The conquest of Tibet by Tang Tai-tsung (627-650) brought India into contact with China by a new land-route. During the rule of this Tang Napoleon there were in Loyang more than three thousand Indian monks and ten thousand Indian families. It was through Indian "culture-contacts" that Chinese ideographs were furnished with phonetic values. As a result the Japanese alphabet was also created in the eighth century.⁶⁶
