There will be local movements in any historical period, whether the dynasty is strong or weak. In ancient China, local movements could not have been more frequent.
Whether it was during the Tang Dynasty, which was at its peak, or during the Kangqian Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, there would be local movements. Whether the country is rich or poor, there will be local movements. This has little to do with whether the state is strong or not, but because of the distribution of social classes in ancient times, most of the time in the feudal period, which is an inevitable process in the process of social development.
But in such a place, there is such a country not far from China, and it can be said that there have been very few local movements in the process of development.
Traditional Chinese culture has always discussed the idea of valuing peace, but in fact, it is not the case, Chinese is good at infighting, in the bones is extremely admiring of force, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the monarch implemented a high-pressure policy. Increasing the burden on the people and implementing strict policies of power, the people's lives are miserable, and many innocent people are forced to leave their homes where they have lived all their lives and live a life of upheaval and displacement. This led to their consciousness awakening when they stood up and resisted, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's movement was more prominent, and under the oppression of the feudal class and the landlord class, they decided to carry out the resistance to the end. Not yielding is a kind of bloodiness that fills Chinese bones. Even if sacrifices are inevitable in the end, this belief in fighting for freedom will last forever.
In Japan, the national hierarchy is more obvious, identity and status are within their boundaries, which has even become their belief, Japan's constitutional monarchy system still exists, the monarch is more generations, even now, the monarch has little power, but always as a faith. The same is true of the officials and nobles of the imperial court, all of whom are concentrated in those families, known as the "Five Regents", and Guan Bai's position is rotated in turn, so that there will be no contradiction of power, and it is relatively stable and unlikely to occur in the lower class movement.
Looking back at our China, it has always existed, and the ideology of the monarch as a subject and the different levels of the emperor is deeply rooted. People at the bottom want to change their destiny by passing the exam and going to their careers. In contrast, the samurai of Japan are more stable and honestly do not expect much change.
Of course, there will be more or less samurai who hope to ascend to a higher status through military achievements, and the more famous one is Toyotomi Hideyoshi, although he opposed many traditional aristocratic forces, he did not have the idea of replacing it, always put the monarch first, and even called himself the descendant of the monarch, which is really funny enough, in fact, this idea was the mainstream of Japanese society at that time, and the monarch was regarded as his ideal and belief. Even if the monarchs make it impossible for them to survive, they will not resist.
The largest movement that took place in Japan at that time was the so-called Ichijinshi, which turned out to be only to rebel against the daimyo and carry out the movement under the leadership of the religious master. The people involved must also be people who have eaten the last meal and do not know where the next meal is, as long as the religious lord tells them to go wherever they go, eager to achieve their happiness in this way, not knowing that these people are only used by these people who nominally carry the banner of religious benefit, and if they are used again, they will still be oppressed as before.
Japan's resistance movement can only be regarded as a small fight in the face of the ancient Chinese local movement, and the scale of this movement is not even a drill, and look at the several movements in ancient China, which did not sweep most of the country, implicate dozens of provinces, and how many places participated in it. Japan's land area is also too small, and even if a large-scale movement occurs, it can only be counted as a small county uprising.
This kind of movement does not have to be reported in Japan, and we all know that these sports organizers are grasshoppers after the autumn, and it does not take long to stumble before it fails. The dynastic changes in ancient China were more often the struggle of these generals and localities against oppression, and the realization was pushed to the imperial court, and the scale also evolved from local areas to large-scale, and the people of other regions responded to the road of resistance. This has to be said to be a difference in culture, concept and social development between the two countries.
