- King Wen of Zhou

The world is false, but only Buddha is true.

- Prince Shotoku

In the Japanese political book "Nihon Shoki", it is recorded that the title of the second national letter is: Emperor Toten, Emperor Jing Shirasai.

There is no self-proclaimed Son of Heaven, and the more ruthless Emperor of the East comes directly.

But Yang Guang did not kill the envoys or send troops, but favored the envoys and students who came to China. That proves one thing: Japan's historical records are completely nonsense, and with the diplomatic incident caused by the last proclaimed Son of Heaven, there is certainly no self-proclaimed Son of Heaven or Emperor in this national letter.

The country may have been humble in the national letter, so Yang Guang didn't care.

There are three students studying abroad in the Japanese Kingdom: Gao Xiang Xuanli, Min and Nangong Yu'an, and these three people have returned to the Japanese after completing their studies and have become pillars of talent.

The Wa Kingdom then sent several groups of students and monks to study in China, until the Sui Dynasty ended with chaos and smoke.

Japan's own historical materials also admit that when Cao Cao's grandson became the emperor of the Great Wei, Japan still lived a life of slash-and-burn cultivation and drinking blood.

It can be said that from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, Japan has been learning from China. Learn the Chinese script, create Japan's own script, and learn the cultivation and animal husbandry of the Chinese language.

After the Southern Song Dynasty, China was enslaved by the Yuan Dynasty for a hundred years, and after the Ming Dynasty, it was ruled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty for nearly three hundred years.

In the process, much of the original Han culture was lost. Japan has never been ruled by foreign races, so many of the cultures they learned from China have been preserved and developed to this day.

1. The system of bureaucratic rule. The prince of the stable household formulated the "Twelfth Order of the Crown" for the selection of officials and personnel, and this measure played a role in suppressing the power of the clan gate lords and selecting talents to a certain extent. In the past, the wealthy family held official positions, and instead adopted the "Twelfth Order of Crown" for those who have the ability to contribute to the country, regardless of birth or family background. And this method of selecting officials is almost the copycat Cao Wei's "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System". The "Twelfth Rank of Crowns" is a system that divides officials into 12 ranks and distinguishes them by the color of their crowns. That is, the twelve orders of great virtue, small virtue, great benevolence, small benevolence, great ceremony, small ceremony, great letter, small letter, great righteousness, small righteousness, great wisdom, and small wisdom, each of which uses the color to make the crown hat. According to research, the so-called color refers to the color equivalent to the rank, and there were six colors in the color scale at that time, from top to bottom, purple, blue, red, yellow, white, and black. In the third year of Dahua (647), a seven-order and thirteen-color system was formulated, which from top to bottom was dark purple, light purple, crimson, group, green, and black.

Second, architecture. The architecture of Japan is very similar to that of the Han and Tang dynasties in China, with mainly wood, sliding doors and windows, and bucket arches connected to each other, and empty shelves on the ground. The architecture of the Han and Tang dynasties deeply influenced the Japanese, while the architecture of the Ming and Qing dynasties was dismissive and regarded as a form of degradation. When Japan entered the Nara period (710-794), this is the new ** of Sino-Japanese cultural "exchanges", China was in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, so Japan resolutely made their capital Kyoto a copy of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, when it comes to Japanese architecture, the "reference" of China is really endless, before the introduction of Chinese architectural techniques into Japan through Buddhism, Japan has no so-called architecture at all, and even the residence of dignitaries is just a large hut, when the magnificent Buddhist temple architecture is transmitted from China to JapanOnly these aristocratic classes had the opportunity to live in real houses, and directly introduced the glorious architectural forms of vermilion beams and columns and bucket arches and cornices in traditional Chinese architecture.

3. Culture. Taoist culture, Confucian culture, yin-yang culture (I Ching), and traditional Chinese medicine culture have penetrated into the daily life of the Japanese people. The Japanese have preserved the ancient tradition of sacrificial rituals, which have been lost in China. The most regrettable thing is that the Han people do not have their own dance now. In fact, there were many dances of the Han people in ancient times, and all of them were lost. The 56 ethnic groups in China, except for the Han nationality, each ethnic group has its own dance that has been handed down from ancient times, but the Han nationality does not have it and has been lost.

