"Kojiki" was written in 712. It is the first written classic in Japanese history and one of the earliest extant Japanese literary works. The book is divided into three volumes. The first volume records the origins and myths and legends of Japanese gods, focusing on the formation of Japan's territory and the beginning of the emperor. The two gods Ienaki and Ienami created the country on the orders of the gods. They entered into a divine marriage and gave birth to children to the gods. After things such as "relinquishing the kingdom" and "descending from heaven", the descendant of Amaterasu Omikami, the god Waiha Rebi Komei, was finally born, the first emperor of Japan, Emperor Jinmu, who ruled the China of Weihara according to the destiny. The middle volume and the second volume are the records and legends of the thirty-three generations of Japanese emperors from Emperor Jimmu to Emperor Suiko. Historical facts and fiction are mixed. The records mainly focus on the Japanese emperor's conquests and quelling chaos, administrative structures, royal family legends, etc.
