For a person, the name is very important, and for a country, the name of the country is even more important. Since it is a country name, it is not just a name, its existence is more meaningful, it is a representative of the country, gathering the spirit of the people. In ancient times, as a powerful country, China naturally had many vassal countries, and some small countries around it would also come to me to offer offerings. At that time, there was another country that asked our country to give it a name, and the name of this country has not been changed since then.
During the Tang Dynasty, one of the most powerful times in China, when a country sent emissaries to our country to pay tribute. However, the country not only paid tribute to the dynasty, but also had a very heavy task, that is, to change the name of the country. In fact, the original name of this country was also given by our country, called "Wuguo", which was given by Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty according to the image of the country's envoys. At that time, the meaning of "倭" was beautiful, but with the development of the times, the meaning of the word became more and more obvious, so the country wanted to change the name of the country.
This country is Japan, and before Wu Zetian, he had sent emissaries to our country many times to ask the emperor to change his name, but no emperor was willing to change it to Japan. During the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty, Japan again sent envoys to request a change in the name of the country, and brought a lot of things. Wu Zetian was happy, and as a result, he drank too much wine, and the Japanese emissary took advantage of Wu Zetian's drunkenness to ask Wu Zetian to change the name of the country for them again, and Wu Zetian himself was more happy, and he was still the name of the country, so he directly agreed.
The name Japan also began from the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty and has been used to this day. Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has been developing its military and once became a military power in Asia, and even China is not as strong as them. Because of this, Japan began to be arrogant and arrogant, and launched a war of aggression against our country, but in the end Japan was expelled from China. The name Japan has not changed since ancient times, and until now, japan still uses this name.
Maybe many people think that a good one is not so important, but it is not so. Just like a person's name, taking a bad name may become a serious laughing stock, and may also be often joked about, especially the name of the country, and it is the least allowed to have a similar situation. Therefore, at that time, after learning the specific meaning of "倭", Japan chose to request a change in the name of the country, from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, and finally succeeded, and now Japan is a country that is already a powerful country in the world.
