Emperor Taizong gave the Tang Priest a customs clearance document. 1 10 None of the kings dared to slack off. What did he write?
Although countless monsters stopped them for various purposes along the way, most of them still passed through the territories of countries all over the world, and every time they went to a country, they had to take out customs clearance documents for verification, and they had to affix customs clearance seals when they left.
What is the nature of customs clearance documents? According to historical records, customs clearance documents are ancient diplomatic (exit) legal texts similar to today's passports, that is, ancient passports for going abroad. Then why can master Tang Xuanzang's customs clearance documents be treated with high standards by kings of all countries, and why 1 10 countries can't be slow?
I think there are four important reasons:
One: Thanks to Emperor Taizong for his huge customs clearance documents to Master Xuanzang. And look at the contents of the document;
Li Taizong, Emperor Taizong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, ordered Master Chen Xuanzang, the elder brother of Emperor Taizong, to go to the Guoyin Temple in West Tianzhu to worship Buddha and learn Buddhist scriptures. I was attacked by disease and my soul went to the underworld. Fortunately, Yang's times have become longer, and I feel that the ghost king has been put back into the world. Chen Shan will be widely circulated, and the Dojo of death has been built. The appearance of the golden body of avalokitesvara indicates that there are Buddhist scriptures in the west and you can live in seclusion and escape. Master Xuanzang traveled to Qian Shan to seek scriptures. Cross the western countries, never destroy good deeds, and do as you say. The thirteenth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty was an auspicious day in autumn. (Seal)
This kind of customs clearance is equivalent to the political weight of the Tang emperor's personal visit abroad. If there is no hostile country with equal strength, if we dare to stop it, wouldn't it be against the Tang Dynasty, which is expanding its territory vigorously?
Second, the rule of Guan Zhen initiated by Emperor Taizong was a heyday in the ancient history of China. The military and territory are unprecedentedly strong; Achieve unprecedented political unity; Finance? The Silk Road? Foreign trade goes directly to West Asia and Europe. Fame spread far and wide, and countries came to Korea. Datang with such strong soft and hard strength? Customs clearance documents? Which small country in Central Asia dares to neglect and expect something?
Three: Master Xuanzang clearly wrote in his letter that in order to thank the hades for prolonging the life of Emperor Taizong and to cross over the ghosts of the underworld, he sent a monk to seek truth from the scriptures in the Western Heaven. The specifications of this trip are equivalent to the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Today is also the highest level of diplomatic norms. Who wants to blame him?
Four: Xuanzang's westward journey is to learn from the scriptures. Without diplomatic missions and military missions, it will not only have no harm and influence on the countries he passed through, but also learn the details of the Tang Dynasty! Especially in the Islamic Buddhist countries in China, Asia and Africa, the eminent monks in the Tang Dynasty can also solve some profound religious problems for them, and both sides are good. Why not?
It is precisely because the Tang Dynasty was the invincible overlord in the world at that time that its powerful strength made all ethnic groups come to North Korea. You can imagine the high status of customs clearance documents in the Tang Dynasty. On my way to the west, I will go to a small country. Seeing Wen's death, whoever dares to make things difficult for Tang Priest will be given extremely high treatment and will be released smoothly.
