On Japan: Read Dai Jitao s On Japan .

C. Question Analysis: This question mainly examines students' ability to understand and analyze materials. From the material "We Chinese just blindly reject and oppose it, and are no longer willing to do research, almost not even want to read Japanese characters, do not want to listen to Japanese, and Japanese do not want to see it; this is really called 'ideological seclusion' and 'intellectual Boxer'" It can be seen that the author advocates deepening understanding of Japan, conducting research, and knowing oneself and the other.

First published in 1928, the book was regarded as an important reference work for the study of Japan. Even today, more than 70 years after its completion, the book is still helpful for Chinese readers to understand Japan's national conditions, national character, and customs.

I haven't read this book, but I've read Dai Jitao's "On Japan" The Japanese nation is a Chinese immigrant in the past, with Han Chinese ancestry, and culturally it has completely absorbed the Han and Tang Wenhua, in fact, the ancestors of the Japanese belong to the Dongyi people, the so-called Dongyi people are the indigenous people in the surrounding areas of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea during the Xia and Shang periods, including the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese archipelago, and the Shandong Peninsula in China, and the Liaodong Peninsula all belong to the category of the Dongyi people, and the Shinto culture is admired Just because the Zhou Dynasty overthrew the Shang Dynasty, the descendants of the Zhou royal family were divided into the territory of the original Shang Dynasty The people in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the hometown of the Zhou royal family, also migrated to the lower reaches of the Yellow River, which originally belonged to the ruling center of the Shang Dynasty, and a large number of Shaanxi immigrants flocked to the Yellow and Bohai regions, so the indigenous Dongyi people in the Liaodong region of Shandong were gradually assimilated by the Yan and Huang people from Shaanxi and Shanxi, and abandoned the original primitive worship such as Shintoism, but Korea and Japan in the East China Sea region did not have immigrants from the Zhou Dynasty, so they still retained their native Shinto culture and thoughts.

The Han and Tang dynasties were the first period of Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges, and the Japanese absorbed a large amount of Tang culture, and one of the main characteristics of Tang cultural thought was that it was more practical, focusing on the acquisition of practical interests, and thinking was relatively open, and the ethical relationship was not as conservative as that of later dynasties The life of the people is not guaranteed, and this has formed the contradictory spirit of the Yamato nation, which is drunk today, drunk today, and sad tomorrow, and sad tomorrow, and the joy and sorrow of tomorrow are separated by a line, and the pursuit of maximizing personal interests in life is the great wisdom of life and happiness in time, which is the core of Japanese national thought, life and death depend on the destiny of heaven, and people must do their best to realize their personal value in life, and the way to realize personal value is good or evil, and they never consider whether it is good or evil, because the Japanese believe that as long as people die, all evil will be resolved This is the Japanese point of view.
