The trip to Osaka on the second day was very pleasant. After visiting a series of scenic spots such as the castle tower, Shikura and his party went to Kyoto in the evening of the same day as planned.

In the process of browsing the scenery of Osaka, Han Weiji and An Chenyue acted as tour guides and introduced the history of Osaka Castle to everyone.In fact, the two have never lived in Osaka Castle, but because of their profound knowledge, such historical allusions are naturally at their fingertips.

There are three major cities in Japan, Kumamoto Castle, Nagoya Castle, and the last one is Osaka Castle.Osaka Castle was originally the residence of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a famous daimyo in the Warring States Period and Azuchi Momoyama Period.Later, Tokugawa Ieyasu attacked Osaka Castle twice and wiped out the Toyotomi family. This became an important stronghold for the Tokugawa shogunate to rule West Japan.The Osaka Castle that you see now was rebuilt by the Tokugawa Shogunate, and the Osaka Castle where Toyotomi Hideyoshi lived has been burned.

For the Chinese, Japanese history is unfamiliar, and Chinese people who are not interested in it generally only know about two reforms in Japanese history—the Taika Reform and the Meiji Restoration.At most, if you know that Japan also had the Warring States Period, and if you know one or two celebrities from the Warring States Period, it is over.For the Chinese nation with a history of 4000 years and a claim of 5000 years, the history of other countries and nations seems too thin to us.What's more, most of Japan's history and culture are attached to the shadow of the magnificent China, and it is understandable that they are not interested.

Master Lu Yicheng Lu is a fan of ancient military affairs. In his opinion, the Japanese Warring States Period, to the Chinese who have nearly 600 years of Spring and Autumn and Warring States history, is simply a group of uncivilized monkeys playing around. No.

"They played what we had left over. When our ancestors experienced the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, no one thought it was the Warring States Period. Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qin, countries were countries, and the land of China was divided. Until the Western Han Dynasty "Warring States Policy" The concept of "Warring States" came into being when the book was completed. When the Japanese were in the Warring States Period, they directly applied this concept, so when the Japanese were in the Warring States Period, everyone knew that they were in the Warring States Period. I think this is quite funny Yes." On the way to Kyoto, everyone sat in the carriage of the JR train, and Lu Yicheng talked eloquently.

"It's true. It's the Warring States for the sake of the Warring States, calling itself the Warring States. This is Takeda Shingen's fault." Han Weiji laughed.

"When is Japan's Warring States period equivalent to China's?" asked the twin sister, Dong Yousi.

"Japan's Warring States period was from 1467 to 1615. At that time, we were in the Ming Dynasty." An Chenyue pushed up her glasses and replied accurately.

"Wow, it's more than 2000 years behind, it's just..." Meng Yixuan exclaimed.

"However, it cannot be said that they are backward. After all, this is just a political concept. The political structure of Japan at that time was like this, which was very similar to the previous Chinese Warring States Period. It is not that their economic culture has just developed to the Chinese Warring States Period. Think about it, how many envoys from the Tang Dynasty have been sent here, and they have basically learned what they can and should learn, so that they are not too far behind Huaxia. Huaxia in the Ming Dynasty is actually on the decline." Han Wei Ji said something fair.

"Well, the civil strife in Japan at that time actually brought a lot of trouble to the Ming Dynasty. The most famous ones were the Japanese pirates." Lu Yicheng said.

Han Weiji nodded, and continued: "That's true. Originally, Japan's Northern and Southern Dynasties were separated. It was the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang's thunderous tactics prevented the Japanese pirates from becoming a serious problem. During Ming Chengzu's reign, he once reached an agreement with the Ashikaga government. Kanhe trade. But after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, I remember it was after the Zhengtong year..."

"Which emperor came in the orthodox year?" Lu Yicheng slapped his forehead, thinking hard.

"Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty." Han Weiji replied with a smile, "What happened in Tumubao? He was captured and taken to Oala as a prisoner. His younger brother Zhu Qiyu became the emperor. Later, he was released and imprisoned for another seven years. Later, a coup was finally launched and his brother was abolished, which is the history of the two brothers tearing each other up."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Lu Yicheng clapped his hands, "In short, at that time, the Ming Dynasty was also in chaos, Japan was also in chaos, Japanese pirates were fleeing, and the people along the coasts of eastern Zhejiang and eastern Fujian were living a miserable life."

"And in fact, many of the Japanese pirates are our own people. It's just... oh... let's not talk about it." Han Weiji sighed.

"In troubled times, how can ordinary people have a good life. If they don't have a good life, evil thoughts will naturally arise. Once they are teased by others, they don't care about anything." An Chenyue said lightly.

Meng Yixuan sat on the side, listening to everyone's talk, she couldn't help being envious, but unfortunately, she was busy with her livelihood, and she hadn't read a history book seriously for many years, and basically forgot what should be forgotten.Back then, she could be regarded as a little princess of liberal arts, and she could say all kinds of things when mentioning these things, but now, she can only listen obediently.So I secretly made up my mind that I should study hard and read books.

"Let's not talk about the troubled times. If we want to talk about the prosperous times in Japan, we have something to say about the capital we are going to." Han Weiji said.

"Hey, what, what r, tell us." Dong Suizhi excitedly approached, apparently she liked to hear Han Weiji tell them about history.

Han Weiji smiled, turned to look at Huo Yan who was sitting behind, and said:

"Let Huo Yan tell you about it. Her postgraduate thesis is about the history of Heianjing."

But Huo Yan was sleeping soundly leaning on Mo Lin's shoulder, almost drooling.Mo Lin actually fell asleep too, his body remained upright, but his head was tilted to one side.

"How did these two guys sleep like this?" Han Weiji sweated.

"I was too tired last night." He Yuqing said listlessly, and what she said with her panda eyes was so convincing.Han Weiji glanced at An Chenyue, she was very energetic and radiant.

"Ahem." Clearing his throat, Han Weiji sat down again and said:

"Forget it, since this is the case, let me talk about it. Before that, I will give a rough overview of Japan's history. Remember, our theme this time is a historical and cultural journey. What did I say? What have you learned, you will have to take an exam when you go back."

"Hey~~~" Everyone protested.

"Wages for high scores will be raised!" Han Weiji said.

Everyone immediately took out their notebooks and pens neatly, ready to be students.And Yin Yi was hesitating whether to wake up his master and wife, but finally gave up.Anyway, the two of them should not belong to the scope of assessment objects.

"Just as China is divided into ancient times, slave periods, and feudal periods, Japan is also divided in the same way. Japan's ancient times and slave periods are not as clear as China. They are basically divided into the following periods: Paleolithic Age, Jomon Age , Yayoi Era, Kofun Era. I will not explain the Paleolithic Age. The Jomon Era is equivalent to the end of the Paleolithic Age. What does Jomon mean? It means that the unearthed pottery has rope patterns on it, so it is called Jomon. Yayoi The era is about 600 years from the third century BC to the third century AD. The name also comes from pottery, that is, Yayoi pottery. The ancient tomb era is named after the construction of ancient tombs in Japan at that time.

Everyone should know that in ancient Japan, the west was developed and the east was backward, which is the opposite of today.Why?Because the western part of Japan, especially the Kyushu region, is the closest to mainland China and the first to come into contact with advanced culture.Therefore, the ancient Kyushu region of Japan was actually very developed.Many powerful regimes in Japanese history developed from the Kyushu region.

After the Kofun Era, the Asuka Era entered, and officially entered the Feudal Era.Why is it so divided?Because during this period of time, the reform of Prince Shotoku, which everyone is familiar with, and the Taika Reformation took place.What does flying bird mean?In fact, it is a place name, which is now the Asuka place in Nara Prefecture.During this period, coups were frequent, and Japan was heading towards a prosperous age in twists and turns.Finally, from the seventh century to the eighth century AD, it entered the prosperous age - the Nara period.

