Hata Tribe
was an immigrant clan active in Japan since the Kofun period (250–538), according to the history of Japan laid out in '' Nihon Shoki''. ''Hata'' is the Japanese reading of the Chinese surname ''Qin'' () given to the State of Qin and the Qin dynasty (the ancestral name was Ying), and to their descendants established in Japan. The ''Nihon Shoki'' presents the Hata as a clan or house, and not as a tribe; only the members of the head family had the right to use the name of Hata. The Hata can be compared to other families who came from the continent during the Kofun period: the descendants of the Chinese Han dynasty, through Prince Achi no Omi, ancestor of the Aya clan, the Sakanoue clan, the Tamura clan, the Harada, and the Akizuki clan, as well as the descendants of the Chinese Cao Wei Dynasty through the Takamuko clan. Origins The Hata are said to have come to Japan from China through the Chinese Lelang Commandery, then through the Kingdom of Baekje (both on the Korean peni ...

Kagome Crest
The Kagome crest or is a star-shaped emblem related to the kagome lattice design (Hexagonal and Octagonal lattices). The Kagome mon can be depicted as, either, a six-pointed star (a hexagram) and as an eight-pointed star (an octagram): # The six-pointed star version (a hexagram) is composed of two interlocking equilateral triangles, similar to/interchangeable with the Hindu ''Shatkona'' (Sanskrit: षट्कोण, Ṣaṭkoṇa, lit. ''Six-Sided''), which represents the union between opposites, similar to ''Yin and yang''. # The eight-pointed star version (an octagram) is composed of two interlocking squares, similar to/interchangeable with the Hindu ''Star of Lakshmi'' (which represents the ''Ashtalakshmi'' (Sanskrit: अष्टलक्ष्मी, Aṣṭalakṣmi, lit. ''Eightfold Lakshmi''), the eight forms, or "kinds of wealth", that the goddess, ''Lakshmi'', represents). Regardless of which one, both the six-pointed star and the eight-pointed star are also kn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Qin Shi Huang
Qin Shi Huang (, ; 259–210 BC) was the founder of the Qin dynasty and the first emperor of a unified China. Rather than maintain the title of "king" ( ''wáng'') borne by the previous Shang and Zhou rulers, he ruled as the First Emperor () of the Qin dynasty from 221 to 210 BC. His self-invented title "emperor" ( ') would continue to be borne by Chinese rulers for the next two millennia. Historically, he was often portrayed as a tyrannical ruler and strict Legalist, in part from the Han dynasty's scathing assessments of him. Since the mid 20th-century, scholars have begun to question this evaluation, inciting considerable discussion on the actual nature of his policies and reforms. Regardless, according to sinologist Michael Loewe "few would contest the view that the achievements of his reign have exercised a paramount influence on the whole of China's subsequent history, marking the start of an epoch that closed in 1911". Born in the Zhao state capital Handan, as Ying ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mimana
Mimana (), also transliterated as Imna according to the Korean pronunciation, is the name used primarily in the 8th-century Japanese text '' Nihon Shoki'', likely referring to one of the Korean states of the time of the Gaya confederacy (c. 1st–5th centuries). As Atkins notes, "The location, expanse, and Japaneseness of Imna/Mimana remain among the most disputed issues in East Asian historiography." Seth notes that the very existence of Mimana is still disputed. Usage of term The name (pronounced Mimana in Japanese, Imna in Korean, and Renna in Mandarin Chinese) is used over 200 times in the 8th-century Japanese text '' Nihongi''. Much earlier, it is mentioned in a 5th-century Chinese history text, the ''Book of Song'', in the chapter on the State of Wa. It is also used in two Korean epigraphic relics, as well as in several Korean texts, including ''Samguk Sagi''. Hypotheses on meaning The first serious hypothesis on the meaning of Mimana comes from Japanese scholars. Bas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
