"Chrysanthemum" is the emblem of Japanese royal family, and "Dao" is a symbol of Bushido culture. Ruth benedict, an American anthropologist, used "Chrysanthemum" and "Knife" to reveal the contradictory character of Japanese people, that is, the duality of Japanese culture (such as loving beauty and spurning, being polite and aggressive, being fond of novelty and being stubborn, being obedient and unruly, etc.), and then analyzed the hierarchical system and related customs of Japanese society, and pointed out that the discontinuity of Japanese children's education and adult education was an important factor to form the dual character. Of all the enemies the United States has gone all out to fight against, the Japanese are the most puzzling opponents. Because there is a huge difference in thinking and behavior with this powerful opponent, we must seriously consider how to deal with it. Western countries believe that even in war, we should follow some war practices that conform to basic human nature, but in the eyes of the Japanese, there are no such concepts. In this case, understanding the nature of the enemy has become a core issue. To fight against Japan, we must understand the Japanese behavior.

Chrysanthemum and Knife was originally an investigation report made by Ruth Benedict, an American anthropologist, on the orders of the American government to analyze and study Japanese society and Japanese nationality, aiming at guiding the United States to control Japan after its defeat. It was officially published in 1946 and published in Japanese in 1949, which aroused strong repercussions in the United States and Japan. Mr. Jin Kemu especially recommended this book and affirmed the research results of this female scholar. In fact, the American government's postwar policy toward Japan and Japan's corresponding response are basically consistent with the analysis in this book. It can be described as a guide book for the United States to transform Japan and analyze Japan. This book is also regarded as a must-read for studying Japanese nationality, and it is an outstanding example of the direct application of social science research to political practice.

Cui Shiguang pointed out, "Of course, this book also has some defects and deficiencies in theoretical analysis and materials. For example, the author puts the focus of the analysis on finding out the mode of action and thinking of the average Japanese, while ignoring the differentiation of social classes. In fact, there are also specific differences among Japanese in class, region, occupation and age, which will bring about differences in action and thinking methods. In addition, when analyzing Japanese culture and national character, she treats it as a static thing, ignoring historical changes. In fact, some of the contradictory elements in Japanese action and thinking methods come from different occasions, while others come from changes in historical environment. If we can't see the historical side of the problem, we can't make further in-depth exploration of Japanese culture. Moreover, because the author has never been to Japan, there are also restrictions on materials and information. These have become the reasons why the book has been criticized by some scholars. "

ruth benedict (1887-1948), born in Fulton, new york, is an American feminist. In the late World War II, the defeat of Germany and Japan was decided, and the United States needed to formulate specific policies according to Japan's situation. So in 1944, Benedict was ordered by the American government to collect various materials and complete this report, in which he expounded his own inference. After the war, America's decision was consistent with her inference, and her accurate foresight is one of the highlights of this book.

She studied English literature in college. In 1919, she went to Columbia University to study anthropology. She studied under Flantz boas, one of the greatest anthropologists before World War II, and received her doctorate in 1923. In 1927, she studied Indian tribal culture and wrote a book "Patterns of Culture" (1934). In 194, she finished a book "Race:ScienceandPolitics", criticizing racial discrimination. During the Second World War, he studied the nationality of Romania, the Netherlands, Germany, Thailand and other countries, among which the book Chrysanthemum and Knife, the study of Japan, made the greatest contribution. After World War II, she continued to participate in "Contemporary Cultural Studies" at Columbia University and died in September 1948.

