As mentioned last time, before the Ming Dynasty invaded Japan in a full-scale way, it had already discovered Japan's national conditions, especially the national character of the Japanese, through espionage.

"Shame" binds the Japanese to the "moral law". Therefore, in the eyes of the Japanese, "shame" has become the foundation of "virtue". And only by being sensitive to "shame" will all the norms of good deeds be practiced, and "shameful person" has become synonymous with "virtuous person" and "honorable person".

Therefore, Japan emphasizes self-cultivation and seeks "maturity". Japanese philosophy holds that there is "goodness" in the depths of the human psyche, and when inner impulses are directly expressed in actions, it is natural to "practice virtue". As a result, people strive to practice in order to become "mature" and eventually reach the state of eliminating "shame".

"Shame" has also created an extremely distorted self-esteem among the Japanese, making them extremely sensitive to ridicule and criticism from outside, and even small or well-intentioned criticism will be regarded as an insult to their personality, and if they don't do it well, they will draw a knife on the spot. In the eyes of the Japanese, this is called "shame and courage"!

The ridiculed Japanese have two choices: one is to turn ridicule into motivation, constantly improve themselves, improve their realm and ability, so as to eliminate external ridicule and take the opportunity to retaliate against each other; Or torture oneself or others in resentment, and the extreme manifestation of self-torture is suicide by caesarean section!

There are different ways to torture others, one is to directly take revenge on those who mock him, defeat the other party and trample them under his feet, and make a name for himself in order to win back his reputation; Or vent the resentment in your heart by torturing a third person. The former has formed a culture of advocating revenge and death in Japanese society since ancient times, such as the "revenge of the forty-seven warriors" in later movies. The latter behaves like in Japanese middle schools, where older students often bully younger students.

Because they all came up from the lower grades, and they were all insulted, they had to vent their grievances on the lower levels, so that "profiteering" and "abuse" could be rooted in the hearts and minds of every Japanese, so that they and the other party could unwittingly become "sadists" and "masochists" with flawed personalities!

The "culture of shame" has created a "red tape" that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day in Japanese society, and there is no custom of asking for confession and repentance for mistakes made by Japanese people, let alone praying for atonement. Therefore, the Japanese people's refusal to admit the atrocities of invading their neighbors during World War II, tampering with Japanese textbooks, and the leaders' visits to the "Yasukuni Shrine" are all related to their "culture of shame," which is deeply rooted and cannot be eliminated at all!

At the same time, the Japanese are a people with "high self-esteem" and "a sense of superiority", because the Japanese nation will never admit its mistakes when they are "coerced". The Japanese believe that as long as they admit their mistakes, they will be "sinners" and will never be able to gain a foothold in the world, and will never be able to raise their heads in the world, and will always be spurned by the "enemy" around the world. This is also a manifestation of the "shame culture" of the Japanese.

At the insistence of the Japanese, the younger generation of Japanese has gradually become oblivious to the actions of their ancestors, and instead is surprised by the relentless pursuit and criticism of China and other Asian nation-states. Although the Chinese are a broad-minded, simple, and kind nation, apart from the "national feelings" and "historical scars" that the Japanese have repeatedly challenged the Chinese, we must not take this behavior of the Japanese lightly.

Japan's motivation for acting was improvised, and they could copy the "template" of Chinese culture and even civilization in all aspects during the Tang Dynasty, or they could quickly and justifiably rely on their enemies to heal themselves after the defeat and learn from the Americans by their enemies.

If conditions permit, Japan will use peaceful means to seek its "rightful place" in the world. Otherwise, however, the Japanese will also become a member of the "NATO" armed camp and are willing to contribute their national defense and military strength to the "NATO" headed by "US imperialism."

Although Japan's militarism has failed once, will the Japanese also pay attention to whether "militarism" will also fail in other countries of the world? If it succeeds, Japan will have another example to learn from, and it will once again go down the "old road" of "militarism" without hesitation and as a matter of course!

In addition, "hierarchy" is an indispensable and important element of Japanese culture, and it also has a profound impact on the national character of the Japanese people. In Japanese society, "each in his own place, each performing his own duties" is the basic and core of the hierarchical concept, because Japan is not only an island country with a "single nation" and a "single culture", but also has limited land resources and a lack of materials, so the living conditions there are not rich, and in order to survive, it is necessary to struggle.

In such an environment, no one can live alone and independently of the group. Therefore, the cooperative division of labor is more likely to survive than the conflict. As a result, the Japanese nation has a strong cohesion from ancient times to the present, and its roots are in its strong "concept of hierarchy" and "bushido".

First of all, the "concept of hierarchy" in Japan is embodied in absolute respect and obedience to superiors and elders. There are many "honorifics" in Japanese, and different words are used for different people and in different situations. The use of "honorific" by the Japanese is often accompanied by proper bowing and prostration.

Moreover, the Japanese do not only know who to bow to, but also to what extent? From the simple movement of the shoulders and the nodding to the highest "kneeling prostration", it is necessary to be familiar with it, because a very decent bow to one person may turn into a reckless and rude behavior when placed on another person.

Therefore, every Japanese person must learn how to perform the ritual on which occasion. "Salute" represents the relationship between oneself and others, and the distinction between oneself and others. At the heart of family life in Japan is a hierarchy based on gender, generation, and age differences, as wives bow to their husbands, children to their fathers, younger brothers to their older brothers, and girls of all ages.

