Jilin Shrine, Evidence of Japanese Spiritual Aggression

In Jilin Children's Park, there is a cement candlestick. It is located in an inconspicuous place in the northeast corner of the Children's Park. It is a relic of Jilin Shrine and one of the evidences of Japanese invaders' aggression against China. What the hell is a shrine? * * * Data show that the Japanese believe in God and think that Japan is a "country of God", and all Japanese are descendants of God. So there are shrines where Japanese people live. During the Japanese invasion of Chinese mainland, Japanese officials set up 52 shrines in various parts of China, most of which were set up during the eight-year period in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. During the puppet Manchukuo 14 (1931-1945), the Japanese government set up 295 shrines in northeast provinces, with as many as 1944. In general, the gods enshrined in the shrine are the "gods", the "Order of Auspicious Mind" and the Meiji Emperor. The first is the legendary ancestor of the Japanese royal family, known as the "Yuan God", that is, the "God among the gods", the highest god. The second, also known as the "God of Great Powers", is the legendary Izumo God in Japan, and the Japanese people regard it as the God who dominates human medicine and marriage. The third time was the implementation of various reforms in modern times (known as "Meiji Restoration" in history), the overthrow of the shogunate and the establishment of Meiji Emperor Mu Ren. During his 45 years in office, he turned Japan from a feudal backward country into an advanced capitalist country, launched the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and launched the Russo-Japanese War for the hegemony of the Far East, which led Japan to the road of imperialism and militarism. Sacrificing this "desolate Lord" is actually advocating and advocating militarism. As the national Shinto of Japanese militarism, Japanese shrines are built wherever they hit. Every time there is a major event, there will be ceremonies such as "National prestige Publicity and Blessing Conference" and "Imperial Antai Blessing Conference" to boost morale and comfort military families. As long as the Japanese invaders have been there, almost all of them have had such Japanese monuments or torii, but now most of them have been demolished or rebuilt for other purposes. Jilin shrine was a weapon enslaved by Japan during its invasion of China. As the capital city of Jilin Province, it is inevitable to establish a shrine. In the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1934), the Japanese invaders founded the Jilin Shrine and chose the place called Jiushu at that time. In the west of here is Jinjiayao Pit, where the original Jilin borrowed soil to burn bricks when building the city wall; To the east is the ancestral grave of General Yigu of Suiyuan in the late Qing Dynasty. The tombstone stands in two ways. First, the Qing emperor named the general as the tombstone of Chang 'an Mausoleum, and second, the Qing emperor named the general as the tombstone of Han Dynasty. After the Japanese invaders filled the kiln pit, leveled the cemetery and leveled the land, it took a year to establish the Jilin Shrine. Since then, not only the Japanese invaders came here to worship, but also forced the people of China to worship and enslaved the people of Jilin spiritually with Shinto. In "My First Half Life", Puyi, the emperor of the Puppet Manchukuo, has a memory that the Japanese instilled Japanese Shinto thoughts to an absurd extent: In order to make me and the puppet ministers accept Shinto thoughts, the Japanese Kwantung Army took pains to invite the famous Shinto teacher Ke Yan (said to be a Shinto lecturer of Empress Dowager Cixi of Japan) to give us a lecture. This Shinto always has many strange teaching materials when giving lectures. For example, there is a wall chart with a tree on it. According to him, the root of this tree is equal to the Shinto of Japan, and the branches on it belong to all religions in various countries. The so-called Babiyu means that everything is rooted in the ancestors of Japan. Another piece of paper is painted with a bowl of clear water, and several soy sauce bottles and vinegar bottles stand beside it, saying that clear water is a Japanese Shinto, while soy sauce vinegar is a world religion, such as Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Christianity, * * * and so on. Shintoism in Japan is like pure water, and other religions originated from Shintoism in Japan. There are still many strange Tan, the details can't be remembered ... "Today's Jilin Shrine has long lost its original appearance, and even two obvious candlesticks were demolished in 2007. Now the remaining one has a fence, with a sign of "Key Protection of Historic Sites", and a brief introduction that it is a relic of Jilin Shrine. The location of the shrine is now the 4D cinema (note: 4D cinema is in a state of expropriation and is now idle). There are wood carvings at the four corners of the house, and wooden columns can be seen at the bottom of the wood carvings. The decoration of the North House is consistent with the photos taken in the 1980s, and so is the decoration of Gate 2 of the cinema. It can be seen that this cinema is probably the reconstruction of the shrine. On this matter, some netizens objected that it was inconsistent with the old photos and that it had been rebuilt before. The author specially dug up some old photos of Jilin Shrine, among which the photo of 1937 shows torii (a Chinese-style arched building) in front, candlesticks on both sides and wooden buildings behind. It is very short, and the roof is in the shape of a house with front and back slopes, which is really different from today. But the buildings in a photo of 194 1 are obviously different from those in the photo of 1937. The shrine is already a temple-style building, and it is much wider. Candlesticks are not placed on both sides of the shrine, but on both sides of the front door of the shrine. This building is square, similar to today's. In addition, as evidence, the photos of the 1980s should have been taken after 1982. The building lost its temple-like roof and became a flat roof, which was well decorated and had obvious wood carvings at the four corners. At the same time, the short sign in front of the candlestick also indicates that the damaged roof of the shrine was demolished and the exhibition hall was rebuilt in 1982. Therefore, the author believes that the shrine has not been demolished, but has been rebuilt for other purposes and generally preserved. The ancient cannon on the west side of the shrine is still in its original position, and there are guardrails around it, with the sign of "important protected historic sites" and a brief introduction. This ancient gun was cast in the ninth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1859). It was originally placed on the river bank in front of the Jilin General Department. When 1934 was built, the shrine was moved here until now. Throughout the country, Shinto shrines imposed by the Japanese on the people of China have disappeared one by one in China, and it is also a historical necessity for Jilin shrines to disappear in the form of reconstruction. Children's Park deserves praise for setting up file boards as evidence of aggression against China and places for patriotism education.
