日本民族文化的“底色”正在悄悄地改变

Hidden Characteristics of Japanese National Culture Change Quietly

日本在推进国际化多元化过程中,具备本土民族传统文化浓厚“底色”的神道教近年持续出现信徒人数大滑坡的现象,值得深度研究。虽然神道教早已根植于世俗民众的生活习惯,与日本传统文化融合为一体,但是开放的国际化进程拓宽了人们的视野,对社会生活产生了显著影响,导致人们对神道教的信仰开始发生裂变。尽管这并不足以改变整个日本社会文化的根本现实,神道教依然是日本民族文化的底色之一,并继续深刻影响着日本国民的思想与文化走向,但正是这种信仰裂变反衬出了“底色”的悄然改变。

During the process of promoting internationalization and diversification of Japan,Shinto with strong“hidden characteristics”of traditional Japanese culture has been losing its devotees sharply in recent years,which deserves in-depth study.Although Shintoism has long been integrated into people’s customs and Japanese traditional culture,people’s belief in Shintoism began to change due to the internationalization process,which broadened people’s horizons and had a significant impact on social life.Although this is not enough to change the fundamental status quo of the whole Japanese society and culture,Shinto is still one of the hidden characteristics of Japanese national culture and continues to profoundly influence the ideological and cultural trend of Japanese nationals,but it is this belief change that reflects the change of“hidden characteristics”.
