12月10日のMSN Japan 産経ニュースで筑波大学大学院教授・古田博司の次の言葉が引用されている。“中国人も韓国人も世界史から学ばず、確かに自国史から学んでいる。彼らには「卑劣」ということが分からないのはそのためだ”と。
日本人も韓国人同様シナ（中国）で発達した学問（朱子学・陽明学）を学び日本国内でそれを発展させたが日本においては日本人はその学問に対して多様な考え方をしていた。日本人には元々多様な価値観や考え方を受け容れる素養があったのである。日本人はキリスト教会で結婚式を挙げ、お正月には神社に詣で、葬式は仏教の形式で行う。日本の街中や列車やバスの中で見かける看板や広告の文字は漢字・カタカナ・ひらがな・ローマ字・英語その他の外国語で書かれていてバラエティに富んでいる。しかしそれらの広告や看板は複雑の中にある種の調和が保たれていてそれを見る人に不快感や圧迫感を与えるようなことはない。
もともと多様な価値観を受け容れる素養を持っていた日本人はアジアで真っ先に西欧人の思考態度や物事の認識の仕方を学びとり、philosophyという用語を日本に持ち込むとき苦心の末「哲学」という漢字をこれに与えた。西周や福沢諭吉は西欧の文化を日本に紹介するため漢語による訳語を数多く作った。「哲学」という漢語もその一つである。これらの新造漢語は留学生たちによってシナ（中国）に持ち帰られ、シナ（中国）国内でも使用されるようになり、現在に至っている。しかしほとんどのシナ（中国）人はそのことを全く知らないであろう。同様に韓国人は日本が韓国を併合していた間、韓国の土地台帳や各種インフラや教育制度などを整備したことや、日本が戦後韓国に投入した莫大な資金のことを知らないであろう。
日本人はシナ（中国）人や韓国人とは形質上似ている部分が多い。遺伝子上では日本人だけに特異なミトコンドリアＤＮＡやＹ染色体ＤＮＡがあるがそれ以外の多くの部分ではよく似ている。しかし遺伝子上の細部の情報ではかなり違っているに違いない。シナ（中国）は中華思想に朝鮮（韓国・北朝鮮）は小中華思想に染まっている。何れも日本を見下している。彼らが日本を見下す理由はそれぞれの国の歴史的・文化的な背景があるだけではなく、それぞれの国民の遺伝子に刻み込まれている細部の情報による部分もあると考えられる。歴史や文化的背景を「体外的遺伝子」とし、ＤＮＡを「体内的遺伝子」とすれば、体外・体内の両遺伝子はそれぞれの国の個々の国民の潜在的意識を形成し、集合的無意識となって表面に顕われると考えられる。そのように考えると過去もそうであったように未来も、日本はＥＵのようにシナ（中国）や朝鮮（韓国・北朝鮮）との間で相互信頼の関係を築くことは非常に困難であろう。
ＤＮＡには「自尊感情」に影響を与える遺伝子があることが分かっている。自尊感情とは「自分を大切に思う気持ちや自身の強さ」のことである。『韓国人のしくみ』（講談社現代新書、小倉紀藏著）に「韓国人はプライドが異様なほど高い」と書かれている。韓国人のそのようなプライドによる行為は日本人を辟易させている。人間関係でも国家関係でもお互いが自分または自国の精神を客観的に観察し、把握し、相手とうまくやるように自分または自国の行動を変えなければ決してうまくゆかないであろう。シナ（中国）は尖閣諸島を奪い取るため尖閣諸島は元々シナ（中国）固有の領土であると勝手に宣言して行動している。韓国は江戸時代から日本固有の領土であった竹島を不法占拠し、自国の古地図を改竄して竹島は古来韓国の独島であると主張している。日本はシナ（中国）や韓国の卑劣な態度や行動を決して看過することは出来ない。シナ（中国）や韓国のそのような態度はそれぞれの国民のＤＮＡに刻み込まれている自尊感情と朱子学で培われた固定観念から来ている。彼らの体内遺伝子と体外遺伝子が彼らにそのような態度と行動を取らせているのである。
日本は過去に三回シナ（中国）と朝鮮の連合軍或いはシナ（中国）の配下朝鮮人から成る混成軍による攻撃を受けている。西暦633年には日本と密接な関係にあった百済（当時の朝鮮半島南部の西側の国）が唐（当時のシナ（中国））と新羅（当時の朝鮮半島南部の西側）の同盟軍によって攻撃を受けた。当時日本は４万2千人の軍隊を百済に送り5千人の百済軍と共に百済防衛のため戦ったが百済は滅ぼされ、非常に多数の百済人が百済を去って日本に渡り、日本に帰化した。この敗退によって日本は朝鮮半島において400年間にわたり保持していた権益を一切失ってしまっている。
1281年に蒙古はシナ（中国）に元王朝を建てた。その蒙古は1274年に蒙古・シナ（漢）・高麗（当時の朝鮮半島北部）から成る連合軍約3万人を構成して日本の北九州に侵攻してきたが暴風雨に遇って退散した。1281年にも同じ蒙古・漢・高麗連合軍が北九州に侵攻してきたが、再び台風に遇って約70％の兵員が死亡し、約3万人が日本の捕虜となった。シナ（中国）は自らを4千年の歴史を持つ国と誇るが、漢族の王朝でなかった時代が二度あった。それは蒙古族による元王朝と満州族による清王朝である。現在シナ（中国）共産党が国家を運営しているがその歴史は僅か64年にすぎない。尖閣列島はシナ（中国）共産党が政権を取るずっと以前から日本固有の領土であったのである。
日本は663年の敗退で北九州の防備を固めていた。664年に日本は対馬・壱岐・筑紫（今の福岡県）に防人（守備部隊）と狼煙（通信連絡用手段）を配置し、対馬の他首都（当時、奈良）防衛の為周辺の要地に城を築くなどして防衛体制を固めている。その對馬について韓国は「對馬は韓国領である」と言っている。
日本に対するシナ（中国）や韓国の態度は今後何世紀を経ても変わることはないであろう。日本はこれらの国々と仲良くしようと懸命に努力しているが、相手にはその気持ちがなかなか通じない。日本人はこの現実をしっかりと認識する必要がある。
