(No Chinese today can gracefully bow to show imperial respect to respectable guests or audience.) Imperial Authority Moved from China to Japan 1300 Years Ago
Though China became the largest U.S. Treasury-bond holder last year getting heavily focused on by the Western media, it was 1350 years ago that Japan and China collided militarily for the first time, resulting in a great change in the Japanese imperial regime.
SECTION I: Emperor Gaozong of Tang of China
Emperor Gaozong of Tang (628-683) seems to have a significant influence on Japan and Islam.
It is so, since he once called himself "Tien-hui" (in Chinese) or "Ten-noh" (in a Japanese sound to the same kanji-letters) rather than traditional "Hui-dai" (in Chinese) or "Kou-tei" (ditto) to imply himself as emperor.
He is also the first Chinese emperor who allowed for building of an Islamic mosque in China, specifically in Guangzhou.

SECTION II: Empress Wu Zetian (武則天 or 則天武后) (625 - 705)
Empress Wu Zetian is the only female imperial monarch in the Chinese history, meaning that she acted as a female emperor after death of her husband Emperor Gaozong of Tang.
There are some interesting reports about her posture to Japan:
(1) She sent a pair of pandas to the imperial court of Japan in 685 as the first diplomatic practice of using pandas as a symbol of international peace.
(2) She accepted the change of the name of Japan from "Wa" to "Nippon (Japan)" when an official envoy visited her court in Chang'an in 702. Empress Wu Zetian specifically extended favors to the envoy from Japan that had been defeated by China in a great war on the Korean Peninsula in 663.
(Ancient Chinese of 2000 years ago or earlier called Japan "Wa" for some reasons.)
When her husband Emperor Gaozong died, she officially gave him an honorable title "Ten-noh Ten-tei (in a Japanese sound to the Chinese letters)" meaning the Holy and Heavenly Emperor.
And, it was around this period that the Japanese monarch (or the Great King of "Wa") started to call himself "Ten-noh (using the corresponding Chinese- or kanji-lettes)" meaning an emperor.
Specifically, Emperor Ten-Mu of Japan whose reign was between 673 and 686 is believed to have called himself "Ten-noh" as the first instance of the imperial history.
Even today, an emperor of Japan is called "Ten-noh" in Japanese; the nation of Japan is called "Nihon/Nippon" in Japanese.
Accordingly, the source of authority for introduction of the titles "Nippon" (Japan) and "Ten-Noh" (Japan's Emperor) can be Empress Wu Zetian who governed China around 700 rather cruelly according to historical evidences.
SECTION III: Origin of "Nippon/Nihon" (Japan) and "Ten-Noh" (Japan's Emperor)
Hence, my theory is that after the war between "Wa (Japan)" and "Tang (China)" in 663, both the countries tried to re-establish peace between them. Especially as Emperor Gaozong died in 683 and Empress Wu Zetian presented a pair of pandas to Japan in 685, the then Japanese monarch "Ten-Mu" responded around 686 to China's good wish by adopting for himself a new title "Ten-noh," a rare title for a Chinese emperor but once used by the then deceased Emperor Gaozong for some time, thus rejoicing Empress Wu Zetian.
Accordingly, in 702 the Empress accepted the change in the name of Japan from "Wa" to "Nippon" which must have been already used by some Koreans to mean Japan who had fought against China in a tie up with Japan in the war of 663, since "Nippon" is more graceful than "Wa" and ancient Koreans must have known such meanings of kanji-letters more than most of ancient Japanese. "Nippon" means the root of a legendary holy tree (for ancient Chinese) where the sun rises, while "Wa" means people gentle and small.
This may be the first decisive theory on identification of the source of authority on Japan and Japan's Emperor in an academic term.

Today, China is governed by the Chinese Communist Party.
There is nothing spiritually and morally imperial in China and Chinese minds of today, since they are being educated in line with philosophy imported from Europe (though they look still materially imperial).
Authority and spirits of ancient Chinese Empires are only alive in Japan of today.
Though some Europeans and Americans have a romantic dream that they can find something historically imperial in China of today, it can be only found in Japan.
It is so, since it was 1615 that the last Chinese Empire of the Han tribe was terminated; and it was 1912 that the last Chinese Empire established by a non-Han tribe on the Chinese continent was terminated.
(Han Chinese is the major tribe in the Chinese race.)
Japan of today is the only authentic successor of the ancient Chinese Imperial culture.
(Nonetheless it is not so honorable for Japan to openly admit that Japan owed its imperial authenticity to one cruel Chinese Empress who was also the only female, imperial monarch in the Chinese history, though some miracle must have happened around her in 683 or so. Accordingly, everything about this issue was left in historical ambiguity on purpose...and thus nobody in Japan today knows who in what context adopted the name of Japan and the appellation of Japan's Emperor 1300 years ago...)
That is all for today, Sirs.
