摘　　要：Following the Meiji Restoration,Japan rapidly embarked on a path of external aggression and expansion.While during the Edo period in Japan,this historical trajectory appeared to be a result of rapid capitalist development,the conception of overturning the regional order in East Asia had already begun to surface.In terms of ideology,Edo-era intellectuals,drawing inspiration from Chinese Confucianism and Japanese classical literature,sought to bridge the cultural gap between China and Japan,thereby shaping Japan's cultural superiority.Politically,Edo Japan attempted to establish a political framework superior to neighboring countries through diplomatic protocols,and even formulated expansionist plans in the face of internal social crises and threats posed by Russian encroachment southward.Modern Japanese incursions such as the annexation of Ryukyu,the annexation of Korea,and the occupation of Taiwan are all associated with Edoera notions of“Japanese cultural superiority”and“subjugation of neighboring countries”The ambition of Edo Japanese thinkers to overturn the East Asian regional order not only influenced the historical trajectory of modern Japan but also predestined a modern East Asia of unrest and turmoil.
