Many people know that China is a history with thousands of years, and in ancient China, China was not called China, but named according to each different dynasty. In ancient times, there was also China, but it was not the name of our country, but an adjective, referring to the meaning of the central government, referring to the central area of a region. The name China also became the abbreviation of China after the founding of New China, and the full name of China is "People's Republic of China".
Each country has its own full name and abbreviation, such as the world hegemon United States, whose full name is "United States of America", and the fighting nation Of Russia, whose full name is "Russian Federation". In recent years, exchanges between countries have also become very frequent, in order to facilitate communication, so everyone calls each other short for France. So many people may wonder, what is the full name of Japan? The full name of Japan may not be thought of, but it is very simple.
As we all know, in the history of our country, Japan was a vassal state of our country, and the name Japan was also given by our country. However, before the Tang Dynasty, Japan did not call this name, during the Han Dynasty, Japan sent emissaries to China, and at that time Japan did not have a name, so liu Xiu was given a name. According to the image of the Japanese emissary, Liu Xiu gave Japan the name "倭国", which at that time the meaning of "倭" was still very good, but it was later improved that 倭 became a derogatory term.
When the character "倭" became more and more perfect, Japan also wanted to change the name, but because the emperor during the Han Dynasty did not agree to Japan's request. During the Sui Dynasty, Japan urgently requested a name change, but it did not change. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that it was more specific that it was during the Wu Zetian period that Japan officially changed the name of the "Uighur Kingdom" to "Japan". The name has been used to this day, but the full name of Japan has been changed, that is, during World War II.
At that time, Japan's military strength had developed very strongly, it could be said that it was the strongest in Asia, and Japan also began to swell, so it changed its name to "Great Japanese Empire", which we have heard in the anti-Japanese drama. However, after the end of World War II, Japan changed its full name to "Japan Country", and this name is the full name of Japan, which has been used to this day, and many people may not believe that the full name of Japan will be so short, but it is true that Japan is also the shortest country in the world.
