Whenever I mention Japan's war of aggression against China, as a Chinese, I am bound to be deeply resentful and uncomfortable, and I can't bear to open the bloody history. Especially during the Nanjing Massacre, a large number of civilians and prisoners of war were killed by the Japanese army, countless families were torn apart, houses were set on fire by the Japanese army, and the whole city was almost a sea of fire.
However, during the Japanese invasion of China, the graves of these three Chinese were not allowed to be destroyed, and if they were found to have violated the order, they would be punished. Do you know who they are?
The first is the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum
Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, when the Japanese attacked and destroyed the city of Nanjing, The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum did not suffer the slightest damage, and even many citizens who hid in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum at that time were safe and sound. There are generally two theories about their behavior of not destroying the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. One is that Dr. Sun Yat-sen once studied and lived in Japan, and even had a Japanese wife, so he made many friends in Japan, so his mausoleum was not destroyed. The second theory is that in order to stabilize the people's hearts, the Japanese did not dare to destroy the idol mausoleum in the hearts of Chinese in that era.
The second tomb of Confucius
The second place that the Japanese did not dare to destroy when they attacked China was the tomb of Confucius, or more precisely, the Confucius Temple. Why didn't they dare to touch the Confucius Temple? First of all, because Confucius's status in the minds of Chinese is very high. Confucian thought has always been the core of Chinese thought, and as the founder of Confucian thought, The status of Confucius is naturally self-evident. There is also the fact that Confucius's international status is also very high. His ideas also indirectly influenced Japan.
The third is Yue Fei's tomb
This mausoleum should be unexpected by everyone, to tell the truth, there are many famous generals and many sages who have been handed down in China for thousands of years, but the Japanese only have great respect for Yue Fei. In Japan, Yue Fei is a very well-known figure. Because loyalty is a very important part of Japanese thought, and the most obvious quality in Yue Fei is loyalty to the king and patriotism. This is very much in line with their thinking, so for Yue Fei's tomb, they also did not destroy it.
