Shenfeng tradition

During World War II, especially in the late Pacific War, Japanese suicide attacks emerged one after another, especially the behavior of young pilots crashing their planes into American ships with the goal of mutual destruction, which made Americans both afraid and puzzled. In fact, as long as you know a little about Japan's religious and political traditions, as well as the education and military influence on the people since Meiji, you will understand that this is an inevitable result. Japan's indigenous religion is Shinto, and the emperor is worshipped as a god, because it is said that he is a descendant of God. In fact, in Japanese history, the authority of the emperor was not so sacred to the real rulers. Since the Fujiwara family, the emperor has been in a nominal position. They kept the emperor system only because it was more conducive to their own rule in the name of the emperor.

At the end of 12, Fujiwara's rule was overthrown by his generals, and the Japanese samurai stepped onto the historical stage. In the next seven centuries of rule, samurai spared no effort to advocate moral standards such as courage, honor and fear of death, and on this basis, they built the spiritual tradition Bushido.

However, these rituals are almost all samurai's, and they regard spirit as extremely important. A etiquette says: an army does not rely on guns and ships, but mainly on patriotism. ? They preach in the army? Bushido? At the same time, we should not forget to cultivate students' patriotism in school and combine this spirit with respect for the emperor. Every morning, every primary and secondary school student should bow respectfully to the direction of the palace, and the teachers insist on asking the boys the same question every day. What is your greatest ambition? ?

The boys said in unison: Die for the emperor! ?

After several generations of education, he died for the emperor. The spirit of Japanese spirit has penetrated into the blood of many Japanese people. Some boys really practice this with their own lives when they grow up? Ambition? The most famous example is the kamikaze special attack team of the Japanese army in the late Pacific War.
