Excuse me, who broke the precepts of Japanese literature there? There is no Japanese version with Chinese characters.

Breaking the precepts is Shimazaki Tōson's masterpiece and novel Breaking the precepts (1906). By describing the development process of the protagonist Akimatsu Sekawa from keeping the precepts to breaking them, it reflects the entanglement between the modern concepts of eliminating hierarchical differences, advocating human rights liberation and freedom and equality and the feudal hierarchical consciousness left over from Japanese society, and also shows that awakening does not mean the change of the status quo. In the protagonist, it not only shows the resentment, dissatisfaction and resistance of modern Japanese youth to society, but also reflects their weakness.

? This is the first mature naturalistic "problem novel" with Japanese characteristics. First of all, Breaking the Ring is written on the basis of field investigation of real events, and the characters and events in the novel have direct or indirect prototypes. Secondly, in this novel, Shimazaki Tōson describes the inner world of the characters and constructs the basic plot by confessing his privacy for the first time. Thirdly, the novel expresses the so-called "sorrow of the awakened one" and embodies the delicate and sentimental style unique to Japanese naturalism. Therefore, it was praised by Sosuke Natsume as "the real novel of Meiji era". At the same time, Breaking the precepts also opened a precedent of blind self-exposure and self-sadness for decadent naturalistic literature, which had a negative impact on modern Japanese literature.
