战后日本天皇制的保留及其特点和影响

Characteristics and influences of Japan's Mikadosystem retained after World War II

战后 ,美国从切身利益出发 ,在实施对日占领过程中保留了天皇制。其原因既有美国对日本国情的深刻理解和客观判断 ,也有国际形势变化的重要影响。与历史上的天皇制相比 ,现代天皇制具有鲜明的象征性和民主性 ,它对战后日本社会产生了重要影响。

After the Second World War, the U.S. retained the Mikado system in Japan out of its' own interest. The reasons might be: first, America's deep understanding and appropriate judgement of the situation in Japan and, secondly the influence of the world at the time. The contemporary Mikado system is different from what it used to be and has developed some new characteristics. It has exerted great influences on Japanese society in postwar time.
