The secret of Japan: the ugly myth that the emperor "is a god" and "confessed" after defeat. Have you ever heard of it?
As a "tiny place", Japan was relatively closed in ancient times because it was surrounded by the sea. If closed to individuals, it can only lead to personality distortion, even when they are older, so Shinto was born in Japan, which is an inherent religion in Japan.

Shinto. See AMATERASU u.

Shintoism is an inherent religion in Japan, so the Japanese regard it as a "national quintessence", and "Shintoism" means "respecting God". It originated from nature worship, ancestor worship and witchcraft in Japanese clan society. After the confrontation between Shinto and China Taoism, it deeply realized its own shortcomings, so it absorbed the favorable parts of China Taoism and developed into a "Japanese-style" religion centered on the emperor.

The word "Shinto" first appeared in the Japanese Secret Book compiled in 720 AD. The early Shintoism reflected the ancient pantheism, worshiped many gods, and thought that Japan had "eight million gods of heaven and earth". Not only do plains, mountains, flowers, trees and other things have "spirits", but there is no obvious boundary between gods and people, so excellent people are often worshipped as gods. Looking back at some movie plots, we will find that Japanese ancestors are often deified, which is precisely because of this influence.

After Buddhism was introduced into Japan, the Japanese rulers once again absorbed the contents beneficial to Shinto, forming "Two Shinto", "Truth Shinto" and "Beijing Shinto". Since the 8th century, Shinto has gradually absorbed what is beneficial to itself from Confucianism. Until17th century, Shinto and Confucianism were further combined, and "Confucian Shinto" was formed in Japan.

Confucian culture, as a means used by emperors in China for thousands of years, is because it greatly strengthened the power of the monarch. Japanese rulers took a fancy to this point, so they spent hundreds of years learning and absorbing Confucian culture, and then labeled themselves as "the kingdom of God".

During that period, the rulers of the Meiji Restoration vigorously promoted the idea of the kingdom of God, and incorporated it into textbooks to instill it in the people. Advocating that Japan was born by God and blessed by God. The Japanese living in it, that is, "the son of heaven", are the best protoss in the world and should rule the world, which has become the theoretical basis for watching militarism launch foreign aggression.

Some people will take "descendants of the Chinese people" to hit me back, but look carefully, when will China people call themselves the best nation? "Fifty-six nationalities and fifty-six flowers", the Han nationality is very inclusive; In contrast, Japan, like "beauty is effective", has only learned the surface.

The emperor's "present God"

Of course, the kingdom created by God must be ruled by the descendants of God. As a result, the two creatives "began to be born on the land and became gods again." Among the gods, the most famous are the God in charge of the kingdom of heaven, the Harle God in charge of the ocean and the male God in charge of the world.

Zhao Tianshen is the beautiful goddess of the sun and the supreme commander. She ordered her grandson Ziqiong to rule this place from the cloud and gave him three artifacts: an eight-foot hook jade, a magic mirror and a grass cone sword. These three artifacts have become the most precious treasures of the Japanese royal family and are the symbols of the throne.

After Qiong Qiong Zun's death, his great-grandson Yan Yan took over his rule, led the army from Kyushu and marched eastward to Dahe, where he succeeded. Yan is the legendary first Japanese emperor-Emperor Jimmu.

Emperor Jimmu was regarded as the founding king of Japan by later rulers, saying that he changed from God to man more than 2,600 years ago and was ruled by God's will. The emperors of the later dynasties are all his descendants, descendants of the gods in the sky, and "modern gods" with supreme authority.

In this way, the Japanese rulers invented the myth of "divine right of monarchy".

However, the actual power of the emperor in Japan is not long. It reached its peak during the Meiji Restoration. After the Meiji Restoration, the Emperor became more and more the puppet of "Regent" and "Shogunate", and the lineage of his eternal family was also questioned by historians. South Jin Liang, a famous Japanese historian, believes that SHEN WOO's transformation from a god to a man is not only insignificant, but even uncertain whether there is SHEN WOO.

It was not until the end of the Tokugawa shogunate that the anti-curtain faction launched a large-scale anti-curtain movement under the banner of "respecting the king and rejecting the foreign countries" and "restoring ancient ways", and finally won. Established a modern Japanese Mikado system with the integration of politics and religion. However, after Japan became strong, it set itself on fire and launched a crazy war of aggression, which led to complete failure at the end of World War II.

Emperor hirohito

After the defeat, the Japanese emperor's stay became the focus of public attention. As the leader of the integration of politics and religion, the emperor undoubtedly has an unshirkable responsibility. International public opinion strongly demands the abolition of the Mikado system, and even 30% of public opinion in the United States demands the hanging of Emperor Hirohito. However, the United States wanted to use the great prestige of the emperor to rule Japan, and eventually left behind the "Mikado system", while the Japanese emperor who failed after the war only had symbolic power. The divinity of the emperor was also denied by himself in Emperor Hirohito's Manifesto on Earth.
