early as 1852 in the late Qing Dynasty, the Chinese-American George W. Bush. Hugh drifted from the Sea of Japan to California in North America using ocean currents in a canoe. It turns out that it is entirely possible to bring enough dry food and fresh water and choose the right route.
The archaeological excavation of the Sanxingdui site in Guanghan, Sichuan, in 1986, is known to everyone, dating back to 3200 years, and is also part of the Yin Shang culture.
There are a lot of things unearthed in it, which is incredible. For example, a special seashell currency is only available in the Bay of Bengal in South Asia. There are also piles of tusks, many of which also come from South Asia. At the same time, the Jinsha site discovered in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in 2001, unearthed a piece of jade, which is from the Liangzhu culture of The Lower Yangtze River and Hangzhou, 2,000 kilometers away. Piles of ivory have also been found at the Jinsha site. It can be seen that the Sanxingdui site and the Jinsha site are in the same vein, and the distance is only tens of kilometers. This should be part of cultural exchanges, territorial expansion and commerce.
Bronzes account for most of the tens of thousands of artifacts unearthed at Sanxingdui, and it is estimated that the amount of copper used to cast these bronzes is staggering 9 tons, requiring 100 tons of copper ore. And Sichuan does not produce copper, where does copper come from? Archaeological investigations revealed that the copper came from the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, 1,000 kilometers away, where traces of the Shang Dynasty were also found.
So, what tools did the Yin merchants rely on for long-distance transportation or long-distance travel more than 3,000 years ago? There are many bamboos in the south, and it must be a raft made of bamboo.
Through long-term foreign exchanges, Yin merchants accumulated rich experience in water navigation, laid a solid technical foundation for the "Eastern Crusade", and finally realized the great feat of the "Yin People's Eastern Crusade".
