Description
Summary:碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 日本語文學系 === 89 === The outcome which Japan complete westernize in modern times emerged the centrifugal tendency naturally to the Asia with the China as the leader. After seeing that China failed in reform in modern times and becoming the second-colony of western big powers, Yukichi Fukuzawa changed the attitude that he worshiped China in the past and made the centrifugal tendency apparently. Finally, it caused the tide of “Throw Away the Asia and Meet Europe”. The man that plays a key role in the presence of all is Yukichi Fukuzawa, who is a philosopher in modern Japan. Yukichi Fukuzawa followed the spirit of independence and self-respect. For one thing, he gave the great effort to advocate the “civilized culture” and made the modern Japan step to the road of advanced civilization. Therefore, Japanese respect him as teacher of the spirit of Japan naturals and the Father of Japan culture. On the other hand, when he faced the crisis of Japan diplomacy and the feelings of contempting China, he brought up that the nation authority is above all. He took a firm attitude to preach the diplomatic policy that extended to China. Itmade that the modern Japan sink into the contradiction of respecting the ancient China yet contempting the modern China according to his sense of China and then led to the road of imperialism. Eventually, the war of invading China broke out. Nowadays the sense of the contradiction is still not yet when the war is over. However, it continued to affect the interior or domestic affairs and diplomacy in the present generation in Japan. As a result, the author would like to explore his sense of China, explain his change of thoughts and his sense of China. The auther hopes that it will contribute a lot to our country when we research the thought of Japan and the diplomatic affairs of Japan.
