Causes of cultural differences between China and Japan

The reasons for the cultural differences between China and Japan.

Because of the differences in cultural values ??between China and Japan

. Belief in gods

The Yamato nation is a nation that believes in nature, and nature is God. Those who obey it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Just like our Chinese nation refers to the dragon as the soul of the nation. They believe in this They believe that their "gods" and "spirits" are very pious. There are countless shrines and temples all over the country, especially in the Kyoto area.

Because of the difference in value

Due to the different social nature from Japan, the value orientations of the Chinese and Japanese are also completely different. Due to special historical reasons in the past, China has lost many ethnic groups It is a unique value orientation, but with the reform and opening up, a fusion value orientation was born after absorbing Western culture. On the one hand, it should be seen that the Chinese people have a strong desire to learn new things after being fully exposed to Western capitalist society. The personality openness index has also been greatly improved compared to the planned economy era. This is very worthy of recognition and encouragement. But at the same time, it must be reminded that due to previous historical reasons, Chinese people’s characters are mixed with traditional ideas and Western thoughts. Social values. In summary, the value orientation of the Chinese people is unstable and easily shaken. For example, the "fever for going abroad" and the "fever for stocks" after the reform and opening up. Behind this series of positivity, we must also admit that they bring people The dangers of blindness and poor opinions. And these - blind pursuit and weak judgment are things that cannot be affirmed in the Chinese people's value orientation.

As mentioned earlier, the Yamato nation They are a very stoic nation, which has contributed to their advancement in technology.

The reason for the cultural differences between China and Japan is the difference in artistic creation

2.1 Differences in artistic creativity

China is a 5,000-year-old civilization and enjoys unlimited cultural Replaceable status. Chinese poetry has already gained its due status in the world of poetry with its unique rhythm. In addition, the Chinese pentatonic scale has long been proven by the world to be as good as any scale. (Of course, any scale is equally great.). Although Chinese philosophy has a deep feudal imprint, it is still as famous as Greek philosophy and German philosophy due to its profound analysis.< /p>

In comparison, the gap in cultural heritage between the two countries is obvious. Japan certainly has national quintessences such as tea ceremony, flower arranging, and Faust paintings, but it is indeed inferior compared to China.

What deserves attention It's modern.

The reason for the cultural differences between China and Japan is the difference in artistic creativity. Artistic creativity only shows some differences, and it is difficult to compare because of the different dimensions of artistic personality it expresses. Chinese artistic creation It is a relatively unified work with few auras. I have watched the works of some film school students, and I really can’t praise them. In some of today’s avant-garde art fields, WEB vision and multimedia vision have not yet made great achievements. And what about Japan? ?

Japan. It is undeniable that it has always maintained its status as an oiran in the field of animation. Creativity can be said to be an important factor in the success of Japan’s animation industry. The non-internationalization of Japanese language is the result of Japanese film exports A big shortcoming, but animation has the characteristics of light language and emphasis on expression, which is easy for people to understand. In addition, animated movies shoot pictures one by one, so any subject matter can be used freely. In cartoons, not only In Japan, any place can become a stage, and any character can become a protagonist. Taking full advantage of the inherent characteristics of animation - "statelessness", the export competitiveness of Japanese animation has greatly increased. In contrast, China's artists , but lack the sense of innovation and competitive spirit. Chinese cartoons also have a glorious history, such as "Havoc in Heaven" in the 1960s and "Nezha Havoc in the Sea" in the late 1970s, both of which are among the best in the world. It occupies a position that Chinese cartoons are even collectively referred to as the "Chinese School" internationally. The "Japanese Animation Producers Alliance" organized two delegations to China in 1959 and 1960 to inspect the art of Chinese cartoons. Later, the relationship lacked the driving force. , making it lose its competitiveness in this field. It is very regrettable.

Similarly, in the field of avant-garde art, Japan is also in an ignorant stage. Few outstanding works have been produced. Due to the avant-garde art (mostly visual art) ), has shifted to SOHO (small office home office), so for art workers in this field in the two countries, opportunities are still equal. Generally speaking, in modern times, the two countries only have artistic creativity. Differences. There is no absolute difference between good and bad.

2.2 Differences in artistic creation orientation

2.1 mentioned the difference in artistic creativity between the two countries. It only talked about internal factors-- --Differences in national personalities. Under the influence of external factors-----social systems, value systems, etc., the two countries have almost opposite artistic orientations.

As mentioned in 1.1, China's Some religious myths are similar to Christianity. The biggest teachings of Christianity are to eliminate heresy (prominence of things) and establish equality (everyone is mediocre). These are caused by national personality, and national personality is the orientation of artistic creation.

Like Christianity, Chinese literature and art also opposes dark things, killing and absurdity; while Japanese literature and art, due to its more open mind, unscrupulously incorporates melancholy, pessimism, and even despair and other negative aspects of human beings. Emotions (also the great god of art) are incorporated into art. This is why Japanese literary and artistic works are very morbid and Chinese literary and artistic works are very plain and pale. Of course, these "melancholy, absurd, desperate, morbid" ", plain, pale" is just a parameter that cannot be calculated by looking at every corner of the world's artistic creation to compare the differences between China and Japan.

The reason for the cultural differences between China and Japan is the difference in social scenery

Japan under capitalist society is one thing, and China under socialism is another thing.

As far as family is concerned, Japan is very open, but Japan is also very conservative. Japan is still very conservative today ----- due to the shortcomings of the constraints of women's rights.
