What did the Japanese learn in China? ( 1)

/kloc-One day in the middle of the 6th century, a small Japanese with a monkey face walked alone on the street leading to the Sanhe Kingdom. He left home in a rage because he quarreled with his stepfather. Before going out, his mother gave him the money Wen Yongle had been giving him-that was his biological father's legacy-and now it is his only property. At that time, he had nothing but the string of copper coins from China ... A few years later, this young man with monkey face climbed up to the actual ruler of Japan from a poor boy with consistent money. He is Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the "first person who tried to deviate from China culture" in Japanese history. China people know that this place in Japan (not called Japan at that time) was around A.D. According to records, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, also gave Japan a golden seal engraved with the words "Hanwei Wangnu". At that time, people in China got up early to go to court, and it took half an hour to change clothes. Exquisite clothes have reached a fairly civilized level. At the same time, in Japan, "men are all naked, with kapok on their heads and banners on their clothes, but they are finally connected." In other words, when Chinese people have regarded clothing as an important part of etiquette, Japanese people just barely know how to make rough clothes to keep out the cold. The bun refers to the bun, which means that the hat has not been invented, and the "crown ceremony" has been an important part of the daily life etiquette of adult men as early as the Zhou Dynasty in China. It can be seen that the history of Japanese civilization is almost 1000 years later than that of China. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Yu Qian and Chen Shou described Japan in Historical Records, calling it "bad Matai" at that time, and categorically recorded that the bad Matai country was ruled by Empress Jimeizi. Neither Yu Qian nor Chen Shou has been to Japan, but according to historical data and textual research of antiquities, later generations found that it was not a fabrication. Some similar proofs can be found in today's Japan, but it seems that Japan was still in the stage of brutal struggle between tribes at that time, and the source is unknown. In a word, when the Chinese were sitting in the golden hall in purple robes and jade belts, the Japanese had just got rid of the primitive state of foraging around naked. After Wei and Jin Dynasties, hundreds of years passed, and Japanese talents gradually became human beings through the continuous infiltration of mainland culture. In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Japan's contacts with China and the Korean Peninsula became more and more frequent. A large number of envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty made Japan's political, economic and social life develop rapidly, and soon became an indispensable member of China's cultural circle, which had a great momentum of catching up with the countries belonging to the Tang Dynasty, such as Bohai, Silla and Baekje. After sixteen years in Japan, when the famous "Wu Shen of Japan"-Ma Lu of Hanano Tamura was recorded as a descendant of Emperor Han Ling and was named the second "General of Foreign Expedition", Japan had already tasted the great benefits brought by China culture. Before Lu Ao's Xiayi was pacified in Sakazaki, the Japanese knew little about areas outside Feng Jingen and had no actual rule and control at all. It can be said that it was the China people who immigrated to Japan in order to avoid chaos in the late Han Dynasty and Wei and Jin Dynasties that helped the ancestors of modern Japanese really enter the "civilized era". From Sakamoto's Heian period (about 8th century to12nd century) to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's "Antu-Taoshan era" (about 1970s from16th century to17th century), the mainstream of Japanese culture was almost completely under the influence of China culture, and it was closely related to politics, politics, system and so on. In other words, the whole Japanese ancient history is almost a history of learning from China. Of course, after China culture spread from the mainland to Japan, after thousands of years of accumulation and sublation, it is no longer the original China goods, but has joined the unique "island thinking" elements of the Japanese. During the Edo shogunate period after Anshi, Japanese culture with independent personality gradually formed and consolidated, and became the most dynamic branch of China traditional culture. Although the European civilization represented by "Lan Xue" once became a highly sought-after foreign cultural fashion, the mainstream of "Three Hundred Years of Edo" is still the traditional Sinology. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan, which left Asia and entered Europe, came from behind and gradually became the largest power in Asia. In many ways, it has become the research object of modern China people. More than 300 years later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's ambition of invading Korea and occupying China was put into action again. Of course, the outcome is failure. /kloc-for more than 0/00 years, the feud between China and Japan has been constantly cut and confused, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, and it is rarely clear. In modern China, most people thought that Japan had been a student of China for thousands of years, and only in modern times did it gradually surpass China in some fields. However, it seems that Japan is far from being China's teacher-or the Japanese simply don't deserve it! Whether this statement is correct or not, China people are not as good as the Japanese in mutual understanding. In terms of the effective inheritance of traditional culture, in many aspects, Japan seems to have retained more substantive content than China. According to Mr. Ren Yongwen, "In modern times, China people have the impression of' clinging to Japan',' pro-Japan',' fearing Japan' and' hating Japan', but few people really know Japan." Today, Mr. Ren's words still make sense from a certain angle. If we want to maintain China's position as the "master of Taoism" and the patriarch, and ensure that China will no longer suffer from the century-long fatigue since the late Qing Dynasty, we must know and understand this student more clearly, and know what we have lost and what the Japanese have learned in China.
