As we all know, Japan was very backward in ancient times, so they often came to our country to learn, whether it was educational experience or food, clothing, shelter and transportation, they followed suit everywhere, and gradually formed their own culture in the process of development. Once, the Sui Emperor was happy and gave the Japanese a piece of wood, and they became a national treasure of Japan, and even the emperor could not use it.
In 630 AD, Japan came to Chang'an for the first time, a total of 19 times, each time will not come in vain, will bring a lot of people, at least hundreds of people, these people have painters, carpenters, doctors, musicians, etc., it can be said that people from all walks of life have come to carry out all-round learning. These people who come here are not ordinary people, their status in Japan is very high, their learning ability is also very strong, and they have brought a lot of knowledge to Japan after completing their studies.
After more than two hundred years of study, they felt that they were basically the same, according to historical records, during this period, the Sui Emperor once received them, their attitude was very sincere, and they said a lot of good things to the Sui Emperor. As soon as the Sui Emperor was happy, he gave them a piece of wood, and they were very happy, held it in the palm of their hands, and carefully returned to Japan with this piece of wood.
In fact, this piece of wood is a piece of agarwood, agarwood everyone knows that it can be used as a medicinal spice or jewelry, but the medicinal value of this piece of wood is not large, it can be used to burn, there will be fragrance. But the Japanese were reluctant to burn it, so they collected it and placed it in an exhibition cabinet. The Japanese "Ancient Chronicles" records that their first generation of emperors held this piece of wood brought from the Central Plains, which shows how much they attach importance to this piece of wood.
They called this piece of wood Ranzaot, which has been preserved in Todaiji Temple as a national treasure, and a small piece of Ranzat that has been cut off is treasured in the Tokugawa Museum of Art in Japan. This thing can not even be used by the emperor, once a powerful and powerful general took a fancy to this piece of wood, felt that this piece of wood was very strange, and wanted to take it home, the elder of the Todaiji Temple saw it very anxious, busy said, don't move, this is a national treasure, the great general originally had some disbelief, but when he saw him so serious, he also had some fear.
However, he did not move this piece of wood and felt a little faceless, so he took it up, originally the weather was clear in the sky suddenly stormy, the elder of the Todaiji Temple said, you are not quick to put it down, they all said that they can not move, he also has some fear, hurry to put this piece of wood down. This matter added fuel to the fire and spread out, and it became that LanZat could not be used by anyone, not even the emperor.
Since then, no one has dared to pay attention to this piece of wood, and for thousands of years only Ashikaga Yoshimasa, Oda Nobunaga, and Emperor Meiji have scraped the powder on this piece of wood, and only some of the powder has been scraped, and it cannot be used, and the other emperors are even more pitiful, not even powder. Many people said that they couldn't understand it after seeing it, it was just a piece of rotten wood, but it had a different meaning for them at that time, which is why they attached so much importance to it.
