11. Features of Japanese culture. Literature. Religion

The periodization of Japanese history and art is very difficult to understand. Periods (especially starting from the XNUMXth century) were distinguished by the dynasties of military rulers (shoguns).

The traditional art of Japan is very original, its philosophical and aesthetic principles differ from Western ones. Their formation was influenced by the special attitude of the Japanese to the beauty of their native nature, which since ancient times was perceived as a perfection created by God.

The Japanese literary tradition is considered one of the most ancient. Early written works date back to the XNUMXth century. Their appearance is associated with the borrowing of Chinese hieroglyphic writing.

The first written monuments of Japanese literature are collections of Japanese myths and legends about the deeds of gods and legendary heroes. XNUMXth century considered the heyday of court literature (prose and poetry).

The classical genre of Japanese poetry is considered to be poems called "short verse", which consist of 5 lines (31 syllables - distribution along lines 5-7-5-7-7).

In the XNUMXth century legends, parables and stories that arose in oral form gained great popularity. Then the author's prose is formed. The main genre for a long time was gesaku - genre entertaining stories, the main content of which was funny stories from the surrounding life.

The aesthetic principles of Japanese art were formed under the influence of three most important religious and philosophical doctrines that determined the traditional worldview of the inhabitants of the Land of the Rising Sun:

1) Shinto;

2) Confucianism;

3) Buddhism.

The veneration of nature as a divine principle took shape in the ancient national religion of the Japanese - Shinto. Initially, each clan had its own patron deities, but the official Shinto pantheon evolved from the patron deities of the ascendant Yamato clan.

Confucianism, like Buddhism, came to Japan from China. Confucianism is usually understood as the traditional ancient Chinese religious and philosophical doctrine, which elevated ethical principles to the category of universal laws.

Buddhism played an important role in the development of traditional Japanese art. At the heart of Buddhist philosophy is the idea that the so-called real world (samsara) is actually a human illusion that appeared due to a misunderstanding of the essence of things.

Traditional Japanese aesthetics, combining Shinto, Confucian and Buddhist ideals, has developed specific principles, the understanding of which is the key to Japanese art.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>
