在"文明触变理论"视域下,近代日本的对外观经历了延续、转捩、定型三个阶段:鸦片战争是开启东西文明碰撞的标志性历史,幕末期日本的主流反应是礼义谴责与海防对策,其对外观正是"华夷观";围绕条约交涉问题,日本主动研习万国公法、评判世界情势,开国期日本的对外观转捩为法与力交错的"公法观",成为日本告别东亚的思想起点;自《西洋事情》至《脱亚论》,从出兵台湾至甲申政变,维新期日本的对外观在思想与行动的对接点定型为"文明观",而甲午战争的爆发则意味着东亚世界的整体裂变。
From the perspective of acculturation,modern Japan's foreign view experienced of continuity,transition and setting stages.The Opium War is a historical event during the collision of Eastern and Western civilization.During the period of the late Edo Bakufu,Japan's mainstream was condemnation and countermeasures,which was the"Hua-Yi view".Japan learned the public law and judged the world situation,therefore its foreign view changed into"International Law view",a combination of regulations and force,which became the beginning of its mental farewell to East Asia.FromWestern things to Datsu A Ron,from the deployment of troops to Taiwan to Coup in Korea,Japan's foreign view falls into a pattern of"civilization view"both in spirit and action.The break out of Jiawu War means the world fission in East Asia.
