I checked the form of the abdomen again. I was previously described in Chinese TV dramas about the Japanese soldiers as thinking that the abdomen was just a dagger pierced into the abdomen. With the expansion of knowledge later, I knew that the wrong person was needed to relieve the pain of cutting off the abdomen. First level. This time, I systematically inquired about the complete method and meaning of the abdominal incision.
Stomaching originated from the Japanese suicide method, and it became popular roughly after the Heian period, that is, the era of Genpei War, when the samurai gradually gained social status. There were people who did the same in the Warring States Period in ancient China, and it is quite commendable, and it is not repeated too much for thematic reasons. In the eyes of the Japanese, there is a soul in the abdomen, so the ceremony is very solemn, and the cutting of the abdomen and the internal organs will cause severe pain, which can also prove that it is a kind of bravery and enlightenment of the party. symbol of. It is a more dignified way of death than beheading.
In addition, the ribs are not entirely used for cutting the abdomen. For example, in the case of death, take a bath, change clothes, and use a sword (equivalent to a dagger with the length of the rib) to complete. Therefore, it may be during the battle, such as the innengji temple, that the enemy was forced into the castle tower, but they did not want to surrender, and there was no suitable props on hand, the ribs would act as a tool for cutting the abdomen. Rib difference is mainly used for indoor fighting, in the case of inconvenience in swinging a sword.
The conventional method is a straight cut and a cross cut, the most standard is a cross cut, one cut horizontally, and then another vertical cut. Take out the internal organs until death due to excessive blood loss. Often the person involved has no such physical strength to do everything vertically after a horizontal cut (this is a one-word cut), so he goes directly to the next link and introduces a mistake. Mistakes are usually performed by respected kendo masters or people admired by the enemy after the defeat. To put it bluntly, the helmsman on the last leg of Huangquan Road is an assistant who can make the parties feel dignified and decent. The "holding of the head" of the wrong person is not entirely to cut off the head, but to leave a trace of involvement. This requires high technical requirements, and the main thing is to end the pain of the person involved. Of course, there are variant T-cuts and fan-cuts in the process of cutting the abdomen.
Mainly divided into voluntary and involuntary. The voluntary form is burial, or the destruction of the country (Japan is one city, one country), the aggressive behavior of the samurai. Involuntary means being gifted to death, which generally violates the principles of Bushido and is ordered by the samurai who served by the samurai.
After introducing the ritual and meaning of abdominal incision, I look back at this work by Masaki Kobayashi.
It was the era of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the three-generation shogun of the Edo Shogunate. The Hiroshima Daimyo Fukushima Masanori ordered rectification due to the construction of a huge castle tower, which was considered a motive for rebellion. The fief was changed and the jurisdiction was reduced, so that the Fukushima family was Unable to pay salaries to the samurai who served, he was forced to lay off staff. The two wandering samurai came to the Tokugawa shogunate’s core political group Ii’s to join in one after another. The samurai armor shown at the beginning of the movie should be Naomasa Ii, who is known as one of the four kings of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who serves Tokugawa Ieyasu.
From the beginning of the story, Jinyun came to ask for a visit, and introduced that it was very popular at the time that ronin used to cut his belly to ask for money from daimyo organizations and so on. The elder Jing Yi (a political assistant who is a butler in nature) who talked with Jin Yun told him a story: Before him, there was a ronin named Qian Qianyan who came to blackmail Jing Yi's family. In the end, they discussed the conclusion that it is impossible to promote this kind of atmosphere endlessly, so they found a reason to push it off, making it embarrassing for the other party to cut his belly. Unexpectedly, Qian Qianyan had to bite the bullet in this situation. Who knew that his saber was made of bamboo, and his ribs were so dull that he couldn't cut the tofu. All the samurai wanted to see him embarrassed and laughed at him with such fake and blunt knives as a samurai. After Chinchiwa learned that he was going to cut his belly, he asked for a guaranteed return every two days and was laughed at as timid. The humiliated Qian Qianyan had to take a blunt knife to cut his belly on his own. The wrong person deliberately did not hold his head and asked him to perform the abdomen cut ritual strictly. In the end, Qian Qianyan could not bear the pain and had to bite his tongue to kill himself.
Jinyun, with a plain face, said that there is no problem. Even if I know this story, I will not change my determination. If you don’t give me a job, then I will be buried in the most standard way of samurai, and the Jingyi family agreed with him. Abdominal cut request. Jin Yun said that he didn't need to take a bath or change clothes, and he asked someone with high martial arts to perform the mistake. The family elder agreed. But someone hugged him and didn't come, so the old man asked him to call. During this process, Jin Yun said that instead of waiting, let me talk about an experience, which can be regarded as a situation that the listener may face in the future.
