There is no more complicated state-to-state relationship in the world than the relationship between China and Japan. The two countries are like two sides of a mirror, with one side almost completely reflecting the other, especially in terms of cultural heritage.
Most of Japanese culture comes from China. In the history of the Japanese nation, no matter which page you turn, there are deep traces of Chinese history. The Japanese once worked hard to "de-Sinicize".
Just like what Bangzi is doing now, I would like to say that the whole world was created by the Japanese.
But after doing this for a while, the Japanese people discovered in frustration and despair that if they wanted to be Sinicized, Japanese culture would be gone, and the entire history of the Japanese nation would have to be rewritten. Even the most extreme right-wingers could not
Such a huge project was completed without concealment.
Therefore, they simply no longer "de-Sinicize" the root cause, but strive to find a "conclusive" fact in any cultural and historical aspect, that is: the culture of the Japanese Empire did originate from China, but when
To this day, all aspects have passed through China.
The Japanese had done this twice before when the Mongols conquered the Southern Song Dynasty and when the Manchus conquered the Han people. They were followed by sticks, who refused to recognize the empires established by the Mongols and Manchus, and claimed that there was no real true existence in the Central Plains.
of Chinese civilization, and we are the true inheritors of Central Plains culture.
In modern times, the Japs and Bangzi saw the continuous loss of Chinese culture, and their disdain in their hearts increased day by day, and the mentality of self-proclaimed inheritors was infinitely magnified.
Therefore, the news that Li Yundong agreed to come to Japan for a tea fight spread throughout the Japanese spiritual practice and tea ceremony circles in an instant.
Nani? It’s okay for you, Li Wudi, to be arrogant in China. We pinched our noses and admitted it. Now, why don’t you just stay in China and come to Japan to fight for tea? Isn’t this seeking death?
It can be said that the Japanese tea ceremony covers all aspects of Japanese society. Japanese people sometimes hold a tea party after taking a bath. Companies need to hold entertainment activities to win over superiors and subordinates, and they are often held in the form of tea parties. Therefore, the radiating scope of the Japanese tea ceremony
It covers everything from an eighty-year-old man to an eight-year-old boy. Therefore, this news spread from the spiritual practice world and the tea ceremony world as quickly as possible. No matter how hard you try to cover it up, it cannot be covered up.
living.
The relationship between the Japanese tea ceremony and the Japanese spiritual world is extremely close, just as the relationship between the Japanese spiritual world and the Japanese political and economic circles is inseparable. This incident has attracted great attention from all over Japan, and has therefore caused huge waves.
The eyes of Japan's top and bottom could not help but turn from the tea ceremony world to the spiritual world.
In modern society, it is too easy to dig up a person's background. Although the Japanese spiritual community is silent about the painful memories that Li Yundong's several visits to the Japanese spiritual community have brought to the Japanese spiritual community, especially at the foot of Tianlong Mountain, Li Yundong and Tianji Xuanhu
The trauma it caused them made them want to dig this memory out of their minds.
But now that they were dug out, the Japanese spiritual community soon appeared in the Japanese spiritual community. Although their hatred for Li Yundong has continued to increase, among the Japanese people, this hatred is not very high, especially Tanaka Misa.
After the nymphomaniac told his story and praised it, it caused an uproar.
For the sake of a beloved woman, he resolutely goes against everyone in the world, even the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and goes against heaven!
This, this is simply a plot that only appears in Hollywood hero movies! The most important thing is that Ya actually succeeded!
Many little girls in Huaichun cried their hearts out over this, claiming that they must find a man like Li Yundong in this life, who will stay with him until death.
Not only the little girl was fascinated by Li Yundong's behavior, but many women were also agitated by it.
The social status of Japanese women is extremely low, and they are almost completely subordinate to men. Although it has improved slightly in recent years, it has not changed the overall environment in Japan. Therefore, in Japanese society, if a boy who is desperately in love does something for a girl,
This kind of thing is possible, but for married men and women who have been deeply integrated into the social structure and work hard all day long, it is almost impossible for a man to do such a thing for a woman. So these Japanese women
People felt very deeply about this matter.
Therefore, while the name Li Yundong was still being hotly discussed and debated in Japan, the girls and women in Japan had already raised the white flag and surrendered, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of this legendary figure.
This was a lively moment. The Japanese spiritual community was very annoyed to find that a big demon they hated so much, who had caused the Japanese spiritual world to regress for at least ten years, was so popular among the people, and he was still favored by women.
Welcome, is this okay? It is tolerable, but what is unbearable!
Nowadays, there are visitors every day at the gates of the residences of several major tea ceremony schools in the Japanese tea ceremony world. In addition to some giants in the political and economic circles who are concerned about the situation, the most important ones are the big names in the Japanese spiritual world.
