There is a saying in "Let the Bullets Fly", "Cut yourself with a short knife, and the long knife is used to introduce the wrong person." This is a small popular science of Japanese caesarean culture, and it also highlights Jiang Wen's understanding of Japanese culture. The caesarean section of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, it is indeed very exquisite, not to take a knife to cut yourself, the Nature of the Japanese is to like to be poor and exquisite.
(1) The operation of abdominal incision
In "Let the Bullets Fly", Huang Silang forced Zhang Mazi's righteous son Liuzi to die through Hu Wan, and set up a feast at the Hongmen Gate in the watchtower to invite Zhang Mazi and Ma Bond (or Master Tang) to the banquet. At first, Huang Silang handed Zhang Mazi a short knife and said that if he really wanted to say that his subordinates had forced the county magistrate to die, that is, he would cut himself and let Zhang Mazi treat Huang Silang as the wrong person. Zhang Mazi deliberately reminded Huang Silang, saying, "Self-cutting with a short knife, long knife to the wrong person." ”
This dialogue came and went, and in the two sentences of light, Zhang Mazi and Huang Silang had already dueled. Huang Silang deliberately handed Zhang Mazi a short knife, there were two main points, the first point was to see if Zhang Mazi was an earthen cannon, and the second point was to say that he could force the death of liuzi, and it was easy to force Zhang Mazi to die. And Zhang Mazi is not an ordinary person, directly telling Huang Silang, "Self-cutting with a short knife, long knife to the wrong person." What does this sentence mean, that is, if Old Master Huang really wants to die, I Zhang Mazi is really willing to let you die, that is, I Zhang Mazi dare to kill you."
Putting aside the plot, let's talk about the operation of the Japanese belly cutting. First of all, his operation is more ritualistic. The Japanese first pierced their left abdomen with a short sword, then cut it horizontally into a "one" shape, then stabbed it from the chest into the lower abdomen to form a "ten" shape, and finally pulled out the sword and stabbed it into the throat.
Secondly, everyone should understand that the abdominal cut is very painful, so he needs someone to help him decapitate, otherwise the person who cut the abdomen will be in pain there for a long time. So the operation of cutting the abdomen, the core lies in this decapitation person, that is, the wrong person. This person must be a kendo master, and it is very uncomfortable not to be a kendo master.
Speaking of this wrong person, we have to talk about the last real Japanese real - Yukio Mishima, the other right-wingers are businessmen. Yukio Mishima was a true Japanese right-wing activist, and in 1970 he then led four members of the Shield Society (an organization organized by Yukio Mishima himself) to kidnap the division commander of the Division Commander in the Eastern Superintendent of the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force, and demanded that the officers of the Self-Defense Forces rise up to "honor the emperor and ask for adultery", and by the way, "curse the thief of the country", but the Self-Defense Forces did not pay any attention to him. Disheartened, Yukio Mishima put on the list there as "Seven Lives to Repay the Nation "Seven Lives to Repay the Nation" (the meaning of repaying the Japanese nation seven times in rebirth)" and then cut his abdomen. However, Yukio Mishima's suicide did not succeed immediately, because morita Bikatsu, who came with him, was too poor in kung fu, and although he used his famous knife "Sekisun Roku" to make mistakes for Mishima, he failed to cut off Yukio Mishima's head several times. Yukio Mishima was so distressed that he tried to bite his tongue and kill himself, but it was not until the fourth time that he changed to another kendo master, Koga Hiroyasu, and finally succeeded.
(2) Cutting the abdomen is not a joke played by ordinary people
Caesarean section, or abdomen cutting, is a high-level method of death, which generally belongs to the privilege of Japanese samurai, and not any cat or dog can commit suicide by cutting the abdomen. As a popular method of death among Japanese samurai, the abdomen cut began at the end of the 16th century (when we were still in the Ming Dynasty), when it was the so-called Warring States chaos in Japan, and the loyalty of the samurai was taken very seriously, and this kind of abdomen cutting was the most advanced way of showing loyalty.
By the time of the Edo period when tokugawa's old turtle ascended to the throne, the matter of cutting the abdomen became the patent of the samurai, and the Japanese began to form a system of criminal law and etiquette, when the cutting of the abdomen was considered by the Japanese to be a serious and solemn act, and the average person was not allowed to punish the abdomen with a caesarean section, that is, simply unworthy. Moreover, among the samurai with cut abdomen, different levels also have different ways of dying, after all, pay attention to people. In a law enacted by the Tokugawa shogunate, it was stipulated that samurai with property of more than 500 stones could be cut in the homes of daimyō (i.e., Japanese princes), but if the level was 500 stones, they could only be executed in prison or elsewhere.
(3) Conclusion
Japan's belly cutting is a manifestation of a hierarchical system, and it can also be regarded as a relatively strange expression of loyalty, for example, the Japanese military leader Anan only cut his abdomen after Japan's defeat in the war and was martyred for the Japanese military. However, now cutting the abdomen is just a kind of ridicule, mainly popular in movies and TV series.
