"General History of Japanese Culture" systematically introduces and interprets the historical evolution of Japanese religion, literature, art and other cultural fields, as well as the Japanese national character and national spirit condensed by these cultural elements. It also analyzes and interprets the formation of these cultures in an organic manner with the development of Japanese politics and society. From a comparative perspective, the author discusses Japan's long history of interacting with China and integrating Chinese culture for more than a thousand years, as well as its fresh experience of communicating with the West and adapting to Western culture for more than a hundred years in modern times. At the same time, the author also pointed out that in the history of Japan, there have been ideological trends of total "Chinese style" and total "foreign style", but Japan ultimately used "Japanese soul Han talent" and "Japanese soul Western talent" as the guiding ideology of foreign cultural exchanges, and built a cultural model of "conflict, coexistence, and integration" to absorb and digest foreign culture, thereby creating a unique cultural system and values.
