The history of Japan, it is not Chinese

No, the Chinese do not have hybrids.

Historically, Japan did not belong to China, but in the past, part of Japan was a vassal state of China, and tribute was paid to China on a regular basis.

Ryukyu is the Okinawa of today's Japan. China and the Ryukyus have had a relationship of suzerainty and vassal relations for more than 500 years. Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu and China have had close relations, and Ryukyu has continued to pay tribute to China, and successive Ryukyu kings have accepted Chinese canonization.

In 1372, Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, issued an edict to Chadu, the king of Zhongshan. The three kings of Shanbei, Zhongshan and Shannan paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. Ryukyu became a vassal of the Ming Empire.

A vassal state refers to a country that nominally retains a certain degree of sovereignty, but in fact is subordinate to and subject to other countries to a certain extent in terms of internal affairs, foreign affairs, and economy. The most typical form of vassal state is a vassal or semi-colony. As far as China is concerned, China has had vassal states since the Western Han Dynasty, and most of the Chinese dynasties have adopted a policy of softness towards vassal states, rarely intervening in their internal affairs, but providing them with protection free of charge.

History

More than 10,000 years ago, Japan, like Taiwan, was connected to the East Asian continent, because the Quaternary climate was cold, and the sea level was often 80 to 200 meters lower than it is now.

A large part of the East Asian ancestors lived in the Sanhai Plain, and the aborigines of Japan and Taiwan were part of it.

About 10,000 years ago, the last glacial age ended with global warming and rising sea levels, eventually separating Japan, Taiwan, and the mainland.

Japan and Taiwan are not completely isolated, the Taiwan Strait is not completely hindered from cross-strait exchanges, and Japan can also connect with the mainland through the Korean Peninsula.

It is even very convenient to cross the sea directly to the present East China. In the process of exchange, there were naturally immigrants, and it was in this state that Japanese civilization developed.

Japan was not Chinese before. Historically, Japan and China have always been two independent countries, and there is no subordinate relationship. However, in terms of politics and culture, Japan has a lot of references to China, and a large part of their earliest writing is ** in China, and China's influence on the development of Japanese civilization is immeasurable.

Hiroshi Murayama, editor-in-chief of the Japanese Economic News, released the true answer, saying that the Japanese are not direct descendants of the Chinese, and he supports his views from many aspects such as language, appearance, culture and even genes. And came to the astonishing conclusion that the ancestors of the Japanese were from all over Asia, and that Japan has well preserved these sounds and cultures.

Culture of Japan

Ikebana was born as a technique for reproducing flowers blooming in the wild in a tea room, and it can be divided into more than 20 genres depending on the rules and methods of display, and there are many schools in Japan that teach the techniques of each school of ikebana. In addition, you can enjoy the beautiful art of flower arrangement at various places such as hotels and department stores.

Calligraphy, when it comes to calligraphy, I believe many people will think that it is an art unique to China. In fact, calligraphy is not only popular in Japan, but also one of the ways for people to cultivate their nature. In ancient Japan, calligraphy was called Irikido or Pendo, and it was not until the Edo period that the term calligraphy appeared.

In Japan, calligraphy became popular when writing kanji with a brush was introduced to Buddhism. Monks and Buddhists imitated China and used brushes to transcribe scriptures.