Consciousness and Buddhism (15).
―― Why do China and Korea turn against Japan? (2).――
The following words of Hiroshi Furuta, the professor of the
University of Tsukuba graduate school, are quoted by the MSN Japan Sankei news
on December 10, That is “Chinese people and
South Koreans are learning nothing from the world history. To be sure, they are
studying only the history of their own country. Therefore, they do not
understand the meaning of mean thing.”
Although Japanese people and Korean people studied the learning
(doctrines of Zhū-Zĭ and doctrines of Wáng-Yáng-Ｍíng), and Japanese
people developed it in Japan, Japanese people had various views to the
learning. Japanese people had the knowledge which receives various senses of
values and various views from the first. Japanese people hold a marriage
ceremony in a Christian church, and visit a shrine in the New Year, and it
holds a funeral in the form of Buddhism. The signboard seen in the inside of
the town in Japan, a train, or a bus and the advertising character are written
in a Chinese character, katakana, a hiragana, a Roman alphabet and English, and
other foreign languages, and are rich in variety. However, since harmony of a
certain kind is maintained at complicated inside, those advertisements and
signboards give neither displeasure nor a feeling of oppression to those who
look at them.
From the first, since Japanese people had
the knowledge which receives various senses of values, Japanese people learned
the method of recognition of Westerners' thinking attitude or things first of
all in Asia, and when carrying a term called philosophy into Japan, they gave
this a Chinese character called the "Tetsugaku（哲学）" end of efforts. Amane Nishi and Yukichi Fukuzawa made many
translations by a Chinese word in order to introduce Western culture to Japan. The
Chinese word "Tetsugaku" is also one of them. These Japanese-made
Chinese words were brought back to China by the foreign students who came to
Japan. And it comes to be used also in the China inside, and has continued up
to now. However, most people of China will not know that at all. Similarly,
Koreans will not get to know that Japan has made a Korean land ledger and
various infrastructures, an educational system, etc. while Korea was annexed by
Japan or about the immense fund which Japan injected into South Korea after the
war.
