日本為什么如此的嫉恨中原朝廷和我們呢？這是由其歷史淵源和身份地位所導(dǎo)致的。眾所周知，中亞和東亞這一帶，我們是老大，形成了幾千年的傳統(tǒng)中華文化圈子和藩臣貢奉體制。我們是正統(tǒng)正宗和朝廷（中央），周邊的小國都是外邦和藩臣，他們的名號需要朝廷（中央）的賜予，才能享受“王臣”的榮譽和光耀，但需要向中原朝廷（中央）朝貢；當然，也有不對付的時候，但總體是臣服和聽話的，只有日本這個不受待見的“野孩子”時好時壞的，后來釀成了滔天大禍。

首先，對比朝鮮半島和日本群島的“待遇”：朝鮮半島上的南北朝鮮（朝鮮和韓國）本來是中原朝廷（中央）的側(cè)室生子，歷史上是有名號的，也算是有名有分，一直都很忠于中原朝廷。但日本就不一樣了，其原本屬于中原的“外東北”地區(qū)，日本群島的一個最重要的作用和角色是拱衛(wèi)東北的屏障，最多只能算是中原朝廷的一個“外東北私生子”而已，還不知道是和誰生的？中原朝廷也不愿意說，這就讓日本成為了一個典型的“野孩子”，比“留守兒童”都困難（因為沒人要、沒人認領(lǐng)），一直想“認祖歸宗”，但中原朝廷壓根兒不認，為什么呢？日本長得丑陋矮小不說，還比較陰暗，看上一眼就來氣，任誰都不想認這個私生子。即便是日本主動登門來了，又是還會踢上幾腳將其趕出去滾蛋了；幾千年來，日本一直想皈依中原、得到中原朝廷的認可，其愿望強烈，但終被拒之門外。不是中原朝廷不想要，而是日本確實不像話，時降時叛，背后捅刀子，品德敗壞，怕挨揍、卻不怕對其說好話的，如此之徒，難進中原的大門。所以、這就是日本一直憎恨中原朝廷的原因。

其次，東南亞國家的越南、緬甸、柬埔寨等藩臣，可以算作是小妾所生的孩子；就連中亞的哈薩克斯坦、烏茲別克斯坦、吉爾吉斯斯坦、塔吉克斯坦、土庫曼斯坦，甚至是伊拉克，抑或是西南亞的尼泊爾、錫蘭、錫金等國，都可以算得上中原朝廷的外室生子，都有一定的“名分”，偏偏日本沒有，獲得感極低，尤其是朝鮮這個側(cè)室生子在諸“王子”中的地位較高，從一開始就看不上日本這個“野雞沒名、草鞋沒號”的野孩子，日本每次覲見中原朝廷的時候還得經(jīng)過朝鮮的領(lǐng)地，朝鮮根本不拿正眼兒看日本，滿臉嫌棄的樣子。所以、這也是日本極其憎恨中原朝廷統(tǒng)治下朝鮮半島的一個重要原因了。

最后，日本的“野孩子”的身份和經(jīng)歷，日本自我感覺孤苦無依，總想找個依靠和靠山，給自己找個“爹”（沒有“爹”多不好玩兒啊，沒爹沒靠頭），因為日本知道自己成不了事兒。所以，縱然如今的日本被美國完虐，但日本還是很喜歡的，為什么？因為終于有人認領(lǐng)日本了，日本終于為自己找到了一個“爹”了，洋爹也是“爹”呀！現(xiàn)在“美國爹”讓日本干什么，日本就乖乖的聽話照做，還得賠上笑臉。當然，日本的這個“美國爹”更不是個省油的燈，把日本這個“野孩子”看得清清楚楚的，“美國爹”把日本這個“野孩子”分析得透透的（《菊與刀》那本書就是美國人寫的），當作一條狗對待，不僅給日本套上了“狗鏈子”，還給日本穿上了多重枷鎖，把日本拿捏的死死的。

