The Japanese national anthem is only 28 words, which is translated into Chinese as follows: My Mikado system has been passed down for thousands of generations. It has been passed down for 8 thousand generations; Until the pebbles turn into boulders, until the boulders grow moss.

We can realize the ambition contained in it. The following is a detailed description of the ambition behind the Japanese national anthem:

1. Background of the Japanese national anthem:

The official name of the Japanese national anthem is Dai Jun (Dai Jun), which was written in heian period and adopted as the national anthem of Japan in 1880. This national anthem expresses the reverence for the emperor and the motherland in the way of ancient royal singing. However, although these songs are simple on the surface, they have far-reaching historical and political significance behind them.

2. The ambition of the Japanese national anthem:

Meaningful words: Although the Japanese national anthem has only 28 words, every word in it has far-reaching significance. For example, Dai Jun symbolizes the rule handed down from generation to generation by the emperor and embodies the core of Japanese Mikado system. The lyrics also include discussions on major issues such as national prosperity, national unity and national destiny.

3. Expression of national consciousness:

Loyalty to the monarch and patriotism: Japan's national anthem expresses its loyalty to the emperor and love for the motherland, and emphasizes Japan's defense obligation to the country. This is a national concept that emphasizes that individuals obey the whole country, which is closely related to Japan's loyal tradition and national spirit since ancient times.

Symbol of nationalism: Although the Japanese national anthem ostensibly emphasizes patriotism, some words and expressions in the song are also used to promote nationalism and militarism. In some periods of Japanese history, the national anthem was used as a tool to shape national consciousness and strengthen national discipline, and was abused to promote extreme nationalism and expansionism.

4. Contemporary disputes and reforms:

Calling for the revision of the national anthem: the Japanese national anthem has been controversial for decades. Some people think that the symbolic meaning of the old national anthem is inconsistent with the values of modern society, and call for modifying the lyrics or choosing a new national anthem. However, such a proposal has also caused differences and disputes from all walks of life.

Limitation of legal significance: Although the Japanese national anthem is controversial, Dai Jun is still the official national anthem of Japan. According to the Japanese law "National Honor and National Anthem Law", the singing and saluting of the national anthem is stipulated by law and enforced on specific occasions.

Expand knowledge:

Japanese emperor system: Japan is the only country in the world that still retains the emperor system. The emperor has a symbolic position in Japan's constitutional system and is regarded as the symbol of the country and the spiritual pillar of the nation. Nationalism and militarism in Japan: In Japanese history, especially around the Second World War, strong nationalism and militarism appeared, which had a far-reaching impact on Japanese society and politics.

Summary:

Although the Japanese national anthem "Dai Jun" has only 28 words, it contains far-reaching historical and political significance. Lyrics express reverence for the emperor and the motherland, but also imply Japan's unique national consciousness and nationalist tendency.
