Empty sea Bai Juyi
It is reported that the empty sea in the film has a prototype. If we say that people who had influence on Japan before modern times, the air sea can definitely rank in the top three. The empty sea is also called? Master of Buddhism? I'm afraid there is no one in Japan who doesn't know his name. Even in China, many temples have statues of him, such as Lingyin Temple, Baima Temple and Nanshan Temple.
When the story in the novel is put on the screen, it is estimated that the empty sea will also be known by many people in China. In 804 AD, a ship that sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty entered China, and the ship was empty. In the second year, Konghai entered Ximing Temple in Chang 'an and began to study.

Konghai is not only a monk, but also a good poet. In the film, Hong and Bai Juyi are both accomplished poets, and there are many intersections and stories between them. However, in the real history, although they lived in the same era, there is no evidence of their academic exchanges together from various historical records. It can also be seen from here that the two may not have any chance to know each other at all.
Konghai arrived in China in 804 and returned to Japan in 806. In this process, he spread Siddhartha Sanskrit from China to Japan. It is for this reason that these letters are well preserved.

It is reported that under the inspiration of Sanskrit letters, Master Konghai also invented Hiragana, which has made great contributions to the cultural development of Japan. There are many commendable places in his life, and he has created works such as Debating and Exposing Two Religions and Ten Living Hearts, which have far-reaching influence on later generations.
