Cultural Analysis of Japan and Korea
China culture and Japanese and Korean culture have merged in a certain period. For example, there are many similar things in writing, such as "cadres", "police stations" and "socialism". There are many things in Japanese and Korean cultures that can be learned and used for reference. However, when we deeply analyze Japanese culture, we can easily find that Japanese culture is actually the "wind arrow" of European and American culture to some extent.
1. Youth Novel: European and American Rebellious Culture Novel Edition?
The confusion and pursuit of every country and era has always been reflected in young people. Now the famous Haruki Murakami is writing Japanese youth novels. Of course, his colleagues include Ry? Murakami who wrote Almost Infinitely Transparent Blue and Yoshimoto Banana who wrote Kitchen. City life is their perspective, and they see Japan, which is empty, weightless and alienated from people after rapid material development-just like Fitzgerald who witnessed the Great Depression after rapid economic development in the United States in 19 10, just like 1960, the "beat generation" who hated materialistic and distorted America, just like the United States faced in the 1970s and 1980s. Not only that, all the people who appear in Murakami's world love music. The record player in the room and the stereo in the car were always on, and melodious music filled the whole article. However, in the 1960s and 1970s, almost all the music and musicians' names appeared: from classical, jazz, rock, folk songs to pop songs, the only music with great differences was the same European and American background.
2. Pop music: Long live imitation
Has Japan ever had its own original pop music? From alternative, heavy metal, industrial noise to today's hip hop, electronic music, rave electronic music, to R&, it has been reborn in Europe and America in recent years; B Music, the Japanese have never fallen behind in accepting new things. For example, Hip-Hop, a form of rap and dance from black Americans, was popular with DJ KRUSH (the most influential hip-hop DJ/ musician in Japan at present) as soon as it was introduced to Japan.
As for Japanese R&D companies. Kubota Toshinobu, a typical B singer, made her debut as early as 1986, and was later dubbed "Japanese Michael Jackson" by the media. He was content to imitate for ten years and was overjoyed. Last year, the research and development company. B music has risen again in Japan, and the person who started this trend is called "Japan's new R&; Utoda, the "sales queen of B", is at the age of 0/8 in Utoda/KLOC. She grew up in new york, and her fluent English and European appearance are enough to spread all over Japan.
3. Comics: New Violence Aesthetics
Although after more than 40 years of cultivation, Japanese comics have far surpassed its originator-American comics. For example, Toriyama Akira's Dragon Ball has a global circulation of over 1 100 million copies, and the circulation outside Japan accounts for about 40%. Japanese comics have become a strong culture, but it is easy to find the shadow of the United States in Japanese comics. The differences in form between Japanese and American cartoons can't hide their inherent conceptual agreement. European and American cartoons in Japan are not detailed, but focus on the description of the event itself. Self-mockery and self-deprecating humor exaggeration are the strengths of European and American cartoons, which determines that European and American cartoons are different from popular culture such as movies, especially TV. Japanese comics, which used to be beautiful in style, have developed to the present. With the continuous development of painting skills, characterization and ideological connotation, the plot finally turned from superficial tenderness to Japanese melancholy, darkness and killing. They are happy to express their feelings through death, intoxicated by the mystery, temptation and shock of death, and filled all the horror plots with their special aesthetics and desire to express death. Among several classic cartoons, Yoshiki Tanaka's Legend of Heroes of the Galaxy has a mortality rate as high as 99%. These cartoons look like American violent movies and horror dramas. When Japanese dramas become increasingly promiscuous, fashionable and moralized, Japanese cartoons become comic annotations of the new violent aesthetics in Hollywood, USA.
In addition, there are Japanese video games, karaoke and advertisements, which show the fragility and thinness of Japanese culture in essence. Korean song and dance is a model of "visual culture".