Nara Castle in the Asuka era was called Fujiwara-kyo, but in 710 AD, after the emperor moved the capital to Nara, it was renamed Heijo-kyo.At this time, Nara was influenced by the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in China, and also received the culture of India and Iran through the Tang Dynasty, thus the first comprehensive cultural prosperity of Japan appeared.At this time, Japanese society seems to be in a peaceful and prosperous age of peace and prosperity.But at this time, the long-standing disadvantages for future generations were also forming. The bantian system was difficult to form, the economy of the emperor's autocratic country was shaken, and the centralized power system was gradually weakened due to internal strife.

Therefore, in 794 AD, Emperor Huanmu moved the capital from Nara to Heian-kyo, which is now Kyoto, and officially opened the Heian era.The name of the Heian period is derived from the name of the capital.Peace and peace, the pursuit of peace and tranquility, it can be seen how tired the emperor was at that time.The Heian period can be said to be a period of great development of Japanese native culture, and it was also a period when Japan continued to digest the culture introduced from the prosperous Tang Dynasty.In this era, Japan has its own characters, its own literature, its own architectural style, its own painting music, and so on.

So what shall we see in Kyoto?The main thing is to look at the Heian period in Japan. "

After finishing this paragraph, Han Weiji was thirsty and took a sip of water before continuing:

"In fact, most of the buildings in Kyoto today were built in the late period of the shogunate. There are no real ancient buildings in Heianjing. However, Heianjing itself was built after Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. Not too bad. Although the building has changed a lot, the names of the streets are still very interesting, retaining the charm of the Heian-kyo period. Everyone is familiar with the buildings in Kyoto, such as Kiyomizu Temple, Kinkakuji Temple, Ginkakuji Temple, Nijo Castle etc."

"R, that... in Conan, the ballads of the streets of Kyoto, can you sing?" Jiang Silin asked excitedly.

"I can sing, but I don't have the flavor of the locals. This ballad was originally sung in Jingyan leaves. In addition, this ballad is divided into two songs, from north to south, recording the east-west direction of the street. The name of the ballad is "Maruzhuyi", and the ballad that records the north-south direction of the street from east to west is called "Temple Miyuki". If I remember correctly, only "Maruzhuyi" should appear in Conan, and there are two differences This is because with the development of the times, motor vehicles appeared in Kyoto after the Meiji era, and motor vehicle lanes were opened up. Urban planning made some subtle changes in the roads. The Kyoto municipal government specially revised the ballad for this purpose. In fact, you don’t need to Listen to my singing anxiously, we will stay in Kyoto for two days, and we will visit the local museum, where there is a special person singing this song."

"Then explain why it's called "Marutakei" and "Temple Miyuki"." The studious children asked again.

"The origin is very simple, that is to take the first three characters of the ballad as the name. Wan (まる) bamboo (たけ) Yi (えびす) two (に) charge (おし) Ochi (おいけ), you see that the beginning is not '丸Zhuyi'? The first sentence of "Temple Miyuki" is sung like this: Temple (てら) Miyuki (ごこ) Bran House (ふや) Fu (とみ) Liu (やなぎ) Sakai (さかい), the beginning is "寺御喜'Three words." Han Weiji sang it naturally as he spoke.

Everyone admired them deeply, they really knew everything.

It so happened that at this time, an old man who was nearly seventy years old passed by their seats and heard Han Weiji singing. He couldn't help but stop, and tremblingly said to Han Weiji:

"Oh, you are really good. It's been a long time since someone sang "Tera Miyuki", but "Marutake Yi" is often heard. Are you... from China?"

The old man speaks an authentic Kyoto dialect, that is, Jingyan Ye, obviously an old Kyoto native.Han Weiji hurriedly humbled, but the old man began to chat enthusiastically. When he learned that they were going to visit the capital, the old man said:

"I asked my daughter to take you to play. She happens to be our tour guide in Kyoto. She has been doing this for many years and is very experienced."
