Thinking of making a Telegram Group. Desire sentients who are willing to leap occult & esoteric window in their transient space-time existence. Want sentients who are willing to learn & apply, attempt Quantum fabric changes. Beware there ain't no going back once on this course.
Historians: "Ancient Chinese considered China as the center of the world or the "Middle Kingdom" - while others as merely on the periphery."
Ancient Chinese: "India is the center of the world or the "Middle Kingdom" - while China is merely on the periphery.

A remarkable consequence of China's discovery of India was that it destroyed China's sense of civilizational superiority and self-centricity. There was a profound realization that they were in the presence of an enlightened civilization, one from which they had much to learn.
Historically, Chinese intellectuals used to consider the rest of the world as lands of barbarians, containing nothing of importance. Then they discovered India.
As soon as they were exposed to India, they were in awe. They'd never seen anything like this. Virtually every aspect of India hit as an unbelievable revelation. They stared in disbelief at the extraordinary sights of Indian thought, culture, society, philosophy, art, science, technology, education, and more. Countless Chinese students enrolled in Indian universities. Countless Indian texts were translated into Chinese. Entire departments and bureaus were set up in China just to learn Indian sciences, arts, logic, and philosophy. It was nothing short of a Cultural Revolution.
For the Chinese elite, India was the Holy Land, where people went for pilgrimage. India was literally referred to as "Heaven".
For generations of Chinese intellectuals, India was the civilizational center and China the periphery. Indeed, Faxian (or Fa-Hsien), the very first Chinese pilgrim to visit India whose major records have survived, directly described India as the "Middle Kingdom" and China as a frontier country.
Journeys to India often became legends. The most influential action-fantasy in Chinese history is the ancient 16th century masterpiece JOURNEY TO THE WEST, one of the "Four Great Classical Novels" of ancient Chinese literature, which is based on Xuanzang's journey to India. It has been adapted into countless works of pop culture including films, comics, television shows, and video games, and remains one of the most loved ancient Chinese works today.
India consequently became one of the defining forces of Chinese civilization.

All this was went beyond cope. Such was the sense of reverence that India instilled in Chinese minds, that they simply skipped denial and immediately crossed into acceptance. They openly admitted that India was the "teacher" and China the "student" - a telling metaphor that features repeatedly across Chinese literature, using literally those exact words.
Of course some Chinese reactionaries, especially among the Taoists, resisted the revolution. They were soon overcome by the Buddhist revolutionary vanguard, and often themselves saw the light and converted. Buddhism would soon receive endless official patronage, and used to justify and legitimize the heavenly mandate for imperial rule across dynasties.
