html On September 8, 96-year-old Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom died in Balmoral Fort, Scotland. She is the longest-reigning monarch in the UK so far.
This incident has attracted widespread attention from the public. The British royal family is one of the ancient royal families. You may often pay attention to news about the British royal family. Do you really understand it? What is the difference between it and the Japanese royal family?
Why are the Japanese royal family and the British royal family different?
As early as 701 AD, Japan began to have the title of Emperor. It is said that there is also a myth about the Emperor. Amaterasu is a goddess symbolizing the sun. Her descendant Emperor Kanwu established the Japanese regime, and all royal families in Japan in the future must also be descendants of Amaterasu. Therefore, the title of Japanese Emperor continues like this, and it is not to be offended as gods.
Although this idea of deification of imperial power has faded with the continuous progress of society, it is still deeply rooted in nature. What's more, from the first emperor to the present, the emperor of Japan has been passed down to 125 generations. This is the belief of a country and there is no doubt.
Japan is a royal family. Since the Middle Ages, the monarchs of Britain have been called kings or queens. So why is Britain called royal family?
Each country has its own culture. Since the rule of the Roman Empire, the tribes established in Britain have been called dynasties. In the early days, many tribes in Europe were called dynasties and leaders were called kings, so the title of kings has been passed down.
In fact, in history, the British monarchs had the title of emperor. At that time, Britain had territorial sovereignty in India, so it was called the Indian Emperor. Later, five British monarchs all claimed to be the Indian Queen. It was not until after the end of World War II that India gained independence and abolished the title of emperor. Later, the title of king and royal family was restored, and it has been used to this day.
What are the similarities between
Japan and the United Kingdom are both Constitutional monarchy countries, means that the king or queen is the nominal head of state, and political power is shared by the government organized by the monarch and the constitution. However, most of the actual rights belong to the government, and The emperor and the queen are the spiritual symbols of the Japanese and British people. On the surface, they represent a country, but in fact they do not have any real power.
Britain has become the first country in the world with a constitutional monarchy system since 1689. The constitutional monarchy greatly restricted the king's rights. At first, the British king still had great rights, such as some legislative powers, judicial powers, and administrative powers. However, since the king did not implement these rights, it was slowly replaced by the prime minister, resulting in the king becoming less and less authoritative, and could only perform some apparent etiquette and diplomacy on behalf of the country.
Japanese Emperor seems to be the supreme leader of a country, but many political real powers are gradually being deprived, especially after Meiji Restoration , the government manages the country, and the emperor is completely unable to participate in government work. They can only serve as a spirit and belief, and have no substantive meaning. What is the difference between
Due to the differences in national heritage, there are still many differences between the Japanese royal family and Queen of the United Kingdom , such as inheritance rights, women's rights, wealth and rights.
The status of women
In terms of inheritance, the emperor status of the Japanese royal family is inherited by men, that is, the son and grandson of the royal family. If a woman in the royal family marrys a commoner, she is no longer a member of the royal family. Only men who marry a royal family can maintain her status. Therefore, there are many phenomena of intimate marriage among the Japanese royal family, which not only causes genetic defects, but also does not conform to certain social norms. This also shows to a certain extent that women have not a high status in Japan.
The inheritance rights in the British royal family are relatively friendly to women. Royal women have the same right to inherit the throne as men. Not only that, Meghan, who is a black descendant and divorced, can join the royal family, which can fully demonstrate the equality of the British royal family in treating women's rights.
Who is more rich
According to statistics from relevant departments, the Japanese government's expenditure on the royal family is about 1.5 billion yuan, and these expenses are spent on the daily operations of the royal family, the palace and the palace police, while the Queen of England spends 3 billion yuan in all aspects. It can be imagined that the Queen of England is really expensive.
The Japanese emperor is not given private property. Their expenses are all withdrawn from state-owned property. The property that the Queen of England can obtain not only includes the government's grant, but also obtain additional income through her own financial management. For example, the Queen can not only own the assets of the royal family, but also inherit the assets, land or other real estate of her father.
In contrast, the Japanese royal family also has a rich treasure house of art, most of which show the prosperity of during the Tang Dynasty period, and most of the collections were also plundered from our country, which is somewhat eclipsed compared to the British collection.
In addition, the royal palace of the British royal family is also magnificent and luxurious, which can be said to be very luxurious.
Who has greater rights
Although Japan and Britain are constitutional monarchies, neither the emperor nor the queen have many substantive rights, there are still some differences.
Although the British royal family lost its once supreme power and did not exercise real power, it is not without real power. Although it is just a spiritual symbol, should still have the form, such as British laws, foreign declarations of war, diplomatic treaties, etc., which require the signature of the queen to take effect.
There is no document in Japan that needs to be signed by the Emperor to take effect, but only some external etiquette and social interaction. The first article in the Constitution of the Great Japanese Empire is that "the emperor is a symbol of Japan and a symbol of Japanese national unity." It can be said that the Japanese emperor has no status at all, and the royal family is not allowed to talk about political issues. No matter what they do in public, they need to be prepared in advance and almost fully meet all the requirements of the government.
The Queen of England is rich in many ways, with a little power, prestige, countless wealth, everyone has equal rights, and a tolerant attitude.
Although the Japanese Emperor does not have that great power, he has great prestige. He is equivalent to the belief and spiritual pillar of the Japanese people. Just like religion, he can give people great psychological comfort and is an indispensable cohesion for a country.
In fact, we often see news about the Japanese royal family and the British royal family. From their clothing and etiquette, we can see many differences. The differences between the two countries are also inseparable from their respective historical and cultural heritage.
The Japanese royal family is more traditional and conservative, while the British royal family is more high-profile and fashionable, which is closely related to their rights, status and wealth. What do you think about the Japanese royal family and the British royal family?
