Japanese royal family
Sunjong, the last emperor of the Korean Empire, lived in Changdeokgung Palace as a member of the royal family during the Japanese colonial period. When Changdeokgung Palace was destroyed in a fire, he lived in Nakseonjae, which was left over from the fire, but when asked to move to Deoksugung Palace, he reprimanded Lee Wanyo, saying, ``You can't move because it's Changdeokgung Palace, which was given to us by His Majesty the Emperor.'' did.
King of King's Love, New Year's Eve, Japan, Japan
Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, lived in the Forbidden City during the Xinhai Revolution in exchange for his abdication. The Xinhai Revolution was a collaboration between Japan and Sun Yat-sen. At the time of the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan, Puyi converted the treasures in the Forbidden City into gold and entrusted a large amount of donations to Kenkichi Yoshizawa. After Yuan Shikai's death, Puyi was expelled from the Forbidden City, placed under Japanese protection, and became Emperor of Manchukuo. The Qing Dynasty was an enemy country of Japan that fought in the Sino-Japanese War.
Let's do it again in Japan.
There are a small number of countries that cry out that Japan has invaded or invaded without drawing much attention to this kind of Japanese thinking. At least the former monarchs of these countries were treated respectfully and protected by Japan. China itself expelled the Qing dynasty's Ai Xinjuo Luo clan.
Read it together
Japan that supported the Xinhai Revolution, Japan that protected the Last Emperor, and China that followed the West.
China's history is 72 years
Xinhai Revolution was carried out with support from Japan
The Last Emperor who sent donations for the Great Kanto Earthquake
Japan protected the exiled Puyi
Did China follow Sun Yat-sen's will
It is said that China has a history of 4,000 years, but that would be wrong. The People's Republic of China was established in 1949, so it is now 72 years old. At least since the founding of the Republic of China, it has been China, and Xi Jinping said at the 110th anniversary commemoration of the Xinhai Revolution that it is the People's Republic of China that will inherit Sun Yat-sen's will, but it is still 110 years old.
It is correct to say that human history has existed in what is now China for 4,000 years. Mainland China is an area where different ethnic groups founded various countries and then disappeared.
Sun Yat-sen was a person who learned about Japanese society and the Meiji Restoration when he defected to Japan, and succeeded in the Xinhai Revolution. They were supported by Japan's Takeshi Inukai and Toten Miyazaki. Sun Yat-sen said, ``Japan's Restoration was the cause of the Chinese Revolution, and the Chinese Revolution was the result of Japan's Restoration,'' and ``The two were originally connected to achieve the restoration of East Asia.''
In that case, wouldn't it be Sun Yat-sen and his supporters from Japan that created the current China?
It was Japan that supported the Xinhai Revolution, and Sun Yat-sen also inherited Japan's hopes for the restoration of East Asia.
Aixinjue Luo Puyi was the last emperor of China, the Xuantong Emperor, and is the so-called Last Emperor. After the Xinhai Revolution, Puyi made living in the Forbidden City a condition of his abdication. When Japan was struck by the Great Kanto Earthquake, Puyi announced that he would send donations to Japan, including a large amount of jewelry from within the Forbidden City.
Afterwards, the Beijing Coup occurred and Puyi was expelled from the Forbidden City, but Japan protected him. He approached Kenkichi Yoshizawa for protection through donations. Puyi was then protected by the Japanese concession of Tianjin.
After Japan's Kwantung Army conquered the Manchuria region, Puyi became the first emperor of Manchukuo. Although Manchukuo existed as a puppet government of Japan, Puyi lived as emperor again until the Soviet Union entered the war.
When thinking about who inherited Sun Yat-sen's will, it is not the People's Republic of China, assuming Sun Yat-sen's words, ``The two are originally connected as one and will achieve the restoration of East Asia.'' That's clear. The Chinese Communist Party is an anti-Japanese force, and current China is an anti-Japanese nation.
And even though China is in Asia, has it not sided with the West in its efforts to colonize Asia?
China sided with the West in World War II. The Potsdam Declaration was jointly signed by the United States, Britain, and China.
Let's go outside and see the light company.
