"Qin Shi Huang" once said: "The fight has been swept away, and Han Fei is still relying on Ling." "After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin Shi Huang created a new society, and his political ideas continued for thousands of years, even spreading overseas, and had a profound impact on other cultures.
For every country, the national anthem has an irreplaceable significance, as an important part of the image of the symbol of the country, through the understanding of the national anthems of different countries, the world can appreciate the cultural form and national development concept of this country.
If you look at the National Anthem of Japan, you will find that unlike the Chinese national anthem, the Japanese national anthem has only twenty-eight lyrics, and it is very coincidental that these twenty-eight words are exactly the same as the words of Qin Shi Huang. What is the significance of the national anthem for Japan? What is the content of the Japanese national anthem related to which sentence of Qin Shi Huang?
In the general impression of people, if Qin Shi Huang had not sent Xu Fu to Japan, presumably the level of cultural development in Japan would not have reached the current height. Through the analysis of japan's domestic cultural history, it will be found that long before Xu Fu arrived in Japan, japan had its own cultural type.
There are many different types of myths and legends about the cultural origins and history of Japanese society, and in the process of development since then, Japan has experienced more than ten eras of changes. Based on the development requirements of different times, the Japanese people have a clearer plan for the future of the country.
Despite this, Japan was once a small country far behind the Central Plains.
Compared with China, which is vast and rich, Japan has a small land area and very limited resources at its disposal
In this case, Japan did not enter the agricultural civilized society like China, but always in an environment of strife and division.
For the former Japanese rulers, they believed that the only way to consolidate their rule was to suppress the people by force, and the development of Japanese society was slower and slower under the long period of oppression. However, the development dilemma of Japanese society has not been perpetuated.
When the Western world invaded Japanese society, Japan achieved a general change within japan.
During this phase,
Under the influence of a British teacher, the Japanese military band began to write the national anthem.
In order to better compose the national anthem, the military band entrusted the task of composing the lyrics of the national anthem to Oyama rock, which has a certain understanding of both Japanese and Central Plains culture.
ultimately
In 1880, at the birthday banquet of Emperor Meiji, the national anthem, "The Dynasty of The King", was officially unveiled.
For the development of Japanese society, the birth of the national anthem represents a new stage for them, which also makes many people very curious about the Japanese national anthem.
By understanding the lyrics of "The King's Generation", after translating it into the vernacular, the lyrics are:
"My Emperor's imperial rule has been passed down for thousands of generations, all the way to eight thousand generations, until the small rock becomes a huge rock, until the giant rock grows moss."
By analyzing the lyrics of the Japanese national anthem, the world can feel the ambitions of the Japanese rulers. For the Japanese rulers, they were very eager to continue Japanese rule into eternity, and the ideas embodied in the lyrics of "The King's Generation" are similar to the ideas of Qin Shi Huang in ancient Chinese society.
In the "Records of History", a famous quote of Qin Shi Huang was recorded:
"Become the first emperor, the future generations are counted, and the world is infinite."
For Qin Shi Huang, he successfully unified the world by virtue of his own strength and established the first great unified dynasty in the Central Plains. For Qin Shi Huang at the beginning of his reign, he had lofty ideals and ambitions in his heart, and in this case, he hoped that the rule of the Qin Dynasty could continue for thousands of years, ten thousand years, and even eternity.
On the one hand, the reason why the lyrics of "The Emperor's Dynasty" are so similar to the remarks of Qin Shi Huang is also based on the influence of the Central Plains civilization on Japan. whereas
On the other hand, Qin Shi Huang's words and the lyrics of "The King's Generation" both reflect the ambitions of the rulers, and there is a certain similarity between the two that can be understood.
From ancient times to the present, the rulers of various countries have far exceeded the ambitions of ordinary people, and it is based on the guidance of such ambitions that the country's development path can be continuously promoted.
Although many people think that Japan is relatively small in size and lacks internal resources, through in-depth understanding of Japan's development history, the world can also feel the ambition shown in the lyrics of "The King's Generation". Perhaps in the days to come, Japanese society will be able to achieve long-term development as depicted in the national anthem.
epilogue
Through the analysis of Qin Shi Huang's words and the content of the song "The King's Generation", the world will experience the development ambitions of different countries. Nowadays, the peoples of all countries have realized the importance of peace, which has also led to the effective relaxation of relations between countries.
I believe that under the influence of modern thought, one day, the Japanese side will recognize the mistakes it has made and strive to make corrections to make up for the harm caused to other countries.
