If you want to choose the most imitative country in the world, then Japan must be a well-deserved leader. With its superb imitation technology and wisdom, Yamato absorbed the scientific and technological civilization accumulated by western powers for hundreds of years in the middle and late19th century, and achieved "overnight wealth" through the Meiji Restoration, becoming a member of the capitalist powers. If we want to select the most creative countries in the world today, the Japanese may proudly say that there must be a place for them in the top three!
That's right. Japan is such a contradictory aggregate. It not only has super imitation ability, but also has a valuable sense of innovation. They don't blindly imitate the achievements of others. After absorbing the experience of foreigners, they are also trying their best to improve and create better, more efficient and more convenient products, which may be the reason why Japan is so small and strong-imitation and innovation.
Imitation has always been criticized by the world and is often regarded as an unproductive performance. But Japan has proved with facts that imitation is not art! I only take Japan as an example, because it explains the relationship between imitation and innovation well. This Japanese imitation is not only a simple acceptance, but also gradually becomes a leader as a receiver of knowledge, just like a three-year-old child likes to imitate his father's everything, including language and movements. Their imitation is also so enjoyable, but it is by no means limited to this. Once a child grows up, he will also add his own elements to his father's words, and carry them forward well while inheriting them. This is exactly what the Japanese imitate, taking its essence and discarding its dross, instead of accepting it all and inheriting it all. As a result, Japanese innovation came into being.
It can be seen that imitation and innovation are also a progressive relationship in a sense. When you are confused, it is sometimes the best policy to imitate others and try to follow others' path. Although criticized by others, it is even considered as a manifestation of losing personality and independence. We can recall the experience of Japan. If there is no imitation accumulation in the early stage, how can there be so many imaginative ideas? We can even say that imitation is the cornerstone of innovation to a certain extent-of course, this only refers to the lack of innate conditions-such as Japan, where the level of science and technology was not high in the past. Moreover, this kind of imitation is not the kind of "imitation is dead", but what we call Japan is imitation (of course, this sense of innovation of the Japanese is also related to their own enterprising spirit). However, if you are a person with a strong sense of innovation and ability, that's good. Go your own way! But it is undeniable that imitation is also essential in the early stage of innovation. We have no reason or right to laugh at those imitators. Maybe they will become innovative people tomorrow!
Suddenly, I remembered our ancient China. Once we had the same spirit of innovation and glory. When it finally disappears. The vicissitudes of time have shut us in a small room, and we are getting old and losing our vitality. But as an apprentice, I only learned to imitate and didn't know how to innovate, so that now I have to copy even a TV program and an advertisement. It has indeed achieved high economic benefits in the short term, but what about our long term? Maybe we really need to learn from the Japanese now, even though they have studied us for more than ten centuries. But in addition, we must also find the soul of our own nation. The so-called "Heaven is healthy, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement" is the soul. If so, the rise of China is not far away, and the day when China stands among the nations of the world is not far away! agree
