Tang poetry can be said to be a peak among many genres of China's ancient literary works. Tang Wenhua had a great influence on Japanese, let alone Tang poetry. In such an era of advocating Tang Wenhua, it is not incomprehensible that many Tang poems were introduced into Japan. Among the numerous Tang poems in China, a poem "Sleeping at Night" near Fengqiao was especially liked by the Japanese, and even included in Japanese textbooks because of its liking. Why can it be unique?
Next, let's take a closer look.
First of all, this poem is very easy to understand. Although Japan has been studying the Central Plains culture since ancient times, it is still not as long as China. It is beneficial to read some poems. If you really want to show them some poems with too many allusions, few people can really understand the meaning of poems except those who really understand China culture. This poem is different, the scenery is excellent, but it is very easy to understand and very suitable for beginners to enjoy.
In addition to the advantages of poetry, there is another reason why the Japanese like this poem, that is, Hanshan Temple mentioned in the poem. It is said that Hanshan Temple was built by the famous monk Hanshan, so it is called Hanshan Temple. There are many stories about Hanshan and the two masters. In Japan at that time, because of Jian Zhen's eastward crossing, the Japanese people's love for Buddhism reached a certain height, and Hanshan was among the monks they liked very much.
Japanese who like Hanshan can not only speak, but also learn Hanshan's poems, and even build a Hanshan Temple in Japan after China's Hanshan Temple! And this poem happened to be written about Hanshan Temple, which naturally won the favor of the Japanese. When it comes to Japanese love for Hanshan Temple, we have to mention a very related thing.
There is a stone tablet engraved with this poem in Hanshan Temple. The Japanese emperor likes this poem very much and wants to ship it back to Japan. At that time, it happened to be the period of Japanese invasion of China, and the arm could not twist the thigh. The temple can only find someone to copy it, but the plagiarist soon died.
And this is not the first thing that died because of copying a stone tablet. There are five people in history who want to carve stone tablets again, and all of them died soon after carving stone tablets. Anyway, it scared the Japanese emperor, dared not carry the stone tablet back to Japan, and preserved it.
In any case, China's culture can be recognized by the people of other countries, and it also proves the brilliance of Chinese civilization, which deserves the pride of everyone in China!
