After the Meiji Restoration, many talents in China also expected the restoration to save the country, but all of them ended in vain. In fact, Japanese society is very different from China before Meiji Restoration. At the end of the Edo period, education in Japan had reached a fairly high level. This may not have occurred to many people. This also laid the foundation for Japan's later industrialization. At the time of China's Hundred-Day Reform, Liang Qichao believed that China Imperial Examination Network did its best to learn empty and useless learning, so that students "learned that they had been bound by official orders, driven by official orders, overwhelmed and unable to extricate themselves." During the Edo period in Japan, education was widely popularized and diversified. For example, Japanese public schools at that time were called "learning centers", which mainly taught China ancient philosophy and literature, and usually taught children to read. Let's go back to the topic of education. After Japan established relations with foreign countries, many learning institutions began to teach Dutch, western technology and other salvation. Japanese governors also have their own schools. The vassal school was originally designed to train warriors, so that these security guards were not only physically strong, but also culturally literate, so as to avoid being picky by the "master". By the end of Edo, many Tibetan schools began to add military and foreign languages. Because of this, the samurai class has gradually become a class with culture, technology, strength and ideals. They are ready to go, waiting for the moment when they step onto the stage of history. In addition to colleges and religious studies, there are also private schools and temples in Japan. Folk schools are mainly schools run by some scholars themselves, spreading Confucianism and Chinese studies, and later mainly teaching foreign languages and technologies. Students are not limited to soldiers. By the end of Edo, many aspiring young people eager to serve the motherland and change the situation of the country joined the folk schools in succession. Like the later hero Nobuyuki Takayama, the most famous Japanese Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito and the famous reformer and educator Fukuzawa Yukichi all graduated from private schools. The so-called temple is a private children's education school. Because the life of Japanese farmers is still relatively moist, many ordinary people are enthusiastic about educating their children, and temple houses can be seen everywhere from cities to villages. Before Meiji Restoration, Japanese commerce was very developed. Because celebrities from all over the world often report to Edo, they often travel between Edo and neighboring countries, which provides a great space for the economic development of the places they pass through. Later, the shogunate opened five main commercial routes and several sea routes, and merchants along these routes undertook the project of providing horses and manpower for past officials and guests. With the development of rice market and handicraft industry, wealthy businessmen and loan sharks have become the envy of the Japanese, just as we worship Buffett today. Osaka, a traditional Japanese commercial city, has also become a bustling city with businessmen and usurers. The city has also formed a rice futures market, which is the earliest futures market in the world. Hundreds of years later, Wall Street, once regarded as an American investment paradise, became desolate overnight, while Osaka, a somewhat ancient commercial city, is still running strongly. Many consortia and enterprises originating in this city still dominate the trend of the world economy, and they will generate more powerful forces to change the world in the future. Who would have thought that, in fact, all this was doomed long before the Meiji Restoration. Agriculture, commerce, education and transportation are all developing naturally. Capable people, ambitious people and warriors are all ready to go. By the middle of19th century, they seemed to have reached a new starting point. They seem to have found the mental code. After the opening, a beautiful and passionate world unfolded in turn, and they shocked the world with struggle, conspiracy and killing. Next, we will master this password and see this new world.
