In fact, there were many small countries in Japan in the Middle Ages, and finally the Yamato country in the middle of Honshu Island (Nara) was unified, and Yamato country became another name for Japan. Before the establishment of the Yamato court, there were many struggles for the throne, and perhaps many dynasties changed hands. However, at that time, the historical records were all based on the myth dictated by historians, and there was no written historical data to prove it, so it was unprovoked. Only China Chen Shou's History of the Three Kingdoms can be used as a reference. But the records are transcribed, not first-class or second-class historical materials, and the problem of mistranslation of Chinese and Japanese languages can be seen in this paper. Although there is a record in the History of Emperor Jimmu, it is said that "it descended from the sky, and the early capital of the emperor was China, which unified the whole country, and the emperor Li Zheng was in power and remained unchanged for ever." The world is a person's world. " One word, but the word "eternal series" was not formed until the Meiji Restoration at the end of 19, and was written into the Constitution of the Great Japanese Empire.
The emperor's time as the nominal supreme ruler of Japan is not long. Since the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate (1 192- 1333), Japan has experienced three historical periods: Kamakura shogunate, Muromachi shogunate and Tokugawa shogunate, and the emperor's power has been suspended for 682 years. Until1867 65438+February 9, a coup of "restoring the past to the ancients" was launched and the shogunate system was abolished. Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the last "general who conquered foreign countries" of the Tokugawa shogunate, was forced to declare "the return of major policies", and the Japanese imperial court and Meiji Emperor Mu Ren returned to power. From the Meiji period, the emperor's power reached its peak. Since 1868, 10/kloc-0 announced the Meiji Restoration on October 23rd (September 8th of the old calendar), Japan has embarked on a road of being ruled by the emperor and marching into a feudal militaristic country. During the reign of Emperor Hirohito (Showa), he launched a vicious war of aggression against China and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
After Japan's defeat, parliamentary democracy was established with the support of the United States. However, in order to comply with Japanese public opinion, the emperor was allowed to remain as a symbolic head of state. 1946, the United States forced Emperor Hirohito to publish the "Declaration on Earth", acknowledging that the Emperor was no different from ordinary people and was just a national symbol popular with the people. The main duties of Japanese emperors in modern times were to appoint prime ministers, approve laws, decrees and treaties, convene the National Assembly, approve the appointment and removal of ministers of state, and attend ceremonial foreign affairs activities and state ceremonies. ?
Shoto Kutaishi once sorted out the "Emperor's Commandments" according to the Taoist theory of "New Unitary Year". Nine years of pushing the ancient times happened to be a year of heart, and it was also a year of Shoto Kutaishi's reform in Turtledove Palace. The heart appears once every 60 years, also known as a round. According to Taoism, each new year is a year of change. 2 1 XinYou Year is a year of drastic changes. Therefore, Shoto Kutaishi took nine years (60 1 year) as the starting point, and then pushed 2 1 round upward as the founding year of Japan. It is stipulated that the lunar calendar 1 month 1 day of that year is the day when the Shenmu emperor ascended the pole (Gregorian calendar 2 1 February). According to this deduction algorithm, AD 1990 is 2649. As a result, the imperial system advanced about 1000 years. In this gap of one thousand years, 10 fictional emperors were artificially inserted. Shoto Kutaishi compiled Japanese history according to this logic. Later generations have continued it to this day.
The official title of the monarch of Yamato (Japan) was originally "Wang" (ruling the world). Therefore, in the official history of the Southern Dynasties in China, five Japanese monarchs who paid tribute were called Japanese kings, and in history they were called the Five Kings of Japan (Zan, Zhen, Ji, Xing and Wu). When Yang Di was in the Sui Dynasty, Shoto Kutaishi of Yamato sent Xiao Ye's sister to the Sui Dynasty. There is a saying in the credentials that "the east emperor respects the west emperor", which is the first time to use the word "emperor" in diplomatic occasions. But "Sui Shu" records evidence such as "the sun goes from the son of heaven to the sunset of the son of heaven". (Actually, the credentials recorded by Sui Shu were brought by Xiao Ye's sister. The credentials recorded in the annals of Japan are the second kind. Repeat the main meaning of greeting. And although Xiao Ye's sister lost her credentials written by China, she was not punished. Some scholars believe that according to the diplomatic situation at that time, the ambassadors of both sides tampered with the credentials and records in order to reach a compromise point between the two countries. Otherwise, Japan used the word Emperor, and China could not accept its credentials. On the other hand, Japan will not accept the downward trend of relations with Japan written by China. According to the Records of Japan, the credentials redrafted by Ambassador Pei in Japan read "The emperor asked the emperor of Japan", which is true, that is, the ambassador tampered with the credentials to meet the bottom line between the two countries. Shoto Kutaishi's biography is called "The Emperor gives the princes a book style". However, the emperor's words are an ear in the world. And with the word emperor, there is a ceremony. "Can be used as evidence. ) It should be due to the later Japanese calligraphy discipline that all titles such as "King", "King" and "Emperor Zun" were corrected to "Emperor" according to the provisions of Dabaoling. In China Taoism, "Emperor" means Polaris.
