By sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty and introducing advanced laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, Japan's social system was actively promoted. After the reform of feudal society, Japan changed from a slave society to a feudal society, and the social system was completely changed.
2. Japanese culture and technology were deeply influenced by Tang civilization.
Learning and learning from the civilization of the Tang Dynasty is the main purpose of Japan's sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty. Most of the cultural relics brought back by Japanese envoys in the Tang Dynasty include laws and regulations, ancient books, Buddhist books, poems and songs, and Tang Pin such as tea sets.
The student monks studying in the Tang Dynasty also created Japanese pseudonyms with Chinese radical or cursive script. The envoys also introduced calligraphy, painting, sculpture, music, dance and other arts from the Tang Dynasty, which were digested and transformed into Japanese national culture.
3. Japanese social life style was also influenced by Tang Dynasty.
Architecturally, Japanese temples and cities are modeled after the Tang Dynasty. The most representative ones are today's Pingcheng Well in Nara and Pingan Well in Kyoto, which are exactly the same as Chang 'an. In terms of social customs and social atmosphere, the whole aristocratic society is filled with the atmosphere of being proud of Tang, and the social habits of the people are also affected to varying degrees.
Extended data
The envoy to Tang dynasty continued the status of Japanese ambassador to China in the past. The first ambassador to the Tang Dynasty was a dog in 630 AD. Since then, Japanese envoys have been to the Tang Dynasty for more than ten times, and it was not until 894 that Sugawara no michizane suggested abolishing it. During this period, there was an interval of more than 200 years, which made great contributions to the widespread spread of Tang culture and Buddhism in Japan.
The purpose of sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty is not only to show friendship and absorption with the Tang Dynasty, but also to collect information on the Korean Peninsula and East Asia.
There is not necessarily only one envoy in the Tang Dynasty, but when many people are involved, there will be "ambassadors" and "deputy ambassadors", and sometimes there will be envoys on the ambassadors. Along with the envoys, there were also overseas students and monks sent to the Tang Dynasty. Every time we go out to sea, 400-500 people cross the sea in four boats.
Before departure, the people who sent envoys from the Tang Dynasty will take their shipmates to the Yoshida Society in Osaka to pray for peace at sea. After that, the whole ship set out from Jinji, passed Jixi River to Dabanwan, and then to Nanbojin. Go to Kinna in Fukuoka through Seto Inland Sea, and then go to Xuan Jie Beach.
In the past, when Japan and the Korean Peninsula were friendly, they would land on the north shore of the Korean Peninsula and then enter the Tang Dynasty by land. However, since Japan became hostile to Silla, it went directly to China by sea. Because Japan's navigation technology was not fully mature at that time, Tang and his party often encountered shipwrecks when sailing at sea.
