"From Hong Kong to Mingzhou", the Japanese monk's diary mentioned many times in Ningbo

"Entering Dinghai County"

On July 19, researchers researchers in Haikou Haikou History History Museum in Township, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province found that the "Getting Tiantai Wutai Mountain Book" was found in the Japanese cabinet library, which provided another evidence for the Zhenhai as a Chinese and foreign exchange hub in the Song Dynasty.

"Getting Tiantai Wutai Mountain" is a diary written by the Japanese monk into the Song monk in China for more than a year. There are eight volumes. The full text is handwritten. China's current single -line journal is a version published by Huashan Literature and Art Publishing House. It mainly refers to the research of Shimadzu Grass and Heping Lin Wenxiong. It adopts the horizontal row of traditional characters and uses punctuation to change individual foreign characters from the positive characters. The "Getting Tiantai Wutai Mountain Ji" discovered this time is basically consistent with the content of it, only the difference in the glyph.

"But Dinghai County can be sent to the Japanese ship."

Cheng Xun (1011-1081), the common surname of Fujiwara, born in a bureaucratic family. At the age of seven (1017), he became a monk into a monk in Da Yun Temple, Japan. The three emperors in Japan have been extended for four years, namely the five years of Song Shenzong Xining (1072). On March 15th, Cheng Xun brought seven disciples in the Wall Island of Kosamusaku County, Japan (now Hozocho, Hozo -cho, Toshoda Prefecture, Japan Island) boarded the Song commercial ship, and this "Getting Tiantai Wutai Mountain Ji" was also written. Cheng Xun's "Getting Tiantai Wutai Mountain" records his vision in China, and has high historical value for studying Chinese -Japanese Buddhist culture, as well as the political, economic, ritual, religious beliefs and customs customs of the Northern Song Dynasty. There are rare precious works in the history of Chinese and Japanese cultural exchanges.

At that time, since the six years of Kuan Ping in Japan (the first year of Tang Ganning, 894), the Tang ambassador was suspended, and China and Japan have been unparalleled for nearly 180 years. Cheng Xun wrote himself: "For Li Qingliang Mountain, private merchant and guest Sun Zhong Shang ship, stealing the sea." So Chengxun actually violated the ban, and sneaked into the Song Dynasty in order to patrol the holy trace. But because he was the first Japanese monk who came to China in the past so many years, officials in the Song Dynasty and even Song Shenzong had preferential treatment to him. Not only did they patrol the requests of the sacred traces such as Wutai Mountain, Daxing Temple, and Qinglong Temple, they were all passed. The government along the way also took care of Cheng Xun and a group of people. Things, awarded the name of Master Shanhui.

In the nine years of Sui Xun, the Erdai Mountains and Wutai Mountains, the first year of the Japanese Emperor Yongbao (four years of the Song Shenzong Yuanfeng, 1081) was silent at Kaibao Temple in Jingjing, and was buried in the Guoqing Temple of the Tiantai Mountain. The Tower of the National Master ".

According to the "Getting Tiantai Wutai Mountain" records, on April 4, the four years of Yanjiu, Japan, Cheng Xun and his party "entered Dinghai County" and "from Hong Kong to Mingzhou". The following year, Cheng Xun applied to the Song Shenzong to return to China after the basis of basically completing the patrol and invitation to the temple, but did not get approval. On June 12th, he sent five monks who came to return to China with the income, and the diary ended here. Cheng Xun sent them to Dinghai County to formally separate, because the official document said, "But Dinghai County can be sent to Japan." Later, the first year of the Song Dynasty Yuanfeng (1078) in the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty officially launched Dinghai (now Zhenhai) as the only Kaiyuang Port on the official Maritime Silk Road (the earliest official transaction "Xuanhe Feng ambassador Goryto Sutra" mentioned in China After Feng, the imperial court sent envoys, all of which were settled in the sea of ​​Dinghai in Mingzhou "), which was not related to it.

After nearly 180 years of journey to China and Japan, it has considerable milestone value, and also highlights the important position of Zhenhai in the history of Chinese and foreign exchanges.
