2. Why do people love glasses so much? At present, there are 67.2 million people wearing glasses in Japan, and the myopia rate is very high. According to the analysis of Gong Yongjialong, honorary professor of Tokyo Women's Medical University, this is related to the Japanese language used by the Japanese. There are not only Chinese characters but also pseudonyms in Japanese, which makes the eyes need fine adjustment, so it is easy to bring eye fatigue and myopia.
3. Why do people like curry? Indian curry was introduced into Japan from Europe during the Edo period, and it has been more than 150 years. It is said that Japanese people eat curry once every four days on average-it can be seen that Japanese people like curry very much. Among Japanese recipes, Lamian Noodles ranks first, followed by curry. According to the analysis of Yuejiu Inoue, director of Japan Curry Research Institute, the reason why Japanese people like curry is that curry juice contains a lot of fat and wheat flour. Japanese people like oil in fat and starch in wheat flour because fat and starch can produce a happy substance called dopamine.
4. Why are people easily deceived? Because Japanese people like to emphasize "identity" very much, it is difficult to suddenly change their attitude and deny what has been affirmed. In addition, the habit of Japanese people's conformity may also be the reason why they are easily deceived.
5. Why do people like gossip? Japanese scholar Hideki Wada said that people in other countries like gossip very much, but gossip magazines are different from ordinary newspapers and magazines, and reading gossip magazines will be considered tasteless. The source of gossip in Japan is driven by TV media. Everyone (Weibo) watches about the same TV programs and accepts about the same gossip topics, so there is no hierarchy in the national gossip.
6. Why do people like famous brands? Because the Japanese don't distinguish between good and bad things, they like to rely on the publicity of shops to buy things.
7. Why do people love cleanliness so much? According to Hideki Wada, a Japanese scholar, Japanese people's habit of loving cleanliness is cultivated from childhood. Hideki Wada said: 2-4 years old is the stage of children's character formation. At this time, Japanese children are trained to use toilets flexibly. Strict training at this stage is easy to cultivate a good child who loves cleanliness.
8. Why do people like saving money? This is related to the economic policy that Japan has been implementing since the war. Japan implements a tax-free "diligent financial savings system" for housing loans and retirement annuities, so the Japanese feel that saving money is more cost-effective than spending money.
9. Why is it difficult for men to resist the temptation of uniforms? Many Japanese men like women in uniform, such as female high school students' uniforms and stewardess uniforms. It is said that this is because the uniform feels pure and clean, so it has become the yearning of many men in adolescence and the aftertaste of their youth in adulthood. There is also a saying that people tend to lose their individuality after wearing uniforms, and women who lose their individuality are more accessible.
10. Why are you not interested in politics? This is a misunderstanding of the Japanese. Through the on-the-spot investigation on the streets of Tokyo TV station, it is found that Japanese, including young men and women and even housewives, are increasingly interested in politics.
1 1. Why do you like working? Before the First World War, shortly after the implementation of Japan's "founding policy", the Japanese at that time were lazy and had no sense of time. To this end, some Germans have written articles criticizing the Japanese. The "diligence virtue" of the Japanese is a "Japanese myth" created after the defeat of World War II. In fact, the average working hours of Japanese people rank only sixth in the world. Therefore, the Japanese think that they are not a nation that particularly loves work.
12. Why are you so punctual? This is related to the railway operation timetable in Japan. Japan's railway timetable is accurate to the second. During the Meiji era in Japan, the railway was not as developed as it is now, and it was natural to be 20-30 minutes late at that time. The first world war provided an important opportunity for Japanese railways, which doubled the railway transportation volume and shortened the parking time.
13. Why are you not good at words? There is such a joke at the UN meeting: "Shut the Indians up and let the Japanese speak". Indians are very talkative, while Japanese are very silent. This silent character makes many Japanese inarticulate. According to the analysis of Professor Hiroshi Hirakawa, an emeritus professor at the University of Tokyo, the reason why Japanese people are not good at words is that they are too good at writing-it seems that this is also the case: Japan not only likes to keep a diary, but also likes to take notes on everything. What to do tomorrow and what to do the day after tomorrow should be recorded in a small notebook. Colleagues also like to write a small note when passing messages. The more you write, the less you talk.
14. Why not say "I love you"? People who like watching Japanese TV dramas may notice that after the hero and heroine spark, they seldom shout "I love you" and at most implicitly say "I like you". The word "love" is a foreign word to the Japanese. It was spread to Japan by Christians in Meiji era. In the eyes of many Japanese people, especially Japanese writers engaged in literature, the meanings of "love" and "love" are completely different. The scope of "love" is wider, and the emotion between men and women has more elements of "love".
15. Do you particularly like queuing? Japanese people like to queue up, even on many unnecessary occasions, they queue up in an appropriate way. For example, to see a movie with reserved seats for the audience, there is no need to wait in line because all the seats are reserved, but the Japanese will still wait in line in an appropriate way. Japanese psychologist Yamaoka said: This is because the Japanese have an "over-adaptation" mentality. For example, although the cinema is the designated seat for the audience, if you want to get the seat later, it will affect other people who are already seated. "Influencing others" is a shame to the Japanese, so it is best to queue up early.
16. Why do you like to maintain your face? In some religious countries, such as Europe, America or Islamic countries, "God" absolutely exists, and ordinary people can feel at ease as long as their words and deeds are worthy of "God". Japan is a polytheistic country. There are many religions in one country and many gods in one family. Japanese were born and taken to the shrine to pay homage. When they grow up, they go to a shrine or a church to get married. After their death, they asked Buddhist disciples to cross over. The Japanese believe in too many "gods". "God" is everywhere and pervasive, just like an invisible monitor, which makes Japanese people have scruples in their daily lives. Remember to save face at all times.
17. Why do you like comics? Meng Si, director of Kyoto International Comic Museum and honorary professor of Tokyo University, believes that the past paintings of birds and animals and caocaozi in Japan are the predecessors of Japanese comics. Japanese people like deformed game paintings since ancient times. Later, comics, as a means of film expression, were subdivided into many schools, such as science comics and nature comics, which had a great influence on cartoonists who created comic stories.
18. Why don't you like studying? During the Edo period, Japan had a kind of "temple house", which was equivalent to "private school" or "school". At that time, although there was no free compulsory education in Japan, many Japanese paid their own money to study in the "Temple House" (Weibo). At that time, the Japanese really loved learning. The reason why Japanese people are not easy to learn now is that although Japan is a society with academic qualifications, personal income has almost nothing to do with academic qualifications. Japan is an average society, unlike other countries, the higher the education level, the higher the income. Because education level is not necessarily related to income, learning and not learning are similar, and people who don't like learning will naturally increase.
19. Why are people not good at speaking English? Anyone who knows Japan knows that even if the Japanese can write English fluently, speaking English is fatal to them. Japanese English pronunciation is very poor. Kenzo Nakata, a pre-school professor at Yukawa University in Japan, believes that this is because Japanese and westerners use different brains. Europeans and Americans usually listen with their right brain, while Japanese listen with their left brain. English is a language with complicated pronunciation, so it is more difficult for Japanese people who listen with their left brain.
20. People who work in the company must have such experience. When they meet their boss, they must address them as "Director XX" and "Minister XX", instead of calling them by their first names like Europeans and Americans. Why do Japanese people like to address titles so much? According to Miyagawa Gang, a professor at Fujita Health University, this is because Japanese people have genes that make them feel uneasy. More than 97% of Japanese people have this "uneasy gene". Such people tend to have no confidence in themselves and are easily influenced by the external environment. Adding a title to the address can increase their self-confidence and inner peace.
