Tang Dynasty. The Japanese nation sent special personnel to China to study and further study. China was a powerful country at the time, and Japan, in order not to make the country decline, continued to study and study Chinese culture. Even the clothes, words and deeds imitated the Chinese people of the Tang Dynasty. In modern times, Japan is a country that has been repeatedly invaded by foreign powers. Resolutely adopted the Meiji Restoration, introduced all advanced Western technologies, and transformed from passive to active in a short period of time. After the war, Japan, which was disastrously defeated, vigorously developed education and economy. It has achieved rapid economic development and achieved amazing results, becoming the second largest economic power.
Japan, from the Tang Dynasty to modern times, has been undergoing national changes from modern times to contemporary times. The entire nation was built on the basis of the Bushido spirit. The spirit of Bushido, that is, never lose, persevere forever, have no room for retreat or even cowardice, but also continuous learning and humility. Under this spiritual guidance, a nation faces either power or destruction. The spirit itself is extreme.
After Japan achieved the Meiji Restoration, the country entered the track of rapid development, and foreign aggression and expansion made Japan into a frenzy in a short period of time. Later tragedies such as the Nanjing Massacre were made in China. All originated from the instigation of the Japanese Bushido spirit. Bushido at this time was fanatical, irrational, and negative. China has always advocated the Confucian doctrine of the mean. Different values between countries are the basis for the competition between countries. Admittedly, at that time, the Confucian doctrine of the mean failed to overcome the spirit of Bushido. However, for the long-term development of the entire country and the national recuperation, the Confucian golden mean is slightly better. Because, once the extreme goes to the opposite side, it is destruction.
The influence of Japanese Bushido spirit on nation-building is manifested by affecting the character traits of Japanese men and women. Taka is a typical traditional Japanese woman. He is obedient, knows etiquette, and obeys his elders, but he has a strong and unyielding personality on the inside of his weak appearance. Japanese men are informal, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. It is not a pity to spend their whole lives for a dream. They are all tough, with iron-like discipline. Such characteristics of male and female characters make the whole country appear extremely united in the face of common enemies or to achieve common goals. Women are willing to sacrifice themselves for men. A man can sacrifice his life for his country and his dreams. Such men and women form a joint force that promotes the positive construction and high-speed operation of the entire country.
A national spirit, or a fanatical national spirit, is the most basic characteristic of a nation that distinguishes it from other nations. With the development of economy, politics and culture, the national spirit began to decline. At the end of the film, the emperor took the sword in tears. The emperor of Japan realized that economic development cannot make us forget this. Therefore, when we consider the development of modernization, should we pay more attention to the strengthening of the national spirit?
China is a country with 5,000 years of cultural history that advocates Confucianism and etiquette. The national spirit that is different from other countries and nations should be reflected in the development of contemporary state construction. It should be reflected in the fields of national policies, laws and regulations, and education. This is the most important thing that cannot be ignored in our efforts to develop China's economy and realize its take-off in the contemporary era.
