In 2020, when the epidemic in Wuhan was coming in full swing, the Japanese saying "Mountains and rivers are different, and the wind and moon are the same" moved the Chinese people. While we are grateful, we are also grateful to the self-media. It is the self-media that allows us to truly see and feel the almost indiscriminate love and humanity!
These two lines of poetry are poems by the royal family of Nara in Japan Nagao Wang . The four sentences of the original jade:
Mountains and rivers, the wind and moon are the same, the moon is the same, and the Buddha's sons are sent to each other, and we are together.
The king of the Nara period, is the royal family and minister of the royal family of the Nara era. Emperor Tianzhi and his nephew are the grandson of Emperor Tianwu , the eldest son of Prince Takashi, and his wife is Prince Yoshibene and the granddaughter of Emperor Tianwu. The two left ministers of Nagaya King Zhizheng were heavyweights with royal blood in Japanese politics at that time. Due to the conspiracy of the opposing Fujiwara clan, Nagaya committed suicide in Nagaya King's Change .
The king of the Nagaya worshiped the Buddha devoutly and sent someone to make a thousand robes to give to the Great Tang monks who came to Japan to preach the Dharma. This poem is embroidered on each robes. It is said that Master Jianzhen was inspired by this poem and worked hard to travel to Japan.
It seems that all Japanese have become Bodhisattvas! We can't help but wonder what made that strong, narrow nationalism so gentle, humble and peaceful today? What kind of past and existence is a nation that can chant and kill?
Many people say that they met Japan from island love action movies. It seems that they don’t make such jokes, which is not enough to express their extensive knowledge. However, this is much better than learning about Japan from the anti-Japanese drama. I still say with ashamed that the next period of history I want to talk about is also a complete anti-Japanese drama.
In the seventh century AD, the prosperous era of the early Tang Dynasty, the country was prosperous, and the power of the world was powerful and all nations came to pay tribute. At that time, Japan ( Japan ) feared our country's power and admired our country's name. It sent a delegation of Tang to study the culture of the Tang Dynasty and educate the people of the island. The Tang envoys were sent to the Tang Dynasty with great respect and integrity! What a perfect story about a father who is kind and a son who is filial, a brother who is kind and a brother who is virtuous! This G-spot made the Chinese people talk about it with relish, and they have been excited and excited from the Tang Dynasty to their circle of friends. It also made the Tang Dynasty a fantasy era that the Chinese people miss and yearn for infinitely.
The perfect story must be suspected of pretentiousness.
"The sun comes from the emperor to write a letter on the day I don't know where the emperor is safe." This is a record of " Zizhi Tongjian " Volume 181, Sui Jiwu, and the fourth year of Emperor Yang's Daye (608 AD). Prince Shengde of the Japanese Kingdom wrote a letter to Emperor Yang of Sui to call the Japanese monarch the "Emperor at the Sun" and the Emperor of Sui 's "Emperor at the Sun". How did such a arrogant Japanese country fall under the elegant and elegant robe of the Tang Dynasty?
Surrender requires reasons; surrender is a process, a process of verification. No one will recognize you as your elder brother just because of the beeswax ring you pointed at or the large tattoo on your arms.
The task of sending Tang envoy may be "not what you imagined". In the early period (before 660 AD), that is, in the early Tang Dynasty, it is generally understood that the Tang envoys were sent to learn the Tang system, that's right, but this is just one of them. On the other hand, it mediates with Tang Dynasty to maintain and compete for interests on the Korean Peninsula and promote the right to speak in the Japanese system on the Korean Peninsula. To put it simply, it means learning your advanced experience as a student; then using a diplomat (including spy) to explore your strength and attitude towards the peninsula, protecting, coordinating, and competing for vested interests (mainly the Korean Peninsula).
There is a strange phenomenon in history. Once Japan is strong, war will surely ignite on the Korean Peninsula.
In the Zhenguan era, the Tang Dynasty fought against the west and Emperor Taizong of Tang fought against the two fronts with Goguryeo and Turkic , which violated the taboo of military strategists. His last expedition to Goguryeo failed shortly after his last expedition, and he died with hatred. The Eastern Expedition was put on hold indefinitely.
