What did Jian Zhen bring when he crossed to Japan? What did he bring?

Jian Zhen traveled to Japan. Many people think that if Jian Zhen didn't impart advanced civilization to Japan when he traveled to Japan in the Tang Dynasty, Japan wouldn't have developed so fast at that time, resulting in a series of problems between China and Japan. Therefore, it was criticized. First, let's talk about what Jian Zhen Dudong took away.

The first is Buddhist culture. Jian Zhen's eastward trip to Japan spread the formal Buddhist system to Japan, which can be said to be a radical cure for the chaotic Buddhist situation in Japan at that time, because there was no management method for becoming monks in Japan at that time, that is, there were basically no restrictions, but there were regulations in Japan that Buddhist disciples did not need to pay taxes and join the army, which led many people to become monks for tax evasion and did not want to join the army, so a large number of people became monks at that time, and the society at that time was quite chaotic.

Secondly, China's precious cultural relics, Du Dong, Jian Zhen, actually brought the original calligraphy of many calligraphers in the past dynasties, but did not bring them back, including the works of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. As a national treasure, Wang Xizhi's Mourning Post was exiled from now on. Wang Xizhi is also a book sage, and the importance of his works can be imagined. Later, the Japanese Museum held an exhibition of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Jian Zhen has undoubtedly become the biggest culprit in the loss of precious national treasures.

The third precious technology of the Tang Dynasty, we should know that all the people who went to Japan with Jian Zhen at that time were craftsmen, who gathered the technical essence of the Tang Dynasty at that time, such as casting, sculpture, calligraphy and painting, medicine and so on. It is these advanced technologies that have prompted Japan to develop rapidly in all aspects and gradually become stronger.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with cultural exchange, but the most terrible thing is that Jian Zhen and Du Dong brought back the essence but nothing, which is unacceptable to everyone, because as you can imagine, Japan really didn't have any advanced culture at that time, and it was ahead of Japan in all aspects during the Tang Dynasty, and there was no experience worth learning at all. Therefore, in this exchange, there are few other exchanges, mainly cultural communication and output. In other words, Jian Zhen Du Dong is actually just giving love.
