In the process of the development of China's modern history, Japan has become the country that has the greatest influence on China more than any other country in the world. The influence of Japanese culture on the character formation of Chinese teenagers and even on the shaping of cultural identity and values cannot be underestimated. Learn from Japanese social life phenomena and reflect on Chinese society. Re-recognize Japan and the Japanese, and see clearly from the various contradictory phenomena in the modern exchanges between China and Japan the most fundamental differences between "the roots of an island country" and the "mainland farming nation". To understand, communicate or recognize a country, mastering the culture of the country or nation is even more important than simply mastering the language of the country. In the process of learning basic Japanese language, more cultural phenomena in Japanese social life are introduced and analyzed than in previous classroom teaching.
