Are there any Japanese books about the history and culture of China?
"World History" is a compulsory course in Japanese high schools. Among them, the adoption rate of World History published by Shanshui Publishing House was 39.6%, ranking first. This book introduces the culture of the Tang Dynasty in China and its influence on the Japanese, describes the development of China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and comments on the history of the introduction of western culture into China. Judging from the world history textbooks with the highest pass rate, they did not advocate aggression, reflected on Japanese militarism to a certain extent, and recorded the Nanjing Massacre, but did not use the word "aggression", and the Nanjing Massacre did not specify the death toll.

Japanese history is also a compulsory course in Japanese high schools. The adoption rate of Japanese history published by Shanchuan Publishing House is 32.6%, ranking first among all Japanese history textbooks. The content of Japanese history involving China is more specific, recording the historical facts of Japanese comfort women and forced labor. Although the negative attitude towards the war can be seen between the lines, its introspection is not profound, and the word "aggressive war" is deliberately deleted. On the contrary, it is a history textbook published by Tokyo Book Publishing House, which ranks second in ratings, and clearly states the word "aggression" against China. As for the distorted history textbook published by Fusang Publishing House, Japanese right-wingers denied the Nanjing Massacre, comfort women and other historical facts in order to publicize the merits and justifications of aggression, and the pass rate in Japanese high schools was less than 1%. I don't know whether it is because of the low adoption rate or other reasons, the National Institute of Education has not found this textbook.
