In order to get rid of backwardness, get rid of the status of being enslaved by foreign countries, strive for national independence, and then dominate East Asia, the leaders of the Meiji government of Japan put forward three policies of "colonizing the industry", "civilizing" and "enriching Qiang Bing" with reference to the economies of western capitalist countries as the general guidelines for guiding national construction. First, the policy of "developing industries through reproduction" was put forward in 1874 by first-class leaders such as Kubojun after visiting Europe and America and returning to China. There are three main contents: (1) fostering capitalism with the strength of the state. Run large-scale government-run demonstration enterprises, introduce advanced technology, and hire foreign technicians as "demonstrations". (2) Promote the primitive accumulation of capitalism with the power of the state. (3) introduce advanced western technology and equipment with national strength, hire foreign experts and send overseas students. Second, "civilize" and vigorously develop education. "Civilization" was a popular slogan in the early years of Meiji, and it was also a national policy of great strategic significance for Meiji government. Its specific content is to extensively study the science and technology, culture and education, ideology and lifestyle of the western bourgeoisie. In 187 1 12, the Meiji government sent a huge delegation led by Meiji elders Takagi Kimoto and Junichi Kubo, and visited 18 European and American countries in the past two years. After returning home, the delegation set off an upsurge of learning from the West in Japan. In order to meet the needs of modernization, the Meiji government carried out a large-scale educational reform with reference to the western educational model. The educational reform has popularized cultural knowledge to the whole people, improved the quality of the people, trained a large number of scientific and technological talents and business management talents, and played an immeasurable positive role in Japan's leap from a backward feudal country to a forest of advanced powers. Third, "rich country Qiang Bing". In the early years of Meiji, in order to consolidate the landlord-bourgeois regime, the slogan "Rich Qiang Bing" was put forward. "Enriching Qiang Bing" is the ultimate goal of Meiji government's series of reforms and construction. Its specific content is to reform the old military system and establish a standing army and a standing army. The Japanese army imitates Prussia and the navy imitates the United States. Japan's new army is called "imperial army", that is, the emperor's army. Soldiers were indoctrinated with the reactionary "bushido spirit" of loyalty to the emperor.
