If you want to understand the status of the archipelago before the founding of Japan, you must make use of the documents from that time. However, there are also many misunderstandings in this literature. In "The Age of the Japanese Kingdom", Professor Hidehiro Okada analyzed the impact of the political trends in mainland China on the Japanese archipelago, specifically explained the content and structure of "Wei Zhi Japanese Biography" and "Nihon Shoki", and from the perspective of world history, he described the real social environment of the Japanese from the establishment of the Japanese royal family to the founding of Japan.
Reader comments
This book gave me a new understanding of Japanese history. Professor Hidehiro Okada's views are very novel. He opposes "divided historiography" and advocates studying Japanese history from the perspective of world history. I strongly agree with this point. Just like when we look for a job, we should not just look at the present, but we should also consider future development and connections with the world. Moreover, some of the views in the book reminded me of my friends around me. Some of them only focus on their own fields and ignore other aspects of knowledge. In fact, this is not conducive to all-round development. In short, this book not only allowed me to understand the history of Japan, but also gave me some inspiration about study and life.
