What contribution does Jianzhen have to the exchange and dissemination of Chinese and Japanese cultu

Traveling east to Japan, let Japan understand the Buddhist culture of Middle-earth

Jianzhen's contribution to Japan:

Jianzhen is the founder of the Vinaya sect of Japanese Buddhism, the pioneer of the Japanese Tiantai sect, and he brought a large number of Buddhist scriptures to Japan, as well as many classic texts of the Huayan sect and the Shingon sect, which laid the foundation for the establishment and development of the Japanese Buddhist sects. It contains: "Huayan Sutra", "Great Collection Sutra", "Great Product Sutra", "Commentary on the Teaching Sutra", "Six Wonderful Gates", "Moko Zhiguan", "Lotus Xuanyi", "Lotus Chinese Verses", "Xiaozhiguan", "Zen Gate", "Sanskrit Sutra", "Collection of Sutras" and many others.

With the support of Empress Xiaoqian, Jianzhen renovated and expanded the old residence of Prince Shintabe in the right character of Nara Castle Gojo 2bo into the later Karashodaiji Temple. Allah held the architecture and sculpture of Tang Zhaoti Temple, and directly transmitted the essence of Chinese architecture (completely imitation Tang style wooden structure hall, paying attention to symmetry everywhere) and sculpture art, and the main Buddha statue of the Golden Hall is the most ingenious, magnificent and solemn dry lacquer statue, with a unique and exquisite carving style, and is the most horizontal statue in the Tianping era. In order to shape the Buddha statue, Jianzhen once taught the 'dry lacquer method' (also known as the 'clamping method' or wooden heart dry lacquer), and this kind of sculpture is called the Tang Zhaoti temple school, and it has a great influence on the sculpture of Buddha statues in Japanese Buddhist temples.

When Jianzhen crossed to the east, he personally brought more than 50 calligraphy works, which provided a reference for the art of Japanese calligraphy, only among the gifts he presented to the Empress Xiaoqian and the Emperor Shengwu Taishang, there were one post of Wang Xi's true handwriting, three posts of Wang Xianzhi's authentic handwriting, and other things were not to be said, and the four posts of the two kings were enough to be a national treasure. In addition, Jianzhen has had a great influence on many aspects of Japanese medicine, literature, painting, especially skills and customs, and has become an important part of Japan's 'Tenpyo culture'.

When Jianzhen crossed to the east, he transferred China's advanced science, technology, culture, law, education system, astronomical calendar, and medicine (he once left a volume of "The Secret Recipe of the Signatory", which was Jianzhen's contribution to Japanese medicine until ten.

In the seventh and eighteenth centuries, the medicine bags sold in Japanese pharmacies were often printed with portraits of Jianzhen), architecture, art, music and dance, customs and entertainment, and even mid-year behavior were brought to Japan, and other Sui and Tang envoys, overseas students, overseas monks, and scholarly monks helped Japan transition from slavery to feudalism, and Japan absorbed all aspects of advanced means of production from China and entered the Dahua reform, which finally prompted Japan to enter the glorious Heian Dynasty era in history.

In addition, the Japanese still revere Jianzhen as the ancestor of sugar extraction, sewing, and making tofu and soy sauce

It allowed Chinese culture to be introduced to Japan and promoted ethnic exchanges.

It should be burdened by fame, and in the Tang Dynasty, the various sects within Buddhism were also fiercely fighting, basically incompatible, there was Xuanzang in front of the west, in order to increase popularity, so he chose an ascetic way to promote himself and his sect.

Master Jianzhen's eastward journey has injected new blood into Japanese culture, which has not only had a great impact on the development of Buddhism in Japan, but also made remarkable achievements and influences in architecture, sculpture, medicine, literature, printing, etc., especially for the development of Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges and the promotion of friendship between the two peoples. Through the exhibition, we will fully understand and learn the spirit of Jianzhen, vigorously carry forward the spirit of Jianzhen, further promote the economic, cultural, academic and other exchanges between Yangzhou and Japan, enhance the friendship between the Chinese and Japanese peoples, overcome difficulties, accelerate the rise, and work hard to achieve the great goal of "two firsts".

In terms of the origin of culture, Japanese culture and Chinese traditional culture are similar or interconnected. In 754 AD, Jianzhen's eastward crossing had a significant and far-reaching impact on all aspects of Japanese culture, and the Japanese people called Jianzhen "the benefactor of Japanese culture"; Japan did not have its own original script before the introduction of Chinese characters, etc., which illustrates the relationship between Japanese culture and Chinese culture.
