I accidentally looked at my little niece's "Xinhua Dictionary", and sure enough, the simplified interpretation of the character 倭字 was called Japan in ancient times. It is typeset to the bottom corner and does not seem to be noticed. I remember that there used to be a word behind it, 倭寇, which was interpreted as the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the late period of the shogunate's rule, and some samurai in Japan declined, becoming Japanese ronin entangled local corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the southeast coast of China to harass the military and civilians, doing all kinds of evil, seriously endangering the safety of the military and civilians, collectively known as the wokou. That's probably what it means, because I used to watch movies, I didn't know what a wokou was, and I specially checked the dictionary, so I was particularly impressed. Now this is the unified version issued by the school, and it is published and distributed by the Commercial Press, which is known for its academic rigor, with 13 years of planning and revision, 15 years of start-up, and 20 years of publishing the first edition. Today's children, it is estimated that few people know the word wokou, in a few decades, it is estimated that no one knows this word and this history, what can we ordinary people say?