Chapter One Task: Japan Research

The United States had a full-scale war with Japan and found that the Japanese army was very different from itself. In the war with any other powerful enemy, it has never been necessary to consider such a completely different way of behavior and thinking. Like what happened to Tsarist Russia before us (in 195), Japan, which we fought against, is a well-trained country with all the soldiers, which does not belong to European cultural traditions. For the Japanese, those war practices that are accepted by western countries and conform to the actual human nature obviously do not exist. This makes the US-Japan war in the Pacific not just a series of island beaches landing, or an insurmountable logistics supply problem. We have to understand their behavior and deal with them.

it's hard. It has been 75 years since Japan's closed door was opened. During this period, people used words such as "but" and "ye" to describe the Japanese. When these words are used to describe any other country, they will be ridiculous. A serious observer, when describing other nations rather than the Japanese nation, will not add the following sentence after saying that they are more polite than ever, "But they are also arrogant and bossy." When he said that people in a certain country are extremely stubborn in dealing with people, he would not add the following sentence: "But they are willing to adjust themselves to extreme innovation." When he says a nation is docile, he doesn't explain it at the same time, but they refuse to obey the control of their superiors. When he says that they are loyal and generous, he will not claim, "but they also have betrayal and resentment." When he said they were born brave, he wouldn't count his thick timidity again. When he says they don't consider other people's opinions, he won't go on to say that they are really broad-minded. When he describes how their army is like a machine, he won't go on to describe how the soldiers in that army refuse to help or even resist their superiors like a horse biting a chew. When he described how a nation devoted itself passionately to western learning. He won't exaggerate their fanatical conservatism. When he wrote a book to discuss that a country has universal aesthetic worship, which gives actors and artists high honors, and the people are willing to spend time and effort on chrysanthemum cultivation techniques; Generally speaking, he won't write another book, adding that that nation also worships knives and dedicates the highest prestige to other warriors. The topic of Japanese culture is used as the theme of PPT.

Historically, in more than 1, years, Japan has absorbed a lot of China's Tang culture. After the collapse of the Tokugawa regime in 1868 and the beginning of the Meiji Restoration, Japan entered a period of "civilization". During this period, Japanese introduced western civilization according to the method of fully accepting China culture 11 centuries ago, and achieved great results, which laid the foundation for building a modern country. The formation and development of any culture are influenced by many factors. The history at home and abroad, as well as Buddhism, Confucianism and even Christianity have all played a role in Japanese culture. Japan is changing, but it has never really divorced from its oldest local cultural roots.

The above situation can be seen from many phenomena in Japanese society. Now TV, air conditioning, cars, computers, going abroad for holidays, etc. have deeply penetrated into ordinary families in Japan, and the surface of Japanese life has become unrecognizable. Nevertheless, behind the curtain of modernization, there are still many things belonging to Japanese native culture. From a deep analysis, Japan is still a traditional country. For example, they like to eat raw and cold food and advocate the original flavor; Like plain colors and natural tastes; Strong family power, family consciousness and group consciousness; Folk beliefs and witchcraft flourish; Women's meekness and dependence on men; Want to get rich, can get rich, but after getting rich, I am at a loss; Wait a minute.

this contradiction and unity are manifested in the input and output of culture.

Japan is a nation that attaches great importance to and is very good at absorbing and importing other countries' cultures. From the "Great Innovation" in the 7th century to the "Meiji Restoration" in the 19th century, it absorbed and imported western cultures on a large scale, which has greatly promoted Japan's development and progress. Comparatively speaking, China is not very good at absorbing the cultures of other countries and ethnic groups in history. It is certainly an advantage to have a long history and vast territory, but if we only pay attention to the output but not the input, and do not pay attention to absorbing nutrition from the cultures of other countries and ethnic groups and constantly developing ourselves, then this advantage will also go to the opposite side.

With the rapid growth of Japan's economy, Japan's awareness of promoting its own culture to the outside world has become stronger and stronger, and it has put forward a strategic slogan, which was called "internationalization" by Nakasone Yasuhiro, a former Japanese prime minister. In this regard, the Japanese government has invested a lot of money. According to a statistic in the 199s, the annual budget for overseas cultural exchange projects sponsored by Japanese official institutions, such as inviting or sending scholars and overseas students, and carrying out large-scale cultural activities, is 1 billion yen. The International Exchange Fund under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan mainly encourages and subsidizes Japanese-related projects, such as Japanese education abroad, research, translation and publication of Japanese cultural and literary works, or cultural activities related to this. The government's large investment in promoting its own culture has achieved remarkable results. These measures are closely related to the fact that Japanese tea ceremony and flower path are world-renowned and that there are many good quality translations of Japanese literary works in many languages.