Izumo Taisha is a shrine that is famous both in Japan and among overseas tourists. Many tourists visit from Japan and abroad. The reason is magnificent, and the scenery is truly art itself. In the first place, Izumo Taisha Shrine was built for the god Okuninushi, who surrendered the country. This is a story from Japanese mythology.
A man's life and a great god of heaven
At first in Japan, Izanagi's son Susanoo no Mikoto was banished from the heavenly world (Takamagahara) and landed on earth (Ashihara no Chugoku), where he expanded his country. Okuninushi is his descendant. In the first place, it was Amaterasu Omikami who was ordered by Izanagi to rule the earth, but in order for Amaterasu Omikami's grandson to come down to earth to create a country, he sent Takemikaraijin to earth in advance and ruled the country. Concession negotiations will take place.
Japanese language and Japanese culture
Takeminakata, the second child of Ōkuninushikami, resisted and was cornered by the battle with Takemikaraijin and would not leave the province of Shinano, so he asked to be allowed to live here, and was enshrined in the province of Suwa. This is Suwa Shrine in Nagano Prefecture. As a result, Okuninushi committed suicide, saying that if he would build a palace in the country of Izumo, he would serve him from a faraway world. It is said that Izumo Taisha was built there. In response to this broken myth, he built Izumo Taisha, which still stands magnificently in modern times. There is no doubt that this is Japanese culture.

Will the issue of separate surnames for married couples change the concept of family in Japan?The issue is not gender equality but the concept of ``home'' that is unique to Japan.
The issue of selective marital separation has recently become a hot topic in Japan. Japan is the only country in the world that has a family registration system that stipulates husband and wife status by law.
A growing number of people are arguing that this is gender discrimination and that it is acceptable for couples to have different surnames. The origin of the problem is that when a woman gets married, she usually takes the man's surname, so it is difficult to use her maiden name at work, or to change information in social procedures, banking, and various other contracts.
However, it is logically incorrect to view this as gender discrimination. This is because under the current law, equality is guaranteed because the surname must be chosen from either a man or a woman. The question becomes what it means for a husband and wife to use the same surname.
In Japan, the concept of family has been around since ancient times, and when you get married, you move into a family. A married woman moves into a man's house and becomes part of his family. There is a cultural background that makes her a member of the family, including her ancestors. The child born there will take the family name of that family. Uji means belonging to the same group, and dates back to the surname system in ancient times.
Japanese people are taught to respect the concept of home and to act in a way that lives up to the name of home. A family crest is a symbol of a family.
In the West, the idea seems to be a little different. Children seem to think that they belong to both the father's and mother's families. In this case, there are four grandfathers and grandmothers, and they belong to the four people. I wonder if the next idea will be to belong to eight people. If you go back in time, you will belong to 100 people.
In other words, the way of thinking about Japanese houses is completely different. In Japan, people search for their ancestors by tracing one family line. In this respect, the opinion that we should refer to Western countries seems to be a rather wild opinion.
Japan has the imperial family as a symbol of the family. The issue of separate family names for married couples and the issue of male lineage inheritance seem to be unrelated, but they are closely related.
The imperial family has stubbornly protected the traditional Japanese concept of home. Joining the imperial family means joining the imperial family. As a unique entity, the imperial family does not have a clan. When a male member of the imperial family marries, the woman he marries loses his family name.
This is stipulated in the Imperial House Law, but when a female member of the imperial family marries and becomes a commoner, like Her Imperial Highness Princess Mako, or a former female member of the imperial family says she does not want to take her husband's name, she is considered a commoner. If current laws are followed, will women remain members of the imperial family? Or will they live a normal life without having a surname?
The Liberal Democratic Party is reluctant to promote separate marriages. This is also because we see it as a problem not with gender equality, but with Japan's unique cultural background and the concept of the Japanese home, which is the foundation of society. Japan has an imperial family that has been connected uninterrupted since recorded history, unlike any other country in the world. Japan has a history of following this model of inheritance.
Japanese cuisine that brings out the taste of ingredients.Japanese unique evolution without spices.
Japanese food is said to be unique.Japanese food uses very little spice.The West colonized Asia for spices.In Western cuisine, pepper is a magic powder used to eliminate the smell of meat, and pepper is indispensable for preserved meat such as pancetta.It is said that Japan did not have access to spices because it was closed to the country at that time, but since the Meiji Restoration, there have been no dishes that use a lot of spices.South Korean food is rich in chili peppers, which came from Japan when Hideyoshi went to Korea.Soy sauce comes from China.The distinctive difference between Chinese and Japanese cuisine is that Chinese cuisine uses a lot of oil, but the Japanese don't like it.As a result, it led to the longevity of the Japanese.
