Of the three celebrities printed on the Japanese yen, which one makes Chinese people gnash their teeth?

Most countries in the world print founding leaders or people with great influence in history on their own currency; According to the common people's idea, the people printed on the Japanese yen are nothing more than the first generation emperor "Emperor Jimmu" or "Meiji Emperor", and there are also historical celebrities such as Tokugawa Ieyasu, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Nobuyoshi Oda. But the Japanese don't like it. I think many people in China are at a loss when they see three people on the yen, because they don't know any of them. Now let's take a look at popular science.

1000 Ba- Hideki Noguchi

1 0,000 yen The person printed on the front is Hideki Noguchi, who is the first scientist to isolate syphilis pathogens from the central nervous system of patients who are thought to be paralyzed by syphilis. Perfecting the technology and theory of Wasserman reaction; Wasserman's skin test for syphilis has improved. The pathogen of Oroya fever was also cultivated. In addition, a method of cultivating microorganisms that have never grown in test tubes in the past was designed, and Treponema pallidum was successfully cultivated.

Vaccines and antiserum against polio, trachoma and yellow fever were also studied. In his later years, Hideki Noguchi went to Africa to inspect "yellow fever" in person, regardless of his age. Unfortunately, he got sick. May 2 1928 died. He was buried in a cemetery in the northern suburb of new york, USA. Mr. Noguchi's inscription is: "He devoted his life to science. He was born for mankind and died for mankind. "

Hideki Noguchi's main works include experimental diagnosis of snake venom and syphilis. He struggled all his life and was praised as "the national treasure of Japan" and "the treasure of the world". June 2004 1 65438+1October1The latest issue of 1000 yen notes, Mr. Noguchi's head was printed on 1000 yen notes as a souvenir.

5,000 yen-Higuchi Ichiyo

On the 5000 yen, the woman printed on the front is not a powerful female emperor, but a female writer. Her name is Higuchi Ichiyo. Higuchi Ichiyo is a female writer in Meiji era, and there is more than one female writer in Meiji era. On the contrary, there was a so-called "aristocratic literature era" in the Meiji era. From 1889 to 65438+1990s, the names of many female writers were very active in the literary world.

In Higuchi Ichiyo's short career of less than 25 years, all the representative works with literary vitality were created when she was 23 to 24 years old, that is, less than 14 months old, which is a miraculous feat. But among many female writers, Higuchi Ichiyo is the only one who can compete with excellent male writers. His major works include New Year's Eve, Turbid Flow, Childhood, Three Forks, Thirteen Nights and so on, which caused a sensation in the literary world.

Although Higuchi Ichiyo died of tuberculosis at a young age, she was a pioneer in the transformation of women's social roles in the Meiji new era, so she became the first female portrait in the history of Japanese paper money and was called "Meiji Murasaki Department" by Japanese literary circles.

10000 Baffo Mi Yu Ji

On the largest denomination of Japanese yen, there is a man named Fukudaiyuji. Yasuo Fukuda is a famous enlightenment thinker in modern Japan, an outstanding educator in Meiji period, and the founder of Keio University, a famous private university in Japan. He was engaged in writing and educational activities all his life, and formed an enlightening educational thought, which greatly promoted the spread of western capitalist civilization and the development of Japanese capitalism. Therefore, it is called "the father of modern Japanese education" and "the great hero of Meiji education" by Japan.

But Yuji Fukui was not so friendly to the Qing Dynasty at that time. He was the first militarist theorist in Japan. In the past twenty years, he has written more than forty articles advocating aggression against China, closely linking the modernization process of Japan's "civilization" with aggression against China, and openly advocating the robber philosophy of the law of the jungle. And the key point is that Japan has carried out strategic planning almost completely according to his advocacy, first in North Korea and then in Northeast China. ...

Fukuzawa Yukichi is a typical militarist. He never misses every opportunity to benefit from China. For example, when Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, Japanese membership was promoted by Yuji Fukui. In addition, he also bluntly said that "the Japanese-Qing War was a civilized and barbaric war." ...

It can be said that what Japan did in later generations was largely influenced by this "father of modern Japanese education"; From the educational point of view, Yuji Fukui has indeed made great contributions to Japan, but from other angles, it is not so appropriate for Japan to print Yuji Fukui's portrait on 10000.
