东京迁都的设计过程与明治天皇的作用

The Designing Process of Tokyo Capital Moval and the Function of Meiji Monarch

明治维新之前,日本曾经为寻找近代化赖以展开的中心平台——国家新都而煞费苦心。由于无论是政治、经济意义还是制度、文化价值,也无论是出于西学仿效目的还是地缘战略考虑,政府最后选中的是德川幕府所在地——江户(东京)。明治天皇的意义,体现在对迁都过程的睿智把握、和平缓进和及时决断上。通过这一过程而逐渐形成的君主立宪制中央集权,使日本在二十几年内初步完成了近代资本主义改造。它是近代以来第一个崛起于东亚地区的近代化典范,却也同时成为该地区第一个以邻为敌的侵略国家。

Before the Meiji Restoration, Japan seeks for the new capital which is the center for the modernism through kinds of ways. Due to the political and economic sense, economic and culture value and space site, the government decides to choose Tokyo to be its capital. The sense of Meiji monarch embodies on the sagacious confidence, peaceful process and timely decision upon the removing capital. Through this process, it forms the centralization of state power for the monarch and achieves the modern capitalism reform preliminarily in twenties years. So Japan is the model in the Northeast Asia, which is the first country to spring and the first country to invade the neighboring countries.
