As a diplomatic envoy, an envoy to the Tang Dynasty can't stay in China for too long, so it is difficult to better absorb China's advanced culture. Therefore, the Japanese government has sent "overseas students" and "returned students" at the same time since it sent Tang envoys for the second time.