New Lord Li Zhi ascended the throne, the front court and harem of the Tang Dynasty began a bloody power competition, and the imperial power won in the end. The powerful ministers and important officials of the court were demoted, and the people were killed. The Tang clan class was bloody and the national strength was sharply reduced for a while.
This was seen by the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and I was in no time... I saw the opportunity, including Goguryeo and Bayje on the peninsula.
Silla , a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. The first thing that was pushed to the knife must be it. Goguryeo gathered the coalition forces of Baekje and Marine, and quickly captured more than 30 cities in Silla. In 655 AD, Silla filed a complaint with Brother Tang and asked for assistance. The Tang Dynasty was the arbitrator of the world, and Emperor Gaozong issued an edict to persuade peace. Goguryeo doesn’t even take your father Li Shimin seriously, what are you!
Li Zhi is also considered to be a polite first and then a soldier. Let's fight. In 660 AD, Tang sent the general of the left guard, Su Dingfang, and others to lead their troops to attack and attack. Su Dingfang did not directly rescue Silla, but instead concentrated his efforts to attack Goguryeo's accomplice Baekje. Tang Army crossed the sea from Chengshan (now Rongcheng, Shandong), defeated the Baekje Army in Xiongjinkou, and defeated Zhendu City, destroying the main force of the Baekje Army.
Japan, Ancient name of Japan. "Yamato" is pronounced in Japanese, just like "Yamato" as "yamato". During the Three Kingdoms period, the Wei Kingdom . Emperor . Cao Rui . He once conferred the title of the monarch of Japan at that time as the pro-Wei King. Until the second half of the 7th century, Japan revised its foreign name to Japan. During the Emperor of Yuan and Ming dynasties, it was stipulated that the character "he" was replaced by the character "White", and the character "da" was attached to the beginning, and it was called "Yahe".
Silla (57-935 BC), one of the countries in the history of the Korean Peninsula, its parent body is Chenhan, among the three Koreans, and its capital is located in Jincheng. Jinsong is now Gyeongju City, North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea). In 935, Silla surrendered to Goryeo and the country was destroyed.
Bayje , a country established by the Fuyu people (3rd century BC) southward in the southwest of the Korean Peninsula (now South Korea). It has eight major clans: Sha clan, Yan clan, Ji clan (pronunciation Xie, xié), Jie clan, Zhen clan, Guo clan, Mu clan, and Xi clan. The ruling class of Baekje is the Fuyu people, which is different from the lower Korean people. The Korean in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula is another ethnic group different from the Fuyu people.
Baoji King Fuyu Yici and Prince Fuyu Longcang fled into the small town of Beibi and were surrounded by the Tang army. The second son of King Baekje, Fuyutai, took advantage of his father and brother's escape and proclaimed himself king, leading his people to defend Baekje City.
The legitimate grandson of King Baekje and the son of Prince Fuyulong Fuyulong: "The king and the prince are here, and Uncle Wang proclaims himself king. Even if the Tang soldiers retreat, my father and son will be killed by Uncle Wang!" Fuyu Wensi was anxious and led his left and right to escape from the city. Seeing that the king's grandson was like this, people in the city followed one after another. Fuyutai couldn't stop killing several people in a row, but he had no choice but to surrender, and Baekje was destroyed. The Prince of Baekje and the Prince were also quickly captured and taken to Chang'an.
On the peninsula, Goryeo, Baekje and Silla are known as the three Koreans, with Goryeo the most powerful. Baekje is dependent on Japan, which is across the sea, and Silla surrenders to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, no one can eat anyone in a three-legged position.
Baekje prince Fuyu Fengzhang led the remnants to Japan...
Tang Dynasty established five governor's offices, including Xiongjin, Mahan , and selected their chief to govern.
Tang Dynasty ( Xue Rengui ) continued to conquer Goguryeo...
The real power of Japan is in the hands of the eldest brother, the eldest brother, the regent prince. He won in a bloody storm and reached the peak of power.
