六、选派留学生“留学生”一词源于唐代。当时,日本政府多次派遣使臣来我国汲取先进文化。由于他们是外交使节,不便在中国滞留时间过久,所以在第二次派遣唐使的同时,也选派了一些学生。这些学生分为两部分:一部分随遁唐使一同回国,称为“还学生”;另一部分在遣唐使回国后仍然留在中国学习,称为“留学生”。从那时起,“留学生”的称谓就被代代沿用下来。 Sixth, the choice of sending students “foreign students ” from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Japanese government dispatched many envoys to come to China to learn advanced cultures. Because they are diplomatic envoys, inconvenience to stay in China for too long, so the second time sent Tang, but also sent a number of students. These students are divided into two parts: one part returns to the country with the help of the Tang dynasty, which is called “still students ”; the other part is called “foreign students ” after they return to China. Since then, the term “foreign student” has been adopted from generation to generation.