Japanese painting was even more influenced by the Chinese style, and liked to focus on the spirit of seclusion admired by Chinese scholars, so the freehand of landscape on ultramarine and pale green tones became the beginning of the "Yamato-e" art in the history of Japanese painting. Later, Japanese painting became obsessed with the literati painting style of the Song Dynasty, and admired the corner compositions of Ma Yuan and Xia Gui among the four Southern Song Dynasty artists, and Japanese ink painting entered the era of "borrowing" artistic conception. Of course, there was a more representative of Japanese painting - "ukiyo-e" derived from the theme of art JI, which we in China did not dare to take credit, after all, the aesthetic trend and moral code are fundamentally different from theirs. What about Japanese calligraphy, this makes the Chinese who have always been modest can't say, after all, the writing content of Japanese calligraphy is based on Chinese characters, how can that fake character get on the table? And most of the Japanese calligraphers are Buddhist monks who inherit Sinology (no way, you can't be a monk without learning Chinese), and the Japanese respect and fanaticism for Chinese calligraphy is quite moving, Su Shi's "Huangzhou Cold Food Post" was once collected by the Japanese Kikuchi Yutang, in September 1923, the Tokyo earthquake, Kikuchi rushed into the fire to rescue the "Huangzhou Cold Food Post" and his family property was damaged and burned, and then World War II ended, Japan surrendered, and the thousand-year-old national treasure returned to the motherland with the power of Mr. Wang Shijie, and is still treasured in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.

Fourth, the martial spirit. Bushido originally originated in the Western Han Dynasty in China, and the orthodox Han people had a martial culture in both the Sui and Tang dynasties. Japan's Toyo sword is made by imitating Tang swords; And China from the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the Tang knife craft was lost. Since the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, the martial culture of the Chinese people has been slowly lost, and they have become timid and afraid of things.

5. Tea ceremony. Nowadays in China, people don't pay any attention to drinking tea, and they just take hot water and drink it. As everyone knows, before the Southern Song Dynasty, the Chinese were very particular about drinking tea, and formed an art called tea ceremony.

Sixth, bathing culture. Chinese people now say that the Japanese are clean, but in fact, there was a time when the Chinese people also paid great attention to hygiene. Archaeologists have excavated a large number of pottery drainage pipes from the Western Jin Dynasty under the ruins of the ancient city of Luoyang, Henan, and proved that in the Western Jin Dynasty and even earlier in the Han Dynasty, Luoyang was full of bathing pools and hot springs, and everyone from the court ministers to the ordinary people had to bathe every day. The soup pond culture has deeply influenced the Japanese, and a bathing center in Kyoto, Japan, has a signboard that reads the original words on the bathtub of King Wen of Zhou in the Western Zhou Dynasty of China: Gou Rixin, Ri Ri Xin, every day is new.

7. Buddhism. Where did Buddhism in Japan come from? According to the Nihon Shoki, it was introduced from China via Korea in 552 AD. Most of Japan's sculptures are Buddha statues, especially from the style of Sinicized Buddhism "Zen Buddhism", which is basically a close relative of Chinese Buddha art, but when it comes to Buddhist art, it is difficult to avoid the historical fact that Japan stole the Dunhuang Buddhist collection and art masterpieces.

In 622 A.D., at the age of forty-seven, Prince Medo died. The young career and long-term intrigue caused the intelligent crown prince to fall ill and finally die before he could inherit the throne. Emperor Suiko is twenty years older than the prince of the stable, and if the stable can live for ten more years, he will be able to inherit the throne, but unfortunately his life will not be long.

Before dying, the stable owner left his last words: The world is false, but the Buddha is true. After his death, because of his merits, he was nicknamed King Shotoku, that is, Prince Shotoku.

When the stableman died, only his concubine Tachibana was by his side, and Tachibana watched her husband hang up, came to the palace to report to the queen, and told the queen the last words of the stable.

The elderly sent the middle-aged people, and Tuigu, who was an aunt, watched his nephew hang up, and he was also embarrassed. At that time, Japan did not necessarily say that the throne should be passed on to the son, and among the children and nephews, the stable was the best, but it was a pity that it was hanged.

Hearing the bad news, Suiko picked up a needle and thread and brocade, and embroidered a picture of heavenly bliss on the spot, which was enshrined in Horyuji Temple in Nara Prefecture, and is said to have been preserved to this day.

The Horyuji Temple was also built under the auspices of Prince Minoto, and the Nishiin Garan is the oldest preserved wooden complex in the world. This is also a big contribution of the stables.

In 626 A.D., the patriarch of the four dynasties of the Japanese Kingdom, Su I Mazi also died at the age of seventy-five, which was considered a long life at that time.

In 628 A.D., Emperor Suiko also died, also at the age of seventy-five.

The political power of the Wa Kingdom was held by Soga Ezo, the son of Soga Mazi, and a new scene was opened in the political arena of the Wa State.