In Japanese society, the elaborate and meticulous code of conduct of "bowing and bowing", although it may seem troublesome, does guarantee many benefits and reduce bloodshed; As for "obedience", it can be linked to the "bushido spirit" inherent in Japan, and one of the important contents is "loyalty".

In the strict hierarchical mode, the Japanese have an extraordinary worship of their superiors, because in the eyes of the Japanese, what the superiors say is an order, and the order does not matter whether it is right or wrong, even if it is wrong, they have no right to judge, only absolute obedience and obedience. Therefore, on the one hand, the Japanese people's sense of absolute obedience contributed to the strict organization of the Japanese, and the rapid rise of the Japanese economy after the war was largely due to the tightness and unity of its social organization.

On the other hand, it has also created the "foolish loyalty" of the Japanese, and the Japanese government, where "militarism" is prevalent, has taken advantage of the people's absolute worship and obedience to the emperor to train Japanese soldiers into killing machines and commit heinous crimes in a series of foreign wars, especially the "war of aggression against China" and the "world war"!

After Japan entered the "modern civilization" society, the absolute obedience of the whole country made the Japanese not good at independent thinking, but only relied on the instructions of their superiors to do so. If a superior fails to give instructions or has an accident and is unable to take the lead, the subordinate will fall into a state of panic.

Second, Japan's "hierarchical concept" is also reflected in Japan's habit of imposing its will on other countries. For example, during the Meiji Restoration, Japanese scholars put forward the strategic policy of "eight humerus and one universe", that is, "conquer all sides of the world and put them under one universe", that is, "conquer the world".

In the eyes of the Japanese, Japan's "Yamato nation" is the best nation in the world, and Japan's "hierarchy" is also the world's most superior social system. Therefore, for the whole world to merge into one big family and form a big country, that is, the so-called "one family of the world", this is tantamount to a fool's dream!

The Japanese believed that they had a great responsibility to save the people, so they had to conquer Korea, China, and then the world. At the same time, the Japanese believe that true peace can only be achieved in the world if a strict "hierarchy" is established in the whole world, because this "system" was proposed by the Japanese. Therefore, it is natural that the Japanese should be the "master" of this world, and the "Emperor of Japan" is also the supreme monarch of the world.

After understanding this perverted psychology of the Japanese, the world will know the purpose of the Japanese aggression. It's just that the Japanese still haven't figured out their situation, and they still subjectively think: "We are obviously here to save you, but why do you hate us so much?" And to unite against me? ”

The world could not convince the Japanese of this question, even if they said it. It can only be explained in this way: "The Japanese like to impose their will on the people of other countries for no reason, and they will inevitably be resisted by the people of other countries, because everything in this world is originally special."

It is fitting to use these four words, "contradictory character", to describe the Japanese. As a matter of fact, there is another point in the Japanese national character that cannot but be mentioned, that is, the embodiment of the contradictory character of the Japanese in "bullying the weak and fearing the hard" and being two-faced.

Both in ancient times and in the present day, the Japanese have always worshipped the strong and despised the weak. In ancient times, Japan used China as a teacher, whether it was writing, architecture, food, etiquette, religion, etc., or clothing, all of them studied and imitated China.

Why is Japan learning from China so much? Quite simply, China was strong in ancient times. In modern times, China declined, and Japan took the opportunity to rise as an East Asian power. After Japan's national strength became strong, it immediately turned its face and denied its master, and even played the slogan of "destroy China".

At the end of World War II, the United States dropped two "atomic bombs" on Japan, prompting Japan's surrender. Although China and the United States are both "victorious countries," the Japanese have completely different attitudes toward the two countries, because the Japanese have always believed that China alone cannot defeat Japan.

The Japanese believe that China only pays attention to the tactics of crowds in the war, and has no strength at all, but as for the United States, Japan is in awe.

In front of the United States, Japan flattered and even admitted that it was a dog of the United States. Therefore, it can be concluded that in order to completely conquer Japan and make it dare not cause another incident, it will not work to influence it with virtue, and the only means is to defeat it by overwhelming force.

The saying "two sides and three swords" may not be strange to the world, because the Japanese give the world the impression of hypocrisy. For example, there is an account in "The Chrysanthemum and the Knife": "During the war between the United States and Japan, the author was amazed by the indomitable indomitability of Japanese soldiers, and many Japanese soldiers chose to commit suicide by caesarean section after defeat."

However, once the US military captured the Japanese soldiers, most of the Japanese soldiers chose to cooperate with the US military and told the US military all the secrets known about Japan's strategic deployments, which shocked the US military......

Japan is ostensibly a country of etiquette, and people bow when they see each other, but this is not the original intention of the Japanese. Even when they see someone they hate, the Japanese will still salute each other quietly, and they can't see the other party's dissatisfaction at all.

This may also be found in other countries, but it is only a few cases, and almost every Japanese person chooses to do so, which is also a manifestation of his "two-faced, three-faced" personality. This shows that the Japanese are "perverts" who combine "devils" and "angels"!

In general, the Japanese nation is a peculiar nation. They are receptive to new things, but they are stubborn; both humble and courteous, but also ferocious and savage; both loyal and rebellious; both open and closed; both arrogant and inferior; Both diligent and self-motivated, but also very good at enjoyment; Both abstinent and lustful...... It can be said that the Japanese are the embodiment of "angels" and "demons"!
