This article examines the historical background to Japan's change of name from “Wa” to “Japan,” discussing reforms after the Battle of Baekgang and the activities in Tang China of Awata no Mahito, an envoy to the Tang court. Although a legend says Wu Zetian agreed to the name change while drunk, historical sources disagree on how it was actually established. “Japan” eventually became the country's official name and has remained so to this day.

Facts:
- In 663 AD, the Wa navy was defeated by the Tang-Silla alliance at the Battle of Baekgang.
- The Records of the Grand Historian Commentary, written by Zhang Shoujie during the Tang dynasty, states that “Empress Wu changed the name of Wa to Japan.”
- Emperor Monmu of Japan sent an embassy to Tang China, led by the aristocrat Awata no Mahito, to pay a visit to Wu Zetian.
- In ancient times, Japan was initially called “Wa” or “Wa people,” but later sought a new name because the character carried derogatory connotations.
- In 670 AD, when Japanese envoys went to congratulate the Tang dynasty on its pacification of Goguryeo, they expressed a wish to “dislike the name Wa and change it to Japan.”

Travel expert Gary recommends that travelers affected by Typhoon Champi during the Guangfu holiday weekend adopt a “dual-insurance strategy” by purchasing travel inconvenience insurance from 2 property insurers to potentially receive double compensation. The article details three key points: when to buy coverage, differences in benefit types, and requirements for completing a trip. It also provides a list of flight-status lookup pages for several airlines.

Facts:
- Travel expert Gary recommends adopting a “dual-insurance strategy” during high-risk periods such as typhoons by purchasing travel inconvenience insurance from 2 different property insurers.
- If both policies meet the claim requirements and cover “fixed-sum benefits,” travelers may be able to file claims separately with both insurers.
- Insurers will reject claims if a policy is purchased after a typhoon warning is issued or after a flight is delayed or canceled, deeming it a “known event that has already occurred.”
- A prerequisite for claiming compensation for a flight delay is that the trip is ultimately completed. If the entire overseas trip is canceled directly because a flight is canceled and the traveler never departs, the claim provisions do not apply.
- Before buying a second policy for travel inconvenience insurance with reimbursement of actual expenses, check whether the insurer accepts duplicate receipts or copies of ticket invoices for claims.

## Grandpa gave his grandson NT$2 million, “below the tax-exempt limit,” but after his death the estate had to pay NT$100,000 more in inheritance tax! New rules take effect in 2026; tax bureau explains why

The National Taxation Bureau of Taipei, Ministry of Finance, said that amendments to the Estate and Gift Tax Act promulgated on September 11, 2026, added a provision requiring recipients to bear a proportional share of inheritance tax on assets gifted to certain relatives within 2 years before the decedent’s death. The move aims to address the unfairness of heirs previously having to shoulder the tax alone, and reminds the public to factor future tax liabilities into gift planning.

Facts:
- The president promulgated amendments to some provisions of the Estate and Gift Tax Act on September 11, 2026, stipulating that recipients of assets gifted to certain relatives within 2 years before the decedent’s death must bear the corresponding share of inheritance tax in proportion to the assets they received relative to the total estate.
- Each donor is entitled to an annual gift tax exemption of NT$2.44 million. If there are no other gifts that year, giving NT$2 million to a grandson generally does not incur gift tax.
- The tax bureau gave the example of Grandpa Li, who left an estate of NT$40 million, including NT$2 million gifted to his eldest grandson during his lifetime. The total inheritance tax due was NT$2 million, and the grandson must pay NT$100,000 based on his 5% share.
- The amendments cover the decedent’s spouse, as well as heirs in each order and their spouses as stipulated in Articles 1138 and 1140 of the Civil Code.
- The National Taxation Bureau of Taipei, Ministry of Finance, offers a free hotline at 0800-000-321 for questions about filing inheritance tax returns.

A claim circulating online recently says migrant workers can receive 1 million in retirement benefits after 10 years of work.

- Labor insurance old-age benefits can only be collected after reaching age 65.
- The online claim that migrant workers can receive 1 million in retirement benefits stems from using an overly generous calculation method.

- The first cultural performances of the “Taroko Gorge Art and Music Festival” will be held at the plaza on Oct. 24 and 25, with music and cultural programs, as well as a specialty market and food stalls.
- The 2026 Taroko Gorge Art and Music Festival, themed “Echoes 40,” will feature a full program of hands-on craft experiences and special gifts at its main event on Dec. 5, including DIY food and craft activities.
