否定南京大屠杀的主张,在日本由来已久,早在东京审判的辩论阶段,就有不少当事人出来做无罪辩护,有人甚至说日军在南京“秋毫无犯”,所以从东京审判认定日军有罪的那一刻起,日本就有人表示不服。七十年代初铃木明《“南京大屠杀”之谜》的出版,是以“研究”面目出现的否定主张的滥觞。从那以后,否定文字连篇不断,八十年代,特别是近年,更有大量专书出笼。从这些著述中,可以看到彼我之间在“观念”和事实认证两方面的巨大差距。对于这些否定议论,日本已故前辈学者洞富雄等人做了不少有价值的回应,令人钦佩。但日本“大屠杀派”未暇顾及之处尚多,近年日本否定论者(包括“虚构派”和部分“中间派”)又十分活跃,迭有“新见”,而此事为近世国史极伤痛的一页,意义非同寻常,所以,作为门外闲人——先人血泪岂可等闲,此是就札记作者不敢硬充内行言,切莫误解——,拾遗补阙,并不求在“学问”上对时贤心慕手追。 The idea of ​​denying the Nanjing massacre has long been in existence in Japan. As early as the debating stage in Tokyo trial, quite a few parties came out to plead innocence. Some even said that the Japanese army was “guilty of no mistakes in Nanjing,” and judged the Japanese troops from Tokyo From the moment of guilt, some people in Japan say they are not satisfied. The publication of the mystery of the “Nanjing Massacre” by Suzuki in the early 1970s was the beginning of a negative claim that emerged from the study. Since then, the negative texts have been continuously published. In the 1980s, especially in recent years, a large number of special books came out. From these writings we can see the huge disparity between Peter and I in terms of “concept” and factual authentication. It is admirable for these negative remarks that the late Japanese scholar Dong Fusiong and others made a lot of valuable responses. However, Japanese “massacre factions” have not had time to take care of many places. In recent years, Japanese negativeists (including “fictionalists” and some “centrists”) have been very active and have “new ideas” Therefore, as an idiot outside the door, the blood and tears of the ancestors can not wait, this is the way to read the author dare not hard-line words, not to be misunderstood In the “knowledge” when the heart of Mercy chase.
