Send Tang envoys!

From the beginning of the seventh century to the end of the ninth century for about 264 years, the Wa Kingdom sent more than a dozen Tang missions to the Tang Dynasty in order to learn Chinese culture. The number of times, the scale of the project, the length of time, and the richness of the content can be described as an unprecedented event in the history of Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges. The envoys sent to Tang Dynasty made great contributions to promoting the development of Japanese society and promoting friendly exchanges between China and Japan.

In 630 A.D., Emperor Shu Ming finally sent the first envoy to the Tang Dynasty, from 630 to 895 for more than 260 years, the Wa Kingdom was in a period of social change, the Nara period and the Heian period of the Wa Imperial Court appointed a total of 19 envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and constantly sent people to China to study, each time the Tang Dynasty sent more than 100 people, sometimes as many as 500 people.

Many of China's legal systems, culture and arts, science and technology, and customs were introduced to the Wa Kingdom through them, and had a significant impact on the social development of the Wa Kingdom.

Later, Yuyang Mo agitated the ground, shocked the Ni Clothes and Feather Clothes Song, there was an Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty rule came to an end, but let the Japanese laugh, at this time they learned a lot of Chinese culture, self-recognition to become a teacher, so they stopped the arrival of the Tang envoys.

When the Mongols swept through China, the mountains and rivers were broken, the land of Shenzhou sank, and there was no China after Yashan, even if it was Hongwu Zhongxing, some Japanese people thought that they were the orthodox heirs of Chinese culture!

Now that Kenroku Abe has seen the miraculous rise of the two Chinas, especially the China on the sea, he would like to ask his own people, where can they talk about their sense of psychological superiority?

Now the strength of the two China is unprecedentedly strong, and what is even more terrifying is that her strength is still increasing!

The leader is the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the king of the southeastern country, but Kenroku Abe believes that the leader is the king of the world!

His fleet controlled the seas, his governance was so successful, the country was so powerful, the territory was so vast that he had the largest territory in Chinese history, even surpassing the Yuan Dynasty.

Maybe the area is not as good, but the difference is that the Chinese nation is actually in charge of the land there.

The few people of the Yuan Dynasty said that they were in charge of the places, but in fact they only controlled the big cities, and many places could not be controlled at all, and they were far less real than the leader's territory, and the national flag could be seen flying everywhere.

What's even more amazing is that the people in the southeast are rich, and no matter how poor they are, they can walk with their chests up and their faces shiny.

Their children, throw a chance to change their fate, because they can enroll in school for free!

As a lover of Chinese culture, he knows too well that the reason why the Japanese came from the era of ignorance is precisely because he absorbed the essence of Chinese culture, and he realized that knowledge changes fate, not only the fate of individuals, but also the fate of the country!

Kenroku Abe's belief that the Wakoku should send another Tang envoy resonated with Hideo Yamazaki and Kiyuro Ishihara, who had also been in Nanjing for a while and had seen everything in China. From the food, drink, clothing, and life of the people, to the folk customs and appearance, from the life of the market, to culture and health, they found that Chinese food and clothing were far more secure than those of the Japanese state, and they actively developed the productive forces and had much more abundant materials.

Comparing Nanjing with Edo, Nanjing is far more prosperous than Edo, and the material gap between the same class is very obvious, and there is even a kind of Chinese who are much richer than the Udo, but the prices in China are cheaper than the U country.

The three Japanese people all know "economics", which is taught in Chinese "universities", they have been to Chinese universities, they have university diplomas, and they know that often the richer you are, the higher the price.

China is definitely rich, they get almost half of the world's silver, so rich, but prices are low, which shows that China's productivity is growing faster than prices!

Compared with before, Chinese eat more meat, low prices, Chinese and delicious, the "food city" in front of Nanjing Confucius Temple--- other Chinese cities are a food street, here is a city, 365 days a year are crowded with people, go to eat a favorite food, often have to fight in general, too many people!

The three widows are much fatter than before, they are already short, and with the fat and fat, they all become balls, and when they walk, they are like balls rolling......

Not only is it good to eat, but the social security in China is very strong, and in the eyes of the three Japanese people, it is "beyond the reach" of the Japanese country in at least a few aspects.

First, in terms of medical treatment, although the Japanese people have studied ancient Chinese medicine, they are not as many pharmacies and pharmacies as there are in China, and the government has also opened public low-cost hospitals, and the diagnosis and treatment fees are very cheap--- and this terrifying productivity has lowered the price of drugs a lot, and the general public can afford to see a disease.

Second, in terms of education, the southeastern country has implemented "five-year compulsory education", that is, free primary school reading, while the Ming Dynasty is experimenting, and many cities have also done it.

Third, in terms of population policy, the two countries encourage vigorous population birth, and women and infants have received good medical care and living security, free of charge!

In the Wa Kingdom, there were many births and deaths, but this problem did not exist in the two Chinas, and the government spent a lot of effort and funds to invest in population development, and the results were remarkable.

Fourth, the cleanliness and order of China's streets are enviable......

……

Cang Liao knows etiquette, food and clothing are enough and knows shame.

Today's Chinese are far more confident than previous dynasties.

In addition to material, the Chinese are also full of spiritual life and rich in entertainment.

The Chinese culture here is strong, and there are public performances of Chinese culture, blowing, playing and singing, sports and temple fairs......

The school holds sports meetings, known as "developing sports and enhancing the people's physique", and in big cities, horse racing and polo are very popular, and you can openly bet and bet on your favorite team at the government-run racecourse.

A sport called "rugby" is in the ascendant in the two China, this kind of sport from the army has been promoted because it is full of confrontation and low requirements for the venue, and the "national league" is held every year, and when it comes to the season, China is in a frenzy, and at this time, the Chinese begin to boil their blood and gamble wildly, making the people jaw-dropping!

All the profits from these government-run competitions are reserved for public welfare, and are not included in the state treasury, and the annual accounts are made public.

It's a very novel and exciting sport, and the three widows have all gone to see it and gambled, but they haven't made much money, and they all think that those geisha in their country are really inferior.

……

Today's China has performed well in all aspects, and has the style of the Tang Dynasty, so it should send Tang envoys.

The three Japanese wrote a memo to explain the superiority of the current Chinese system in all aspects, and pointed out the necessity of sending new Tang envoys, but they did not send them back to China, because they knew that the Japanese state had been closed to the country for a long time, and it was a national policy.

However, in the winter, the clipper ship sent an important guest of the Japanese kingdom, much to the surprise of Kenroku Abe, who never expected that the two father and son would be able to meet in Nanjing, China.

The "old and middle" high-ranking officials of the Wa State, equivalent to the level of vice premier, Abe Tadashi Jinjing, reported his condolences to the Ming court.

The Edo shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, 薨!
