The first one: Wang Yangming, who made the Japanese bow down. Many people know this anecdote: Admiral of the fleet in the Meiji period and Tougou Heihachirou, known as the military god, have waist tags saying that they will bow to Yangming all their lives. In fact, it is not only Tougou Heihachirou who worships Wang Yangming, but also countless politicians, strategists and entrepreneurs. For example, Saigō Takamori, Takayama Shinsuke, Hisaka Xuanrui, Maehara Ichikawa, Ito Bowen, Takayama Shinsuke, Yamagata Aritomo, and the Meiji Restoration; Fujimoto, Prime Minister of Japan and founder of Waseda University; Famous writer Yukio Mishima; Mitsubishi founder Iwasaki Yataro; Shibusawa Eiichi, the founder of National Bank of Japan, is a big fan of Wang Yangming.
In addition, Wang Yangming had a far-reaching influence on both * * * and Chiang Kai-shek. * * * In his early years, he annotated the Complete Works of Wang Yangming word by word, and wrote in amazement: During these 500 years, the world was famous, and all the philosophers stayed. Chiang Kai-shek's worship of Wang Yangming is beyond measure. He fell in love with Wang Yangming because of the Japanese. According to Chiang Kai-shek's account, when I was studying in Japan in my early years, I always saw many Japanese reading Wang Yangming's Handbook on trains, trams and ferries. After reading it, many people closed their eyes, as if they were absorbed in thinking about the essence.
So Chiang Kai-shek immediately ran to the bookstore, brought back a lot of Wang Yangming's works, read and studied them crazily, and finally came to the conclusion that what Japan looks like today comes entirely from Wang Yangming's philosophical fragments. After talking for a long time, I will briefly introduce Wang Yangming. Wang Shouren (1472- 1529), whose real name is Yang Ming, is called Mr. Yang Ming. Yuyao, Zhejiang. A famous thinker, educator, writer, calligrapher, philosopher and strategist in the Ming Dynasty, Shi Yu, the official of Nanjing Ministry of War and the left capital of Nanjing Duchayuan, was named Xinjian Bo for his military achievements such as quelling the Chen Hao rebellion, and was posthumously named Hou in Qin Long. Wang Yangming (Master of Mind), Confucius (Founder of Confucianism), Mencius (Master of Confucianism) and Zhu (Master of Neo-Confucianism) are also called Confucius, Mencius, Zhu and Wang. Wang Yangming has never been to Japan in his life. How did his theory spread to other countries and carry it forward?
Japanese monks brought it. In the Ming Dynasty, although Japanese and China officials did not communicate, they both studied Zen very diligently. /kloc-In the middle of the 6th century, during the post-Wushan period of Japanese Zen, groups of Japanese monks crossed the ocean to seek Buddha and Taoism in China. During this period, Wang Yangming's literary works and collections, including the famous Biography, were introduced into Japan. During the more than 200 years in tokugawa era, Tokugawa, the dominant orthodox official school was Zhuzi School, which also came from China. It was not until Wang Yangming's thought spread to the east and Brawly, Nakagawa, founded Yangming School that it became popular among warriors and citizens. The Japanese have been using their brains to absorb foreign cultures, never copying them intact, but transforming them. Yangming school is no exception, and it was japanized by Japanese scholars. For example, Wang Yangming's Xingzhi, the Japanese pay more attention to practical application, determination, self-esteem and fearless thought. These Japanese Yangming studies have created a large number of pragmatic, proud and fearless talents for Japan's ending reform. Modern Japanese scholars have come to the conclusion that the characteristics of Yangming studies in China are almost all endowed by Wang Xue in his active entrepreneurs ... and even the great achievements of reform heroes.
Second: Zhu Shunshui, the survivor of Amin Dynasty. He is a survivor of Amin dynasty, an infatuated person who will never forget to restore the motherland until his death. He was regarded as a Buddhist teacher by the Tokugawa family in Mito, Japan. He lived in Japan for 20 years and won the respect and love of the Japanese. He is Mr. Zhu Shunshui, a adherent of the Ming Dynasty mentioned by Lu Xun in his article Mr. Fujino. Zhu Shunshui, formerly known as Zhu Zhiyu, was born in Yuyao, Zhejiang, and was a Confucian scholar in Songjiang Prefecture in the late Ming Dynasty. When Zhu Zhiyu was young, he was familiar with poetry and learned a lot. Why didn't he take the Jinshi exam as a senior official? In fact, he was the first to be recommended to the Ministry of Rites, but seeing that the world was getting worse and the political affairs were chaotic, he refused to enter the officialdom and voluntarily gave up his official career to concentrate on his studies. This is a great insight for ancient scholars. Zhu Zhiyu went into exile after the Qing soldiers entered Shanhaiguan. Although he didn't take any money from the imperial court, he enthusiastically participated in anti-Qing activities. He was the China native who went to Japan and Viet Nam the most frequently in the late Ming Dynasty, and ran for more than ten years without any results. Seeing that there was no hope of saving the country, he vowed not to shave his hair, but to learn from the aspirations of the ancients and jump the whole sea sacrifice. He never came back after crossing Japan for the last time.
