Why is Japan also called Japan?

"Ying" refers to the islands in the East Sea, which is what ancient China called Japan.

The Japanese archipelago appeared after the fourth century, and it turned out to be many small tribes. In ancient Japanese mythology, the Japanese called it "eight continents" and "eight island countries". According to the records in Hanshu and Houhanshu, Japan was called "Japan" or "Japan" in ancient China.

China had a great influence on Japanese religions at that time, and they were very interested in the problem of Cheng Xian. Japan is to the east of Yingzhou, so it is not surprising that Japan is called by another name. Of course, this is also one of the many explanations in Japan.

In the 5th century A.D., after Japan's reunification, the title was Yamato. After years of development after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was inextricably linked with the "central city" or "central country" of China at that time. Japanese culture is deeply influenced by China culture, including religion and food culture.
