The history of ancient exchanges between China and Japan is actually a "history of mutual rivalry."

China has traditionally valued land over the sea, whereas island nation Japan has long taken advantage of the ocean to plunder China and Korea, especially during the Ming and Qing dynasties. However, what unknown strengths did these bald-headed, barefoot Japanese people, who wielded long swords, possess that allowed them to repeatedly take the initiative in Sino-Japanese interactions? What overlooked or misinterpreted historical details exist between the two countries? This book begins with the legend of Xu Fu's eastern voyage, telling you a different story of Japan!

The Yuan army could not have conquered Japan without the "divine wind";

The "brightly-armored" Ming army couldn't defeat the "bare-bottomed" Wokou pirates;

The biggest Wokou during the Jiajing era were actually Chinese;

The defeat of the Qing army was not due to the backwardness of the Qing government; the Huai Army's guns and cannons were far more advanced than those of the Japanese army;

It wasn't just Japan that attacked China; China also had two shocking plans to "surprise attack Japan"...

Uncovering the dust-covered archives, so many years of misunderstanding can finally be clarified...
