The assassination of Ampere Jinsan has become a sensational news in the world, and it has also aroused endless speculation. Although it is unclear whether anyone behind this incident is unknown, those familiar with Japanese history will immediately think of Japan's long-standing tradition of "Shimokagami" since its Sengoku period.
Japan is a country where the concept of hierarchy prevails, from the political arena to the workplace, from school to family, the Japanese people adhere to the principle of "each getting what he wants", respecting the inferior and the young, orderly, and never slackening. Most foreigners who are new to Japan are confused by the excessive politeness and restraint of Japanese people.
Under the respect and obedience to the superiors, there is a very peculiar tradition of "lower Kagami" in Japan. In Japan, many acts can be called lower keshang, such as subordinates replacing superiors, usurping the main family separately, killing the family lord, and the peasants expelling the samurai.
For example, the "Sword Shogun" Ashikaga Yoshiaki and the "Sixth Heaven Demon King" Oda Nobunaga in Japanese history were all murdered by their courtiers, which is the typical "Shimo kagami". Later, Japan launched the "918 Incident" in northeast China and the "226 Mutiny" in the Japanese Military Department, although the process was not the same, but it was also the large-scale "Lower Keshang" of middle and lower-level officers and soldiers who played an important role in promoting it.
Embodied in the daily life of the Japanese, the general company staff is absolutely respectful to the superior, even if they see the seal stamped on the document by the superior, they must bow and salute. Scenes like those in Chinese or Western companies where employees talk and perform in front of their leaders are extremely rare and unpopular in Japan. Once the boss leaves the job, or the subordinate is suddenly promoted, the Japanese people's way of getting along will immediately change dramatically. Friends who know a little Japanese will know that even the way of salutation and sentence form will be different. When dealing with the Japanese, we must pay attention to this, and they have applied the "two sides and three knives" that Chinese think cannot be put on the table very widely, and they are at ease.
"Shimo Kagami" is not a rebellion, let alone a revolution, And Japan has never undergone profound and extensive social changes, so it has maintained a political system dominated by samurai and privileged elites, so the Japanese have traditionally had the duality of "Shimo-dō-ism" and "Shimo-Kagami". "Great things" means following the strong, the fox and the tiger; The other side that coexists with it is "lower and upper", that is, speculation that fishes in muddy waters and waits for opportunities.
It is this duality that determines the universal standard of japanese people, when the strength is inferior, they are tolerant, and when the strength is enough, they immediately turn over and seize power. Historically, after Japan's disastrous defeat at the Battle of Baijiangkou, it began to send Envoys to the Tang Dynasty to fully study Chinese culture until more than a thousand years later, when the fangs of aggression were revealed. After Japan's defeat in World War II, it fully submitted to the United States, all of which are Japan's repeated jumps between "big things" and "lower grams.".
In the political arena, "lower gram" is more like what we call "usurpation", a kind of careerist's performance. Mr. Abe was a master of this, and he was first elected prime minister of Japan because of his lack of experience in governing, and he resigned in a hurry after only one year. But shortly thereafter, he made a comeback, becoming the first person in Japanese history to return to the presidency of the Liberal Democratic Party, and was re-elected as prime minister of Japan, becoming the second politician in post-war Japan to pay homage to him again. During the next eight years of his term as prime minister, Abe promoted "Amperotics" internally, wandered among various forces externally, and brought the "big-hearted doctrine" and pragmatic speculation to the extreme. Regardless of what all sides say about him, Mr. Abe is one of Japan's most important postwar prime ministers. Everyone will ask, has Amper ever thought about "lower gram up"? If the opportunity allows, why not? Abe once claimed that the "gentleman's leopard change" has this meaning, but the Onsa people who do not know the thick lines on the other side of the ocean understand it.