Suwoshi is the most powerful family from the ancient tomb era of the Japanese tomb tomb era to the ascension era. The eldest brother prince in planned and carried out the action from assassination to the extermination of Suwo family, becoming the biggest beneficiary. Instead of being the emperor, he asked his mother, the abdicated emperor, to succeed to the throne for the second time, and to become the crown prince himself. The eldest brother prince in
is a very smart and persistent person! His appearance was a bit grand.
Japan is backward in politics and economy and falls into trouble. The eldest brother of the Zhongda brother successfully carried out a change, which is known as the "Dahua Reform" in Japan in history. And moved the capital from Asuka to Namba (now Osaka ). The proud and fulfilled Zhong Lao brother felt the coldness of the heights, and suddenly remembered the "great achievements" of the Emperor's Divine Trouble...
Human beings are very stupid species, and they often regard worshiping tyrants as their virtue.
The arrival of Baekje prince Fuyu Fengzhang made the eldest brother prince happy and the opportunity to intervene in Sanhan. He believes this is a good opportunity for Japan to restore its position on the Korean Peninsula.
The eldest brother prince lobbied Emperor Qi Ming (mother) to send troops. The ambition of 66-year-old Emperor Qi Ming was ignited and he began to plan to annex North Korea. The first step was to support Baekje to restore the country first. Fuyu Fengzhang was sent back to Baekje...
Zhongzhong's eldest brother and Emperor Qiming personally led the army to command the war in Jiuzhou.
Fight for national strength in war. What we are competing for is: economy, science and technology and talent.
The Tang Dynasty was after the "Zhenguan Reign", and the two saints of Emperor Gaozong and Wuhou were the final decisions of everything. Yayayayaya... Look at the supreme commanders of both sides, wow - this is actually a war between two women!
Everyone has the same aesthetic
The Tang Dynasty has solved the Turks and Gaochang, and is at the heyday of national strength. It was the most powerful country in the world at that time. However, these Japanese people have no idea.
However, unfortunately, the fight has not started yet. On August 24, 661, the elderly Emperor Qiming could not withstand the long-distance journey and died of illness on his own journey.
The death of the emperor + mother did not terminate the process of the "great" foundation of the eldest brother prince. He sent more than 80% of Japan's army, and basically all those who can hold the hilt of the knife were sent out.
From August 27 to August 28, 663, the Japanese and Baekje coalition forces entered the Baijiangkou (the mouth of the Baicun River, now the mouth of the Jinjiangkou, South Korea) with great courage, preparing to fight the Tang army to the death.
Military force data invested by all parties:
Tang army 13,000 people More than 170 warships
Japanese army 42,000 warships
Silla army 5,000 people
Silla army 5,000 people
Baekje army 5,000 people
Such a huge gap in military strength comparison, Zhongda brother is full of confidence. He really doesn't understand that fighting is not a pyramid scheme, it's up to the countenance of people. Japan has just implemented the " Dahua and " and is still in a semi-civilized state. The army is a mob temporarily merged by the wealthy families from all over the country to challenge the well-equipped and well-trained regular army-
four words: hit the stone with an egg.
two words: It’s so fussy!
It's like your county's football team is going to play in the World Cup, or directly challenge France, Argentina . Whether it is "hitting the stone with eggs" or "making trouble", we are all conceptualized. Let's look at the stone with eggs.
Let’s take a look at the equipment and quality of the Tang Dynasty army.
" New Tang Book " records that Tang Dynasty basic configuration
organizational structure:
Tang army soldiers form ten people, five fires form a team, and six teams form a regiment. Each fire will be equipped with six pack horses. It is also equipped with two pieces of cloth curtain, horse bowl, shovel, chisel, basket, axe, tongs, armor bed, etc., one piece of pot, fire drill, salt bag, pestle, etc., and three pieces of horse reins.
Fire drill is more arson tool than a fire making tool. Fire drill is a fire attack weapon. It pours oil on the fire drill bit, ignites the fire drill bit, swings the arms with a hemp tail, and flies directly to the enemy's position, which is equivalent to grenade .
pounding is a tool for pounding rice and . Some military rations may not be peeled.
