Many characters used by the Japanese themselves are extended or changed from Chinese characters, and they can't do without Chinese characters in the interpretation of word meaning. Nowadays, due to China's growing strength, Japan has to learn from our culture, so as to strengthen exchanges with China. The origin of Japanese itself is Chinese characters. Without Chinese characters, Japanese ancient culture could not exist. Nowadays, Chinese culture and Japanese cultural life are infiltrated and blended together.
It is for these reasons that the Japanese not only did not give up Chinese characters, but loved them more. Walking on the streets of Japan, Chinese characters can be seen everywhere, which makes people feel warm and cordial. Many Japanese even think that Japanese with Chinese characters is the most worthwhile language to learn. However, as early as 7 years ago, Chinese characters were almost cut off in Japan.
in p>1945, after Japan announced its surrender, Americans began to intervene in Japan's domestic politics. So how can we make this nation with deep-rooted militarism turn over a new leaf? Americans have come up with an amazing idea, which is to abolish Chinese characters. Why do Chinese characters make Americans so hostile? There are two reasons.
First of all, in the eyes of Americans, Chinese characters are as difficult to understand as gobbledygook, which is too complicated. Therefore, Americans think that Japanese people can't learn Chinese characters, so Chinese characters have become an obstacle to prevent Japanese people from learning advanced culture. Secondly, during World War II, the Japanese military always used slogans such as "attack by the whole people" and "1 million pieces of jade", which made Americans have a headache.
More than 98% of the population in Japan know Chinese characters. Such a high literacy rate could not be achieved even in the advanced United States at that time, so the proposal to abolish Chinese characters ended here. After this test, the Japanese government suddenly understood that Chinese characters had taken root in Japan and were hard to abolish.
