关于中日历史认识问题的思考

所谓历史问题,并非历史问题本身,而主要是对历史认识的问题。关于中日关系问题,特别是当代中日关系的历史问题,中日间差异相当大。这个问题实际上在战后一直都没有得到解决,只是有时显得比较突出,有时可能又被一些倾向掩盖住了。具体剖析靖国神社、日本历史教科书、战后民间诉讼、遗弃化学武器等典型问题,均可以看出两国在认识上的差异。

Considerations on How to Understand the History of Sino-Japanese Relations

The issue of the history of Sino-Japanese relations, especially the contemporary Sino-Japanese relations, is a matter of great interest to the public. The so-called issue of history is not the issue itself, but mainly how to understand the history, on which the gap is great between China and Japan. In fact this problem has never been solved since the end of the Second World War, only sometimes more acute and sometimes concealed by other tendencies. Analyses of some typical problems such as the Yasukuni Shrine, the Japanese historical textbooks, postwar non-governmental lawsuits and chemical weapons left behind by the Japanese troops will all reveal the differences in the understanding between the two countries.
