Walking on the streets of Japan, we can easily find that many buildings on the streets of Japan are familiar, similar to what we see in costume TV dramas. On the streets of Kyoto, courtyards, shrines and temples all bear the charm of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, these architectural styles are similar to those in the prosperous Tang Dynasty in ancient China, which can be said to be borrowed from us. In fact, there are many historical materials to support this basis.

According to records, since the Sui Dynasty, Japan has had very close communication with China. In order to learn the culture of the Central Plains, the Japanese sent envoys to China. After the Tang Dynasty, the envoys sent to the Sui Dynasty became envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty. In addition to the name change, the number and batch sent to them have also increased a lot. After studying the culture of the Tang Dynasty, they were often reused after returning to Japan, spreading the culture of the Tang Dynasty to Japan.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a monk named Jian Zhen. After six trips, he went to Japan to teach Buddhist culture. He not only spread Buddhist theory, but also spread advanced mathematics, medicine and architecture in the Tang Dynasty. He not only brought a large number of books to backward Japan at that time, but also his entourage was proficient in art, medicine and architecture. His arrival has promoted the great progress of Japanese society and culture and become a great symbol of Sino-Japanese friendly exchanges.

It is not difficult to find out why there are so many buildings in the streets and alleys of Japan that retain the architectural traces of the Tang Dynasty.
