Description
Speaking of the emperor of Japan, two iconic imprints will appear in the minds of Chinese readers: one is that the "emperor" of Japan is the same as the "emperor" in Chinese history, and the difference is only the title; the other is the emperor Hirohito of Japan During his reign, he had launched wars against China, North Korea, Southeast Asia, and even the United States. The expressions in Japanese are "Fifteen Years War", "Greater East Asian War", and "Paci ic War". However, after Japan's defeat in 1945, Emperor Hirohito was neither sentenced to war criminal by the Far East International Military Tribunal, nor was he prosecuted for "war responsibility." It is these two iconic marks that have brought many questions and confusions to Chinese readers. For example, when the emperor appeared in China, the time, place, and character were clear. After Qin Wang Yingzheng uni ied China in 221 BC, he was very proud and felt that he had overshadowed the "Three Emperors" and "Five Emperors", so it is like the popular "Internet +" today. In the same way, adding the character of "huang" of the three emperors and the character of "di" of the ive emperors together, the new title of "emperor" was created as the supreme ruler of the country. Then, he called himself the "Shi Huang" again, and attributed the "Zhen" that used to be used by high-ranking of icials and nobles as his own, thus opening the prelude to the "two thousand years of Chinese emperor history". In contrast, Japan's "two thousand years of emperor history" seems vague and ambiguous, and there is always a feeling of inexplicability. From the beginning of the emperor to the beginning of the emperor, historians have various opinions. Unlike Ma Qian, a Taishi company in the Han Dynasty in China, who suffered a great humiliation, he still felt the responsibility and inherited his father's will to study history. , In the "Historical Records", the irst of the "Twenty-Four History" of the emperor, "The Benji of Qin Shihuang" was written to sort out the "iron case" of history. The next topic should be when the Japanese emperor started, and whether his irst emperor came from China's Xu Fu. Mr. Hu Weiquan gave original answers one by one in the "Chrysanthemum Dynasty: Two Thousand Years of Japanese Emperor History".
