Tang Taizong used a very proud tone in his famous poetic work, "Spring Day Xuanwu Gate Feast group of courtiers", saying that "The King of Guangdong and the Kingdoms of Guangdong are still ashamed of the Eight Heavens", and now the countries of the Eight Wastes and Nine Heavens and Ten Lands have sent emissaries to Run to Chang'an City to bow down to the subjects, which makes me feel that the burden on my body is very heavy. This is the little pride of a brilliant king who cannot be suppressed after achieving the small goal of "the coming of all nations".
The small pride in Li Shimin's heart is understandable, after all, there were so many emperors in ancient China, and there were many periods of so-called great prosperity, but there were not many who could really achieve "all the kingdoms coming to the dynasty", and before the Tang Dynasty, it was Han. After being managed by many Ming emperors, the Han Dynasty flourished and became a superpower at that time, and many foreigners came to the Han Empire, including the world's most intelligent people in history: the Jews.
The reason why Jews are considered very intelligent by many people is also very simple, there are many well-known intelligent people, such as Einstein who put forward the theory of relativity, Marx who proposed Marxism, and others are Jews, and there are many well-known rich people in this nation.
More than 2,000 years ago, the Han Dynasty as the superpower in the world at that time, after Zhang Qian passed through the western region, its prosperity and fame were also spread to the four directions, with a very high reputation in the world, many foreigners who knew the reputation of the Great Han came to the Han Dynasty, especially those who longed for wealth, but also came to China in droves, at first just to accumulate wealth in the way of doing business, and maintain a certain distance from the Chinese ancients.
This is mainly due to the fact that the Jews at that time had their own unique religious beliefs, but with the passage of time, these Jews who settled in China gradually stepped out of their own circles, began to contact and intermarry with the Ancient Chinese people, and gradually were accepted by the extremely tolerant Chinese civilization, and they themselves began to fully integrate into the Chinese civilization, but the process was a little slow and long.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of Jews came to China by sea and land, all of whom belonged to the ten tribes that had disappeared in the ancient kingdom of Israel. In Jewish legend, the ancient kingdom of Israel consisted of twelve tribes, but in the eighth century BC, the Assyrians launched an attack and occupied the northern country of Israel, and since then there have been ten tribes of Jews scattered in the world.
The Ten Tribes lost their land and migrated only to places with peace, stability, and wealth, so in ancient times many Jews moved into China one after another, most of them living in Kaifeng, Henan, forming a relatively isolated small circle, and integrating into Chinese civilization at a very slow pace.
By the twentieth century, because Hitler led the Nazis to carry out extremely bloody massacres of Jews, a large number of Jews came to open and inclusive China, a large number of Jews were spared because they were in China, and they were also deeply grateful to China, such as Maurice Cohen, Jacob Rosenfeldb and others who contributed to China's development and construction.
As they spend more and more time in China, their descendants were born to speak Chinese dialects, learn Chinese language and Mandarin, and have a high sense of identification with Chinese civilization, and these Chinese Jews have basically abandoned their faith and call themselves the descendants of Yanhuang to the outside world.
