I've been told by people that everything of ancient Japanese culture is of Chinese origin.
So then I was curious as to what concept Japanese got Yomi from that was Chinese in origin.
Sorry, but the frequency of inconsistencies in their books lead me to believe that Japan does not accept the world view of human evolution, that is to say, Japan believe that they are a different breed of chosen from their Tenno-Heika, just like how God made Adam and Eve...... The similarities is according to them is coincidental...
Ishihara once put it this way: "we don't have criminal genes", indicating that he believes that Nihon-jin and that it is necessary to distinguish between Nihon-homosapien and Gaijin-homosapien, from a nationalist view that is.
Stop trolling. Reported.Oh no... not another "I love Japan! I want to live there, I want to go to Japanese hell and everything in life is going to be wonderful living with the undead just like in all the anime" people! Phah, you annoy the hell out of me!! *Grar*
Stop trolling. Reported.
Anyway, don't discount Korea here. I'm limited on my knowledge of Korea itself; however, there are numerous instances of shared cultural practices and concepts that may have entered Japan from China or Japan via Korea. In some cases you might find more information on interpretations or beliefs like this in Korea as well that may have carried over to Japan, both originating from China. This is a bit of a guess however, as I'm not familiar with the subject much and traditional Korean beliefs.
Finally, don't rule out checking into Hinduism beliefs in hell that may have carried over to China as well.
I hear people say things like that a lot. Most of the time they aren't joking.Wow... what is wrong with you? Trolling? Did you actually read my post? You know, the TWO-THIRDS of it that directly covering what you were speaking of? You know... this BIG PART right here below the short joking comment?
Furthermore, as some one who is an Asian Studies major interested in the same sorts of topics, spent two years of study in Japan, and has a friend who actually runs a Buddhist temple in Japan I came back online looking into things a bit further for you planning on posting further information... and I find this rude, ungrateful, narrow minded, reply left by you! It is unwarranted exaggerations like this that bring down the mood of JRef even more than it has been recently. Heck, in some ways the whole mood has effectively become one that of a gated senior community.
I think people who say "everything Japanese is Chinese origin or you're a racist and a nationalist and not understanding the obvious that Japan is an Asian country" is just propaganda.
サービス終了のお知らせRecently, a kind of claims became popular in Korea. The claims is that most of Japanese culture originated from Korea. These claims are lack of reasonable grounds, but most of the claims can be read in English web pages. This is a subtle approach to spread their claims around the world.
What make Korean people believe unreasonable claims are two psychological reasons.......................................
There are some unwritten facts in Korean history textbooks(note1).
As I wrote before, the modernization and independence by Japan is one of such historic taboos.

Now I will introduce another historic taboo, which is ancient Japan's expansion to Korean Peninsula. Korean history textbooks do not describe this fact, too.
Japan's expansion is also recorded on Gwanggaeto(The king of Goguryeo(B.C.37?-A.D.668) stele, which is designated a World Heritage Site. But some historians of Korea or from Korea have claimed that this record did not originally supported ancient Japan's expansion because Japanese Army had altered this record. Though their claim turned out to be a groundless accusation, their claim have been preventing this stele from being subjected to study for years.
But do you wonder why Korean historians want to deny fighting off the invasion of ancient Japan ?
Korean textbooks describe proudly they fought off Hideyoshi's expansion. They also describes proudly Gwanggaeto fought off ancient Japan's expansion as his stele.
Why don't they accept ancient Japan's expansion?..............
He was not banned (I don't think), I'm pretty sure he retired his account because he was sick of the responses people were giving him. I don't know why it says "banned" when people voluntarily leave. Administration might want to adjust that to say "retired" or something.
Oh and caster is never kidding. Read some of his other posts, you two should get along great.(sense the sarcasm)
