Examples of Japanese being influenced by China culture.

Japanese kimono is based on clothing. Before the Edo era, kimono was called Wufu. This title originated from the commercial activities between Soochow and Japan during the Three Kingdoms period in China, which introduced the sewing methods of textiles and clothing to Japan.

On a more precise level, the word "Wufu" refers to the high-grade kimono made of silk, while the kimono made of linen cotton cloth will be called "Wu Tai".

The Japanese Nara era coincided with the prosperous Tang Dynasty in China. Japanese sent a large number of scholars and monks to study in China. These envoys brought the culture, art, laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty back to Japan-the "clothing order" was one of the systems formulated in the Nara era to imitate the Tang Dynasty.

2, text

Among Japanese characters, Chinese characters originated in China, and some of them have been deformed, which is different from today's Chinese characters in terms of glyphs. Japan first borrowed Chinese characters to express its own language, and later created Japanese letters based on Chinese characters, called pseudonyms.

There are two styles of pseudonyms, one is to borrow cursive script of Chinese characters to form hiragana, and the other is to borrow radical crowns of Chinese characters to form katakana. Some Chinese characters have different or even opposite meanings from those of China.

Step 3 paint

Japanese painting is also influenced by China. For example, the Institute of Chinese Painting in Japan is similar to Chinese painting. Its master Yang's autumn and winter series of Han paintings are very famous. He came to China with the envoy of the Ming Dynasty in 1467, and he especially loved the Southern Song painters Ma Yuan and Xia Gui.

4. Architecture

Perhaps the most famous is that Jian Zhen visited Japan six times to teach Buddhist scriptures, medicine, culture and agricultural technology. He instructed Japanese doctors to identify drugs, spread the architectural technology and sculpture art of the Tang Dynasty, and designed and presided over the construction of the Tang Zhaoti Temple.

This temple, based on the Buddhist architecture of the Tang Dynasty, is a pearl in the world and has been preserved to this day. After Jian Zhen's death, his disciples made a statue for him. It is still enshrined in the temple and is designated as a "national treasure".

5. System

The most important Japanese envoy to Sui Dynasty was sent by Shoto Kutaishi in the third year of Sui Dynasty (607). He sent his sister Xiao Ye to Luoyang, the eastern capital of Sui Dynasty, with the Japanese Emperor's credentials, to seek to establish diplomatic relations with China in order to improve Japan's international status. This was an important diplomatic measure of Japan at that time.

Shoto Kutaishi has a solid foundation in Sinology, and attaches great importance to the development of relations with the Sui Dynasty. He hopes to actively introduce various advanced cultures and systems from China through this measure, so as to establish a sound national system. Therefore, there were many foreign students and monks in the delegation sent to the Sui Dynasty.

Japanese students are arranged to study in imperial academy. There were six schools in imperial academy in the Tang Dynasty: Guo Zi School, imperial academy School, Four Schools, Law School, Calligraphy School and Arithmetic School, with different enrollment targets. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered Zhao, four teaching assistants from imperial academy, to give lessons to foreign students in crack hon temple.

Japanese students study in China for several years or even decades, and then return to Japan to spread China culture and promote Japan's political, economic and cultural development. Among them, the most famous ones came from Nara to Abu Zhongma Road and Kibi No Asomi Makibi in China.
