Traditional titles that are easy to see in Japan

As two big countries in the world, China and Japan will inevitably deal with each other in politics, economy and culture in the future. So now it's really time to have a deeper understanding of Japan and Japanese people.

Mauro Ye Mei's Japanese Story, Edo Japan, Peaceful Japan and Legendary Japan.

The above four books are mainly based on Japanese customs, and the language is closer to life.

You can buy a brief history of Japan to give you a clear concept of Japanese history and cultural formation.

If LZ wants to know about Japan after reading it, you can have a look.

Dai's On Japan

And Benedict's Chrysanthemum and Knife (also translated as Chrysanthemum and Knife and Chrysanthemum and Sword).

The above two books are for research and are unique in explaining the Japanese character.

In modern Japanese literature, Haruki Murakami, which is popular at present, tends to be urbanized. In contrast, Kawabata Yasunari's works have more Japanese classical beauty. Here are some books I recommend:

Snow country, ancient capital, dancers from Izu, thousand cranes, etc.

A large part of Japanese classical culture was introduced from the Tang Dynasty.

In terms of literature, we can look at Tales of Genji, Tales of Pingjia, Tales of Ise, Tales of Military History and Tales of Pillow Grass. These are all Japanese classical literature. If you calm down and read them, you will have a deeper understanding of Japan.

Japanese poetry literature is greatly influenced by Bai Juyi, so LZ can also refer to some works of Bai Juyi.

The above books should be available in all major Xinhua bookstores in China. If you learn Japanese, LZ can buy some Japanese books to learn.

The above are my suggestions based on my own experience, and the order is from shallow to deep.

Finally, I wish LZ to study hard and make progress every day.
