What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
All the officials know that during the Tang and Song Dynasties, Chinese civilization was quite developed and leading the world, and many countries came to China to learn advanced culture at that time, where Japan's study time was very long, but what few people knew was that Japan was not just coming to China to learn advanced culture at that time. "What's going on here?
According to the Song Dynasty's "Magazine of The Wave of Fortune", a boat of the Uighur Kingdom (Japan) was floating on the (Song) territory, and there were three or twenty people in a group. (Japan) Women are sent to meet zhongzhou (Chinese) people, and choose the beautiful one to sleep, and the name is 'degree seed'". That is to say, at that time, there were twenty or thirty Japanese women who came to China by boat, and at that time Japan had a system of crossing the sea to restrict personnel from entering the Song Dynasty, and even the monks who entered the Song Dynasty were smuggled into the Song Dynasty by Chinese merchant ships, and these people were obviously sent by the government, and the people who could come to the Song Dynasty at that time were not rich or noble, that is to say, more than thirty Japanese officials and ladies came to China, so what did they come to do? As recorded in the later article, when he came to China and saw a handsome man, he took the initiative to go up and talk to him, tried every means to sleep with him for one night, and then conceived an excellent heir and brought it back to Japan, called "Du Seed". And Japanese beauties have very strict requirements for the "degree" object they choose, not only to be handsome, but also to be as tall as possible, and must be very smart and clever. This is strange, why do Japanese women travel thousands of miles to China to "live the seed"?
In fact, the reason is this, the average height of the ancient Japanese is very short, according to the statistics of future generations, the average height of the Japanese at that time was about 1.4, and the appearance was ugly, and there were more low-energy children in Japan. The Japanese want to improve the race, and the average height of Chinese men in ancient times is much higher than that of the Japanese, so the Japanese noble ladies came to China to breed, in fact, this is not the first time this has happened, as early as the Tang Dynasty has been recorded, the Uighur women at that time and the Tang Dynasty excellent men to breed, the Uighurs later developed into today's Uyghurs, the Japanese in order to improve the race, they sent these women over. As long as they are Japanese beauties who have spent their time, they will not only not be discriminated against when they return home, but will be taken care of. After the birth of the child, it is more carefully cared for, afraid of any mistakes, the child grows up, the same to receive the best education, choose the best partner for them, so as to ensure that the offspring are better.
Sure enough, because many Japanese have Chinese ancestry, so the feelings for China are also very deep, and later the Yuan Dynasty conquered Japan and encountered a typhoon, all the Mongols were killed by the Japanese, but all the Han people in the Yuan army were taken care of by the Japanese and were not killed, mainly because the Japanese felt that these people were their relatives. Moreover, there were many exchanges between the Song Dynasty and Japan, when Japanese women regarded coming to China as a paradise, and the status of Chinese merchants in Japan was also quite high.
It should be known that the reason why the Japanese respected the Chinese at that time was mainly because China during the Song Dynasty was quite advanced, and the famous historian Mr. Qi Xia once pointed out: "During the three hundred years of the rule of the two Song Dynasties, China's economic and cultural development ranked in the forefront of the world and was the most advanced and civilized country at that time." Mr. Yang Weisheng, a professor of history, also said: "In the two and three hundred and twenty years of the Song Dynasty, the height reached by material civilization and spiritual civilization was the peak of China's entire feudal social history, and it also occupied a leading position in the world's ancient history." Not only Chinese historians say this, but also foreign historians, such as the world-famous economic historian Gund Frank said: "In the 11th and 12th centuries of the Song Dynasty, China was undoubtedly the most economically advanced region in the world." Since the Song Dynasty in the 11th and 12th centuries, China's economy has far outpaced the rest of the world in terms of industrialization, commercialization, monetization, and urbanization. "Therefore, the Japanese people are quite admiring of China, and it is natural to understand that there is such a kind of behavior."
Of course, this behavior of Japanese beauties plays a non-negligible role in improving the overall quality of Japanese people, laying a certain foundation for Japan's future development.
