Abstract
Both Britain and Japan have made reservations and continuations to the monarchy in the process of historical development, and their political systems are constitutional monarchy. The royal family of both countries has a very long history. With the historical development and social change, the monarch has become a spiritual and cultural symbol. The “sanctification” of the monarch and the strong “plot of the monarch” have been deeply rooted in social culture. From the perspective of historical development and social and cultural influence, although there are similarities between the royals of the two countries, their roles in political, economic and social stability are different from the ways in which they are exerted. Through the comparison between Britain and Japanese monarchy in the above three aspects, this paper analyzes the difference between the two countries monarchy in the size of the role, the way to implement the role and the impact, and finally compares and summarizes the role of the two countries monarchy.
Highlights
Historians once argued that after the World War II, the modern Western popular monarchy ideas were condensed in Scotland and even the whole British empire world, and the modern economic era after the World War II brought new thinking to the monarchy
Compared with Japan, Britain is slightly inferior to Japan in the way of social stability
The British royal family is very sacred and unshakable in the eyes of the British people, the British Queen will lead the royal family to stand on the side of the people when the country encounters problems, but it is not as diverse and specific as the Japanese royal family in the way of emotional communication with the people
Summary
Historians once argued that after the World War II, the modern Western popular monarchy ideas were condensed in Scotland and even the whole British empire world, and the modern economic era after the World War II brought new thinking to the monarchy. From the above two examples, we can find that the reservation of the imperial system is conducive to the stability of the domestic political situation of the emperor and even the royal family at a critical time, and has made an important contribution to the development and political stability of Japan after the war. As a symbol of the head of state, the Japanese emperor has the supreme status but no real power This special advantage can make the monarchy more secure in diplomacy and play a complementary and promoting role in maintaining relations with other countries. In Japan, a country that attaches great importance to tradition, the emperor’s position in Japanese spiritual culture has always been supreme since ancient times, and even has become a belief, and this position has not been weakened because the emperor went down the altar after the war. By strengthening the emotional connection with the people in this way, it can be seen that the British royal family plays a very important role in social stability at the critical moment