Only then did I know that he and Qian Qianyan's father were both retainers who served the Fukushima family. They were unemployed due to political turmoil. The times are getting more and more peaceful, and the samurai is not the required role in this era. There are more and more samurai left in the society, but the job is getting scarce. In addition, Jinyun married his daughter to Qian Qianyan, the son who was entrusted by his colleague who died for burial. Because of the disaster, they had already ran out of family wealth for their youngest son. Qian Qianyan had to come to Jingi's house for help, but they didn't expect that they didn't sympathize with him, or even cared about why he had such appeals, so that Qian Qianyan, who sold his samurai sword, was misunderstood and still ordered an amputated belly. Jin Yun, who knows the truth, cried loudly, saying that I was really stupid. He still holds this useless symbol until now, and Qian Qianyan has been forced to give up his belief. If I don’t insist on this belief, there may be no need to let Qian Qian Yan took the risk. The status quo of family changes caused the wife to commit suicide, and the youngest son fell ill and passed away.
From then on, the father-in-law began to seek revenge, and even such a master would be swept to the edge by the waves of society. Facts proved that he was powerful enough to defeat the three samurai who laughed at Qianqianyan at the time, and cut off their hair humiliatingly, and devised a plan to return to the gate of Ii's house. At this time, everyone realized that the so-called illness was not the cause, but the shameless meeting of the three warriors after being humiliated. The irritated family elder asked the samurai to eliminate this lunatic. After fighting hard, the excellent samurai Tsuun roughly chopped down and crippled more than ten samurai of the Ii family. He endured his injuries and came to the armor dedicated to Naomasa Ii who founded this family. He lifted the empty shell of the samurai symbol and fell angrily. And after the musketeer arrived, he used a katana to cut himself, and with the sound of three muskets, the plot of this scene finally ended. The next narration was that in order to protect the reputation of the big political group, the Jing Yi family fabricated facts and lied that the enemy had committed suicide by amputating his stomach, and that his side had injured dozens of people, which made people speechless.
The fact is like this. The samurai and Bushido that have come in the era will eventually be transformed after the chaos to rule the world, and those that cannot be transformed will be eliminated by society. But how can thousands of warriors survive? That's why this tragedy was created by this society. From another point of view, this is also the evolution of civilization. The sword hunting command that began with Toyotomi Hideyoshi is actually a signal. Slowly, society no longer needs the role of this samurai. The armed forces that can appear to defend the shogunate can only become fewer and fewer, and all samurai across the country will face this torrent. Jinyun and Qianqianyan are just a quiver of the sea. As Jinyun hinted, my story will become a problem for you all here in the future.
The survival of the role of the samurai is inevitable, and the hot weapon musket that appeared at the end also implies that the era will abandon the cold weapon and turn it into a decorative item. Likewise, does the demise of the samurai mean the demise of Bushido? This is a matter of opinion. In the rolling of the wheel of the times, a group of samurai laughed at Qian Qianyan who had lost the soul of the samurai, but he did not know that this kind of holding on to the insufficiency would make more people stand still and cause more negative tragedies. Whether to stick to the samurai spirit or starve to death, this choice, at the time, many people couldn't make the right decision. The work of 1962, combined with the external environment, is a process in which the defeated country needs to rise again. At this time, slapped the crying infant with a slap and told him that you should stop crying and make changes that lower your own identity and work hard. Although it is severe pain, it is a good medicine. The Bushido of social consciousness will definitely die out. There is no consensus in the public to sacrifice oneself and maintain the empty spiritual norms. Just like Jinyun's angry smashing to the hollow armor that is enshrined and admired, dreaming only realizes that he is living in The dream is so ignorant that ignorance makes people refuse to let go of this false and useless symbol. But as a human individual, Bushido will disappear? In my opinion, it won’t. People who are truly enlightened will have an inner benchmark, and this benchmark will never be shown to others, because this is just their own. It's just the inner rule. The spirit of a strong and stubborn samurai, although the era is dead, the consciousness will be inherited. Just as Jinyun used a samurai sword to judge himself before the arrival of the gun, he was aloof and unwilling to accept the fate of being sanctioned.
Another thing shown in the story is the perception of public image and manipulation of public opinion. The big family has the appearance of the big family, and you can't lose face by facing a wandering warrior. That's why the elder Jing Yi family fabricated such a false fact. What is ridiculous is that none of the people who claimed to have abdomen were cut, but the minions of the staff were ordered to have the abdomen cut. So what this bridge segment alludes to is not the back of that period, but the stories and reincarnations that have appeared repeatedly in human history. Winners and losers, facts are always hidden behind false conclusions. This expression is not a mockery of his family's behavior, but thousands of families, groups, organizations, political parties, etc. who hold their face and do not let go. It can be applied after a thousand years of change.
Cut the belly, this cruel and noble ceremony is just a microcosm of that image, it will disappear and will remain, it depends on the audience's focus. The so-called one flower, one world, one tree and one floating...
