    When Wu Zetian was drunk, he gave the country "Japan" the name "Japan", and the name "Japan" is still used today.

    It is recorded in the "Historical Records" that "the Empress Wu changed the Wa Kingdom to Japan", and there are also relevant records in the "Book of the Later Han", so it is true that Wu Zetian was drunk and gave the name of Japan. Japan was not called Japan before, in the ancient myths and stories of Japan itself, they called themselves "Eight Continents" or "Eight Islands", and according to the records in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, in ancient China, Japan was called "Wa" or "Wa Country". After Japan finished unifying its own country, the Japanese emperor named the country "Yamato".

    It is said that later in the Tang Dynasty era of our country, it was the period when Wu Zetian was the emperor, and the Sino-Japanese relations were still relatively good at this time. Japan often sent envoys to Tang for exchanges and to learn etiquette and culture. After studying for a period of time, the Japanese envoys understood the meaning of the word "倭".

    Wu Zetian set up a banquet to entertain the envoys, and during the banquet, when mentioning their respective countries, the envoys said that the word "倭" was not good. After consulting a lot of information, the Japanese wanted to change the name of their country to "Japan", "Japan" means the place where the sun rises, and at the same time, the Japanese also regard the sun as an auspicious totem, so the envoy asked Wu Zetian to agree to the name of their country.

    Wu Zetian was also a little too drunk, drunk, and lacked wise judgment, looking at the envoy's repeated requests, he thought to himself that it was not the name of a country, just change it, so he agreed to the request of the Japanese envoy. The envoy brought back to his home country the instrument approved by Wu Zetian, and the name Japan came into being, which has been used to this day.

    Once a small country, it was still laughed at because of the name of the country, but now Japan has become a developed country in Asia, and they also recognize the history of this country name.

    Japan has always been called Wakoku before. When they Japanese came to China to pay tribute. Because they are short.

    Therefore, the emperor gave them the country of Wa, and later they had close relations with China. They learned that the word 倭 has a derogatory meaning. Ask the emperor to rename it.

    Then Wu Zetian had a flash of inspiration when he was drunk. Give them the name Japan. It means the place of the rising sun.

    This is what Japan is today.

    Later they felt"The name of Wa Guo is a contemptuous name, so I want to change it to a nice name, but to change the name of the country must be recognized by the suzerain, so I asked Wu Zetian, the empress of the Tang Dynasty at that time, because they were in the east of the Tang Dynasty, standing on the ground of the Tang Dynasty to see the place where the sun rises, I wanted to take it"Wu Zetian thought that the name Japan made sense, so he gave them the name Japan. Officially called Japan the Wa Slave State, and became one of the more than 50 vassal states of the Han Dynasty. In order to eliminate this discrimination, the Japanese chose to pronounce themselves with the same pronunciation as "倭" in Japanese, and added a large character in front of the Japanese character "Wa", from which the Yamato people came from.

    At the end of the 3rd century <>, a state centered on the Yamato region was formed on the island of Honshu in Japan, and its power gradually increased, and finally the entire island was unified. Therefore, ancient Japan once used "Yamato" as its country name, and the Japanese nation also called itself "Yamato nation". For a long time, ancient China called Japan "Wa".

    Japan's relations with China first began in 57 A.D., when Japan was a small country. At that time, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty did not look down on this country at all, so he called it the country of the Japanese slaves. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty records that "the Japanese slave country paid tribute to the court, made people call themselves doctors, and Guangwu gave them seals", and printed five gilded characters:

    Han Wei Japanese slave state".

    According to Japanese mythology and legend, Emperor Jimmu, a descendant of Amaterasu, the god of Japan's creation, established Japan in 660 BC and ascended the throne as emperor, however, the name "Japan" did not exist at that time, because the ancient Japanese archipelago was in the Warring States period when there were many small countries for a long time, and there was no official unified country name for a long time. In the middle of the Yayoi period in Japan, the king of the slave kingdom in Kyushu paid tribute to the Han Dynasty and was given the "seal of the king of the Han Dynasty". This seal was unearthed in 1784 in the Kitakyushu region of Japan, and is now in the Fukuoka City Museum.

    This small country is today's Japan. Japan was formerly known as the Wakoku. Japan, which was called the Wa Kingdom during the Han Dynasty, gradually became dissatisfied with this name as the country developed, so when he went to the Tang Dynasty to meet Wu Zetian, he proposed to change his name while Wu Zetian was drunk.

    Judging from the ancient books, the Wa State did not have independent sovereignty at that time, and its status was equivalent to that of China's dependent states. Japan is a name that came later, and its ** was a casual remark after Wu Zetian was drunk. It is irrefutable that they have been used to this day, and although they have become a developed country, they were once our vassals.

    During the period of Wu Zetian, Japan visited many times, and wrote many times in the hope that Wu Zetian could help them change the name of a country, but Wu Zetian never agreed, at a banquet, the envoy once again asked Wu Zetian to change the name of the country, and Wu Zetian, who was already a little drunk, agreed to this request, according to the records of the Tang Dynasty themselves, mentioned a sentence".After the martial arts, the Japanese state was changed to the Japanese state. It can be seen from this that Wu Zetian's name Japan is a fact that does exist, it is real in history, and it is not made up nonsense.

    Japan's proposal to revise the country's name went through examination and approval at all levels, and finally arrived at Wu Zetian. At that time, Wu Zetian didn't care about Japan at all, after all, Japan's territory was very small, and it was really insignificant for the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was busy with state affairs at that time, so Wu Zetian didn't have time to take care of Japan's small request, so it was put on hold.

    The envoy group bombarded Wu Zetian in turn, and kept begging and even begging Wu Zetian to agree to their proposal. Wu Zetian's judgment also decreased when he was drunk, and he only felt that these people were really annoying to be noisy, so he hurriedly approved them and let them go. As a result, the Japanese envoy successfully returned to Japan with the approved name of the country.

    When Wu Zetian was drunk, he casually gave a name to a country, which is still used today, that is, Japan.
