How Samurai Work

Samurai walked around Japan, not mercenary warriors, warriors fought to pay their money. They are bound by certain lords and celebrities and are also involved with their communities with responsibility and honor.

This honorable code is called "Bushido" from the word "samurai" and means "warrior". The word in Japanese means "road". So Bushido means "appearance of soldiers". This code evolved from the early days when samurai was a shooter and a cavalry. The training and devotion necessary to master these skills and combine with the horse led to "the way of Cuba".

Bushido is called a code, but it is not an official rule to follow all warriors. In fact, even though Bushido changed from a family to a family, it has undergone a major change throughout the history of Japan. After the existence of samurai for a few years, until the 17th century, Bushido was not written down at all.

The main obligation of samurai is to be faithful to his lord. In Japan there is a feudal system that the lord wishes to obey his vassals, the latter gaining economic and military protection from the Lord. If the Lord can not count on the absolute loyalty of his vassal, the whole system will collapse. This sense of loyalty and honor is often extreme by Japanese who committing suicide if they think to fight to defend their master's castle in hopeless battle or they think they mocked their master.

Warrior has responsibility for revenge. If the honor of his master is hurt, or his master is killed, the warrior must find and kill the perpetrator. One of the most famous samurai stories, "47 Ronin", or a homeless warrior is a story of traditional warrior revenge. During the Heian period, their God was ordered to commit seppuku for controversy with another Lord. Two years later, all 47 Samurai invaded the castle of the Lord and killed him. Not because they fulfilled their retaliatory obligation (although this is expected), they were forced to commit Seepuk originally as shamefully.

Due to the invasion of Mongolia in the 13th century, more changes occurred in traditional tactical tactics among the samurai. In the twice Kwpri-Khan invasion in China, the Samurai army cooperated to drive away the Mongolians. However, while Mongolia is fighting as an organized unit, Japanese warriors are disadvantageous because they are used to a 1: 1 battle. With the power of nature, the warrior can stop the Mongolians. "There is no other warrior with such a low allowance, and I can spare as much as I can and I have tested some believers with my believer! I have not learned, I learned to write and I learned that writing is only my 20s - and that is almost insufficient to satisfy my own needs My friend is very bad There is no good person ... My past action really scares me, let my children, children, and children's children carefully read these records. Please taste.

At that time the number of warriors in Japan was 9 million. Not only the lord of warriors in Japan, there are people who are actually working with higher advocates. Each warrior received a fixed allowance, maintenance costs brought enormous economic burden, and it began to take action to respond to the emperor and his oligarchy regime. Despite their true intentions, the oligarch started a slow and prudent process to abolish the warrior class. First, in 1873 it was announced that samurai's allowance will be taxed on a rolling basis. After that, in 1874, the samurai was chosen to convert that allowance into government bonds. Finally, in 1876, this conversion option was mandatory. (Abakian 49-54)

Warrior is part of Japanese warrior class. The samurai formed a unique class. The samurai wore two swords as a symbol of their caste. When the last general officer resigned in 1867 and the feudal system was completely abolished in 1871, the class of samurai lost its privilege. During this time, the act of wearing a sword is prohibited. In 1878, the name of the samurai was changed to a quandtary, nobility, peeping. Warrior's path known as Bushido is the country code that the feudal Japanese samurai observed. The foundation of Bushido is virtue such as integrity, endurance, frugality, courage, courtesy, authenticity, especially faithful ruler and state. Only through these movements, samurai can keep his honor. If a samurai loses that virtue, he will be forced to commit suicide by Harakiri. Bushido, fully developed in the second half of the 12th century, became a code written in the 16th century. When feudalism was erased in the mid-19th century, the code was forgotten.
