冲绳教育近代化掩盖下的皇民化政策——日本殖民地教育的开端

The Under Covered Japanization Policy under Okinawa Education Modernization——Initialization of Japanese Colonization Education

近代以来,日本通过"琉球处分"强行吞并了琉球王国,并设置冲绳县。这一事件的殖民扩张性质不仅反映在日本单方面进行所谓"琉球处分"的过程上,从日本之后在冲绳县推行的政策亦能看出端倪。日本在冲绳县不惜财力推广近代教育,只是促使琉球遗民能尽快融入到日本国家体系当中的一种手段。这种人为割裂琉球人民固有文化传统、植入"大和意识"取而代之的做法,开创了日本对被侵略地区人民进行"皇民化教育"的先河。对于日本在冲绳施行之文化怀柔政策的进一步认识,将为审视日本的"琉球处分"、乃至批判日本的对外侵略提供新的视角。

Since modern times, Japan has set up Okinawa Prefecture after annexing the Ryukyu Kingdom by “Ryukyu dispose” forcibly. The nature of Japan’s colonial expansion of this event was not only reflected in the so called “Ryukyu dispose” process, but in the policy carried out in the following colonization. The purpose of Japan’s impelling modern education in Ryukyu at all cost was to assimilate local residents into Japanese national system as soon as possible. The practice of splitting local residents from inherent cultural traditions and implanting “Yamato Consciousness”was groundbreaking for Japan proceeding “Japanization education” in colony. The better understanding of Japan’s cultural policy of conciliation in Okinawa will help to deepen survey on its “Ryukyu dispose” policy and foreign aggression criticization.
