Why didn't the Tang Dynasty take away its own core technology and recruit overseas students extensively?

During the Tang Dynasty, students were widely accepted in China. However, at that time, the Tang Dynasty not only made no loss, but also made a lot of money every year. It is precisely because of the tolerance and openness of the Tang Dynasty that we have been recognized all over the world, and we are still called "Tangren" by foreigners in the world. How did the Tang Dynasty work? Let's dream back to Datang and see the style of Datang at that time!

The famous Abe Lu

If you can really cross and return to Chang 'an Avenue, you will have a kind of return …

Because on Chang 'an Avenue, there are various races shuttling back and forth. There are whites, blacks, Koreans, Japanese, Nanyang people, Westerners and so on.

Even today, Japan proudly claims that their ancient culture came from the Han and Tang Dynasties and their new culture came from Britain in Europe.

That's what the Japanese do. They never consider it a shame to learn from the strong.

In the Tang Dynasty, the number of international students from Asian countries was the largest.

Akihito Nakajima, a famous Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty, is one of them. He also became a big official in the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, the Tang dynasty could receive about 8000 to 1000 international students a year.

Foreigners who can come to study in the Tang Dynasty, whether from Japan and South Korea, Baekje, Silla, Gaochang, Tubo, Cambodia, Annan, Nepal, Myanmar, , Persia, India, Sri Lanka and other countries, are all nobles or senior monks, and they are all high-quality talents themselves.

Because of the high cost of going abroad at that time, these social elites and royal children from all over the world came to Datang.

Not only effectively promoted cultural exchanges, but also achieved friendly diplomacy through these.

To a group of scum and a group of social elites. ...

Let's take a look at Japan's ancient buildings, royal costumes and living habits, and the words used in important places and documents, which are still from the Han and Tang Dynasties.

After the Yashan incident, Japanese attitude towards China changed.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the most important thing Japan did was to leave Asia and enter Europe, and strive to get rid of the entanglement of Confucian culture from the heart and achieve rapid rise.

For the Tang dynasty, accepting foreign students and teaching them advanced technology did not suffer, but took a great advantage.

Foreign Students' Diplomacy in Tang Dynasty

By sending overseas students, the whole of Asia and even European countries were deeply influenced by the Tang Dynasty. Datang realized the "three noes":

(1) Territory has no borders:

It means that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was called "Tiankhan" by the grassland people and admitted that Datang was their clan country.

Tang Priest, a monk, can enjoy the highest courtesy of so many countries only because the Tang Dynasty stands behind him.

② Culture has no borders:

In other words, Datang accepted all foreign cultures and realized real cultural integration.

Look at the paintings in Dunhuang culture. How many overseas elements are there?

In the Tang dynasty, Confucianism was ignored, Buddhism and Taoism were the mainstream, so it had little constraint on people.

Look at the costumes of women in the Tang Dynasty. Are they very open and sexy? It was decided by the times that the Tang Dynasty could produce a female emperor like Wu Zetian. Can this be put in the Ming Dynasty?

Because the Ming Dynasty respected Neo-Confucianism and regarded women as accessories of men, even ...

It is this openness and tolerance that has influenced the world.

(3) National boundaries:

An Lushan and Abe Zhongmalu are both officials of ethnic minorities.

Moreover, they are not individual cases, but common phenomena.

How confident does it take for a country's core departments to be led by foreigners? ...

Through studying abroad, doing business and becoming a monk, the Tang Dynasty succeeded in psychologically conquering the whole of Asia and even other countries in the world, thus achieving the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
