As a civilian, why can Fukuzawa Yukichi be printed on the ten thousand yuan note of Japanese currency?

In order to prevent counterfeit money from entering the market and disrupting the market economy, the Japanese government stipulates that the design of coins should be replaced every 20 years. 1984, Fukuzawa Yukichi's head was printed on the ten thousand yen bill. Fukuzawa Yukichi is not a political figure, nor has he held any position in the Japanese government. Why do you want to print his head on the ten thousand dollar bill? Because he advocated all his life? Can an independent institution make a country independent? He founded current affairs newspapers and universities to encourage people to have independent personalities and ideas. He made great contributions to Japan's independent spirit.

First, the experience of Fukuzawa Yukichi Fukuzawa Yukichi was born in a very ordinary family, and his father was a lowest-ranking official. His father is very good at managing finance, so in the future, Fukuzawa Yukichi will change the basis of accounting and introduce it to Japan in the form of double-entry accounting. In the era when he was born, the nobles were always nobles, and the poor were always poor. Fukuzawa Yukichi saw the cruelty and harshness of the feudal system at an early age, which made him hate the feudal hierarchy. Later, with the development of Japanese trade, he went abroad to study for three times, which not only opened his eyes, but also touched his yearning for social equality, and Fukuzawa Yukichi also struggled for this concept all his life.

Second, Fukuzawa Yukichi's contribution Because Emperor Meiji initiated the reform, Japanese society officially began to enter the modern society. All the old things are gradually disappearing. It's time for cultural enlightenment, and it's time for Fukuzawa Yukichi to express his gratitude. He advocated practical learning, so that people should not learn unrealistic things, but should study the practicality of learning. Real learning should be practical and beneficial to social development. His rational debate broke the old hierarchy of authority. And for a long time, Fukuzawa Yukichi used experimental methods to distinguish and test stale dogmas and ideas, and mercilessly stripped the old authority of the original deep-rooted hypocrisy.

Fukuzawa Yukichi encouraged the Japanese to run private enterprises and develop their own independent thoughts and spirit. His "persuasion" inspired and inspired generation after generation. He told people that no one was born noble and no one was born humble. He was not afraid of power, broke the inherent feudal thought and made great contributions to Japan's independent thought. The influence of this kind of power has exceeded his period at that time, and has continued until now, and will even continue to influence.
