Description
Excerpt from Shinto (the Way of the Gods) Prehistoric Shinto. - Ethnologists are agreed that the predominant element of the Japanese race came to Japan by way of Korea from that part of Asia which lies north of China, probably by a succession of immigrations which extended over many centuries. It is useless to speculate as to what rudiments of religious belief the ancestors of the Japanese race may have brought with them from their continental home. Sun-worship has long been a central feature of Tartar religions, as it is of Shinto; but such a coincidence proves nothing, as this cult is universal among nations in the barbaric stage of civilization. It is impossible to say whether or not an acquaintance with the old State religion of China - essentially a nature-worship had an influence on the prehistoric development of Shinto. The circumstance that the Sun was the chief deity of the latter and Heaven of the former is adverse to this supposi tion. Nor is there anything in Japan which corresponds with the Shangti of the ancient Chinese. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
