Baekje culture

During the reign of King Kotani, the territory of Baekje included most of the western part of the Korean Peninsula (except North Pyongan Road and South Pyongan Road).

Due to the continuous friendly relations with Japanese rulers, Baekje received material and military assistance from Japan. It was also during this period that a large number of Japanese royal families and scholars came to Baekje for educational and cultural exchanges. Examples include two wonders designed and built by Baekje immigrants in Nara (a city named after Baekje's "kingdom" by some scholars), the pagoda and the wooden temple Horyuji. It is generally acknowledged that many members of Baekje royal family and nobles intermarried with the Japanese royal family, and even Emperor Akihito acknowledged this fact. According to the Japanese History, Emperor Kanmu's mother, Mariko Takano, is a direct descendant of King Wuning, while Emperor Akihito is a descendant of Emperor Kanmu.

Since then, Baekje retreated under the military threat of Goguryeo's continuous southward movement. In 475 AD, the capital was ravaged by Goguryeo's invading army. After this invasion, Baekje moved its capital to Jinxiong (Duke of South Chungcheongnam-do) and signed a military cooperation treaty with Silla against Koguryo.

The territory of Baekje includes Chungcheongnam-do and Jeolla-do in South Korea today. This was the core area of Baekje during the Jin Xiong and Sibo periods.

Jinping Jinping County is a county established by Baekje in the northeast of China according to the historical records of the Southern Dynasties. However, according to historical records, from 350 A.D. (six years of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, five years of Baekje Valley King) to 490 A.D. (fourteen years of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty and twelve years of Baekje East City), Yi Renhong (pre-Qin), Murong Xianbei (former Yan) and Tuoba Xianbei (Northern Wei Dynasty) in northern China were established in Liucheng and Peiping.

Jinping county should be more likely to be a replication error. The "western Liaoning" here should be "western Liaoning", on the west side of a river. Compared with Liaohe River, Datong River should be closer to the truth. At the same time, Pyongyang on the Datong River is effectively controlled by Baekje and may become a regional shipping center. Pyongyang county (county) in Jin Dynasty west of Datong River. It was misinformed as Jinping County in western Liaoning. Others think that it may actually reflect the situation that one or several Baekje immigrant groups moved to western Liaoning. Even, this group has mastered a political entity and is a fairly independent regime. This regime is closer to the old country than the mainland court. Therefore, when the envoys of Baekje introduced the scenery to the Southern Dynasties, they would mention that the refugees once had a settlement in the west of Liaohe River, exaggerating it as "a little west of Liaoning".

In 538 AD, the Holy King moved the capital to Si 'an (Fuyu County), re-consolidated the kingship and rebuilt the kingdom into a powerful regime. Since then, the name of the country has been changed to Nanfuyu (because Baekje regards Fuyu as their birthplace).

The Simiao era coincided with the heyday of Baekje culture and Buddhism. Buddhism, craftsmen, handicrafts and royal customs were introduced to Japan together.

King Wuning's mausoleum was built in the form of mosaic brick tomb in China and influenced by imported goods from China, but it also included many traditional funerary objects of Baekje, such as gold crowns and gold earrings. The custom of sweeping graves also conforms to the unique tradition of Baekje. This mausoleum is considered as a representative mausoleum in the Jin Xiong era.

The luxurious gold and bronze incense burner unearthed from the ancient Buddhist temple in the Baekje King Cemetery in Fuyu County is regarded as the essence of Baekje culture and clearly shows the peak of Baekje's achievements. The creativity and Excellence of Baekje culture can be seen from the exquisite and elegant lotus shape on the top of the incense burner, the brilliant and beautiful brick pattern, the charm of smooth lines in pottery style and the smooth and elegant inscription calligraphy. The smiling face of the Buddha statue and the gorgeous but elegant Baekje pagoda show the connection between this creativity and Buddhism.

In the middle of the 7th century, with the growth of Silla's influence in the south-central part of the Korean Peninsula, Baekje began to lose its influence in this area. Finally, in 660 AD, Paisu crossed the sea with Silla to attack Baekje, and the capital of Baekje was finally captured. The whole war lasted less than 10 days. In the Tang Dynasty, Wang was appointed as the prefect, but he died unexpectedly. According to China's data, the Tang Dynasty sent 654.38+10,000 troops, while North Korea recorded130,000 troops.

The haunted house of Baekje sent a letter to Japan to support the return of Prince Fu Yufeng, whom the late Baekje King gave to Japan as a hostage, and asked Japan to send reinforcements to support Baekje's revival. Due to the haunted house Fuxin and the efforts of Japanese reinforcements, several counties were once recovered. However, Gao Zhen, the owner of the ghost room, suspected that Fuxin intended to rebel and put him to death. Silla learned that Baekje King had committed suicide. In 663, he negotiated with Liu Tang Gui Ren and defeated Japanese reinforcements and Baekje Ping in the Battle of Baijiangkou. In 672 AD, Silla rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and annexed Baekje. Zen Guang (Shin Guang), the royal family of Baekje, stayed in Japan and his grandson inherited Baekje's rule in Japan.

Baekje has incorporated many China cultures into its own culture and art. Buddhism has a strong influence on Baekje culture. Unlike Koguryo and Silla, the Buddha statues of Baekje always have a smile and a warm atmosphere. Baekje is also influenced by Taoism. 54 1 year, Nanliang sent technicians to Baekje to improve the culture of Baekje China.
