Okinawa was the name after Japanese plundering, and Ryukyu was the name given to the islands by China people in China in the Ming Dynasty. Since ancient times, it has maintained close cultural exchanges and overseas trade with China, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asian countries, so its customs, culture, food, materials and architectural style are quite different from those of Japan.
/kloc-At the beginning of the 5th century, King Ba Zhi unified Ryukyu, was given the surname Shang by the Ming Dynasty, and began to build Ryukyu Village. The emperors of Ryukyu all traded with China and Japan in the form of tribute.
Ryukyu Kingdom is the most powerful at the end of 15. Shang Zhen Wang believes in Buddhism, forbids private possession of weapons, and is committed to developing trade and revitalizing culture.
Imitating Yuanjue Temple in Nara Prefecture, Yuanjue Temple in Juri was built as a royal cemetery. As a symbol of Okinawa, the ceremonial gate was built in the next generation of King Shang Qing.
1609, Samoan troops attacked and took control of Ryukyu kingdom. In order to continue to gain trade benefits, it still regards Ryukyu as an independent country on the surface, allowing it to continue to trade with China. 1879, Japan annexed Ryukyu and established Okinawa prefecture.
After World War II, according to Article 8 of the Potsdam Proclamation, "The conditions of the Cairo Declaration will be implemented, and Japan's * * * will be limited to the small islands decided by Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, Shikoku and others." Other small islands do not explicitly include the Ryukyu Islands, and are temporarily hosted by the United States.
The San Francisco Peace Treaty signed by Japan and the United States 195 1 stipulates that although Japan owns Ryukyu, the administrative power belongs to the United States. 1972 (Showa 47) On May 15, the United States returned the administrative power of Okinawa to Japan, but the US military was still stationed at the military base in Okinawa.
Okinawa was the only territory directly under the jurisdiction of Japan where the US military landed during the Second World War. At the end of the Second World War, the US military landed in Okinawa on 1945, and defeated the Japanese defenders. Okinawa also established the Yaeyama Republic, which was established only one week ago. Extended data:
Introduction to Okinawa: Okinawa (formerly known as Ryukyu) is located between Taiwan Province Province and Kyushu in China, adjacent to Kagoshima Prefecture, the Pacific Ocean in the east and the East China Sea in the west. It is mainly divided into Ryukyu Islands near Okinawa Island, Miyako Islands near Miyakojima Island and Yaeyama Islands near Ishigaki Island.
It consists of more than 60 Okinawa islands, including Ryukyu Islands, Miyako Islands, Yaeyama Islands and Dadong Islands, with a total of 152 islands (except * * *). These islands are distributed from the south of Kyushu in the northeast to the southwest until they are close to Taiwan Province Island, which is an island chain with a total length of more than 1000 km. Its scope extends to the northernmost Iwo Jima, the southernmost Bozhaojian Island, the easternmost Beidadong Island and the westernmost Honagu Island.
Tourism is the most developed economy, and tourists mainly aim at its tropical customs and leisure tourism with the theme of sunshine and beaches. In addition, the uniqueness and mystery of Okinawa culture also attract tourists to visit the ancient culture of Okinawa. Because Okinawa is on the continental shelf of the Pacific Ocean.
The surrounding waters are rich in fish, so fishing is also an industry for Okinawa people. Agriculture, mainly planting sugarcane, tropical fruits and subtropical fruits.
Air traffic has become the most important way of communication between Okinawa Prefecture and the outside world as well as in Okinawa Prefecture. The most important way for the outside world is Naha International Airport, which is located in Naha City. Baidu encyclopedia-Okinawa.
Who can tell us more about Ryukyu, the so-called Okinawa in Japan?
Most people in China are familiar with the names of Ryukyu and Okinawa, but even fewer people know that they are the same place, because our country has not publicized and educated them. In China, Ryukyu was once a vassal state of China and was forcibly occupied by the Japanese in the late Qing Dynasty.
Similarly, in the impression of China people, Okinawa is a Japanese county, where American troops are stationed. Most people don't know the specific relationship between Ryukyu and Japan, and Ryukyu has almost become a forgotten corner.
In fact, Ryukyu is not Japanese territory, although the Japanese ruled it and forcibly changed its name to "Okinawa". In A.D. 1372, Zhongshan, Shannan and Shanbei of Ryukyu surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and formally became vassals of the Ming Dynasty.
