The loyalty of the samurai is indeed admirable, and the authority of the emperor and the status of gods also resonate with the Chinese people. Japanese culture transplanted a part of ancient Chinese philosophy, and retained and developed it, forming a Japanese culture that shows the world. Dazzling kimonos, retro architecture, respect for teachers and Taoism, this is Japan. If the country of Japan is compared to a samurai, then he has only served two masters since ancient times. One is the world-class power in the age of agricultural civilization—Datang, and the other is the world-class power in the age of industrial civilization—the United States. The Japanese are good at learning and take traditions seriously. Of course, it also has a lot to criticize. Crazy colonial aggression is an indelible crime.
If the United States hangs the emperor, then Japan will be in chaos at that time. The power of the Soviet Union will also infiltrate Japan. Today's Japan may not have such achievements. It is difficult for us to imagine what a Japan that believes in communism would be like? Isn't nationalism reviving in various places in China today? Bonds are so important to a nation. Isn't Japan, which retains its feudal emperors, the most democratic country in Asia? China is also a democratic country. I vaguely remember the first Japanese Prime Minister to visit China, Mr. Kakuei Tanaka, Mao Zedong gave him a set of "Zizhitongjian" and told him not to believe in the Analects.
"After Yashan, there will be no China." In many respects, China, a strategic society, has begun to have a similar plot to Japan in terms of nationalism. I hope that China and Japan can learn from each other. After all, it was the United States that dropped the atomic bomb on Japanese soil.
