日本人的“村八分”心理及成因探析

Mentality and Causes of Japanese "Murahatibu"

在对江户时代日本乡村社会中存在的"村八分"制裁措施及其在现代日本社会中的心理表现进行阐述的基础上,分析了"村八分"的心理及其形成原因。指出"村八分"思想的形成与日本的自然环境、稻作文化和儒家文化有着密切的联系,而儒家文化中"以和为贵"的思想对"村八分"心理的形成也起到了推波助澜的作用。进而认为,虽然作为一种制裁措施"村八分"已被禁止,但其思想却深深地扎根于日本人的心中。在耻感文化的作用下,日本人自然会保持"村八分"心理。

Murahatibu,the punitive measures formed in the countryside of Japan in the Post-Edo era,is particularly analyzed in this article in terms of mentality,causes and its manifestations in the modern Japanese society.The formation of Murahatibu is closely related to the Japanese natural environment,rice cultivation culture and Confucius culture.Besides,the ＂Peace is the best option＂ ideology in the Confucius culture really plays a great part in the formation of Murahatibu.Nowadays in the society,the Murahatibu ideology is still deeply rooted in the Japanese mentality,though banned as punitive measures.Owing to this shame culture,Japanese people tend to keep their Murahatibu mentality spontaneously up till now.