A few years later, Sun Yat-sen destroyed the other two countries to complete reunification, and Sun Yat-sen's king was conferred the title of Ryukyu King by Ming * * *, establishing the Ryukyu Kingdom in history. More than 200 years after the Ming Dynasty canonized Ryukyu, Japan took a fancy to Ryukyu Kingdom.
1609, the Japanese warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent Samo Francisco Shimadzu to extort money from Ryukyu, which was rejected by the Ryukyu king. Shimadzu led an army to attack Ryukyu, captured the king of Ryukyu Kingdom, and forced him to write an oath to send 8,000 stones of grain to Samoa every year.
Japan regards this aggression in history as a tribute, which proves that Ryukyu has always been a vassal of Japan. 1654, the Ryukyu king finally got rid of Samoan control. In order to express his gratitude to China, he took the initiative to send envoys to China to request knighthood.
At that time, Emperor Kangxi made Ryukyu King the king of quality and paid tribute every two years. 1873, the Japanese army arrived in Ryukyu, abolishing Wang Li and faking it.
The following year, Lieutenant General Saigou Jyuudou was sent to occupy Ryukyu and Taiwan Province Province for a long time. 1875, the Japanese pushed their luck and marched into Ryukyu, forbidding Ryukyu to pay tribute to China and being canonized by the Qing Dynasty, and replacing the name of China with the name of Meiji.
At that time, although the Qing Dynasty was weak, it always insisted on the ownership of Ryukyu by China. Until 1879, Japan * * * carried out the policy of "abolishing the clan and setting up a county", forcibly implemented the so-called "Ryukyu punishment", divided Ryukyu into two parts, renamed the Japanese territory in the north as "Okinawa Prefecture", and renamed the Qing territory in the south as "Okinawa Prefecture" in an attempt to force China to recognize it.
1895, after Japan stole the 36 islands of Ryukyu, it provoked the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and attacked beiyang fleet, forcing the Qing Dynasty to sign a treaty of humiliating the country and ceding it to the long-peeping treasure island of Taiwan Province Province. However, not satisfied with this, Japan once again extended its claws to three other small island groups-* * * Islands, Huangweiyu Islands and chiwei yu Islands.
Japan claimed that * * * * was first put forward by Japan, and it was only after North Korea and Taiwan Province Province got it that the Emperor issued "Order 13", announcing that * * * was "formally incorporated into the territory of the Japanese Empire" and was under the jurisdiction of Okinawa Prefecture. This is the first time that Japanese claimed to own * * *, which was later than China actually owned the island 1000 years ago! 1945, Japan was defeated and surrendered, and unconditionally accepted the Cairo Declaration and the Postan Peace Treaty. According to this agreement, "Japan can only keep four local islands", other territories annexed by force must be abandoned, and China's Ryukyu and its vassal countries will naturally be returned to China.
However, after the war, these two places were occupied by the US military. Although the United States "denied that the two islands belonged to Japan", it did not give them to China. 1In April, 947, the United Nations "former Japanese Mandate Agreement" handed these two "undetermined" lands to the United States for "trusteeship".
The United States has the intention of taking Ryukyu as its own. It not only bans the Japanese Showa year number locally, but also advocates a written language that is completely different from Japanese. Until the late 1960s, the United States avoided using the name "Okinawa" in various official documents. After 23 years, the United States finally gave Ryukyu to Japan.
The Kuomintang and the Communist Party fought from the mainland to the two sides of the strait, regardless of territory. At the moment when Japan and the United States changed from enemies to in-laws, they not only put on a pair of trousers, but also colluded with each other on Ryukyu.
Tell me about the history of Okinawa. There was once a Ryukyu Kingdom on the Ryukyu Islands. Just a hundred years ago, this kingdom had its own language.
In the Ming Dynasty, China named the ruler of Ryukyu Island the Ryukyu King. Because of the convenience of waterways, it is the trade hub of neighboring countries.
1609 was invaded by Japan. By the end of 19, Ryukyu Kingdom was invaded by Samoans in Kagoshima and gradually annexed.
1879 After the Meiji Restoration, Ryukyu Kingdom was incorporated into Japanese territory, and Okinawa Prefecture was established in the same year. It was occupied by the United States after World War II.
