After the change of Xuanwumen, The King of Qin Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor, for Tang Taizong, under his administration the Tang Dynasty gradually prospered, known in history as the "rule of Zhenguan", so the Tang Dynasty gradually entered the stage of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, after Tang Gaozong Li Zhi took the throne, he and his wife Wu Cao jointly ruled the world, creating the "Reign of Yonghui", after the death of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, Wu Zetian as the empress dowager of the imperial title system, and later Wu Zetian deposed emperor Zhongzong Li Xian, himself called the emperor, the history called "Wu Zhou" period.
During the Tang Dynasty, the kingdom of all nations came to the dynasty, but also the Chinese nation stood on the top of the world, and in the same period of the Uighur kingdom in the "Bird Era", because the Central Plains Dynasty had the most advanced culture at that time, in order to seek development, as early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Uighur State sent envoys to China to study, the Wuzhou Period, the Uighur envoys requested to change the name of the country, and the drunken Wu Zetian at the banquet agreed to change the name of the uighur state to Japan, and the name "Japan" has been used ever since.
The Asuka Era
The Asuka era is an important historical period in Japan, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Japan has followed the tradition of sending emissaries to learn, so from the beginning of the Asuka era to the end of the Japanese Heian period, a total of hundreds of years, Japan to learn the Content of the Tang Dynasty is very extensive, the Tang Dynasty system, science and technology, religious beliefs and customs have spread to Japan, the impact on Japan is far-reaching.
At the beginning of the Asuka era, Japan officially sent students to the Tang Dynasty to study a total of twelve times, of which the eighth envoy accompanied by Abe Nakamaru and Yoshibei Makoto was the most famous. As Buddhism spread to Japan, it had a profound impact on Japan.
The Prince of Asuka in japan made relevant reforms, making Japan evolve into a legal system, accelerating the spread of Buddhism in Japan, and under the influence of Buddhism, the Japanese Asuka culture with strong Buddhist overtones arose, so asuka culture revolved around Buddhism.
Not only that, Japanese returned students were deeply affected by the Sui and Tang feudal system, and a new class advocating reform appeared within the imperial family and nobility, after a series of power struggles, the reform faction established a new political power, Emperor Hyotoku took the throne, established a centralized power, and after establishing the national name "Dahua", followed the Tang Dynasty system, carried out reforms in an orderly manner, known in history as "Dahua Reform".
Change the country name
The panda is a national treasure of China, in fact, as early as the Wuzhou Period, the giant panda had crossed the ocean to Japan, which was a gift from Wu Zetian to Emperor Tianwu of Japan, which shows that the two countries had a deep friendship at that time. However, before the Wu Zhou Dynasty, China did not recognize the name of Japan, and still called the King of Japan the King of the Uighur Kingdom, because of the differences in the communication between the two countries.
In the Old Book of Tang, there is such a record: Japan is another name for the Uighur Kingdom, because the country is named Japan in "Japan", and some people think that the Uighur Kingdom thinks that "倭" is indecent, so the name of the country is changed to "Japan".
Some people also believe that Japan was a separate country, which was later incorporated into the Uighur Kingdom, and because these people did not tell the truth after entering the imperial court, there were doubts in China, so they landed under the "Sun" according to the time of the Eastern Crusade of Emperor Wu of the Uighur Kingdom.
On the other hand, because the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty did not dredge up the Chinese, and the reasons were not clarified under the repeated communication between the two sides, China did not recognize the name "Japan" at that time. Until the Wu Zhou Period, Wu Zetian recognized the name of the country "Japan", and the subsequent King of the Uighur Kingdom also changed his name to "King of Japan".
At that time, tang sent Azuta Makoto to Wuzhou, because of his very polite manners, he was appreciated by Wu Zetian and therefore had a good feeling for Azuta Makoto, at the banquet, Wu Zetian got drunk and agreed to change the name of the country, this is because Wu Zetian himself also changed the name of the country "Tang" to "Zhou", so he was very curious about this matter, and soon let Awata Makoto return to Japan.
It can be seen from this that the change of the name of the country by the Uighur kingdom was indispensable to the work of Awata Makoto, and the name of Japan has also been used by the Japanese to this day, in 705 AD, Wu Zetian's health was getting worse and worse, and he was bedridden in the Yingxian Palace, and the prime minister Zhang Kamzhi and others launched the "Divine Dragon Revolution" to force Wu Zetian to abdicate.
Afterwards, Wu Zetian was forced to give the throne to the crown prince Li Xian, for Tang Zhongzong, so that the Wuzhou era ended, but the tang dynasty did not end, during the tang xuanzong Li Longji period, the Tang dynasty entered the "Kaiyuan prosperous era", Chang'an is still the center of the East Asian world.
Japan rises, a world power
Before the establishment of Japan's national consciousness, Japan had always regarded itself as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and respected the Tang Dynasty as superior. However, with the demise of the Tang Dynasty, Japan was no longer subject to the canonization of other dynasties, and an equal diplomatic mentality began to emerge.
After the Meiji Restoration, Japan's comprehensive national strength began to grow unprecedentedly, becoming the first country in Asia to enter the modernization, gradually embarking on the pace of foreign expansion, and even won the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War in 1895, surpassing China in international status.
Since then, Japan's ambitions have been expanding day by day, and it has been coveting China's territory in a vain attempt to dominate China, and finally launched the September 18 Incident on September 18, 1931, comprehensively invading and occupying the territory of northeast China, massacring a large number of Chinese people, and the "731 Unit" with deep sins.
On July 7, 1937, the Qiqi Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, and Japan began to invade China in an all-round way. Launching a war and massacring a large number of civilians, I would like to ask, has Japan really learned the essence of Chinese culture?
Since ancient times, China has used the state of etiquette and morality to transform people, and He has abused others and bullied the weak. Japan has come to learn culture since the Sui and Tang dynasties, and China has not rejected Japan's study of culture, but on the contrary, we have led it with civilization.
Don't suppress them because they are backward and ignorant, we open the door to welcome them to learn from our excellent culture, to learn from our advanced places, this is the state of etiquette.
On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and Japan was in a depression, inflation even caused the Japanese economy to collapse for a time, in order to stabilize the situation in Japan, the U.S. government began to help Japan's economic recovery.
Secondly, the Japanese government, which attaches great importance to education, has cultivated a large number of talents, which has played an indelible role in the country's economic development. After 1956, Japan's economy grew rapidly and ranked among the highest in the world.
In 1968, Japan became the world's second largest economy, after the United States. In 1978, when Comrade Deng Xiaoping paid a friendly visit to Japan, when Comrade Deng Xiaoping sat on Japan's Shinkansen, he personally experienced the rapid development of Japan and also felt eagerly that China also needed to further develop.
In this way, more than forty years after the reform and opening up, China has undergone earth-shaking changes, in 2010 China became the world's second largest economy, the world's second largest economy is no longer Japan, China and Japan are included in the seat of the world's great powers.