With tears in their eyes, these big names held the hands of the heads of the major tea ceremony sects, and warned them sincerely: Brother, we guys in the spiritual world have been screwed. It depends on you whether we can save our face.
Got it!
Iemoto or the head of each major tea ceremony school usually has very close contacts with the major practice schools. Almost all of them are practitioners. Just like all tea ceremony masters in Japan must be eminent monks, all eminent monks in Japan must be
Like a tea ceremony master.
However, tea ceremony has great influence in Japan. Tea ceremony and politics are inseparable. Oda Nobunaga often held tea parties to win over his subordinates. Tea parties are an important political activity. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was born as a farmer, wanted to make up for the disadvantages of his origin.
He often used tea parties to win over people from all walks of life. Among them, the person who did this for him was the Japanese tea sage Sen no Rikyu.
As a result, Sen no Rikyu's reputation grew day by day, and at his peak, he could even compete with Toyotomi Hideyoshi. This also aroused the jealousy and hatred of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who eventually killed him.
Although Sen no Rikyu ended up in a bad way, the power of Japanese tea ceremony and tea ceremony masters can be seen from this. Therefore, the masters of the practice sect are also very wary of these tea ceremony masters. Although they have close contact with each other on weekdays, the true essence of practice is
The secret is not revealed at all.
Therefore, these tea ceremony masters also have a lot of resentment towards the giants in the spiritual world. Damn, you don't remember us at ordinary times. Now your crotch is dirty and you want us to wipe your butt?
But the current situation makes them unable to come out. After all, whoever can represent Japan in the tea fight will be a great affirmation of their own status.
Therefore, these tea ceremony masters or family heads all patted their chests and said: Gentlemen, please don't worry, just don't worry if Li Yundong doesn't come. If he comes, our family will definitely kill Ya Ting!
Although a tea fight will not bring someone to the point of death, it is still possible to kill Li Yundong's arrogant spirit and make him look invincible.
When the big names in the Japanese spiritual world heard this, they were as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
But there are exceptions. For example, Ise Shinto and Koyasan remained extremely calm and did not get involved in this matter. One of them sat high in the Ise Shrine and watched the fussy tea fighting competition coldly.
Watching this event silently on Mount Koya is known as Japan's "unprecedented prosperity in the tea ceremony world in the past ten years."
The reason why Ise Shinto is calm is because Ise Izumo realized many secrets of spiritual practice during the unprecedented battle at the foot of Tianlong Mountain and spent all day in front of the shrine to meditate on the spiritual philosophy.
This time, Ise Izumo no longer limited himself to Shintoism, but expanded the scope of his practice to include Buddhism and Taoism, and began to re-understand the mysteries and principles of this world.
A person who can touch the mysteries and peaks, or is about to touch the mysteries and peaks, his or her mind must be extremely broad and generous, and will never be narrow-minded.
In the process of dealing with Li Yundong, what Ise Izumo realized the most was that Li Yundong practiced Taoism in a broad and broad way. He was not limited to any one sect and never adhered to rules.
On the other hand, the Japanese spiritual practice world has a national narrow-minded problem due to its natural geographical narrowness, which ultimately leads to their practice being very easy to fall into a narrow misunderstanding.
Shintoism is one of them. Ise Izumo has deeply realized the limitations and bottlenecks in the practice of Shintoism. She is currently kneeling in the meditation hall in the backyard of the shrine. She is kneeling quietly in the lobby.
On the tatami in front of the courtyard, there is a Japanese-style small bridge with flowing water, gurgling and gurgling, and the bamboo waterwheel rises and falls upside down, making an empty sound, which is full of rhythm and rhythm, and is very Zen-like.
Ise Shenguang also knelt down on the tatami, tilted his head and looked at Ise Izumo who closed his eyes and looked at the sky. He smiled slightly and said: "Ise, what did you see?"
Ise Izumo slowly opened her eyes and said, "I saw a tsunami coming towards us."
Shinto shrine maidens and goddesses are extremely respected, not only because of their powerful magic and high status, but also because they are figures who can communicate with gods and can see a specific future under certain circumstances.
Ise Shenguang was silent for a long time and asked: "Izumo, can we survive?"
Ise Izumo turned around and said silently: "No one can be spared from this disaster."
Ise Shenguang was slightly surprised and said: "A tea fight can have such power?"
Ise Izumo shook her head: "It's not just tea fighting, tea fighting is just the beginning of it all..." After saying that, she closed her eyes again, as if she had fallen into a deep trance.
Ise Shenguang raised his head and looked at the stormy sky. He sighed softly and shook his head slowly.
At this time, Li Yundong, Su Chan, Ziyuan and his eldest disciple Zhou Qin had just arrived in Japan. As soon as they arrived in Japan, the country immediately became agitated, and media such as the spiritual practice world, the tea ceremony world, and NHK came in droves.
