How did the Japanese surname come from? What is Kurai's position in Japan?

Japan and China are neighbors separated by a strip of water, but during the modern Japanese colonial expansion, they waged a brutal war of aggression against China for more than ten years.

Therefore, in terms of national feelings, I believe that all people in China abhor Japan and cannot forgive its heinous crimes in China.

However, starting from the exchanges between countries, Japan began to normalize diplomatic relations with China in the 1970s and 1980s.

Although the relationship between the two countries still shows the feeling of being at arm's length, due to overall consideration and good-neighborly foreign policy, there are frequent interactions in cultural and economic methods.

When it comes to surnames, I believe people in China have more say. However, as a country deeply influenced by Chinese culture, Japanese surnames are also inspired by China culture.

There are many famous Japanese surnames, such as Sato, Saito, Kameda, Chuan Dao, Inoue and Kurai, which are all common surnames in Japan.

Many people will suddenly think of Aoi sora when they see the word "Cang Jing". This Japanese woman who has accompanied countless otaku is called "the goddess of otaku" or "teacher Cang".

In fact, many people don't know what kind of existence and status Kurai is in Japan.

First, the origin history of Japanese surnames.

When it comes to Japanese surnames, many people laugh, because most Japanese surnames are composed of 1-5 Chinese characters, which is like joking compared with China surnames.

Similar to spring, Watanabe and Usami; Aso, Oda Jiri, KUSANAGI, Kimura; Zhongju, Yamashita, Sakai, Jiangkou and Baishi always remind people of a certain place.

According to Japanese historical records, the Japanese began to have surnames from the19th century, that is to say, before that, there were only first names and no surnames.

1870, emperor meiji promulgated the "order on Miao word allowance for common people", which stipulated that nobles and common people must have surnames. However, Japanese civilians accustomed to anonymity do not seem to be interested in this.

1875, Emperor Meiji issued an order that Miao Wen, a civilian, must be addressed, stipulating that all Japanese people must use their surnames. At present, there are about140,000 surnames in Japan, which is the most.

In fact, before 1870, only Japanese aristocrats were qualified to have surnames, which shows that surnames are also a way to distinguish aristocrats from aristocrats.

2. What is the status of Kurai in Japan?

So what is Kurai's position in Japan? Is this surname noble?

In fact, after Emperor Meiji of Japan promulgated the word "Miao people", because ordinary people have no culture at all, they often choose their surnames based on their own region and environment, so many Japanese surnames are based on their surnames.

In ancient Japan, aristocratic surnames mainly included Genji, Ping Ye, Fujita and Orange. These people were all royalty at that time, so Sato and Ito were noble surnames.

"Kurai's surname" is not among the four surnames of big noble. Therefore, Kurai's surname is actually a random civilian surname.

Cang Jing can be divided into granary and well. In other words, in Japan's vigorous surname-taking activities, civilians living in rural areas can't think of elegant surnames at all because of their limited educational level.

Everything they see in their eyes can be used as surnames, and the Kurai family has warehouses and wells, which is why they have this strange surname.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that Japanese surnames sometimes seem like a joke.

This also reflects from another aspect that Japanese people don't care much about their surnames, which is quite different from China people.

Therefore, Kazuo Kurai is just a casual behavior of the Japanese, and has no status or importance at all.

However, after a certain understanding of Japan, I found that Lady Kurai is still relatively rare in Japan. Although the Japanese animation industry is relatively hot, it is rare to see Kurai in animation.

Why on earth is this? In fact, Japanese civilians have had surnames for less than 150 years, so they have long been used to living without surnames but only names.

Therefore, although there are many people named Kurai in Japan, because there is no surname at ordinary times, this surname is mentioned less and less as time goes on.

If the works of "Mr. Cang" didn't flow into our country, I believe everyone will be very strange to Cang Jing. Compared with Saito, Sato, Ito and other surnames, Kurai is just a civilian surname.

conclusion

In ancient Japan, surnames were the privilege of nobles, and civilians had no right to have surnames at all. One to two, Japanese civilians will no longer be entangled in surnames.

However, since 1870, the Japanese emperor has issued a compulsory order that civilians must have surnames for conscription and household registration management, so Japanese civilians will take surnames at will, which also leads to the lack of connotation of Japanese surnames.