A Japanese character has many portions
similar to it of the people from China, or Koreans. Although there are unique
mitochondrial DNA and a Y chromosome DNA only in Japanese people on a gene, in
the portion of other many, it is well alike. However, for the information on
the details on a gene, it will surely be considerably different. China is dyed
Sinocentrism(“中華思想” which means thought that China is
the center in the world and the Hàn race's culture and thought have the highest
value in the world.) and Korea is dyed the small Sinocentrism(“小中華思想” which means the variety of the Sinocentrism mainly recited in
Korea. All have looked down on Japan. It is thought that there is not only the
historical and cultural background of each country, but the portion using the
information on the details currently engraved in each people's gene has the
reason they look down on Japan. If history and a cultural background are used
as "an external gene" and DNA is used as "a gene in the living
body", it will be thought that both the genes of the outside of the body
and the inside of the body form the potential consciousness of each people of
each country, serve as collective unconsciousness, and appear in the surface. If
it thinks such, as the past was also so, the future will also be very difficult
for Japan building the relation of mutual trust between China or Korea like EU.
It turns out that there is a gene which
affects "self-respect feeling" in DNA. Self-respect feeling is "the
strength of the feeling which regards itself as important, or self."
"South Koreans are so high that pride is strange" is written to
"South Koreans' structure" (the Kodansha present age pocketbook
written by Norizo Ogura). The act by such South Koreans' pride is nonplusing
Japanese people. Also in human relations, also in national relations, each
observes the soul of himself or his own country objective, and grasps it, and
the action of itself or its own country is changed so that it may do well with
a partner. The mutual relation will never go well, if it is not made such. In
order that China may take the Senkaku Islands, it is freely announced that the
Senkaku Islands was a territory peculiar to China from the first, and is
acting. South Korea carries out illegal occupation of Takeshima who was a
territory peculiar to Japan from the Edo period, the old map of its own country
is altered and South Korea claims that Takeshima is Dokdo in South Korea from
ancient times. Japan can never overlook the mean attitude and action which
China and South Korea have taken. Such an attitude and action of China or South
Korea are coming from the fixed idea cultivated by the self-respect feeling
currently engraved in each people's DNA, and the doctrines of Zhū-Zĭ. Their gene in the living body and external gene have made them
take such an attitude and action.
Japan has received the attack by the
mixed army which consisted of the Allied Forces of China and Korea, or the
subordinate Korean of China three times in the past. Kudara (country of the
west side in the southern Korean Peninsula of those days) which suited the
close relation with Japan received the attack in A.D. 633 by the allied forces
of Táng (China of those days) and Sillagi (country of the west side in the
southern Korean Peninsula of those days). Although Japan sent 42,000 people's
army to Kudara and fought it with 5000 people's Kudara army those days for the
Kudara defense, Kudara was ruined, and very
large number of people from Kudara left Kudara, passed into Japan, and
were naturalized to Japan. Japan has lost entirely the rights and interests
currently held over 400 years in the Korean Peninsula by this defeat.
Mongolia built the Yuān dynasty to China in 1281. Although the
Mongolia constituted about 30,000 Allied Forces who consist of Mongolia, China
(Hàn), and Koma (country of the northern Korean Peninsula of those days) in
1274 and had invaded Kitakyushu in Japan, they met rainstorm and dispersed. Although
same Mongolia, Hàn, and Koma Allied Forces had invaded Kitakyushu also in 1281,
they met rainstorm again, and about 70% of personnel died, and about 30,000
people became a Japanese prisoner of war. Although China was proud of oneself
with the country with 4000 years of history, there were two times which were
not the Hàn race's dynasties. It is a former dynasty by the Mongolia race, and Qīng
by the Manchuria race. Although the China Communist Party is managing the state
now, the history is only 64 years. The Senkaku Islands was already a
territory peculiar to Japan before all the time when the China Communist Party came into power.
Japan had hardened the defense of Kitakyushu by defeat in 663. Japan
has consolidated the defense system in 664 by arranging a signal fire (means
for communication connection) with “防人(defense unit)” to
Tsushima, Iki, and Chikushi (present Fukuoka Prefecture), and building a castle
for defense of Tsushima and other important place surrounding metropolitan
(that time, Nara). South Korea has said about the Tsushima, "Tsushima is
the South Korean territory."
Even if the attitude of China and South Korea against Japan will
pass through what century from now on, it does not change. Although Japan is strenuously
tried hard to make friends with these countries, the feeling does not pass to a
partner easily. Japanese people need to recognize this reality firmly.
