Chapter 983: Chapter 969: The Origin of JapanSu Xuan, with an air of mystery, began to explain.
âWow, it sounds so interesting. Hurry up and tell me, whatâs the legend? Iâm so curious! I love listening to these kinds of tales.â
At this moment, this little girl looked extremely excited.
âHmm, okay, seeing how eager you are to learn, Iâll explain it to you. Iâm telling you, do you know why most peopleâs names in Japan are Ooshima, Inoue, and suddenly Aoi?â
âI donât know. There shouldnât be any special reason for this, right? Itâs like in Huaxia, where names like Zhao, Qian, Sun, Liu, Zhou Wu, Zheng and Wang are passed down from our ancestors. Is there some particular significance to them?â
The little girl said with the curiosity of a baby.
Of course thereâs a reason. Let me tell you, âCang Mountain has a well named Kongâ is actually the best way to explain Japanese names. Have you ever heard of Wu Dalang?â
âHeard of him, heard of him, the guy who sells pancakes, right? His wife is so beautiful, sheâs Panpan, my idol!â
âAhem, ahemâŚâ
At this moment, Shen Ruoqiu almost choked to death. To be honest, he didnât know how Su Xuan was going to explain âCang Mountain has a well named Kong.â Actually, âCang Mountain has a well named Kongâ refers to Kongkong. Although Shen Ruoqiu is known as the Snow Lady, he actually knows about these things. However, this Shu usually appears quite carefree on the outside, but in reality, heâs the most innocent one; he genuinely doesnât know.
And when Su Xuan started explaining âCang Mountain has a well named Kongâ and linked it to Wu Da, and this Shu even claimed Panpan was his idol, Shen Ruoqiu thought this was quite a treasure.
âUh, Ruqiu, is your throat uncomfortable? Didnât you say you wouldnât listen to us? Shu, Iâm telling you, we should not be ashamed to ask questions. If we donât understand, we should ask, in case someday we are tested on what âCang Mountain has a well named Kongâ means, wouldnât that be a bonus? Okay, Su Xuan, continue your explanation. By the way, where were we?â
Shu was nibbling on a bag of chips, asking eagerly as he ate.
âOh, you just mentioned that Panpan is your idol. Actually, great minds think alike; Panpan is my idol too. Uh, not to stray from the topic, Iâm telling you, Wu Da was actually not dead. He was kicked into the river by Ximen Qing, and then Wu Da drifted across the sea and ended up in Japan.â
âNo way, Wu Da didnât die? Thatâs impossible. How did Wu Da manage that?â
Shu asked curiously, looking as if he wouldnât be easily fooled, being a wise person.
âHmm, Iâm getting a bit hungry.â
Su Xuan cleared his throat twice, and Shu immediately understood, handing over his bag of chips to Su Xuan, saying.
âBrother Xuan, have some chips.â
This Shu classmate really has a desire to learn, Su Xuan wanted to give him a thumbs-up.
âNightmare. Shu, donât rush, Iâll tell you slowly with evidence. It is said that when Wu Da crossed the sea to Japan, at that time the Japanese were very backward, not even able to speak properly and having no writing system or country. They were still living primitively. When Wu Da saw this, he was very excited because he felt very accomplished.â
âWhy did he feel accomplished?â
Shu asked with great curiosity.
âBecause Wu Da knew how to make pancakes! Think about it, the people of Japan were so primitive then, while our Song was already flourishing. Wu Da managed to make things with fire, so he easily gathered a group of followers. As the number of followers grew, Wu Da thought about establishing his own grand empire. At that time, he set up his base on a mountain. He wanted a majestic name for it, initially wanting to name it Liang Mountain, but he didnât know how to write âLiang,â so he named it Cang Mountain instead.â
Su Xuan explained eloquently.
âSo thatâs the origin of Cang Mountain. What happened next? Did Wu Da manage to make a comeback and become an emperor for the ages?â
Shu was extremely excited, believing deeply in Su Xuanâs words.
âOf course, with his pancake-making skills, Wu Da conquered Japan. As more followers joined him, many ministers asked Wu Da if Japan should have a flag. Wu Da thought for a moment, looked at his pancake, slapped his forehead, and placed a pancake on a piece of white cloth, and thatâs how Japanâs flag came to be!â
âPfftâŚâ
When Su Xuan finished speaking, Shen Ruoqiu burst out laughing. Oh my, this guyâs imagination is as ridiculous as ever, even coming up with an origin story for Japanâs flag.
âYes, yes, Japanâs flag really is like this. So it originated from pancakes, huh? Tsk, tsk, our Wu Da was quite something.â
Shu said excitedly.
âAnd thereâs more. Wu Da believed that to govern a country well, they must have a writing system. But Master Wu hadnât read many books, so he didnât know many characters. Thatâs why half of the Japanese characters are the same as Huaxiaâs, with some being made up by Wu Da himself. This is the origin of Japanese writing!â
Su Xuan explained with a soft voice.
âYes, yes, many of Japanâs characters are like ours. So thatâs what happened, huh? Su Xuan, Japan really forgot its roots, claiming we copied them when their ancestors were all Wu Daâs followers.â
Shu continued passionately, quite indignant.
âBut Su Xuan, whatâs this got to do with âCang Mountain has a well named Kongâ? It seems you only talked about Cang Mountain!â
Shu asked curiously, while Su Xuan gave a mischievous smile.
âThatâs the key part. Let me tell you, later on, a big earthquake struck Japan, causing many casualties. Wu Da thought he should encourage procreation. So he ordered all females over sixteen to go into Cang Mountain. Wu Da started his procreation plan, and because he was so busy, he didnât have a particular place for it. Sometimes under a tree, sometimes under the moon, basically wherever. But Wu Da preferred to do it on the well because he felt the most accomplished there.â
Su Xuan explained, and when he finished, Shuâs face turned red with embarrassment. He knew full well what Su Xuanâs âthat thingâ referred to.
