A lot of India are famous dignitary Ceng Buyuan comes 10 thousand lis to Oriental do missionary work, they understand China culture very much, be in naturally appellation respect also is not a problem.
Ancient India uses Sanskrit to undertake communication more, the written language that uses with us is disparate, china is called " raise that " , in impression of a lot of people " raise that " it is a vocabulary that contains contemptuous character, the Japanese army is invaded China during ever such appellation cross us, say to also be concerned with ancient India, later expert textual research, appear for the first time among sutra similar " raise that " vocabulary, the pronunciation among Sanskrit is roughly " "cina " .
