Yasukuni Shrine: It is only the product of Emperor Meiji's consolidation of imperial power, why is it so hated

When it comes to the Yasukuni Shrine, every Chinese with a conscience can't help but turn up the national shame buried deep in their hearts and grit their teeth in hatred.

Why hate yasukuni shrines? It was because it enshrined Japanese soldiers who invaded China during World War II, especially 14 Class A war criminals and about 2,000 Class B and C war criminals, all of whom were notorious guys with bloody hands, such as Hideki Tojo, Kenji Doihara, and so on, as well as japanese officers Who took pleasure in killing people in the Nanjing Massacre, such as Toshiaki Xiangjing and Takeshi Noda.

Under the influence of right-wing militaristic thinking, Japan did not reflect on the disasters caused to various countries after the war, but instead regarded those people as warriors and placed them in the Yasukuni Shrine for worship.

Not only that, but every Japanese prime minister has openly visited the shrine in order to cater to the support of right-wing forces and disregard the constraints of international peace laws. This proves that the wolf ambitions of the Japanese are clearly revealed.

That's what really hates.

In fact, few people know that in the early days of its construction, the Yasukuni Shrine was just an ancestral hall for the Japanese Imperial Warriors, named Tokyo Spirits, and that's all.

In the late Japanese shogunate era, the contradiction between imperial power and the shogunate had evolved into a situation of common ground. Before the Meiji Restoration, Japan, like the Qing Dynasty, was oppressed by the Western powers, but the imperial forces and the shogunate forces had always been secretly fighting.

In 1853, under the intervention of the United States in internal affairs, the Black Ship Incident occurred in Japan, which led to a complete fallout between the two major forces of the emperor and the shogunate, and the Choshu domain and satsuma domain under the control of the emperor's power played the slogan of maintaining imperial power and overthrowing the shogunate.

In order to encourage more people to maintain imperial power, the Emperor ordered the Choshu Domain and satsuma Domain to establish soul-summoning societies in various places, treating the clan soldiers who died at the hands of the shogunate as "martyrs of state affairs", that is, warriors recognized by the emperor, and stipulated that on a specific date, the emperor would bring his ministers to perform sacrifices.

This trick really worked, and many people who stood in the middle position joined the emperor's camp, and some shogunate forces also turned against each other.

In a centuries-long dispute between the emperor's power and the shogunate's power, the emperor finally won, and the shogunate became a historical term. Some of the samurai under the shogunate either committed suicide or fled, and they came to Korea and China and became a bunch of ronin who were as annoying as flies.

According to historical records, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 5,000 Japanese ronin in major cities in China.

In meiji 2 (1869), the Tokyo Spirits Club was inaugurated to commemorate the soldiers who died to restore the emperor's power. The family of every soldier is sympathetic.

In the 7th year of Meiji (1874), Emperor Meiji led the civil and military officials to the Tokyo Soul Shrine for the first time, and this huge worship activity had a great impact and also made the streets of Tokyo The Soul Shrine known in the streets.

In 1879, Emperor Meiji decreed that the Tokyo Spirit Shrine be renamed Yasukuni Shrine. The word "Jingguo" first appeared in the "Twenty-three Years of zuo chuan gong" in "I use Jingguoye", which means to make the country stable, that is, to sacrifice life and death to defend the country.

After the Japanese came into contact with Chinese culture, they learned some Chinese ideas. Emperor Meiji changed it in this way, but there is nothing wrong with it.

Emperor Meiji made the shrine the shrine a begetkan coin society.

What's the matter with the Bee ge guan coin society?

In fact, it is a shrine dedicated to the heroes of the imperial family, somewhat similar to the Ling yan Pavilion built by Tang Taizong Li Shimin for the heroes, which is the person who claims to contribute to the imperial power.

The treatment of the Yasukuni Shrine is second only to the shrine dedicated to the imperial family (that is, the Imperial Temple), which is amazing, emperor Meiji used a temple to condense all the Japanese thoughts, up to the ministers, down to the street people, who want to be able to enter the Yasukuni Shrine after death and accept the emperor's worship, which is not only an individual honor, but also the honor of the entire family for generations.

It was also the indoctrination of this kind of thinking that made the whole country of Japan loyal to the emperor and willing to die for the emperor. We can see in some films that many Japanese soldiers will shout "Long live the emperor" before committing suicide.

That is the most direct manifestation of loyalty to the emperor.

It was precisely because of the consolidation of imperial power that Emperor Meiji showed his strength and strength after the restoration, and after the restoration, he used the strength of the whole country to expand its armaments, and after defeating the Daishimizu Division, it became the most powerful country in Asia. Subsequently, the Japanese followed the Western powers to plunder China, and they did not know how to thank China for the kind of care that the eldest brother had for more than a thousand years. Not to mention that in many parts of Japan, there are temples dedicated to Xu Fu.

The original intention of the Yasukuni Shrine to worship warriors loyal to the imperial power was beautiful, but with the passage of time, it gradually changed its quality. In October 1931, the Japanese far-right organization Sakurakai planned a coup d'état, planning to kill Prime Minister Reijiro Wakibaki, Foreign Minister Kishigero Motohara, and Interior Minister Nobuaki Makino, issuing martial law and establishing a right-wing regime headed by Sadao Araki. Due to the leak of information, the coup was not successful.

But the following year, on May 15, 1932, Japanese right-wing soldiers once again staged a coup d'état that successfully assassinated Prime Minister Inuyasha, which, although small in scale, expanded wildly, laying the groundwork for a major coup four years later.

In February 1936, the military organization under the control of the Japanese right-wing forces launched a large-scale coup d'état, referred to as the "226 Incident", also known as the "Imperial Ominous Incident", although the mutiny still failed and ended, but it played a chain reaction, and the Japanese cabinet completely transformed into a right-wing military ideological group with a fascist nature after this incident. It was this group of people who led Japan into a protracted war, causing unprecedented disasters and traumas to the ordinary people of Japan and the people of Asian countries.

At the same time, under the manipulation of the Japanese right-wing forces, those who made "contributions" to imperialism successfully entered the Yasukuni Shrine after their deaths and became black tablets.

The Yasukuni Shrine has completely deteriorated.

Does the Emperor care? That's because he can't handle it.

By the late Meiji emperor, the political system of Japan had changed a lot, the emperor had become a name, the Japanese cabinet had become the new shogunate, and the imperial power had become minimal.

I wonder what netizens think?
