The Japanese called Kangxi "the saint of national subjugation", and Kangxi exposed the Japanese ambition in one sentence.

In A Brief History of the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese called Kangxi "the sage of the country". Why? The Kangxi Dynasty Official Records answered this answer.

& ltImg class="pgc-img-caption "In the record of Thirty Years After Kangxi, Kangxi commented on the Japanese many times. He doesn't call them Japan, just Japan. He said: "Japan is the most capricious country. He is very humble. He doesn't know that there is kindness in the world. He is only afraid of Wuwei ... so he can't be a little lascivious. " This passage of Kangxi profoundly revealed the essence of the Japanese.

& lt A courtier asked him why he was called Japan. He replied that this is a dwarf country. "Its people are naturally short ..." He further explained that the word "Japan" is subordinate to people, and the Committee is also vocal. "Wei" means "soft body", and "man" and "Wei" together mean "dwarf". The word "mouth" is from the end to the end. "Done" means "done" and "knock" means "knock". "Wan" and "Yi" together mean "broken home". He also said that the origin of the word "enemy" was recorded in the inscription of Koguryo Guangchuan Diwang Monument, in which "enemy" was used as a verb, meaning "Japanese aggression (a place name)", and then the word "enemy" was used as a noun to refer to pirates from Japan.

& ltImg class="pgc-img-caption "From these remarks, it can be seen that Kangxi saw through the essence of the Japanese" I don't know the kindness in the world, but I am afraid of Wuwei ",so he never gave a good color.

Perhaps because of this, the Japanese have great respect for Emperor Kangxi and respect him as a "saint of the country". They even translated the Oracle of Kangxi and read it as a treasure.