The basis of Japanese cuisine is soup stock.In Japan, umami ingredients derived from seafood are historically used.Glutamic acid, the ingredient of Ajinomoto, was discovered by a Japanese, Ikeda Kikunae, and is said to have made world cuisine delicious.Glutamic acid is one of the delicious ingredients, which is also derived from the exploration of the taste and ingredients contained in Japanese ingredients.
In 1907, Ikeda Kikunae succeeded in extracting sodium L-glutamate from kelp.
In the West, the concept of soup stock includes French cuisine using consomme soup.In Italy, fish and shellfish are boiled down or fried as toppings, so you can get soup stock as a result.Boil down the ingredients in soup and you'll get the soup stock.The world-famous soups are Borscht and Tom Yum Kung.
Many foreigners say that Japanese sushi is delicious because it is fresh, but that's not the case.At high-end sushi restaurants, tuna is matured with the restaurant's technology for a reasonable period of time and sushi is made with ingredients that bring out sufficient flavor.Since there were no spices in Japan, it is the present state by pursuing technology and harmony that fully brings out the taste of the ingredients.This is one of the unique dishes in the world.
Japanese food has developed into its own style because spices did not enter Japan during the long period of isolation.
South Korea, which tries to equate the Rising Sun flag with Hakenkreuz, is completely unaware of its history and meaning.
Japan's national anthem, ``Kimigayo,'' is based on an unknown tanka that was published in the Kokin Wakashu of the Heian period. It's a song whose author is unknown. In the Kokin Wakashu, it says, ``My lord will ripple through a thousand and eight thousand generations until he becomes a rock of stone and becomes a child of moss.'' Who this ``my lord'' refers to is a hot topic, but the original meaning of this poem is ``You... It means "May you live a long and healthy life forever."
This song has been sung during birthdays, weddings, and celebrations of life milestones throughout Japan's long history. After the Meiji Restoration, it was put to music and performed as a song wishing for the long life of the Emperor. In other words, this era was the song of the Meiji Restoration. After that, Japan entered the war, and some forces denounce this as a symbol of militarism, but it only describes Japan for a short period of time in its long history.
A similar story can be said about the Rising Sun flag. There are various theories about the design of the Rising Sun flag, but one theory is that it is a legend that Amaterasu Omikami, the sun god, came out of a rock and the sun returned to this world. The legend of Iwato dates back to the time of the first Emperor Jinmu. In this way, the rising sun pattern has been used for various celebrations since ancient times in Japan, and when Japan entered World War II, it was adopted as the flag of the Japanese military. In other words, it is merely an explanation of Japan for a short period of time.
Considering this timeline, the Hakenkreuz was first the party flag of the Nazi Party, which then became the national flag. The reason why the swastika was adopted as the flag of the Nazi Party is that the swastika, which was painted on the ruins of Troy, was thought to be a symbol of the Aryan race and was adopted.
In other words, the national symbol associated with the idea of a chosen people coincided with the thinking of the Nazi Party, which advocated the principle of Germanic first, and became a symbol of the genocide of the Jews. In other words, this flag was adopted based on the consistent ideology of the chosen people.
Please tell Professor Seo Kyung-deok, who has never studied history, a little bit.
The founding of Japan as seen from legends - The nation was unified by becoming subjects of the imperial line, rather than by the concept of national borders or ethnicity.
In mythology, the country of Japan is said to have originated from Awaji Island, where Izanagi and Izanami created islands from the drops that fell from the tip of their spears. The place where Ninigi no Mikoto's descendant descended is said to be Mt. Takachiho, which straddles Kagoshima and Miyazaki, and the legend of the founding of Japan first begins in western Japan.
