What is Japan?

Question 1: What does Japan mean? Japan literally means "the root of the sun", where the sun rises. Therefore, Japan is sometimes called the country of the sun.

Before Japan came into contact with China, the Japanese called their places "やまと" and "ひのもと", meaning the origin of the sun.

During the Three Kingdoms period in China, the Japanese represented Japan in Japanese. Because the word "Japan" has the meaning of "short", after Chinese characters were introduced into Japan, the Japanese replaced it with the Japanese homonym "He". Write やまと in Japanese and ひのもと in Japanese with the Chinese character "Yamato". Later, Japanese was pronounced "Japan" by phonics, and changed to にほん(Nihon) and にっぽん(Nippon) commonly used in Japanese today.

The word "Japanese" did not appear in China until the end of the 7th century. The Twenty-four Histories of the Old Tang Dynasty records that the Japanese changed their country name to "Japan" because they didn't like the name. In the 8th century A.D., there was another saying in Justice in Historical Records that Wu Zetian ordered Japan to change its name to "Japan".

The official name of modern Japan is "Japan", which is one of the few countries in the world without a long name. From the Meiji Restoration to the end of World War II, the official name of Japan was the Great Japanese Empire (Great Japanese Empire だぃにっぽんてぃこく). After World War II, it was changed to its current name in the new Constitution.

Although most Japanese in Japan also refer to their own country by "Japan", in recent years, "ジャパン" transliterated from the English word "Japan" and even "ジパング" transliterated from "Tsupan Gu".

Question 2: What is the nickname of Japan? China called Japan "Japan" or "Japan" in ancient times. In the 5th century A.D., after Japan's reunification, the title was Yamato. In addition, in Chinese, "Fusang", "Japan" and "enemy country" are also nicknames of Japanese country names.

Question 3: What does Japan 1 mean? Chinese means "Japan is the first" ~

Question 4: What time is it in Japan? The time difference between Japan and China is 1 hour.

In other words, Japan is ahead of China 1 hour.

If it is AM7: 45 in China time, it should be AM8: 45 in Japanese time.

Question 5: What is Japan like? Personally agree that Japanese society is dead. I think it is mainly caused by post-war collectivism, and innovation is mainly manifested in groups, not individuals. At the same time, I think Japan attaches importance to order and doesn't like individualists, so there are very few talented people like Jobs. As for the development potential, it is certainly not as good as China. After all, China has a low starting point and is in a period of rapid development, and there are underdeveloped areas in various fields. I am optimistic about China's agriculture in the future, so I plan to study abroad and go home to farm. Xenophobia is sincere, and it is impossible for foreigners to fully integrate into Japanese society, but this kind of xenophobia is not hostile xenophobia, but the distance between people and society for "outsiders". It can be seen from the fact that non-immigrants in Japan are not open to Europe and America. As for China, there are all kinds of xenophobia or hostility between different regions, and I don't want to be criticized.

Question 6: What is the nationality of Japan? The Japanese migrated from Malaysia thousands of years ago, and the Malays fought the indigenous Japanese Xiayi people for a thousand years. Finally, the Xiayi people were defeated and forced to retreat to Hokkaido. Today, there are only over 20,000 people left. After the Malays arrived here, they merged with the local Xiayi people a little, and gradually formed today's Japanese peace. These are prehistoric things, so the formation of the Japanese nation was much earlier than Xu Fudong's crossing the river, and Xuzhou Du Dong's influence on Japanese descent can be said to be minimal. It is said that Xu Fu established the first country in Japanese history in Japan. Even if I am an illegitimate child, I can't tell you how many nationalities I have.

Question 7: What is the nationality of the Japanese? Japan's ethnic composition is relatively simple, except for a few Ainu people (also known as Xia Yiren), all of them are Yamato ethnic groups.

Ainu people are the earliest inhabitants of Japan and a member of the equatorial race. According to Japanese historical records. Ainu people were called "Mao people" in the 5th century, because they were characterized by dark skin, thick, long and curly hair, a lot of hair on their faces and bodies, and short stature. Adult males are about 1.6 meters tall. Their faces have the characteristics of Europeans, and their languages have nothing in common with those of neighboring nations and countries. Men have red beards. The clothes they wear are very similar to those of tribes living in the far north. Their legends and numerous narrative poems are similar to the folk (oral) creations of indigenous people in Oceania and Australia. In a word, this mixed culture is incredible, and this phenomenon can't be explained so far. How they came to Japan is unknown.

Some people think that their ancestors migrated to Japan from Southeast Asia in the early Neolithic period (about six or seven thousand years ago). Some scholars believe that Ainu people are * * * immigrants, who controlled a large area of the Far East in a certain period of time and then distributed in Honshu Island. As some Japanese tribes gradually moved to the north, their territory was shrinking. Since the second half of the 7th century, Ainu people have been called "Xiayi", which means "Yidi", a contemptuous name given to them by the reactionary rulers of the dominant Yamato clan in Japan. It gradually changed its name to Ainu people from the middle of14th century. The word "Ainu" means "human" in this language. From the16th century, some Ainu people migrated to Sakhalin Island. 17 and 18 centuries, most Ainu people were wiped out. Today, there are less than 20,000 people left. Most of them live in Rigao, Asahikawa and Kushiro in the north-central part of Hokkaido. A few are far away from Sakhalin Island and Kuril Islands, and some are scattered in some parts of the state.

Ainu people used to live mainly by fishing and hunting. /kloc-At the end of 0/8th century, the Tokugawa shogunate directly sent officials to manage the Kuril Islands, opened up more than a dozen fishing grounds, and at the same time implemented the assimilation policy, requiring Ainu people to change their customs, shave their beards, wash their hair, wear kimonos, and change their names according to the Japanese way. /kloc-After the 0/9th century, Japan began to develop islands such as Hokkaido and popularize Yamato civilization. In this way, the traditional way of life of Ainu people has been further changed. They gave up traditional fishing and hunting and became farmers living a settled life.

Ainu people have their own festivals and sacrificial activities, the most famous of which is "Bear Sacrifice". They like to carve animals, especially bears, on peeled logs with chisels, which is called "Ainu carving" in Japan. Ainu people have profound cultural heritage, are good at embroidery and love dancing. They wrote many poems and passed them down from generation to generation from memory. Some long narrative poems in Ainu language handed down from history are rich in content and take a long time to recite.

Ainu people have their own language-Ainu language, which belongs to hug language. This is an independent language, belonging to Malay-Polynesian (Austronesian) language family. At present, except Ainu people, only Eskimos and American Indians use this language in the world. Many place names in northeastern Japan are derived from Ainu language. Such as "Lifu", which means "Grand Valley"; "Otaru" originally meant "Shachuan"; The original meaning of "named mail" is "crow infested city" and so on. Ainu people have contributed to the development of Japanese archipelago, including cultural development.