Soldiers' portable weapons:
people have one bow, thirty arrows, a kind of arrow bag called Hu Lu, and a horizontal knife. Later, the Japanese army arranged this way, and now there are complete samples.
Logistics equipment:
One piece of whetstone, felt hat, felt, and suitcase.
Food supply:
Everyone brings nine dou of wheat rice and two dou of rice. Unified transportation.
Dress configuration:
Officers wear Mingguang armor , cavalry's body, legs and arms are equipped with iron armor, and spears.
Tang Mingguangjia
No nonsense, above picture.
Just imagine, what is the scene of the Tang army soldiers wearing this Mingguang Armor confronting the Japanese army commander in the picture below? The Tang army is a heavenly soldier and general, and did the Japanese army come from Huaguo Mountain?
In the era of cold weapons, the equipment of the Tang army's individual soldiers was indeed excellent. However, in naval battles, warships are crucial. The warships of the Tang Dynasty were the famous -floor ships , gantry and in the history of naval warfare. The names are scary. Later, some people did say that the Japanese army was just frightened. Otherwise, if there are more than 40,000 people, you will have to kill them for 10 days and 8 days.
What is the divine beast
Floor Boat is generally divided into three layers, the first layer is the hu; the second layer is the Feilu; and the uppermost layer is the Jue Room. Each floor is equipped with a female protective wall to defend against bows and arrows and arrows shot by the enemy. There are arrows on the female wall to shoot crossbows. To defend against enemy fire attacks, the ship is covered with leather for insulation. Flags and guns are often inserted on the building boats to enhance their momentum, and a variety of equipment such as ropes, oars, sails and oars are used to improve their functions. Can accommodate 800-1200 soldiers.
Travel Offensive speedboat. The hull is two layers, narrow and long, and can carry 80-150 armored soldiers. Fast speed, strong maneuverability and strong aggressiveness. It is the main ship of the navy. This ship "covered the ship with raw cow skin, with a lever hole opening on both sides, and a crossbow window and spear hole in the left and right front and back. The enemy cannot advance, and the arrows and stones cannot defeat it."
海6海 light warship, with a low bow and a raised tail, wide in front and narrow in the back; floating plates are installed on both sides, like falcon wings, which increase stability and wave resistance. It is known in history that "although the wind and waves rise, there is no tilt." The cabin is covered with raw cowhide into a wall, which can prevent fire attack. A half-person-high female wall is also added to the cowhide wall, with crossbow windows and ship holes on it for attack. It can carry 108 armored soldiers.
Japanese warships, history records more than 1,000 Japanese troops, with a length of 20 meters and a width of 7 meters. Each ship can carry sixty soldiers. According to the comprehensive analysis of data from all parties, the size and data of the Japanese warships are relatively credible, with the number not exceeding 800, and about 700 should be reliable data. The so-called 1,000 ships are nothing more than "professional" to intimidate the enemy.
floor ship is equivalent to the "aircraft carrier" in the 7th century; the ferry is equivalent to the speedboat; the sea falcon is equivalent to the submarine . In comparison, the Japanese warships were comparable to fishing boats.
This battle cannot be fought.
Tang Army Commander Liu Rengui
Battle at Baijiangkou , Liu Rengui is a person who cannot be beaten.
When Liu Rengui was appointed as the chief of the procuratorate, he learned that he would be sent to Liaodong , so he invited the almanac issued by the court and the names of emperors of all dynasties. Someone asked why this was. Liu Rengui replied: "I will pacify Liaodong, promulgate the righteousness of the Tang Dynasty, and let the local barbarians obey it."
This is not a god at all, but he is very clear about the gap between the strength of the Tang Dynasty and the neighboring countries. Therefore, he handled peninsula affairs with a master's mentality rather than a conqueror's mentality, laying the foundation for long-term governance.
Liu Rengui commanded according to the law and did not underestimate the enemy. I won’t talk about the details of tearing the Japanese with my hands. This battle lasted for two days, four battles, and all won. If an adult beats a child or hits someone else's child, he will take a ruthless move.
