When we watch those anti-Japanese dramas full of blood and passion, perhaps few people really consider the cultural differences and historical background behind them. The Japanese army's angry shouting of "Bagaya Road" made people indignant, but few people delved into its true meaning.
The word "Hachigayaji" is deeply rooted in Japanese culture. It is not a simple swearing, but carries the contempt and anger of the Japanese towards the Chinese. Etymologically, "Hachigayalu" is actually a transliteration of the Japanese language, which means "red deer noro", where "red deer" refers to stupidity, bastard, and "noro" is a vulgar scorn. In Japanese culture, the "Hachigaya Road" is often a rebuke of the superior to the inferior, implying a class divide and contempt for others.
Such cultural differences are not set in stone. Historically, the cultures of China and Japan have been inextricably linked. Since the Tang Dynasty, Japan has begun to learn culture from China, sending envoys to learn Confucianism, art, and institutions. This kind of learning is not a one-way replication, but a reinterpretation and integration in the context of Japan. For example, the kneeling culture in Japan originally originated from the Chinese way of sitting, but it has been improved and developed in Japan and has become a part of Japanese culture.
The same is true of wedding customs in Japan. Although there are similarities to Chinese weddings, the Japanese have reinterpreted them with white wedding dresses and white garlands, presenting a different style from traditional Chinese weddings. The re-creation and development of this culture is not only a respect for tradition, but also a response to the times.
While watching the anti-Japanese drama, we should also reflect on our own attitude towards history and culture. Cultural exchange and collision are the source of enriching human civilization, and understanding and respect for other cultures are the key to building a harmonious world. Perhaps, after the "Baga Ya Road", we should explore the commonalities between Chinese and Japanese cultures, rather than just nostalgia for confrontation and confrontation.
Perhaps, in this world of strife and misunderstanding, we all need more tolerance and understanding. In your ** process, do you also have some insights? Feel free to leave your comments and share your views and opinions.
