Picture scrolls first appeared during the Nara period in the 8th century and are considered to be the origin of picture books in Japan. Read more about their history in this article! #ndldigital https://t.co/BRvTt2CSWn
In Tang China, there was official recognition of Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Manichaeism, but not Judaism. We have a few traces of Jewish people from the northwest frontier, but as far as I know, there is no Middle Chinese word for Judaism. We can infer that Jews lived in Tang China, but presumably as a small minority. It is unclear what if any relationship the later Kaifeng Jews had with the Tang-period community.

@Claimedparadise@JeffreyKotyk You think it's funny to make fun of a country at war, with thousands of casualties and mass kidnapping of innocent people? Do you talk that way to Ukranians and Russians too?
@AstroByMax@JeffreyKotyk Genocide? The Israeli state has never explicitly tried to eradicate a whole category of people. Don't use that term lightly and in an uninformed way. Also, the Palestinian population has been steadily growing over the years.
