试析神道教与日本军国主义

Analysis of Shinto and the Japanese Militarism

神道教是日本人所独有的宗教信仰。原始神道教经过漫长的历史过程逐渐积淀成日本的民族宗教。近代以来,神道教被奉为日本军国主义的思想理论基础。在日本军国主义的支配下,神道教对内成为毒化和控制日本国民的思想工具,对外成为武力扩张的精神动力。近些年来,日本军国主义有死灰复燃之势,神道教又成为日本右翼势力否认侵略历史的思想基础,这从根本上影响了日本人民对战争的正确认识。

Shinto is an exclusive religion of Japan. Shinto took a long time to become a national religion. Since modem times ,Shinto has been the tool for the Japanese militarists to control ideology of the populace and it is the ideological foundation in Japan and the spirit motive for the expansion of Japanese military forces outside Japan. Recently, there seems to be a renewal of the Japanese militarism. Shinto is again the ideological foundation of the Japanese right wingers attempts to reverse the historical truth and thus interferes with Japanese people＇s understanding of the true pieture of the war.
