Why did Shoto Kutaishi send a special envoy to China?

It can be inferred from the relevant records in Shoto Kutaishi and China that was the messenger who introduced Japanese knowledge and art and sent overseas students and monks to China.

But in the records of the two countries, Shoto Kutaishi's name did not appear. According to Dr. Kumi Bangwu, Adolese is a man's name. Therefore, at first, Shoto Kutaishi sent a special envoy in his own name, and then the ancient emperor officially sent a special envoy.

Therefore, the eight-year envoy of Emperor Toshiya may have been omitted in Japanese history. From this point of view, it is more logical than the statement that the facts were repeatedly recorded due to mistakes in the fifteenth year of Emperor Tu Shuo.

In short, after that, China culture, which had been introduced indirectly through the Korean Peninsula, began to be introduced directly into Japan by sending envoys. I'm afraid the Sino-Japanese route in that era was from Jingren, Zhuzi to Baekje, and then from Baekje along the coastline to Shandongjiao. There were two traffic routes between China and Japan in ancient times: the southern line and the northern line.

The southern line is from Kyushu Westbound Airlines to the Yangtze River estuary. The northern line sailed northward along the Korean Peninsula, crossed the Bohai Bay and landed on the Shandong Peninsula. "Continued Japanese History" calls the southern line South Road and writes the northern line North Road. The sea route during the period of Emperor Tuguhun should have chosen the northern route.

The trade winds of China Sea go north from April to September, and go south in 10. If we take advantage of this trade trend, the communication between China and Japan will be easier. Know that this is a matter for future generations. People didn't know this at first, so they followed the sea route from North Korea to China. In that distant and forgotten era, there must be a direct route across the Yellow Sea from central China to Japan.

But people at that time have forgotten this route in history. People chose the northern line instead of the southern line. This understanding is more appropriate. Today, Pei, the envoy of Sui Dynasty, arrived in Zhusi via Tubo and Yizhou, and arrived at the coast from Qin State of Japan via more than a dozen countries. Coast probably means difficult waves. This road will soon be the return road, which can be regarded as the traffic artery between China and Japan.

At that time, the original Ainu people or nationalities who migrated to the Japanese archipelago in prehistoric times either merged or perished or fled, and disappeared in the southwest, taking the northeast as the base and living a primitive hunting life. They mainly occupy the eastern slope of the ridge mountains in Honshu. However, the Tungusic people who moved to the northeast for the first time after the Ainu people moved south and their relatives who moved for the second time formed a mixed social group.

Many of them occupied their original places of residence and continued to live an economic life of fishing and hunting. Their base area is mainly the western slope of the ridge mountains. As far as the original Ainu people are concerned, since their ancestors moved here, they have been completely isolated because there are no successors. But the Tungusic people who migrated for the first time had a little successor every other year.

Although after a long history, these successors came here intermittently through this route across the Sea of Japan. In December of the fifth year of Emperor Qin Mingdi, the man of God Su took a boat to the bank of the Ministry of Water in Zuodu. They fish for food in spring and summer. The islanders called them "ghosts" and dared not approach this group of people.

Soon, this group of people began to plunder and moved to Sehepu. Most of them died because they were thirsty to drink the water from Sehepu. Bones piled up in the corner of the rock. According to Japanese records, people call it "Su Shenwei". It can be inferred from this record that a group of Tungusic people came to Zuodu by boat during the fishing season and began to plunder because of lack of food. The current in the Sea of Japan can easily send them to Sado.

Such migration has existed since ancient times. However, long-term geographical isolation has produced language differences and led to different customs. So the residents of Zuodu can't tell whether they are a race or not. Similar drifting or migration often happens, but because residents are afraid to get close, they have little contact with the state-owned and county departments, which is not recorded in history. But human bones are often found in caves along the coast of Japan.

These caves may be the places where the Sioux gods buried the dead. The caves found in Vietnamese ice and the caves in Han Dong Palace in Hokkaido belong to this kind of sites by their nature. The original Japanese mixed with other ethnic groups or maintained a relatively pure bloodline, but after years of vicissitudes, they finally formed a new Japanese.

Due to mixed blood, environment and other reasons, the new Tunguska people and the original Ainu people have changed in physique and culture. They are now approaching the Ainu people. In the eyes of the Japanese, they are aliens similar to ghosts and barbarians like monsters. Previous historians all thought it was Ainu when they talked about Xiayi. However, a strict examination of ancient records shows that Ainu people certainly include isolated Jilek people and warlocks in Tunguska.

For these ethnic groups in Northeast China, the policy of Yamato government is to gradually assimilate them by means of both coercion and appeasement. Conquering them by force appeared in the story of Chun Wu's conquest of Dongyi in Japan, and it was also recorded in Japanese history. It can be proved by conferring the title of "Enkh" on the chiefs and appeasing them with interests and reputation.

At first, they fought fiercely, but gradually lost their strength and began to yield. After the increase of such cases, the Yamato government mainly adopted the policy of appeasement. Even if we only look at the records that Xia Yi and Falcon in the first year of the Qin Dynasty belonged to the Yamato court, we can infer that the government's policy towards aliens is basically the same. Hayato people are immigrants from the south, living on islands near Satsuma and Dayu. They are the same race as the ancestors of Indonesians today, but their culture is very different from that of Japanese aborigines.

For a long time, wars between the two races have been frequent. Even if the prehistoric period ended and the historical period began, they still could not live in harmony with the Japanese and were regarded as inferior aliens. Some of them gradually declined in strength, finally surrendered to Yamato and became so-called "familiar people", and were moved to the inland areas of Gini to engage in specific occupations.

Needless to say, the centers where they live are Satsuma and Otsuka. Samak's falcon belongs to Chief Addo. Otsuka's falcon belongs to Otsuka Chief. They live a primitive social life. At that time, the imperial court implemented different policies towards them from other places. This is a policy that runs through the period of Asuka until the period of Lening and even heian period.

For a long time, the government has tried its best to assimilate this alien and racked its brains to rule them. It can be proved by the following legend: Emperor Jingxing conquered Satsuma and nationalized its chiefs, and gave them the name of "Rizuo", while Emperor Rende called them "Nao". Before submission and assimilation, the most active period of Hayabusa was Asuka's period.

At that time, they were still using their own language. We don't know the details of the Falcon Dictionary since the same period. But it is not impossible to leave two or three examples in ancient books. According to ancient records, Ayuki Otsuka Chief's surname is "Rizuo", and he wrote "translated surname" in his surname record, which is consistent with the meaning of "explanation" in Japanese Mandarin. Comparing this word with Malay, we can find that it is consistent with Bahasa, which means "explanation".

In addition, according to records, falcons called the sandbars in the sea "must enter". Obviously, this is consistent with the Malay pasir with the meaning of "sand". From these two words alone, we can see that Madekoji Falcon and Japanese have different languages and are not easily assimilated. At the same time, they repeatedly launched a rebellion. Seeing this, we can speculate that the government's intimidation of falcons is increasing year by year. Although most falcons have surrendered, some die-hards still take a confrontational attitude.

The great man who represented the period when Buddhist culture infiltrated into Japan was Shoto Kutaishi. Shoto Kutaishi's life was full of legends for most of his life. As a result, even people at that time were amazed and regarded him as the object of reverence and the focus of yearning. Without his guidance, the Asuka period might not have developed like that, and Japanese history might not have taken it as a turning point. Shoto Kutaishi is the second son of tomorrow's emperor. His mother is Ren Huang, the daughter of Qin Shihuang. Parents are half-brothers. ...
