Chapter 107: The Great Men of the Tang Dynasty and Japan
"Abe Nakamaro, a great man in the Nara period, was famous in China and Japan, and his achievements are absolutely impossible to find a second in the Nara period, and even in the history of Japan, there is hardly anyone who can compare with him."
Professor Kitayama glanced at the crowd and seemed to see that they still didn't quite understand how powerful Abe's achievements were.
Immediately, he said bluntly.
"When it comes to Japanese onmyoji, I think the first thing you think of must be Abe Harumi, thinking that he is the first person to be an onmyoji."
The crowd nodded noncommittally.
Abe's contributions and achievements to the Onmyodo laid the foundation for the future development of the Onmyodo and had a profound impact on the Onmyodo.
"In fact, people who really understand Yin and Yang Tao and understand history do not think that Abe Harumi is the first person.
In other words, I think there are still people who can compare with Abe Harumi.
For example, Guanle Sangzheng not only brought the ideas of happiness and the five elements of yin and yang to Japan, but also taught many great figures of yin and yang, such as Yanghu Yuchen, who is respected as the "ancestor of the calendar" in Japan, Otomo Gao Cong, who is respected as the "ancestor of the astronomical way" in Japan, and Yamabei Hitachi, who is known as the "ancestor of the art of the family" in Japan.
It can be said that the monk Guanle is the pioneer of the Japanese Yin-Yang Dao, and his name is no less than that of Abe Harumi. ”
When everyone heard this, they already realized what Professor Kitayama meant by this, and their faces were shocked.
"Could it be...... Abe Nakamaro also ......"
"Yes, Abe Nakamaro is also a celebrity of the Yin and Yang Dao, and his achievements are the same as those of the Kanle monk, no less than Abe Qingming, and even better."
Professor Kitayama looked excited, his voice trembling.
"Because Abe Nakamaro's reputation is not like Abe Harumi, it is only passed down in Japan, and his name is also famous in China during the Tang Dynasty.
Master Kukai, you know, he once went to Huaguo, obtained Buddhist scriptures, and had a profound impact on Japanese Buddhism, Abe Harumi also went to Huaguo, and legend has it that he worshipped Master Bodao as a teacher.
Both of them are very powerful, they studied in China, and then they became famous in Japan. ”
Everyone nodded their heads.
They still know what Professor Kitayama said, and the extraordinary splendor of Huaguo is suspected to be much stronger than that of Japan, and people like Abe Haruaki and Kukai have gone to Huaguo one by one, like gilding, and have achieved extraordinary achievements.
Just when they were puzzled as to why Professor Kitayama suddenly mentioned this, Professor Kitayama changed his words.
"They are just in China to learn from the scriptures, Abe Zhongmalu is different, he has made extraordinary achievements in China, he participated in the imperial examination, high school jinshi, appointed Tang Zuo scattered to ride Chang Annan Duhu, the Tang Dynasty emperor is important to him, love, when Abe Zhongmalu returned to China, the Tang Dynasty emperor made him a duke.
The Tang Dynasty, one of the most prosperous dynasties in the history of China, had the reputation of all countries coming to the dynasty, and Abe Zhongmalu obtained the Jinshi and the official rank in such a brilliant Huaguo.
Anyone who is familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty in China will never fail to know a person named Chao Heng.
Chao Heng is the Chinese name of Abe Zhongmalu in China. ”
"Chao Heng?!"
Kenji Tuyumen, who likes ancient Chinese poems, changed his face:
"Professor Beishan, the Chao Heng you are talking about is the Chao Heng in the poem "Crying Chao Qingheng" made by Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty who is known as the 'poet immortal'?!"
For ancient poems, Kenji Tsuchigomon likes it very much, and he likes to read ancient poems every day when he has nothing to do.
And those who like ancient poetry, how can they not know Li Bai, this is a great poet known as a poet, and his talent is shocking to the past and the present.
Kenji Dogomon's favorite poet is Li Bai, he has read all of Li Bai's poems, and has studied each of Li Bai's poems, among which he is deeply impressed by Li Bai's poem, because that poem is related to Japan, to be precise, it is related to the Japanese.
It's "Crying Chao Qingheng"!
The reason why Li Bai wrote this poem is because Li Bai learned that his friend Chao Heng was going to return to Japan from China, because Chao Heng was Japanese, and on the way back, Chao Heng encountered a big wave at sea and drowned.
Knowing that his friend Chao Heng had unfortunately died, Li Bai was extremely sad, so he made a poem about crying Chao Heng.
Kenji Tuyumen never thought that Abe Zhongmaru was Chao Heng, who was a close friend of the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty.
Suddenly, Kenji Tsuchigomon was deeply aware of the achievements of Abe Nakamaro, a great celebrity who became famous in Japan and in China, and was able to make friends with Chinese celebrities!
"Yes, I'm talking about Chao Heng in the poem "Crying Chao Qingheng" made by Li Bai.
He is Abe Zhongmalu, not only with Li Bai as friends, but also with poets Wang Wei, Chu Guangxi, Zhao Ye (Hua) and other great poets of the Tang Dynasty. ”
When Kenji Tuyumen heard this, he gasped and stared at the boss with old eyes. He had heard of all the Chinese names mentioned by Professor Kitayama, and they were all famous poets in the history of China.
Followed by.
After Kenji Tsuchigomon explained the identities of Li Bai and Wang Wei, Professor Kitayama told some of Abe's deeds in Tang and Japan, and everyone was speechless.
They finally understood why Abe Nakamaro's achievements were better than Abe's.
Suddenly.
Professor Kitayama said at the end and added a word to Yoyo.
"You know, people worship the strong, and there are often people who pretend to be the name of the strong, or the descendants of the strong, in order to win vanity and attention, and of course it is also an alternative worship of the strong.
In fact, it is rumored that Haruaki Abe also claimed to be a descendant of Abe Nakamaro. ”
"What?!"
Everyone straightened up violently, and if it weren't for the presence of Abe Goyue Maro, they would have stood up in shock.
And they were horrified.
The first person of the Onmyoji, Harumi Abe, such a celebrity actually pretended to be someone else's descendant?!
This alone is enough to show how powerful Abe Nakamaro is, even Abe Harumaki respects and is proud of it.
"Don't take it seriously, this is just a rumor, there is a lot of controversy in the historiography about Abe Harumaki saying that he is a descendant of Abe Nakamaro, and I think it is false."
Professor Kitayama waved his hand, for fear that if he said a rumor on a whim, everyone would believe it, after all, this is just a controversial rumor, and it has not yet been confirmed or denied by the real hammer.
In fact, the main reason why he said this rumor was because today he learned that Abe Nakamaro was extraordinary.
A celebrity who existed in the Heian period was still extraordinary, maybe this rumor is not necessarily false, but unfortunately he can't prove it, as a historian, there is no confirmed thing, naturally you can't talk nonsense, historians have to be responsible for their own words.
"It's not fake, it's true."
Without warning, a lazy middle-aged voice came out, echoing in everyone's ears.
Moment.
Everyone suddenly turned their heads and looked directly at Abe Yuyue Maro, their expressions were extremely shocked, and their hearts were shocked.
"Really??" Professor Kitayama was afraid that he was hallucinating, so he couldn't help but ask.
It can be seen that when Professor Kitayama asked this, green tendons appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he was so shocked that his blood was gushing, and his voice was almost moaning.
Abe Mitake Maro took a toothpick and ate a pastry on the table, nodding.
"Really."
