Why do Japanese textbooks say that China is only 70 years old? And claims to be thousands of years old?
China has a history of 5,000 years, and China has a long history and profound culture, which has always been universally recognized by people all over the world. However, in Japanese textbooks, they actually wrote that China has only a short history of 70 years! Anyway, where have the other thousands of years gone? Do Japanese people ignore the long history of China in this portrait? Or do they just like to tamper with the history related to China? It turns out that this has something to do with the Japanese "special" calculation method.

From the establishment of the Xia Dynasty to the later Shang and Zhou Dynasties, from the feudal unification of the Qin Dynasty to the national integration of the later Han Dynasty, from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties to the modern Republic of China, and then to the civilized and prosperous new China. The history of China for thousands of years has never stopped, and the splendid cultural heritage of China continues today! Moreover, in the process of inheritance, these historical cultures have also had an immeasurable impact on China people. The collision, exchange and integration of history and culture have created our unique personality quality and behavior mode.

Usually, the length of a country's history is roughly guessed and judged according to relevant historical records and information left by architectural figures. At the same time, we can also use this information to divide primitive society, slave society and later feudal society. Looking at the historical data through the ages, we can know that our country has actually produced primary civilization since the tribal period, and it is from this that our long history began to be calculated.

Then, why did the Japanese write the history of China in textbooks for only 70 years? The Japanese love to brag so much, are they really not afraid to show their tongues? Not to mention that China people don't accept this statement, people all over the world may not accept it, and even Japanese netizens are very dissatisfied: Is the publishing house crazy? Editing textbooks is so lax. Are they here to play? etc ...

So, how did they calculate the 5,000-year history of China as only 70 years? It turns out that this is related to the Japanese calculation method. First of all, Japanese people like to revise textbooks. The first thing they preach in textbooks is how long the history of their country is. Like other countries, Britain and the United States have to fall behind. So, why did it only take 70 years to get to China?

It turns out that Japan has an extremely "unique" calculation method, that is to say, no matter how many dynasties China changed, as long as a dynasty was overthrown, the history before that could not be called the history of this dynasty. Therefore, in the eyes of the Japanese, China has a history of only 70 years, because New China was founded only 70 years ago. I have to say that the Japanese calculation method is really wonderful. The replacement of dynasties means the progress of the country and society. How can you say that history is interrupted? Think carefully, distort historical facts at will, and enhance Japanese national pride. These are just the usual methods of Japanese flattery!
