Why do many people always think that Japanese culture comes from China?

Because many people from China immigrated to Japan in ancient times, their cultural customs had a certain influence on Japan. In addition, during the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent envoys to learn from the East many times, which had a great influence on Japan's social system and culture.

Many people subconsciously think that Japanese culture is deeply influenced by ancient China, which makes sense. First of all, Japan belongs to an island country. In ancient times, most of Japan's population were immigrants, and China also immigrated to Japan in ancient times. After these people went to Japan, they also brought China's ancient advanced technology to Japan. In addition, such as customs, lifestyles, manners and etiquette.

In the middle of the third century, Japan was unified and in the stage of social stability. So many East Asians moved to Japan, most of them from China. At this time, China's life skills are very mature, far more advanced than Japan's, so the advanced experience brought by China people has aroused the interest of the Japanese royal family. After detailed study and understanding, Japan not only further improved its political system, but also greatly improved its social productivity.

Later, Jian Zhen, a well-known monk, came to study in the Tang Dynasty. After Jian Zhen returned to Japan, the Japanese royal family at that time used Buddhist culture to consolidate their position and controlled Baixin ideologically. In addition, for example, the land distribution system and the household registration system were all learned from the Tang Dynasty at that time.

From the 6th century to the 8th century, cultural exchanges between Japan and China were particularly frequent, and Japan was deeply influenced by China culture at that time. Although Japanese was greatly influenced by China's ancient culture, it also formed its own unique culture. Many cultural customs learned from other places will become different in Japan.

In modern times, Japan learned from the western system, quickly completed the reform, and its scientific and technological strength developed rapidly, becoming a world power at that time and challenging China. It can be seen that Japan's learning ability is very strong, and they are good at making themselves stronger through learning.