After Zhu Zhiyu arrived in Japan, he was respected as a teacher by scholar Anton, gave lectures in Nagasaki and lived a poor life. Tokugawa Mitsuke, uncle of four generations of shogunate general Tokugawa, was hired as a Buddhist teacher and gave lectures in Edo (Tokyo) because of his profound knowledge. Tokugawa Hiroshi respected Zhu Zhiyu very much and personally held a ceremony to accept disciples. He was afraid to call him by his first name, and let him take his own. Zhu Zhiyu called it Shunshui in the name of Shunshui, which is also the name of our city to show that he does not forget his motherland. Since then, the world has no name, Mr. Shunshui. Zhu Shunshui gave lectures in Japan, vigorously promoted Confucian culture and became the later Mito School. Japanese scholars commented: God bless the return, Confucianism takes governing the people and connecting the world as the main road, and does not respond with empty theory, all of which are given by the water! When commenting on Zhu Shunshui, Liang Qichao also said: China's Confucianism has become the moral foundation of Japan, and it can also be said that it is the end of it. Zhu Shunshui died in Japan at the age of 83 and was buried in Ruilongshan (Ota City, Luchang, Ibaraki Prefecture). The cemetery was built in the style of the Ming Dynasty, and the inscription reads "The Tomb of Gentleman Zhuzi".
Zhu Shunshui's last words: I will never set foot on the land of China again and continue my career. After he died, he went overseas for decades, but he didn't get a division to fight Manchuria, and he didn't have the face to serve his country. From now on, I have never been satisfied with the emperor and the Han Dynasty. Seeing the buried person, it is called "the tomb of Zhu Zhiyu, a late Ming Dynasty man", which is very fortunate. The most touching thing is that Zhu Shunshui has been looking forward to Daming's recovery one day. For this reason, his life in Japan is very frugal. When he died, he actually saved more than 3 thousand yuan-that is, he hoped to restore the national fund! Compared with Zhu Shunshui's extensive knowledge, a scholar tried to resist the strong enemy and recover the motherland with his bare hands, and his belief remained unchanged until his death. This Confucian style and noble character loyal to the motherland deeply touched all the Japanese who came into contact with him, and also touched future generations.
Half: Japanese hero Zheng Chenggong said that it was partly because the Japanese worshipped Zheng Chenggong, partly because of his indomitable fighting spirit and achievements, and partly because of his bloodline pursuit. It tells the story that Zheng Chenggong borrowed soldiers from Japan four times to recover the Ming Dynasty, but the shogunate refused from the perspective of national interests, but these did not prevent the Japanese from recognizing and loving Zheng Chenggong. In 2009, a movie was made in the mainland. After the DVD was released to Japan, the title of the Japanese poster was immediately changed to "Ye Hezheng, the country's surname". Because the name of this country, Ye, is very famous in Japan. As early as/kloc-at the beginning of the 8th century, Saemon, a famous Japanese dramatist known as Japanese Shakespeare, and a group of people once created a pure glass historical drama (a kind of puppet show) called Ye Hezheng. According to the history of Japanese literature, this drama has been staged in Japan for three consecutive years, with more than 200,000 people. In terms of popularity and grand performance, it was unprecedented at that time.
The surname of this country is Zheng Chenggong. Why are the Japanese so keen on the story of men in Amin dynasty? Because the content in the play is totally different from what people in China understand. In "The Battle of Country Names", Ichigo (played by Zheng Chenggong) is completely dressed as a Japanese warrior, who keeps saying that we are Japanese. When he was fighting tigers, he said to China soldiers: You said Japan is a small country, but look at Japanese technology! Even tigers are afraid of us! With the charm brought by her mother from Japan and the prestige of the gods, she finally captured Nanjing, expelled the Tatar king and saved Daming Mountain. This drama, as well as the glory of Fujiuchi, is no different from the glory of the Japanese. It is conceivable that the Japanese in the Edo era will definitely praise the surname of this country when they see such a story of Japan's prestige to the outside world: it is worthy of being a child of our Japanese descendants! The image of Zheng Chenggong in Japanese literary works is distorted. Although the author deliberately caters to please his own audience, it is not difficult to see that the Japanese people are constantly expanding their sense of national superiority.