The United States returned Sanan Islands to Japan in 1953 and Ryukyu Islands in 1972. Ryukyu Islands are also divided into two parts: Kagoshima Prefecture and Okinawa Prefecture: several northern islands were merged into Kagoshima Prefecture, and the rest were established as a new Okinawa Prefecture.
Chronology of events in Ryukyu Islands: (year-events)12nd century-Nanshan, Zhongshan and Beishan appeared in Ryukyu Islands, located in the south, middle and north of Ryukyu Islands respectively. 1372—— After Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty issued an imperial edict to the tea capital of Zhongshan in Ryukyu, the three kings of Beishan, Zhongshan and Nanshan in Ryukyu began to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
Since then, Ryukyu has become a vassal of China. Ancient map of Ryukyu 1392—— Seeing that Ryukyu was difficult to sail, Ming Taizu showed his kindness to China's diplomatic envoys and specially gave a family of 36 technicians who were good at shipbuilding and sailing to move to Ryukyu.
This was the key to promote Ryukyu's overseas trade. Fujian people's thirty-six surnames include "those who know books, give medical treatment for a long time, and think it is a tribute;" Sailors who learn to sail are always ready for guides. "
It can be seen that they are not only good at rowing, but also serve as translators and other tribute-related affairs. After they settled in Ryukyu, they became a group of outstanding personnel who helped Ryukyu for a long time on behalf of the Ming Dynasty and promoted the relationship between the Central Plains Dynasty and Ryukyu.
Their descendants have thrived and done a lot of hard work for the people of Ryukyu. 14 16- Zhongshan wangshang bazhi conquered Beishan.
1429-Shang Ba, the king of Zhongshan, conquered Nanshan and formed a unified Ryukyu Kingdom (the first Shang Dynasty). Every generation of kings needs to be appointed by the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty did not interfere in the internal affairs of Ryukyu Kingdom.
1470-The first Shang Dynasty perished, and Shang Dan established the second Shang Dynasty. The king is still canonized by the central government.
1400 ~1550-the golden age of Ryukyu kingdom, with highly developed commerce and trade with mainland China, Korea, Southeast Asia and Japan. 15th century ~16th century-Japanese wolf ambition began to appear, and a large number of Japanese pirates harassed the coast of China (including Ryukyu Islands).
1609 (thirty-seven years of Wanli)-Tokugawa Ieyasu inherited Toyotomi Hideyoshi's ambition of foreign expansion. He sent 3,000 troops to invade Ryukyu, led by Tsukuji of Kagoshima Satsuma Island, which is adjacent to the Ryukyu Kingdom, captured the king of Ryukyu and sent troops to supervise the internal affairs of Ryukyu for 45 years. 16 16 (forty-four years of Wanli)-acting officials of Nagasaki (equivalent to the current mayor) Murayama and others were ordered by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and his son Akio Murayama led 13 ships to mobilize 2,000 or 3,000 people to invade Taiwan Province Province. This is the first large-scale Japanese invasion of Taiwan Province.
However, his actions were discovered by Shang Ning, the king of Ryukyu, and Bicai, the general manager, was specially sent to report to the Ming Dynasty. "Shi Minglu" said: "Wang Zhongshan, the kingdom of Ryukyu, sent Bicai to talk, and the Japanese pirates built more than 500 warships on the islands in your area. They want to take Jilong Mountain, and they are afraid of spilling into China, endangering the Bohai Sea, so they are moved to consult. " It can be seen that the king of Ryukyu Kingdom is still loyal to the central government.
(Keelung Mountain refers to Keelung City, Taiwan Province Province). 1654—— King Ryukyu finally got rid of Samoan control, thanked China for his kindness, and sent envoys to China to request knighthood.
At that time, the emperor shunzhi of Qing Dynasty named Ryukyu King as King of Quality and decided to pay tribute every two years. May 1853-the fleet of brigadier general Matthew C. Perry of the United States navy arrives in Ryukyu.
March 1854-Perry signs the Kanagawa Treaty with Japan. Perry mistakenly thought that Ryukyu was Japanese territory, so he asked Japan to open five ports, including Ryukyu Naha. Japanese negotiators admitted to Perry that Ryukyu is a distant country, and the Japanese emperor and * * * have no right to decide its port opening rights. 1854 July 1 1- Perry returned to Ryukyu to negotiate with the Ryukyu kingdom after negotiating with Japan, and finally signed a treaty to open Naha port in Chinese and English.