Finally, Tang supported Silla to unify the Korean Peninsula, laying the foundation for the political, economic and cultural structure of the Northeast Asia region for more than a thousand years. This is a favorite summary of Chinese historical materials. The eldest brother prince’s dream of a great power in
was shattered.He was afraid that the Tang army would pursue the local area, so he moved the capital from Namba (Osaka) to Otsu (now Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture). He succeeded to the throne here, and was the Emperor . In order to prevent the Tang Dynasty's achievements, he built fortifications in the Dazaifu (the management agency of Jiuzhou), called the Water City, and stationed sailors; he also built a mountain city near the capital to facilitate escape. Emperor Tianzhi's old age was spent in the infinite fear of the Tang Dynasty...
Emperor Tianzhi was the grandfather, grandfather, grandfather, grandfather of the Nagaya king who wrote "Mountains and rivers are different, wind and moon are the same" . Don't be surprised, the ethics of the Japanese are different from those of the Chinese, especially the royal family. Their artistic works have cultural genes for various emotional entanglements.
Tang army did not pursue it. In fact, from the Han and Tang Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they had never had any interest in Japan. Emperor Tianzhi sent Tang envoys to seek peace, and Tang Dynasty gave diplomatic etiquette reception. When the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, Emperor Tianzhi also sent an envoy to congratulate the Tang Dynasty. Diplomatic diplomatic relations between the two countries are gradually becoming normalized in awkward and embarrassing manner.
The Battle of Baijiangkou, Japan suffered a devastating blow. Emperor Tianzhi and his country fully understood the unshakable status of the Tang Dynasty. Incredibly, Japan has gained a new life in this Nirvana. From then on, Japan moved to Japan, from the Dwarf to the Sunrise Country!
Japan means the country of sunrise.
"Japan" name is used, and there is no record in Japanese history books.
"New Book of Tang": "In the first year of Xianheng (670 AD), he sent an envoy to celebrate Goryeo. Later, he learned about Xiayin and hated the name of Japanese, and changed his name to Japan. The envoy said that he had been published recently, and he took it as a name." It means that in the first year of Xianheng dynasty (670 AD), the Japanese sent an envoy to congratulate the Tang Dynasty for pacifying Goguryo. Because he knew a little Chinese, he hated the name "Wa", so he changed the country's name to Japan. The envoy claimed that this was named because it was close to the sunrise.
Korean " Records of the Grand Historian of the Three Kingdoms " December record of the tenth year of King Wenwu (670 AD): "Water has been renamed Japan, saying that he has recently published it in his name."
Zhang Shoujie, a native of the Tang Dynasty: "Empress Wu changed Japan to Japan ".
The earliest archaeological discovery of the name "Japan" was unearthed in Xi'an in 2011 AD. The epitaph was created in 678 AD.
In 671 AD, Emperor Tianzhi died suddenly. Some Japanese scholars believe that he died of murder.
Next, Japan enters the next round of civil strife for the highest power. The reforms were accelerated in China, and the emperors of the Nara era were actively moving towards the Tang Dynasty and learning the advanced culture and technology of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty also showed enough demeanor to a great power. Both countries, both official and civilian, have opened their minds... Only then did Jianzhen go east to , Abe Nakama Lu Liu Tang...
At this point, the friendship between Japan and the Tang Dynasty is no longer a military surrender, but an identification with science and technology culture. Later, the Anshi Rebellion, the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty rebelled and quarreled, and the Buddha's country Tubo even twice attacked Chang'an to burn, kill and rob... Until the demise of the Tang Dynasty, Japan did not rebel against the Tang Dynasty.
Japan inherited and developed Tang culture and integrated itself to grow into an independent system. Japan's remembrance of the Tang Dynasty is no less than that of China. Some customs that decline in China are still popular in Japan today. Drinking Tusu wine in the New Year, singing on the Chinese New Year's Day, watching the bull actress on the Chinese Valentine's Day, climbing the high place on the Double Ninth Festival enjoying chrysanthemums , etc...
Watch the Tang Dynasty, you must go to Japan.
