Why do Japanese people advocate monster culture?

Personally, I still like Japanese anime very much, and two of them are basically monsters, such as Natsume Friends Account and Inuyasha. First of all, the monster culture is a Japanese tradition, and there is already a special knowledge of monsters; Secondly, the division of Yin and Yang prevailed in turbulent times in Japanese history;

To say the origin of monsters, in fact, the reasons all over the world should be the same. Even in ancient times, human beings were still weak and called what they could not explain monsters when they knew nothing. In fact, this is mainly due to the awe of nature.

In fact, a lot of truth can be understood as soon as science explains it, but it was not up to this level at that time, and now the monster theory is prevalent. For example, the Japanese have compiled all the knowledge about monsters into books, and they are all thick books, just like the stories of Japanese monsters. As for the prototype of monsters, it is said that most of them come from abroad, with China and Indian as the most. There is also the activity of "scattering beans to drive away ghosts" in the vernal equinox, which originated from the Nuo-chasing ceremony in ancient China.

The Japanese monster theory is more prosperous in the later period. There was a teacher of Yin and Yang who was actually a wizard supported by a special organization established by the Japanese government at that time. In fact, this reminds me of our country's institutions specializing in divination for emperors. The emergence of Japanese Yin and Yang teachers was mainly to appease the social unrest and people's uneasiness at that time, that is, the panic that the people could not touch, and the government could not solve it. At that time, the Japanese government must have relied on the division of Yin and Yang to stabilize people's hearts and strengthen its rule.