1866-Wang Shangtai, the last country in Ryukyu, succeeded to the throne. 1868- Meiji Restoration in Japan.
187 1 year1kloc-0/month-peony society event. A fishing boat from Ryukyu was hit by a hurricane and drifted to the Peony Society where Gaoshan people lived in the south of Taiwan Province Province. Some sailors were killed because of clashes with Gaoshan people in Taiwan Province province, and the rest were sent back to Ryukyu by the Qing Dynasty.
1872—— Japan openly and unilaterally declared that the Ryukyu Kingdom belongs to Japan's "Neizongfan" and the Ryukyu Islands are Japanese territory, which destroyed China's status as the suzerain of Ryukyu Kingdom from 1372 and formally occupied Ryukyu. And delay the negotiations with China on the Ryukyu issue.
1874- Japan used the "Peony Society Incident" as an excuse to absurdly claim that "killing Ryukyu people means killing Japanese people" and sent troops to invade Taiwan Province Province. 1875, the Japanese army occupied the Ryukyu Islands by force, forbade Ryukyu to pay tribute to China and was conferred by the Qing Dynasty, and abolished the title of China and changed it to the title of Meiji in Japan.
Although the Qing Dynasty was weak, it always insisted that Ryukyu was owned by China and would not give in. 1July 24, 875-Japan forced the Ryukyu king to stop paying tribute to the Central Committee of the Qing Dynasty.
1April 4, 879-Japan forced Wang Shangtai, the last Ryukyu country, into exile in Tokyo. Change Ryukyu to Okinawa Prefecture.
And began to implement a barbaric policy of assimilation, slavery and colonization. 1879- China and Japan started negotiations on the Ryukyu issue. China proposed to divide the Ryukyu Islands into three parts: Anmei Island near Japan is Japanese territory; Ryukyu Island and its adjacent islands exist as an independent Ryukyu Kingdom. The Sendao Islands in the south are considered as the territory of China.
The Japanese side proposes to divide Ryukyu into two parts: Ryukyu Island and its northern islands are Japanese territory, and the Sendao Islands in the south are China territory. (* * was not included in the negotiations, so it can be seen that * * * is outside the Ryukyu Islands).
1880 In September, under the pressure of Japan, the delimitation treaty was initialled according to Japan's dichotomy (not that of the Qing court), and the Sendao Islands, including Miyako, Shi Heng and Yaeyama Islands, belonged to China. However, the refusal of the Qing court to sign this agreement means that China not only has the right to * * * in South Ryukyu, but also has the right to * * * in North Ryukyu-from then on, the Japanese simply turned a deaf ear and stopped mentioning it.
About Okinawa Prefecture in Japan, please tell me the history of Okinawa Islands in Japan now, and the counties in southern Kyushu and China in history.
First-level administrative region. Located between China's Taiwan Province Province and Kyushu, it consists of more than 60 islands, including Okinawa Islands, Miyako Islands, Yaeyama Islands and Dadong Islands, bordering the Pacific Ocean in the east and the East China Sea in the west.
It covers an area of 2249 square kilometers. Population 122.
Twenty thousand (1990). Most residents are located in the south and middle of Okinawa.
The capital Naha. Okinawa, the main island, is an island with narrow east-west and long north-south.
Okinawa is an ancient country called Ryukyu Kingdom. /kloc-At the beginning of the 5th century, King Ba Zhi unified Ryukyu, was given the surname Shang by the Ming Dynasty, and began to build Ryukyu Village.
The emperors of Ryukyu all traded with China and Japan in the form of tribute. Ryukyu Kingdom is the most powerful at the end of 15.
At that time, King Shangzhen believed deeply in Buddhism, forbidding private ownership of weapons, and devoted himself to developing trade and revitalizing culture. Imitating Yuanjue Temple in Nara, Yuanjue Temple in Juri was built as a royal cemetery.
As a symbol of Okinawa, the ceremonial gate was built in the next generation of King Shang Qing. 1609, Samoan troops attacked and took control of Ryukyu kingdom. In order to continue to gain trade benefits, it still regards Ryukyu as an independent country on the surface, allowing it to continue to trade with China.
1872 established Ryukyu, 1879 Japan incorporated Ryukyu into the territory and established Okinawa prefecture. It now includes 10 city.
