"Eight Gaga Road!" As soon as these 4 words are pronounced, even people who do not understand Japanese know that these are the words used by Japanese people in Japanese dramas to get angry and curse, but what does it mean? It actually has a direct connection with our China, and it is so "fierce" after translation.
People familiar with history know that Japan originally had no history and civilization, and even the Japanese people were gathered by people from all over the world (such as the ancient Central Plains people, the Wuyue people in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and a small number of Malays) gathered together, and most of the culture was introduced into the Tang Dynasty culture. That's why Japanese is often filled with Kanji.
Dating back to the Han Dynasty, in 57 AD, the king from Kyushu (a small country in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan) received a golden seal from Emperor Guangwu of Han and paid tribute to the Han Dynasty. This is the first time that Japan has officially come to China to pay tribute.
At that time, Japan's domestic wars were frequent, and wars were raging, and it was not until the middle of the 3rd century that the "Yamato Kingdom" appeared, and as it grew, it gradually conquered other small countries in Japan, and the chief was called "Daihaku", which was very similar to China, and was later renamed "Emperor".
Until 630 AD, Emperor Shu ming sent "Tang envoys" to China, when in order to learn Chinese culture, they specially selected "Tang envoys", from 630 to 895 for more than 260 years, they have appointed 19 envoys to tang, several times up to 500 people, the number of times, the scale, the length of time, it can be said that it is an unprecedented grand event in the history of Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges.
At that time, the relations between the two countries were actually good, and Japan, which had no cultural history, desperately studied the things of the Tang Dynasty, whether it was the legal system or literature and art, customs and habits, they all received all according to the order, and quickly wrote it down, it can be said that the system of the Tang Dynasty directly affected the development of Japan.
Returning to the opening "Eight Gaga Road", it is divided into 2 parts, the first part is "Baga", which means "red deer" in Chinese characters. Seeing these two words, some friends reacted, it is the "deer as a horse" in the "History".
It is said that after the death of Qin Shi Huang that year, the eunuch Zhao Gao seized real power, and once Zhao Gao presented a deer to Qin II and said, "Your Majesty, dedicate a horse to you." Of course, Qin II was inexplicable, saying that it was obviously a deer. However, the ministers present at that time did not dare to offend Zhao Gao, so they said, "This is indeed a horse, not a deer." ”
The Japanese who saw this story laughed at those who could not distinguish between horses and deer when they returned, calling them "red deer", which means "big idiot, fool". Therefore, the word "Baga" was still learned from our China.
Part 2, "Ya Lu", translates to "Wild Lang", which is better understood, "people in the countryside", meaning that the other party is not educated. It is used to express the contemptuous attitude of the Japanese people, shouting "Ya lu" to the enemy and opponents is to look down on you and dislike you.
Therefore, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, many Japanese troops would shout "Eight Gaga Road" to us loudly, on the one hand, they were scolding us for being stupid, and on the other hand, they were expressing that they looked down on us and did not put each other in their eyes, which can be said to be extremely arrogant, no wonder they often hold their heads high and say "Eight Gaga Road".
At that time, Japan was just a "little brother" who came to pay tribute to China, but it was really disgraceful to treat China that they had great kindness to after turning over. Today's China is strong and powerful, and we no longer need to be bullied by Japan and do not forget history, so that we can go further.