During the pacification of Ashihara China, Ameno Kagase, who resisted the imperial lineage to the end, is said to have been cornered by Futsunushi and Takemikazuchi to the edge of what is now the Boso Peninsula, and Takemikazuchi was in Ibaraki Prefecture. There is Kashima Shrine, which is dedicated to the god of thunder, and Takemi Raijin is also known as the god of sumo. It is said that even the powerful Tsunetsu Nushikami and Takemika Raijin were unable to subdue Amatsu Onsei, and in the end it was subdued by the god of textiles named Takehazuchi. A male god is enshrined here.
For this reason, Chiba and Ibaraki prefectures are dotted with many Hoshigami shrines that enshrine Amatsu Onsei, who was a force of resistance to the imperial lineage. It is ironic that Kazuo Shii is a resistance force against the current imperial lineage, and that Shii Kazuo is from Yotsukaido City in Chiba Prefecture, that left-wingers have immigrated from all over the country during the Narita Struggle, and that powerful people of the Ritmin movement are from Chiba Prefecture.
Based on this premise, the current Tohoku region and Hokkaido are not included and are called Ezochi. Afterwards, Ezo was pacified and incorporated into Japan. What is important here is the criterion of whether or not a person becomes a vassal of the imperial line or not, and the current concept of borders and ethnic groups under international law does not exist in the first place.
It is said that many ethnic groups have come and lived in Japan since the Jomon period, and in Gishi Wajinden it is written that Wakoku was in contact with Inuya Korea, and in the Book of Later Han, it is said that Wakoku was in contact with the country of the peninsula by land. There are possible descriptions. It is said that Wakoku extended to part of the peninsula. There is also a theory that Wakoku was actually involved in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, and although they deepened their friendship with Baekje and participated in the Battle of Hakusonko, they were defeated, and Japan accepted the Baekje people as refugees.
Historically, the prerequisite for being Japanese was whether or not a person would become a subject of the imperial line. Based on this premise, the first article of the Japanese Constitution states that the Emperor has been the symbol of Japan from the time the country was born to the present day. As a result, Japan is the country with the longest history in the world.
As a side note, Governor Denny Tamaki of Okinawa has no interest in what Japan is, he seems to have no interest in Japanese history, and he seems to have no intention of obeying the imperial line or the Japanese constitution.
In Japan, there is a ``misunderstanding'' that the inclusion of the ``Kojiki'' in school education violates the constitution, which prohibits religious education.
When asked about the idea of teaching the Kojiki in compulsory education, I was surprised to find that even self-proclaimed conservatives became so passionate about counterarguing it. When I asked the basis for this objection, I was told that the ban on religious education is written into the Constitution. And it seems that there are many people who are poisoned by the self-deprecating historical view that Shinto led to the Greater East Asia War. These people have no understanding of religious education.
Legal opinions have already been issued regarding religious education under the Constitution, and education should not promote a specific religion or exclude or deny a specific religion. Alternatively, the view is that it is education that recommends one to take refuge in some kind of religion, or that it is education that says one should not devote oneself to some kind of religion. Simply put, it's just that education that propagates or excludes religion is no good.
I wonder if Christianity comes up when explaining Michelangelo's murals. If you look at The Last Supper, would you explain who the person in the center is and what kind of circumstances the painting depicts? Why do we know that the founder of Islam was Muhammad and that the founder of Buddhism was Buddha? In other words, in Japan, we firmly believe that such things should not be taught only in Japanese Shinto.
Japanese people know the story of Golgotha Hill and the story of Adam and Eve, but they do not know what kind of being Amaterasu Omikami is or what kind of being Qiong Qiong-no-Mikoto is. It is said that there are more than 80,000 shrines across Japan, which are said to be the most religious facilities in any country in the world, but these should not be explained.
In other words, the interpretation of Japan's ban on religious education is that only Japanese Shinto should not be mentioned. Or there are teachers of the Japan Teachers' Union who are poisoned by a self-deprecating view of history and give off-the-record lessons as if Shinto led to war, showing the children a sense of justice that does not advocate Kimigayo. This is Japanese religious education. Far from being dangerous, there is no other religion as peaceful and tolerant of other religions as Japanese Shinto. On the contrary, GHQ feared the Japanese's familial view of the nation and their unbelievable power of integration, and simply eliminated the Shinto religion at its core.
Isn't Japanese Shinto necessary to teach Japanese culture? Because they are not taught, they cannot learn deeply about Japanese culture. There is no law that prohibits explaining the religious background that is a prerequisite for studying a culture.