Occupied by the United States after World War II, 1972 returned. The economy is dominated by service industry and tourism.
Okinawa, because of its important strategic position, was an area where American and Japanese troops fought fiercely in the late World War II. After the end of World War II, it became a military base of the US military and was occupied for a long time.
Even now, the land occupied by American military bases still accounts for 20% of the area of Okinawa. Okinawa is located in the subtropical zone, with an average annual temperature of 20-24 degrees.
Summer is hot and rainy, and winter is warm and rainy. The annual rainfall exceeds 2000 mm.
Taking advantage of this warm climate, Okinawa mainly grows sugarcane and tropical and subtropical fruits. Okinawa has a sapphire shining ocean, white beaches, beautiful coral reefs, various subtropical plants and subtropical scenery, as well as ancient cultural traditions and cultural heritage.
This is a good place to travel. Ryukyu Village near the capital Naha was destroyed in the war. After the war 1986 began to recover.
The first part of the palace faces west and east. The North Hall is the place to receive China's diplomatic envoys and government affairs, while the South Hall is the place to receive Samoan officials. The classical dance in Okinawa is said to have been created by the Ryukyu Dynasty in order to receive China's messengers.
Okinawa is the hometown of karate, which is a kind of martial arts created by combining the characteristics of China martial arts, and was originally called "Tang Hand". After World War II, karate was introduced by American soldiers and spread all over the world.
Now many karate lovers from all over the world come to Okinawa to practice their skills. Today, Okinawa's traditional culture and modern civilization are eclectic, and it has become a tourist destination for tourists from all over the world, with many scenic spots with beautiful natural scenery.
It takes two hours and thirty minutes to fly from Tokyo. It takes eighteen hours by boat from kagoshima.
Okinawa has many historical sites, as well as green water, coral reefs and subtropical plants, enjoying the beauty of nature. .
Ryukyu Islands (called Okinawa in Japan) is obviously an independent subordinate country of China in history, while Ryukyu in World War II has been only a vassal country of China dynasties since ancient times, not a territory, and all the dynasties in China considered themselves the suzerain of Ryukyu rather than the territorial owner.
In essence, Japan belongs to occupation, and the occupation time was unilaterally announced by 1872, which has been more than one hundred years, that is to say, it can be legally owned without going through the war of independence.
This is like saying that a person has found something and said it is his own. As a result, both he and his son died, and no one came out to claim them in his grandson's generation. If you say this thing isn't his, whose will it be?
China won't admit it. Although the culture and language of Ryukyu are still preserved, you can't find the heir of the last king. Now, if you want Ryukyu Islands to be independent, the only feasible way is to expel the occupying forces and tell the world that you have the ability to be independent.
So in the final analysis, this is not a traitorous act, and there is no need for China to pay for the mess left by the Qing Dynasty. If we support Okinawa independence, it means directly confronting the United States, which is unlikely.
May I ask if Okinawa (Ryukyu) was once the territory of China in history? If the Ryukyu Kingdom (that is, the waters near Okinawa Island) in China paid tribute to China during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, then Okinawa was the location of the Ryukyu Kingdom, an independent kingdom in history.
Since ancient times, it has maintained close cultural exchanges and overseas trade with China, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asian countries, so its customs, culture, food, materials and architectural style are quite different from those of Japan. Ryukyu Kingdom paid tribute to China during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty in China.
At the same time, in order not to be invaded by Japanese Samoans, the kingdom also paid tribute to Samoans. 1868 After the Meiji Restoration, Japan began to look around Ryukyu, North Korea and even Taiwan Province Province. In 1872, Japan abandoned the Ryukyu Kingdom and first became a Ryukyu dependency of Japan, then changed to Okinawa Prefecture in 1879.
Okinawa was the only territory directly under the jurisdiction of Japan where the US military landed during the Second World War. At the end of the Second World War, the US military landed in Okinawa on 1945, and defeated the Japanese defenders. Okinawa also established the Yaeyama Republic, which was established only one week ago. After the war, Japan surrendered and was occupied by the US military. Because of its strategic location, Okinawa is directly under the jurisdiction of the US military from 1945 to 1972.
1972, the us military returned Okinawa to Japan, but the us military was still stationed at the military base in Okinawa. In order to better explain the problem, please refer to the following information about Ryukyu Kingdom: //BBS. Iron blood /post _ 1346490 _ 1.
