Tang dynasty in China. (唐王朝・618 AD～907)　
This dynasty flourished as a global dynasty.

Of course, culture also flourished.
This era, China has produced a poet of many.
Their poetry is called ”Tang poetry”. (唐詩)

"Currently，many dialects are present in China.
(including the standard languages.)

When we read Tang poetry.
They and Japanese language of current.
Which would be close to the pronunciation of Chang'an of era of the Tang Dynasty?"
　
There was a person with a question like this.　
However，I do not know its answer.

"Japanese language is close to the pronunciation of that time than them.”
But apparently there is this possibility.


・・・・・・・・・

　
Chang'an was the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
At that time，many Japanese international students were staying there.　
　
This international students were called ”kentōshi”. (遣唐使)　
　
Literal translation of ”kentōshi” is "envoy to Tang".

This study abroad was conducted as a national policy.
Besides, exchanges of each other was active of course.
　
Many cultures have been brought to Japan at that time.

But 907 AD, the Tang Dynasty was perish.
Before that little, this study abroad was abolished.

And after this，Japan began follow the path of their own.

Culture of China that was brought to Japan until this period.
It seems to have been saved in Japan.
