Nara Period (710-784 CE) (1 Jan 710 Jahr – 1 Jan 784 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

During this period of Japanese history, the imperial government was placed at Nara where Sinicization and Buddhism flourished. The capital was remodeled after the Chinese Tang dynasty capital and the Japanese patterned themselves according to Chinese social class while adopting chinese written characters. The power of Buddhism was a heavy influence on Japan and many temples and Buddhas were built to accommodate the growing number of worshippers and clergy. The temples were also said to protect the emperor and the state. The establishment of the capital at Nara marked the distinct alienation of the aristocratic ruling class from the agricultural society of ordinary people.
