The influence of foreign culture on the Tang Dynasty in China (preferably with pictures)

Indian astronomy, mathematics, music, dance, architectural art, sugar making, etc. It has a very obvious impact on China. China's grotto art, stupa architecture and Buddhist art are masterpieces directly influenced by Indian Buddhist culture. At the same time, China's influence on Indian culture is various, such as philosophy, science and technology. In a word, the exchange and dissemination of ancient Chinese and Indian cultures cannot be separated from frequent trade exchanges between the two countries.

2。 Japan

During the 200 years after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese sent envoys of the Tang Dynasty to China *** 13 times, accompanied by many overseas students, the most famous of whom was Abe Zhongmalu. Jian Zhen was the most influential envoy and monk in Japan in Tang Dynasty. Ma Lu Abe has lived in China for a long time. He forged a profound friendship with the poets Wang Wei and Li Bai at that time, and made important contributions to the cultural exchange between China and Japan and the friendship between the two peoples. In order to establish the friendship and exchange culture between Chinese and Japanese people, Jian Zhen risked his life to cross the East for six times and made outstanding contributions to Japanese architecture, medicine and art. A large number of coins unearthed from the other country can prove that the culture of the Tang Dynasty had a far-reaching impact on Japanese urban architecture, literature and art, lifestyle and holiday customs.

3。 Persia

The religion in Iran and Central Asia is Zoroastrianism, which is said to have been created by Zoroaster, and its teachings are preserved in Persian classics. It is believed that there are two opposing origins in the world: one is goodness, which incarnates as god of light; The other is evil, incarnating as the god of darkness, and fire is the representative of good and light, so the main ceremony is to worship the "flame". During the reign of Darius I at the end of 6th century BC, it was once designated as the state religion of the Persian Empire. China is a descendant of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty (the first half of the 7th century), a temple called Zoroastrianism, Zoroastrianism or Persian Seal was built in Chang 'an. Zoroastrian cultural relics and religious books have been found in China, Dunhuang, Xinjiang, and Persian silver coins have been unearthed in many areas. Therefore, Persian culture spread rapidly in China. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were "Hudian" and Persian House, also known as "Hudi", which sold ivory, rhinoceros horn, spices and jewelry from West Asia and Africa (Persians are famous for their good identification of jewelry). At the same time, China's silk, porcelain and tea flooded the Baghdad market. The southeast coast of China is a busy scene of international trade. Guangzhou, Yangzhou and Fuzhou are all foreign trade ports, and businessmen from all over the world come in droves, and guests are like stones, especially big eaters and Persians.

4。 Korea

Koguryo, as a country that has long been annihilated in history, most of its territory is located on the territory of today's China. It was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty in China. In the Tang Dynasty, China's social productive forces and economy were extremely developed. At that time, many foreign envoys and immigrants tried to stay in China instead of returning home. Koguryo's subjects have no attachment after their national subjugation, and naturally they have to rush to places with good living conditions. Just like Koreans in China today, they try their best to go to South Korea, but no one wants to go to Korea, which is also a compatriot. Coupled with the forced immigration and assimilation policies of the Tang government, most of its followers eventually joined China. A large number of Koguryo immigrants also moved to the Korean peninsula. Koguryo history should actually be inherited by China and South Korea.