The Global Refuel Episode 12: Why Japan Resents Us? It's Due to Its Status and Psychology as an "Illegitimate Child"

(Thursday Evening, December 25, 2025)

Why does Japan harbor such deep resentment toward the Central Plains imperial Court or us? This stems from its historical origins and its status and position. As is well known, in Central and East Asia, we are the dominant power, having established a millennia-old tradition of a Sinocentric cultural sphere and a tributary system. We are the orthodox and legitimate central authority (the imperial court), while the surrounding smaller states are foreign vassals and tributaries. Their titles and honors must be conferred by the court (the central authority) to enjoy the prestige and glory of being "royal subjects," but they are required to pay tribute to the Central Plains imperial Court. Of course, there have been periods of conflict, but overall, they have been submissive and obedient. Only Japan, this unwelcome "illegitimate child," has been intermittently rebellious, later leading to catastrophic consequences.

First, let’s compare the "treatment" of the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese Archipelago: The two Koreas (North and South Korea) were originally the "legitimate offspring" of the Central Plains Court, historically holding recognized titles and status. They have remained loyal to the Central Plains Court. Japan, however, is different. Originally part of the "Outer Northeast" region of the Central Plains, the Japanese Archipelago’s most important role was to serve as a protective barrier for the Northeast. At best, Japan can only be considered an "illegitimate child of the Outer Northeast," and it’s unclear who its other parent is. The Central Plains Court has never been willing to acknowledge this, making Japan a typical "illegitimate child"—even worse than a "left-behind child" (because no one wanted or claimed it). Japan has always sought to "return to its ancestral roots," but the Central Plains Court outright refused. Why? Japan is not only ugly and short in stature but also harbors a dark and sinister nature. A single glance is enough to provoke anger, and no one wants to claim such an illegitimate child. Even when Japan took the initiative to visit, it was sometimes kicked out and told to leave. For thousands of years, Japan has desperately wanted to convert to the Central Plains and gain recognition from the Central Plains Court. Its desire was intense, but it was repeatedly shut out. It’s not that the Central Plains Court didn’t want it, but Japan was truly unreliable—sometimes submitting, sometimes rebelling, stabbing others in the back, morally corrupt, afraid of being beaten but unafraid of sweet talk. Such a character could never enter the gates of the Central Plains. This is why Japan has always resented the Central Plains Court.

Second, Southeast Asian tributary states such as Vietnam, Myanmar, and Cambodia can be considered the children of concubines. Even Central Asian countries like Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Iraq, or South Asian countries like Nepal, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), and Sikkim, can be regarded as the "external offspring" of the Central Plains Court, each with a certain degree of "legitimacy." Japan alone has none, resulting in an extremely low sense of belonging. Particularly, Korea, as a legitimate offspring, held a higher status among the "princes" and from the very beginning looked down upon Japan, this "nameless and titleless" illegitimate child. Every time Japan sought an audience with the Central Plains Court, it had to pass through Korean territory. Korea never treated Japan with respect, showing only disdain and contempt. This is also a key reason why Japan harbors such intense hatred for the Korean Peninsula under the rule of the Central Plains Court.

Finally, Japan’s status and experience as an "illegitimate child" have left it feeling isolated and helpless, always seeking reliance and support, trying to find a "father" (how dull it is to have no father, no one to depend on!). Japan knows it cannot achieve greatness on its own. Thus, even though Japan is now thoroughly dominated by the United States, it is quite content. Why? Because finally, someone has claimed Japan. Japan has finally found itself a "father"—even if it’s a foreign one, a father is still a father! Now, whatever the "American father" tells Japan to do, Japan obediently complies, even with a smile on its face. Of course, this "American father" is no easy figure either. It sees Japan, this "illegitimate child," clearly and has analyzed it thoroughly (the bookThe Chrysanthemum and the Swordwas written by an American). Japan is treated like a dog, not only leashed but also bound with multiple shackles, kept firmly under control.
