“生存”哲学与自然映像的结晶——从风土之源看日本文化的特性

A Result of the Combination of the "Existence" Philosophy and Natural Reflection——A Reviewing of the Characteristics of the Japanese Culture from the Perspective of its Natural Conditions and Social Customs

日本文化虽然包含了大量外来文明吸收的成果,但是已然具有了其自身鲜明的特色。日本文化的形成是与日本独有的自然环境所造就的风土人情分不开的。日本民族不仅有其固有的文化特性,而且一直按照自己的意愿和特色打造、铸炼着自己的文化。日本文化之于日本人的思想行为,从国内到国际上都有着重要的影响。因此,要了解日本,就必须先虚心地研究日本的文化,而且要尽可能地从更贴近日本人的视角、更符合日本实情的方向去观察、分析。

Although the Japanese culture has absorbed plenty of the accomplishments of the foreign culture, it has already formed its own peculiar characteristics as well. The formation of the Japanese culture cannot be separated from its unique natural conditions and social customs that are created by its special natural surroundings. The Japanese nation not only has its own inherent cultural features, but also has been actively trying to form a culture that is based on its own will and of its own characteristics. The Japanese culture has been imposing important influences on Japanese people both nationally and internationally. Hence, to have good knowledge of Japan, it is necessary to study the Japanese culture with a modest attitude and to observe and analyze its culture from a perspective that is close to the Japanese people and better fits the realistic conditions of Japan.