2. The influence of Japanese and Korean culture on Japanese teenagers.
An upsurge of "Japanese and Korean culture" has quietly arisen in primary and secondary schools. Students circulate Japanese cartoons to each other, play Japanese video games, and talk about Japanese animation stars and Korean youth idol singers ... Many primary and middle school students who like Japanese cartoons, play Japanese video games and worship Japanese animation stars all worship and imitate Rukawa Kaede, Hanamichi Sakuragi, Conan and Korean singer Ahn Jae Wook in Japanese cartoons as idols. A girl in Grade Two especially likes Japanese comics. She reads them during the day, at night and at dinner. One year later, she has read nearly 100 Japanese comics.
It should be said that these so-called Japanese and Korean cultures meet the psychological needs of children to some extent. Popular Japanese cartoons and Korean idol dramas are mostly based on the campus that children are familiar with, involving all aspects of students' life and thinking. Their personalized language and vivid characters are easily loved by primary and secondary school students. As for some students' worship of Japanese and Korean star groups, it also reflects the lively personality and psychological characteristics of students of this age. However, the popularity of "Japanese and Korean culture" in primary and secondary schools shows that there are problems in our own campus culture construction. Maybe we should think about how to revitalize and prosper our campus culture. When absorbing foreign culture, we should pay attention to distinguish between primary and secondary, absorb its essence and eliminate its dross; There are unhealthy things in Japanese and Korean cultures, which will have an "image" on teenagers' value orientation, way of thinking and behavior. Some unhealthy Japanese and Korean animation and film and television dramas are full of pornography, puppy love, violence and ghosts, which is a kind of temptation and harm to children whose minds are not yet mature. Of course, not all Japanese and Korean cultures entering China are "junk cultures", and we can't totally deny them. However, some primary and middle school students revealed that most of the Japanese cartoons they read are bizarre and violent stories such as love, students running away from home, monsters, fighting and killing. As for the students who worship Korean idol groups, they mainly come for their "coolness", and the colorful hair of the characters in the works fascinates the students. It is particularly noteworthy that some Japanese cartoons are mixed with pornographic content. Therefore, the language, stories, plots and characters in cartoons, cartoons, youth idol dramas and star groups from Japan and South Korea are subtly influencing and changing the thoughts, thinking and behaviors of primary and secondary school students at any time, not "alarmist".
3. The influence of Japanese and Korean culture on China people.
It should be said that not only many teenagers in our country are shocked and strongly attracted by Japanese and Korean cultures, but also the general public in our country are subtly feeling and absorbing what Japanese and Korean cultures bring us-national character. China people admire the true patriotism of Koreans who took out their engagement rings and exchanged them for dollars to pay their debts when the Asian financial crisis broke out and the country was in crisis. They are excited about their anti-corruption efforts, because they sent the once powerful Quan Douhuan and Lu Taiyu to prison, and admired their near-phoenix nirvana miracle from crisis to prosperity ... Many people have realized that all these news from neighboring small countries are not only "news value", but there is nothing behind the "Japanese style" that makes people think deeply. The people's independent personality, indomitable personality and the atmosphere of male chauvinism are all influencing the people of China. From the first day of professionalization, Japanese football was determined to learn from Brazil and take the technical route, and finally achieved hegemony; On the other hand, China, Brazil, Germany and now Yugoslavia; Four, four, two, five, three, two, three, five, two, all tried. Why didn't anything happen? Tough and impetuous, orderly and chaotic, rational and crazy ... Bad ideas in Japanese and Korean cultures are also affecting people. Secondly, the cultures of China and South Korea also have a great influence on the lifestyle of Japanese people. Tatami, ground floor, Japanese-style houses, tea ceremony and flower arrangement all originated in China, but they all borrowed from the life of modern China people. Speaking of Japanese goods, our people all praise their good performance and compact appearance.
