Features: China and Japan are close and friendly neighbors, separated only by a narrow strip of water. As early as 1,500 years before the Meiji Restoration in Japan, economic and cultural exchanges between China and Japan began. From the 1st century BC, when the "Great Japan" emerged on the Japanese islands, formal exchanges with China's Qin and Han dynasties began. Chinese culture was continuously transmitted to Japan through the Korean Peninsula.
