A thousand years ago, Chang 'an was an international metropolis. What foreign friends visited during the Tang Dynasty?

At that time, there were westerners, some Arabs and Persians who liked to settle in Chang 'an, and some neighboring countries, such as Viet Nam and North Korea, were also influenced by China culture. They also came to Chang 'an one after another, some of them traveled and studied, some of them settled in Chang 'an directly, so Chang 'an was a world-class international city at that time.

As many people know, Xi is not only the capital of the Tang Dynasty, but also a world-class international metropolis. Why do you say that? Chang 'an was very commercialized at that time. Many foreigners came to Chang 'an at that time, such as Persians, Arabs and some conference semifinals. They all like Chang 'an very much, and some people even come here to settle down, not just for traveling and studying. Because Chang 'an was a very open city at that time, they were also very welcome to live here for a long time. This period can be said to be the most prosperous and open dynasty in history. Chang 'an is like Shanghai today.

Although many people now think that people from the western regions can't be called foreigners like conference semifinals, after all, many of them are our close neighbors, such as people from the western regions, that is, Uighurs and Tatars, but at that time, these people already belonged to foreigners or some vassal countries. They came to Chang 'an to learn the local Central Plains culture, and at the same time brought these advanced civilizations into their own country's development. At that time, the Japanese also liked the Tang Dynasty very much. They not only admired its military strength, but also came to study in the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, there were Koreans at that time, that is, the current generation of North Korea and South Korea, who also entered Chang 'an through the northeast. Like South Korea and even North Korea, their culture has also been influenced by China's culture, so Chang 'an in the Tang Dynasty is a city with great influence in the world and a diversified melting pot. Although there are many immigrants, they are mainly from the Central Plains culture, and many immigrants are gradually assimilated by the local people. After all, it was still that time.
