Why do I say that? It's not that he is inherently despised, and there is no superiority in religion.
I look down on the so-called Shinto religion in Japan because Japan's Shinto religion has completely shifted Taoist culture, but the Japanese still don't recognize it.
The so-called Shintoism born in Japan is the plagiarized Chinese Taoism, and the mythological origins in it, such as the emperor, the sacrificial system, the shrine maiden, the onmyoji, the drawing of talismans, the pinching of the formula, and the chanting of mantras, ......It's basically not much different from Taoism, and even the name is taken from Shinto in Taoism. It can be said that you directly move Taoism to the past, and then change the name of the Taoist immortals, and then change it indiscriminately, and it will become Shintoism. It is equivalent to us putting the various systems, prayer methods, and myths and stories of the Western ** religion ,......Move it all to China, and then put God, Jesus, ......Change the name and replace it with our own Sanqing, the Jade Emperor ......
In fact, we have learned a lot from the West, and we have also learned a lot of techniques through Japan, but the disgusting thing is that you don't admit it after you learn it, which is inferiority.
It is said that Koreans steal our culture, and Japan admits to learning from Chinese culture, but in fact, Japan is no better, and they still do not admit to learning from China in some aspects.
When I was looking for information on the relationship between Taoism and Shintoism, I read such a material, Japanese scholars did have a debate here, some Japanese scholars said that Shintoism was greatly influenced by Taoism, and for example, what eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade and other artifacts in Japan, the names, are all from Taoism, but many Japanese scholars do not admit it, and also belittle Taoism, Taoism is shallow, not worth learning, the example given is just that Japan has learned Taoist knowledge, and has not been influenced by Taoism ......
This controversy, which could not be argued, directly turned into the self-deception of inferiority nationalism, and the discourse was inconsistent and unreasonable.
