What is the Japanese culture of caesarean section?

When it comes to understanding Japanese culture, we can't help mentioning Bushido in Nitobe Inazo. Many Japanese people are also proud of this book, so his head is still printed on 5000 yen. However, Nitobe Inazo's book to beautify his own culture was originally written for Europeans and Americans, so, like other questions in the book, he tried his best to find theoretical evidence about caesarean section in European and American cultures, so he found the original factors why caesarean section was needed in the stories of Genesis and even Romeo and Juliet. And his war theory of bushido and laparotomy service: "War, whether it is attack, invasion, defense or self-defense, is barbaric and justified." This is an extremely shallow and irresponsible theory.

In the first year of Yongjiu, Japan (AD 989), before being arrested, Fujiwara, a thief, cut open his abdomen, then picked out the internal organs with the tip of a knife and threw them at the loyalist. This is undoubtedly the most famous caesarean section suicide of the early Japanese. However, the legendary laparotomy appeared earlier. In 7 13 AD, the Japanese geography "Sowing Wind and Sowing Soil" said: The pale Poseidon was angry because her husband spent the flower heart of Poseidon, and then cut himself open and threw himself into the swamp, becoming an intestinal fish.

However, this legendary laparotomy and Fujiwara's laparotomy can hardly be fully explained by the Bushido saying "open the place where the soul lives for people to see". Because they just expressed a kind of resentment or contempt, trying to shock each other. From the Muromachi period (A.D. 1333- 1573) to modern times, besides samurai, there were also women who had caesarean sections, and not all of them were samurai or their wives and daughters.

The extreme behavior of suicide by caesarean section became popular among Japanese samurai, beginning in heian period (AD 794- 1 192). Later, in the era of Kamakura shogunate, most of them were branded as caesarean section because they lost their positions, or they were ashamed of being captured and had caesarean section before the battle. After the opening of Edo, social rule was relatively stable, and caesarean section and "beating the abdomen" as punishment gradually became the mainstream.
