Thank you for the explanation. I have always wondered why in the warring eras, the shogun never overthrow the emperor. Compare to the Chinese dynasties, where the emperor can be dethroned/killed, and a completely new person becomes the new emperor. But in Japan, the shogunate usually just control the imperial court, and not overthrow them. I thought that was interesting.

yeah, its simply just different... the Japanese emperors claim to be the descendants of God. Cant be eliminated. However Chinese emperors claimed to have mandate of heaven to rule the country not as Gods descendants.. when the mandate of heaven was seen not in their dynasty, then the dynasty must be changed as they were not relevant anymore. The signs of mandate of heaven had left the dynasty were prolong drought, flooding in the rivers, disasters, famine, government corruption, and great war. This were seen when Han, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing fell.

Sadly not all Asian are that fortunate about the knowledge of their tribe or race history. I’m from a small Asian tribe that was enslaved by the Ming dynasty’s empire a long time ago. My ancestors had to fled to Laos 🇱🇦 from slavery then migrated to Thailand during WW2. To this day many of us still don’t know about our true roots and which area we were originally from. We are one of the Asian bloodline that does not have a country and have spread across the globe after WW2. But I love your videos! Keep it up 👍

An amazing episode, as always. I would love if you talked about the few Empresses that Japan had and the ongoing discussion about male only succession, which is a modern concept only,
@ANSELAbitsxb3 жыл бұрын
I think the problem is due to your incorrect assumption. Japan switched to the prussian imperal model in the late 18th centuary. The only times when there was an empress was if the heir was too young or if there were succession disputes in which case there would be a female empress until the heir came of age or the matter is resolved. Furthermore the offspring of a princess cannot become emperors. So in short there have been placeholder empresses at times but never legitimate rulers. In future don't make statements about things you don't fully understand. The solution for the imperial family is to allow polygyny again.
@charlesfu37263 жыл бұрын
@@ANSELAbitsxb Before the Meiji revolution, the offspring of a princess or empress regnant COULD and in some cases DID become emperors, IF THE FATHER HAPPENED TO BE AN IMPERIAL PRINCE. If they were wedded to non-royals then the kids are not considered royal and therefore not eligible, because royalty is passed down by the father, which is why a princess was always considered royalty even when they married commoners (until the Meiji era if memory serves, or after WWII) but not necessarily their sons. Female emperors are counted as legitimate emperors by all means and not placeholders. In fact, all of the female emperors except one were even given a Chineses-style posthumous name(漢風諡號), which was the standard practice during the Nara period. The most logical solution to the succession crisis really isn't to revive polygamy, but to re-admit some of the male descendants of those former royals who got demoted to commoner status after WWII, since there is already precedence of re-admitting former royals who were given a family name and made subjects(臣籍降下)into the royal family. Many of the 旧宮家 are still around and have male descendants.

Some semi-relevant snippets: 1. The Japanese state was, in lore, founded on 11 February 660 BCE. The Imperial family is the same one since that time, and as such, has the claim of having the oldest continuous dynasty, even though the Imperial family renounced their divine claim following their defeat during World War II. 2. The names Izanagi and Izanami may have come from the word _izanau_ (or _izanafu_ in historical orthography), meaning to invite. 3. Shintō and Buddhism syncretised (Shinbutsu-shūgō, 神仏習合). During the Meiji era, they attempted to split Shintō and Buddhism (Shinbutsu-bunri, 神仏分離), but that ultimately failed. (The way I see it, it made Shintō more distinct and more Japanese.) If you find yourself asking the question, "Is Japan predominantly Shinto or predominantly Buddhist?" the answer is a resounding, "Yes." Or a resounding,「はい。」 4. The word samurai (侍) originally denoted a civil servant. 5. During the Boshin War, France supported the Shōgunate faction, in opposition (in conpetition) to the UK, who supported the Imperial faction. I'm pretty sure Shogo-san covered some of these already.
