"Actually, the Native Americans—the Indians—are descendants of the Shang Dynasty!"
This statement immediately captured the attention of the other three.
Shen Yuan continued, "Legend has it that King Wu of Zhou attacked King Zhou, defeating the Yin Army in the decisive Battle of Muye. He then breached the capital city of Zhaoge, and King Zhou immolated himself on the Lu Platform."
"But! Right as King Wu of Zhou was wiping out the Shang, an army of 250,000 Yin soldiers, along with their families and other residents, all vanished without a trace!"
"In reality, these Yin People crossed the eastern sea, sailed across the vast ocean, and arrived in America! To escape pursuit from the Zhou People, the Yin People changed their customs. But on every full moon, their elders would face east and weep, asking, 'Yīn dì ān fǒu?'—Is the land of Yin safe? Over time, this was corrupted into 'Yin-di-an.' When Columbus landed, he misheard it as 'Indian,' and the name stuck."
