20 19 what is the Japanese new year's number? Is it from China classics?
On April 1 day, 2065438, the Japanese government announced the New Year's number as "Linghe", which was officially used from May 1 day, 2065438. The current "Heisei" year number (1989 1.8) will be discontinued on April 30th.
The New Year's number "Linghe" first came from the Japanese ancient book Ye Wan Collection, which literally means "Beautiful Peace", and it came from the preface of Plum Blossom Song in Volume 5 of Ye Wan Collection: "The early spring and the moon are in harmony, plum blossom powder in front of the mirror, and then you wear orchid incense."
Since the first Japanese title "Dahua" was put into use in 645, the past 247 titles have been determined from China ancient books, most of which are classic documents before the Tang Dynasty, such as the Four Books and Five Classics. For example, "Showing Harmony" comes from "Harmony between People and Brightness" in Shangshu. "Pingcheng" comes from "flat inside and flat outside" in Historical Records and "flat land becomes nature" in The Book of Songs. Because most of the experts in charge of choosing the year number are scholars who are familiar with China's classical culture.
The past 247 Japanese titles came from ancient books in China.
In the process of choosing the Japanese year number, great attention is paid to the publication of Chinese characters. Of the 247 Japanese book titles from Dahua to Heisei, all the titles whose origins can be confirmed are quoted from China's classical works, and * * * comes from 77 ancient China documents, more than half of which are works before the Tang Dynasty.
Among them, there are 36 titles of Shangshu, 27 titles of Yijing, 25 titles of Wenxuan, 24 titles of Later Han Dynasty, 265,438+0 titles of Han Dynasty, and 65,438+06 titles of Jin Shu and Jiutang Dynasty.
For example, the title of Meiji Emperor, which is very famous in Japanese history, comes from the Book of Changes and the History of the Three Kingdoms, in which "saints listen to the world from the south, rule the world from the Ming Dynasty, and cover all this".
The year number of "Heisei" currently used in Japan is recorded in Historical Records and Shangshu. One is "the righteousness of the father, the kindness of the mother, the friend of the brother, the respect of the younger brother, the filial piety of the son, and the achievements at home and abroad" in the Record of the Five Emperors. The second is "Yu" in Shangshu Yu Shu Dayu Mo. The land is flat and natural, and the six governments allow the three things to be governed together, which lasts for a long time. It is time to make contributions. It means "practice both inside and outside, and the world can be peaceful."
Up to now, Japan has used 247 year numbers since the year number of Dahua in the 7th century, and only 72 Chinese characters are used in these year numbers.
Among these 72 Chinese characters, the word "Yong" is used the most frequently, with * * * used 29 times; Followed by "Tian" and "Yuan", each used 27 times; Followed by "treatment", 2 1 time; The fifth place is "Ying", 20 times. The number of year numbers consisting of the first five Chinese characters is 1 15, accounting for about 46.6% of all year numbers. The Chinese characters ranked 6- 10 are "positive, soft, harmonious, long and safe".
There are 176 year numbers including the top ten Chinese characters, accounting for 7 1.3% of the total. There are 4 1 titles composed of only the top ten Chinese characters, including "Tianying", "Wenyong" and "Yuan Zhi".
