As Yasukuni's sacrificial objects include 14 Class A war criminals , making the shrine be East Asia Countries consider Japanese Militarism It is a symbol of and controversial.

The "Yasukuni Shrine" has a history of only a hundred years. The original doctrine is: through sacrifice Laian To appease the enemy so as not to bring disaster to people. However, due to historical reasons, this place of worship has become a place to worship the martyrs of World War II, and because of the post-war visits of Japanese government prime ministers, parliamentarians and other political figures, it has always been haunted and stirred up trouble Japanese right-wing forces At the same time, it also greatly hurt the feelings of the vast number of countries and people who had suffered from Japanese militarism aggression, and aroused the strong indignation of countless people.

Ise The temple is dedicated to the gods of the ancestors of the Emperor's family, that is, legend Central Japan The founding god of God of Heavenly Illumination 。 therefore Ise Temple It is the highest level among all the shrines, and some people jokingly call it the "state-owned shrine". It is said that more than 2000 years ago, God Tianzhao was enshrined in the imperial palace. It was not until the tenth generation of the emperor that he decided to build another shrine for sacrifice. In order to find a place suitable for the gods to live, the daughter of the 11th generation emperor traveled all over Japan and finally chose Ise, which is near the mountain and near the sea.

There are towering ancient trees in the Holy Palace. The buildings are all made of logs and covered with straw. Even in the midsummer, there is no dryness. Interestingly, many roads in the shrine are built around trees. Because the Japanese believe that every plant in the shrine territory is owned by the gods and cannot move, they have to make way for trees when building roads.

Since it is the most advanced temple and houses the most powerful god, its business is naturally the busiest. Ise Temple Throughout the year, there are more than 1600 sacrificial activities, large and small. These sacrificial activities are simple in form and follow the practices of thousands of years ago time-honored methods 。 The theme of the sacrificial activity is mainly to thank nature for giving people all kinds of resources, and to pray that Japan can always maintain a peaceful environment and that people can be happy. The "Annual Sacrifice" in June and December and the "Divine Taste Sacrifice" in October are three large-scale sacrificial activities, of which the "Divine Taste Sacrifice" is the most important. The sacrificial time is 10:00 am and 2:00 am. At that time, the special envoy of the emperor will also participate in the sacrificial ceremony and offer the offerings of the emperor to the ancestors of the gods Money and silk 。

The shrine has a large territory, and most of it is the production base of special items. Everything that the gods enjoy is made according to the ancient law. Although the process is complicated, they never dare to cut corners and cook with water. The clear water used for cooking and worship in the temple is all taken from the imperial well of the Shangyujing Shrine, which is absorbed by special personnel and sent to the temple. The rice in the temple comes from planting area 30000 square meters of Kanda, clergy Cultivate Kanda personally and be responsible for harvest. Salt has the function of exorcism and purification in Japan. Of course, it is indispensable for sacrifices and gods. All the salt used in the temple comes from the Imperial Salt Palace, which is boiled with sea water. In the temple, all food is made according to the ancient method. Until now, the temple still keeps the practice of drilling wood to make fire. Twice a day in the morning and evening shinsen And cooking the cleanest food with the cleanest fire

From mountains, trees, strange rocks, waterfalls, oceans, fields, the sun, fire, thunder, all kinds of animals to ancestors' gods, they can become objects of worship Shintoism There is a saying of "eight million gods".

There are two stones at the entrance of the shrine Toad , staring and gaping. It is said that one year in the past, there was a fire nearby, which spread all the way and burned all the surrounding areas. Only the house of tax collector Yamazaki near the Toad Pool escaped the disaster of the fire because Big Toad The fire around the house was extinguished by spraying water from the mouth.
