When did the cultural exchange between Japan and China begin?

In the third century BC, Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to lead 500 boys and girls to Japan.

Chui fook's visit to Japan is gone forever, and there are many legends in Japan.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Japan sent envoys, overseas students and monks to study and visit China many times, bringing back China's advanced culture and Buddhism to Japan.

Wang Wei (70 1-76 1, a famous poet and painter in Tang Dynasty)

(Send Minister Chao Jian back to Japan) There is no shortage of water, and Haidong will meet the sea. Where is Kyushu? For example, Wan Li flies to the countryside to watch the sun, but returns to sail but believes in the wind. The Austrian god is reflected in the darkness, the fish's eyes are shining outside the hibiscus tree, and the owner is on an isolated island and leaves a foreign land. The news is that there is a connection.

(Note) Secretary Chaojian is a Japanese student studying in China, Abe Nakamaru. He served as a secretary supervisor in the Tang Dynasty, and was named Chao. Wang Wei's poems express his deep friendship with Japanese friends. Ma Lu in Abe (70 1-770 Japanese students studying in China, officials in Tang Dynasty).

The imperial edict will resign the country, not treat the minister. In heaven, I love saints; overseas, I remember my kindness.

Father que, extended to Penglai township road, if the wood is too beautiful.

Look west, endure the sun, and the East returns to a sense of justice.

A sword in life is reserved for making friends.

(Note) This is a poem written by Ma Lu in Abe in return for Wang Wei, saying that his friendship with China poets will last forever.

History witnessed that Japanese student Abe Ma Zhonglu arrived in China in 7 16 AD, became an official in the Tang Dynasty, and died in Chang 'an, China in 770 AD.

Jian Zhen (688-763 AD)

Master Jian Zhen traveled to Japan seven times. Jian Zhen, born in 688 AD, is a famous monk in China. At that time, Japanese students begged him to teach precepts in Japan. He didn't hesitate. He went to the east six times before and after, and his eyes were blind because of suffering. Eight years later, he finally came to Japan in 754 AD and made great contributions to the history of cultural exchanges between Japan and China. In his later years, he lived in Tangzhaoti Temple in Japan and died in 763 AD.

When the Tang and Zhao Temple was first built, Kejsarinnan Koken, a Japanese, personally wrote the threshold. All the calligraphy was in Tang style and was called the police by later generations.

1 127- 1279, Japan changed its closed-door policy, and trade between China and Japan was frequent. Japan exported copper, sulfur, gold, fans and lacquerware to China, and imported copper coins, yarns, raw silk and silks and satins from China, all of which were in the form of tribute, so Japan gained huge profits.

At this time, China's architecture, block printing, ink painting and the habit of drinking tea also spread to Japan.

From14th century to16th century, Japanese pirates invaded the coast of China, plundered property savagely, killed countless people and committed many evils. Qi Jiguang and Yu Dajue, the generals of the Ming Dynasty, fought bravely and put down the chaos of the enemy for nearly two centuries. The ancient city of Chongwu in Fujian had fortifications to defend against the Japanese pirates.

1685 emperor Kangxi of the Qing dynasty ordered the opening of trade with Japan.

Japan published Zheng Dexin Commercial Law, which restricted the number and trade amount of China merchant ships entering Japanese ports and implemented credit card trade until the middle of19th century.
