"Fuso is already in the middle of nowhere, and home is in the east of Fuso." If we travel to Japan, we will find that Japanese architecture is very similar to the architecture of the Chinese Tang Dynasty, and walking on the ancient streets of Kyoto, Japan, we feel as if we are in China. But even though Japan has many similarities in architecture and culture to the Tang Dynasty in China, the Japanese emperor had a condition for choosing an empress that we Chinese difficult to accept.
In modern times, the Japanese have committed heinous crimes against our country, especially during World War 2, when the Japanese invaders hurt many innocent Chinese people. In 1945, the Japanese invaders announced their unconditional surrender, and since then the Americans have officially stationed troops in Japan.
When the United States first landed in Japan, they wanted to change the Japanese system and completely abolish the emperor system, at that time Japan was a developed country, and it was one of the few countries in the world with an emperor, and the Americans wanted to abolish the emperor system, essentially wanted to rule Japan more steadily.
Before the Americans landed in Japan, the Japanese Emperor was ready to launch the Jade Crush project at home, but by the time of the Battle of Iwo Jima between the Japanese and the United States, the Japanese had thoroughly understood that they were far from being the opponents of the Americans. If the Japanese and the United States fought to the end, the entire country would be completely destroyed, and later the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and the Japanese emperor abandoned the jade crush plan.
Through various intelligence, the Americans learned that if the emperor system was abolished, they would encounter great obstacles in the process of governing Japan, and the Americans made compromises and began to support the emperor system. It was for these reasons that Japan retained the emperor system, but after the end of World War 2, the prestige of the Japanese emperor in the folk had been greatly reduced.
At present, according to Japanese law, the Japanese government has to provide a large amount of activity funds to the Japanese imperial family every year, of course, this activity fund is also paid, and the price that the Japanese emperor needs to pay is not allowed to participate in the internal management of the Japanese government. After the end of World War 2, the Japanese Emperor completely lost the right to political activities.
If there is a need to hold some special meetings in Japan, the Japanese emperor can also participate in it, but there is a fundamental difference between the Japanese emperor and the Thai king, and the Japanese emperor is a "mascot" when he attends the meeting, and has no power at all.
There is also a very harsh condition for the marriage of the Japanese imperial family, which stipulates that the wife of the Japanese emperor must be very beautiful, and the husband and wife must also be close relatives, because the Japanese imperial family wants to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline.
This practice of the Japanese is contrary to ethics and morality in our Chinese, but in the eyes of the Japanese, this practice is very necessary, and only through this practice can the bloodline of the Japanese imperial family be purified. If we know anything about Japan, we will know that many of the customs and habits of the Japanese people originated from the Tang Dynasty in China.
During the Tang Dynasty in our country, Japan sent a large number of envoys to study China's traditional culture, but in the process of studying, the Japanese envoys did not understand our real traditional Chinese culture. If they look deeply, they will know that China will never allow this kind of incest to happen, and whether in ancient or modern society, this kind of incest will be spurned by the whole society.
Medical research has shown that the marriage of close relatives will cause adverse consequences for offspring, and the children born of marriage of close relatives often have some congenital diseases. But the Japanese imperial family has never paid attention to this, in order to maintain the purity of the bloodline, it can be said that at any cost, the Japanese imperial family men must have the blood of the imperial family when choosing a wife. Until modern society, the Japanese imperial family still retains this custom.
The occurrence of this phenomenon directly led to the Japanese emperor when choosing a spouse, no matter how beautiful the woman looked, as long as the woman did not have the blood of the royal family, the Japanese emperor could not marry her as a wife.
With the continuous development of society, the wife of the previous generation of Japanese Emperor Showa was just an ordinary woman in Japanese folklore, and the Japanese emperor was under great pressure when he married her. If the Japanese emperor had real power in the country, they would also become a very effective ruler in the future, but Japanese customs and habits forced the Japanese emperor to choose to marry a close relative.
The custom of the Japanese imperial family makes many of our Chinese unacceptable, such a marriage system is extremely unfavorable to the development of a family, it is likely to make a family completely broken, close relatives have too many unfortunate cases of marriage, so the Japanese imperial family is also constantly changing this system, but for the Japanese imperial family without real power, there is still a long way to go.
