The Japanese are indeed a very studious nation. Although from a historical perspective, the relationship between the Japanese and Asian countries and European and American countries has changed, their studious relationship is indeed real. . Before the Meiji Restoration, the studious Japanese indeed learned a lot from the culture of the Tang Dynasty in China. After the Meiji Restoration, the studious Japanese began to become capitalist and learn all aspects from European and American countries. Even so, it cannot change that Japan is indeed greatly influenced by Chinese culture, especially the culture of the Tang Dynasty in China. This can also be reflected in their cultural classics and cultural traditions. So, what did the particularly studious Japanese learn from the Chinese Tang Dynasty culture?
First of all, the particularly studious Japanese absorbed the nutrients of Chinese Tang Dynasty literature, especially many Tang poems, and brought these Tang poems eastward to Japan. For example, from Murasaki Shikibu during the Heian period, we can find that Japanese literature was greatly influenced by Chinese literature, especially the culture of Tang poetry. Many of Bai Juyi's poems can be found in Murasaki Shikibu's "The Tale of Genji", especially the famous "Song of Everlasting Sorrow". In fact, Murasaki Shikibu is very familiar with Chinese Tang poetry and Sinology. She has also read "Bai Shi Changqing Collection". Therefore, Tang poetry can be said to be an important thing that the studious Japanese at that time learned from the Chinese Tang Dynasty culture.
In addition, the studious Japanese also studied Chinese classic literature and culture, and the Chinese schools of thought at that time were also studied and borrowed by the Japanese. For example, some of the ideas, thoughts and classics of Confucianism were also studied. The Japanese learned from it during the Tang Dynasty, and later developed their own school through mutation and filtering. Therefore, the Japanese are indeed eager to learn.
Therefore, the Japanese, who are particularly studious, have learned a lot from the Chinese Tang Dynasty culture in terms of literature, culture, and even language. Moreover, after these things were accepted and transformed by the Japanese, they also formed a specialized Sinology academically.
