Seek to translate a Japanese passage related to civilization.

In the folk, the rational idea of European and American trends was introduced through people represented by Fukuzawa Yukichi. With the diplomatic envoys of the shogunate, he wrote the book "Western Affairs", which became an unprecedented bestseller at that time as a book introducing western civilization. From Samofan (now the western part of Kagoshima Prefecture) to Sen Youli who studied in Britain and America, he advocated accepting western civilization and abolishing Chinese characters for the modernization of civilization. He called Fukuzawa Yukichi, and they established the Liu Ming Association, dedicated to the popularization of the Enlightenment. In the early Meiji period, under the slogan of "civilization", efforts were made to accept western civilization.

In this way, modern Japan resolutely embarked on the road of social upheaval aimed at western society, and from then on, it also advanced on the road of westernization in order to resist western powers.
