A lecture was also given on the relationship with the Yoshinogari site. Many researchers from Japan, China, Taiwan, and South Korea participated and made presentations. In October 2008, the Saga-Xu Fu International Symposium was held in the city of Saga.With Anusaya, Aiswarya Behera, Sarvan Kumar, Shridhara Maharan. The name 'Furofuki' is said to come from the word 'Furofushi', which means 'do not grow old, do not die' in Japanese. Elixir of Immortality: Directed by Stanislav Aistov.

Conceptual Immortality - Something to highlight about the functioning of immortality is that it seems that the subject totally depends on the very concept of Saga and therefore when Saga disappeared from the map in the physical world in 1876, this concept within the minds and hearts of the People slowly began to disappear, constantly weakening Jofuku to the point of rendering him incapacitated.They are not exactly 'immortal' as in the western understanding of 'eternal' or 'not aged' forever instead, they would simply live an incredibly long life and eventually die of old age at some point (possibly inconceivably far in the future). It should be noted that if the elixir of Jofuku is given by Anqi Sheng, the 'immortal' Taoist. The history of China is filled with emperors and other important men who sought to live forever, but instead died an untimely death for their ambitions.

This elixir is expected to grant eternal life to the person who consumes it. Its main use is to return the subject to be used by someone 'immortal'. The elixir of immortality (known also as the ‘elixir of life’) is a legendary substance found in many ancient cultures. The name of this elixir is Furofuki, and it still grows on Mount Kinryu today. Xu Fu reached the top of Mount Kinryu, where he met a hermit and obtained the elixir of immortal life. As such, the place where he landed the cup is known as 'Bubai', which literally means 'floating cup'. The Documents of the Great Historian say that he came to a place with 'plains and wide swamps' and proclaimed himself king to never to return.Īccording to the tradition of Saga City, Saga Prefecture, Xu Fu came to the Ariake Sea, where he decided to float a cup on the water and go ashore where he made landfall. Xu then set sail again, but never returned from this trip.

Qin Shi Huang agreed, and sent archers to kill the giant fish. C., when asked by Qin Shi Huang, Xu Fu claimed that there was a giant sea creature blocking his way, and asked the archers to kill the creature. Using his own alchemical research, Cox then reveals secrets that have been kept hidden for millennia uncovered in his own modern-day quest to rediscover this long-sought elixir of life. Xu Fu sailed for several years without finding the mountain. In The Elixir of Immortality, Robert Cox reviews the alchemical lore of these traditions and the procedures each used to produce this fabulous elixir. C., Xu Fu was sent with three thousand virgin boys and girls to retrieve the elixir of life from the immortals, including Anqi Sheng, who supposedly lived on Penglai Mountain in the East Sea. He entrusted Xu Fu with the task of finding the secret of immortality. The ruler of Qin, Qin Shi Huang feared death and searched for a way to live forever.