Another aspect of contradictory unity is the old official culture and folk culture in Japan.

In ancient Japan, no matter how much the government emphasized foreign culture, folk culture remained largely reserved. For example, in the era when heian period (794-1185 AD) strongly advocated the culture of the Tang Dynasty, all Japanese literati and men wrote in Chinese, but women did not, and as a result, they became pioneers of Japanese native literature.

In a long historical period, people can do whatever they want within the boundaries of many areas permitted and controlled by the government. There, actors dressed as women, male prostitutes, prostitutes and woodcut artists can please God. The urban folk culture in the Edo period, especially in the prosperous 17th century, is inextricably linked with this narrow world of enjoyment. Many writers, musicians, actors and painters are in and out of this "lewd world" which is despised by the government but deeply loved by the common people. Violent entertainment and absurd pornography are still important means for people to vent their feelings under the strict control of the government. No matter how the times change, the fundamental changes of this kind of culture are very small, and the importance of this phenomenon cannot be underestimated.

finally, the unity of this contradiction is manifested in the elegance and vulgarity of sex.

It should be considered that, on the whole, the Japanese nation is an elegant one. In daily life, the Japanese are "gentle, docile, polite and gentle". They express themselves with "gentle human feelings" instead of "dry and blunt theoretical thoughts". Compared with most other nationalities, the Japanese are more bound by feelings. For example, when two people argue, westerners often say angrily, "don't you understand what I mean?" If he is Japanese, he will hide his anger and unhappiness under the mask of politeness and say, "Don't you understand my feelings?" Generally speaking, the Japanese are more tolerant, and often maintain superficial harmony in different ways. Conflicts are always covered by a gentle and polite veil.

This cultural phenomenon is of course manifested in all aspects of social life, as well as in the sexual problems of men and women. In the process of sexual intercourse between men and women in Japan, even if they are prostitutes, people pay attention to rules and manners, and cover up the most vulgar sexual actions with a layer of elegant coat, otherwise they are afraid of being looked down upon by others, and most Japanese are very proud. In this respect, it seems that there are many similarities with "gentleness, kindness, courtesy, frugality and forbearance" advocated by the ancients in China, but the difference is that the Japanese pay more attention to forming this attitude into an external etiquette, and there is also a rough and violent side that forms a sharp contrast. How to make a first-class ppt in Japan

The better ppt practices in Japan are as follows:

1. Determine the theme and structure

Before making a PPT for travel guides, you must first determine the theme and structure. The theme of Japanese tourist guide can be "Tokyo Tour", "Kyoto Cultural Tour" and "go on road trip in Hokkaido", and the structure can be determined according to the theme, such as introduction of scenic spots, traffic routes and food recommendation.

2. collecting materials

collecting materials is the basis of making PPT. You can search related pictures, videos, texts and other materials from the Internet, or you can take photos and videos yourself. The collected materials should be sorted according to the theme and structure, which is convenient for subsequent production and editing.

3. Choosing templates and fonts

Templates and fonts of PPT are also important factors in making PPT. Choose a template suitable for the theme and structure, and an appropriate font can make PPT more beautiful and attractive. At the same time, choose the appropriate font and font size to make the text clearer and easier to read.

4. design layout and style

when making PPT, layout and style also need attention. You can combine pictures and words to design beautiful layouts and styles. At the same time, we should pay attention to color matching and font style to maintain the unity of the overall style.

5. Add animation and music

In order to make PPT more vivid and interesting, you can add some animation effects and music. For example, the gradual change of pictures, the flying of words and other animation effects, as well as background music, can make PPT more vivid and interesting.

To make a beautiful PPT of travel guide, we need to consider many factors, including theme and structure, material collection, template and font selection, layout and style design, animation and music addition, etc. Only by comprehensively considering these factors can we make a satisfactory PPT of travel strategy.
