Chapter 107 Famous figures in the Tang Dynasty and Japan

"Abe Nakamaro, a great figure in the Nara period, was well-known in China and Japan. His achievements are absolutely unmatched in the Nara period, and even throughout Japanese history, there is almost no one who can match him."

Professor Kitayama glanced at everyone, as if he could see that everyone still didn't understand how powerful Abe Nakamaro's achievements were.

Immediately, he spoke bluntly.

"When it comes to Japanese Onmyoji, I think the first thing you think of is Abe Seimei, and you think he is the No. 1 Onmyoji."

Everyone nodded noncommittally.

Seimei Abe's contributions and achievements to Yin-Yang Dao laid the foundation for the future development of Yin-Yang Dao and had a profound impact on Yin-Yang Dao.

"Actually, people who really understand Yin Yang Dao and history don't think Abe Seimei is No.1.

In other words, I think there are still people who can match Abe Seimei.

For example, Guanle Sengzheng not only brought ideas such as happy Dunjia Fangshu, Yin-Yang and Five Elements to Japan, but also taught many great figures in Yin-Yang Dao, such as Yanghu Yuchen, who is revered as the "ancestor of Li Dao" in Japan. Otomo Gao Cong, who is revered as the "ancestor of Tianwen Dao", and Yamabe Hitachi, who is known as the "ancestor of Dunjia alchemy" in Japan.

It can be said that Guanle Sengzheng is the pioneer of Yinyang Dao in Japan, and his name is no less than that of Abe Seimei. "

When everyone heard the words, they realized what Professor Beishan meant by saying this, and their faces were shocked.

"Could it be...Abe Nakamaro also..."

"Yes, Abe Nakamaro is also a famous person in Yinyang Dao. His achievement is the same as Kanre Sengzheng, not inferior to Abe Seimei, and even worse."

Professor Beishan was excited and his voice trembled.

"Because Abe Nakamaro's reputation is not like that of Abe Seimei, it is only passed down in Japan, and his name was also famous in China during the Tang Dynasty in China.

Master Kukai, you know, he once went to Huaguo and obtained Buddhist scriptures, which had a profound impact on Japanese Buddhism. Abe Seimei also went to Huaguo, and it is said that he even worshiped Master Hakichi as his teacher.

Both of them are very powerful. After studying in Huaguo, they became famous in Japan. "

Everyone nodded.

They still know what Professor Kitayama said. Huaguo's suspected mythical and extraordinary glory is much stronger than Japan. People like Seimei Abe and Master Kukai went to Huaguo one by one, like gold-plated, with extraordinary achievements.

Just when they were confused about why Professor Beishan mentioned these things suddenly, Professor Beishan changed the topic.

"They were just studying scriptures and apprentices in China. Abe Nakamaro was different. He made extraordinary achievements in China. He took the imperial examination, became a high school scholar, and served as the Tang Zuosanqi Changannan Governor. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was important to him. When Abe Nakamaro returned home, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty made him a duke.

The Tang Dynasty, one of the most prosperous dynasties in the history of Huaguo, had the reputation of coming to court from all nations, and Abe Nakamaro, in such a resplendent Huaguo, obtained Jinshi, increased officials and became nobles.

Anyone who is familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty in Huaguo will definitely know a person named Chao Heng.

Chao Heng is exactly Abe Nakamaro's Chinese name in China. "

"Chao Heng?!"

Tsuchimikado Kenji, who loves ancient Chinese poems, changed his expression:

"Professor Beishan, the Chao Heng you are talking about is the Chao Heng in the poem "Weeping Chao Qingheng" written by Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty who is known as the 'Poem Immortal'?!"

For ancient poetry, Kenji Tsuchimikado likes it very much. He likes to read ancient poetry every day when he has nothing to do.

And those who like ancient poetry, how can they not know Li Bai, this is a great poet known as a poet, and his talent is famous all over the world.

Tsuchimikado Kenji's favorite poet is Li Bai. He has read all of Li Bai's poems and studied each of Li Bai's poems. Among them, he is deeply impressed by Li Bai's poem, because that poem is related to Japan, to be precise, it is related to Japanese related.

It is "Crying Chao Qingheng"!

The poem was written by Li Bai for a friend named Chao Heng. The reason why he wrote this poem was because Li Bai learned that his friend Chao Heng was going back to Japan from China, because Chao Heng was Japanese. Hit by a sea wave, drowned,

Li Bai was very sad when he learned of the unfortunate death of his friend Chao Heng, so he wrote a poem crying about Chao Heng.

Kenji Tsumimon never thought that Abe Nakamaro was Chao Heng, who was a close friend with the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty.

Immediately, Kenji Tsuchimikado realized deeply that Abe Nakamaro's achievement is that he is a famous person who is famous in Japan and also in China, and who can make friends with Chinese celebrities!

"Yes, I'm talking about Chao Heng in Li Bai's poem "Crying for Chao Qingheng".

He is Abe Nakamaro, who is not only good friends with Li Bai, but also good friends with poets Wang Wei, Chu Guangxi, Zhao Ye (Hua) and other great poets of the Tang Dynasty. "

Hearing this, Kenji Tuyumen gasped, his old eyes widened.He has heard of all the names of the Chinese people mentioned by Professor Beishan, and they are all famous poets in the history of the Chinese country.

Followed by.

After Kenji Tsuchimikado explained the identities of Li Bai, Wang Wei, etc., Professor Kitayama talked about Abe Nakamaro's deeds in Tang Dynasty and Japan, and everyone was too surprised to speak.

They finally understood why Abe Nakamaro's achievements were said to be even worse than Abe Seimei's.

Sudden.

At the end of Professor Kitayama's speech, Yoyo added something.

"You know, people worship the strong, and there are often people who pretend to be the name of the strong, or pretend to be the descendants of the strong, in order to gain vanity and attention. Of course, it is also a different kind of worship of the strong.

In fact, there are rumors that Abe Seimei also claimed to be a descendant of Abe Nakamaro. "

"what?!"

Everyone straightened up abruptly, if it wasn't for the presence of Abe Mitakemaro, they would have stood up in shock.

Even so, they were also terrified.

Onmyoji No.1, Abe Seimei, such a celebrity actually pretends to be someone else's descendant? !

This alone is enough to show how powerful Abe Nakamaro is, even Abe Seimei respects and is proud of him.

"Don't take it seriously, this is just a rumor. Regarding Abe Seimei's claim that he is a descendant of Abe Nakamaro, there is a lot of controversy in the historian circle, and it is believed to be false."

Professor Beishan waved his hand, afraid that if he made a rumor on the spur of the moment, everyone would believe it. After all, it was just a controversial rumor that had not been confirmed or denied.

In fact, the reason why he said this rumor was mainly because he only found out today that Abe Nakamaro is extraordinary.

A celebrity who existed in the previous era of the Heian era is still extraordinary. Maybe this rumor is not necessarily false, but unfortunately he has no way to prove it. As a historian, if there is no proven thing, naturally you can’t talk nonsense. Historians have to stand for their own words Responsible.

"It's not fake, it's real."

Without any warning, a lazy middle-aged voice came out and echoed in everyone's ears.

moment.

Everyone suddenly turned their heads and looked straight at Abe Mitakemaro, their expressions were extremely shocked and their hearts were shaken.

"Really??" Professor Beishan couldn't help asking because he was afraid that he was hallucinating.

It can be seen that when Professor Beishan asked this question, veins appeared in the corners of his eyes, and his blood spurted from shock, and his voice was almost moaning.

Abe Mitakemaro stuck a toothpick into a pastry on the table and ate it, nodding.

"real."
