History: Meiji Restoration Background:1In the middle of the 9th century, Japan was still under the Tokugawa tokugawa era, closed to the outside world and backward in feudalism; The broad masses of working people are increasingly poor and have waged various forms of resistance; With the development of capitalism, the strength of emerging landlords and usurers has increased, and they are increasingly dissatisfied with the situation of political powerlessness; Because of the deterioration of the economic situation, the middle and lower samurai are more dissatisfied with reality; As the supreme ruler, the contradiction between the emperor and the shogunate has a long history, and the emperor does not want to be controlled by the shogunate forever; 1853 After the American invasion of Japan, the national crisis intensified.

Armed rebellion: China was humiliated and shocked people of insight in Japan, who actively sought ways to save the Japanese nation from peril; Gradually formed an anti-curtain faction dominated by middle and lower samurai, which won the support of the people; In the name of the reformists, they mastered the political power of the strong vassal States in southwest China and Samoyed and established anti-curtain armed forces; 1868, the government forces defeated the shogunate, 1869, the Meiji government moved its capital to Tokyo. At this point, the revolutionary stage of Meiji Restoration ended.

Meiji Restoration: politically, centralized power was strengthened, vassal counties were abolished, and samurai privileges were abolished. Economically, we should recognize private ownership of land, introduce advanced western technology, vigorously develop modern capitalist industry and commerce, actively build railways, set up post offices, telegrams and telephones, set up factories, foster private enterprises and develop foreign trade. Military aspect: implement the conscription system, establish a new army that believes in the spirit of Bushido and is absolutely loyal to the emperor, and actively prepare for external expansion. Culture: Implement civilized policies, vigorously develop modern education and train talents for capitalist construction.

Meiji Restoration made Japan embark on the capitalist road and changed the feudal backwardness. However, after the Meiji Restoration, there were still feudal remnants in Japan. With the increasing strength, Japan has tried its best to pursue a militaristic policy and invade and expand its Asian neighbors.

Politics: Analyze and understand the background of Meiji Restoration by applying the dialectical relationship principle of internal and external causes.

Using the viewpoint and method of historical materialism, this paper dialectically and comprehensively evaluates the specific measures of Meiji Restoration in Japan.

Japan embarked on the capitalist road and became a powerful country in Asia, which provided experience for backward countries to realize national rejuvenation. Therefore, the younger generation should establish the spirit of rejuvenation and self-improvement of the Chinese nation and resolutely oppose militarism.
