【最深日本】日本的天皇從何處來 由何時開始 | 東京與京都首都之爭 ｜古事記與日本書紀【天守群雄】

The Emperor of Japan is the world's oldest monarchical symbol, existing for thousands of years as the symbol of the Japanese nation. From Emperor Jimmu, considered the first Emperor, to the current 126th Emperor Naruhito, this position has been maintained throughout history. Historically, the Emperor's role has shifted from the center of political power to a symbolic existence. After two world wars, the 1947 Constitution of Japan defined the Emperor as the "symbol of the State." This means the Emperor symbolizes the unity of the people, and his position is based on the will of the sovereign people. The Emperor is also considered the guardian of Japan's traditional culture and is responsible for performing Shinto rituals. Ceremonies such as the Three Palace Sanctuaries rituals, New Year's general audience, and enthronement ceremonies have become important cultural events in Japan. The Emperor's existence plays a crucial role in Japanese identity and national cohesion. His symbolic role has become a bridge connecting Japan's past and future, tradition and progress. As a symbol of Japanese history, culture, and national unity, the Emperor continues to play a significant role.
