The Tang Dynasty had particularly close exchanges with its eastern neighbors, North Korea and Japan. After Silla established a unified country on the Korean Peninsula, it often sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty and continued to send students to study in China. Japan would cooperate with the Tang Dynasty The exchanges between the DPRK and the DPRK were regarded as a national event, and "envoys to the Tang Dynasty" were sent to China more than ten times for exchanges and studies. In addition to doctors, painters, musicians and various craftsmen, there were also many overseas students and learned monks. The essence of Tang Dynasty culture, such as regulations, science and technology, Buddhism, Confucianism, school education, imperial examination system, and even customs and habits, were widely absorbed by Korea and Japan. In the East Asian cultural circle, Tang culture, which occupies a dominant position, has strong attraction and radiation. Therefore, the widespread absorption of Tang culture is the mainstream trend in other East Asian countries. The purpose of Japan, North Korea and other countries studying Tang Dynasty culture is: first, to learn and introduce the advanced culture and strengths of the Chinese nation to make up for their own shortcomings; second, to learn from the advanced culture and strengths of the Chinese nation and integrate them into their own culture, In this way, we can not only maintain the traditional culture, but also form an advanced culture that is suitable for its own development and can continue to progress. The first is to introduce the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty to promote the innovation of Japan's social system. After being sent to Tang Dynasty, he studied and studied eagerly in Chang'an. After returning to China, he participated in important matters and imitated the Tang system. The standards were formulated. The education system of the Tang Dynasty was also imitated. Various schools were opened to teach Sinology and train talents. In 818, Emperor Minega issued an edict to change the etiquette based on the suggestion of Sugawara Kiyomizu, the envoy to the Tang Dynasty. He also ordered that "men and women should wear clothes." "According to the Tang system" (lt; Da Nippon History gt; Volume 123), even the calendar, festivals, and customs were imitated as much as possible from China. The second step was to absorb the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and improve the level of Japanese culture and art. Each time the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty brought back a large number of Chinese Buddhist scriptures. Both the government and the public competed to write Tang poetry in Chinese. Poetry collections by famous poets of the Tang Dynasty such as Bai Juyi were widely circulated in Japan. Student monks studying in the Tang Dynasty also borrowed Chinese radicals or cursive scripts to create Japanese kana characters. Envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty also imported Tang Dynasty calligraphy, painting, sculpture, and music. Arts such as dance were digested and transformed and integrated into Japanese national culture. Even skills such as Go and sports such as sumo wrestling and polo were introduced from the Tang Dynasty. The missions to the Tang Dynasty often included Japanese painters, musicians and even Go masters who visited the Tang Dynasty to learn from their teachers. Art. Watch the competition.