4. The influence of Japanese and Korean culture on China's national interests.
The influence of Japanese and Korean culture on China's national interests is mainly reflected in its economic interests. First of all, due to the introduction of a large number of Japanese and Korean cultural products, including film and television dramas and music works, it is bound to occupy a part of the domestic cultural products market, and domestic cultural products are challenged by Japan and South Korea. In terms of market competition, due to the lack of effective measures, the sales of similar products in China will be relatively low. In addition, China's domestic enterprises will not only face severe challenges in the cultural market, but also be gradually "eroded" by Japanese and Korean cultures in terms of scientific and technological products and clothing accessories. In terms of scientific and technological products, the products produced by Japanese and Korean enterprises not only conform to the European and American fashion trends, but also shine with the aesthetic taste of oriental culture, which is more in line with the living habits of orientals. In addition, Japanese and Korean products have indisputable good quality, so they are deeply loved by Japanese consumers. Such as Samsung and LG in the mobile phone market. Sony, Toshiba and so on. In the home appliance market. With the improvement of people's living standards, the hot sales of these products pose a very difficult threat to China mainland manufacturers. The clothing market and jewelry market have also been flooded with Korean-made products, and we can often see customers crowded in Koreatown. The competitiveness of similar products from China in the Japanese market is almost zero.
After China's entry into WTO, the impact and challenge in this respect will be even greater, because foreign companies or foreign capital can directly participate in the production and management of China's cultural products, and Japanese-Korean-funded enterprises will also make a fortune in the China market. We should also note that cultural products are people's special consumer goods, which can cultivate and improve people's cultural literacy by meeting people's spiritual needs. After China's entry into WTO, more and more foreign cultural products will be directly sold to China, and the influence of foreign culture will grow. It makes the confrontation in the cultural field and the attack and defense of public opinion positions more intense and complicated.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Japanese and Korean culture and China's cultural security
The so-called cultural security of our country is our unique national culture and the socialist culture with China characteristics that we are willing to choose. We will not shake its cultural foundation because of external shocks, or we can maintain our own survival and development in the face of external shocks and enhance our vitality. Maintaining cultural security has become a life-and-death choice for a nation and a country. Culture belongs to the national blood. It is the characteristic that distinguishes a nation from other nations, the concentrated expression of all the wisdom and civilization of a nation and a country, the spiritual bond that maintains a country, and the real root of a nation. Cultural prosperity makes the country rich and strong, while cultural decline makes the country dry up. The culture of the Chinese nation is the most distinctive culture in the world, and it is the historical and realistic choice of our nation itself. It is the sacred duty of China people from generation to generation to defend and carry forward the Chinese culture.
More and more countries in the world pay attention to the importance of cultural security. As we all know, France attaches importance to maintaining its own culture. Even Canada, which advocates multiculturalism, actively takes measures to resist the impact of other cultures on its own culture. Because cultural security, like national security, economic security and ideological security, is the greatest national interest. Nowadays, people also realize that a country's economic security problem has been transformed into a cultural security problem. Human history shows that culture, like military and economy, has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, no matter the strong culture or the weak culture, they all have their own survival value and development rights, and they can't bully the weak and be afraid of the hard. There are always some countries in the world that are pursuing cultural hegemony and "cultural colonization" as well as military hegemony and economic hegemony. This raises the issue of cultural security. In the era of globalization and informationization, after China joined the World Trade Organization, China's cultural security has also encountered new threats.
Because Japanese and Korean culture is a disguised form of European and American culture to some extent, although it has been packaged by oriental culture, it still reflects the essential characteristics of European and American culture more or less. Japanese and Korean cultures, like European and American cultures, have strong ideological penetration. There is no essential difference between the "Korean Wave" and "Japanese Style" of the West entering China and Hollywood and McDonald's entering China in sociology and culturology. Therefore, when we oppose the influence of European and American cultures on China's cultural security, we should also pay attention to the threat of the increasingly popular "pro-Japanese faction" and "Korean Wave" to China's cultural security. Although many people think that "Japan-Korea flow" is nothing more than children joining in the fun and following the fashion, it is at best a trick at the consumer level. However, when we were wearing bell-bottoms and sunglasses, did we ever think that European and American cultures had such a great influence on China's culture now? We should take precautions from now on, in order to avoid our hectic schedule when cultural invasion has obviously eroded China's cultural security and even national security.
