历史上写有汉字的军旗：日本的神名旗帜 / Historical Military Flags with Chinese Characters: Japanese Banners with the Name of a Deity

日本和中国历史上有军旗主要用汉字书写。中 世纪日本的军旗上写有神名的汉字，例如八幡 大菩萨，比写有家族徽章的武士旗帜更宽，并 通过宗教仪式赋予神的力量。写有神名的幕府 将军或天皇的旗帜被称为御旗，具有政治作用 使武士的战斗正当化。 根据 1461 年多贺高忠所著的《军事记录》，最 高指挥官和指挥官会举起旗帜，旗帜上写着神 的名字，下方是他的家族徽章。随着幕府将军 和天皇的政府权力在 15 和 16 世纪逐渐减弱， 武士领主增强了他们的权力并举起了旗帜，在 家族徽章上方写有他们所信仰的神灵的名字。 [本文荣获本次大会最佳演讲奖。] Historically both Japan and China had military flags with Chinese characters (kanji in Japanese) written on them. Medieval Japanese military banners with the kanji name of a deity, such as Great Bodhisattva Hachiman (八幡大菩薩), gained the power of the deity by religious ritual. They were twice as wide as the 13th century samurai banners with the family crest (mon). That deity-name-written banner of the shogun or the emperor was called a mihata and had a political role to justify battle with samurai. According to The Military Note, 《多賀高忠軍陣聞書》, written by Takatada Taga in 1461, the supreme commander and commanding officer raised his banner with the name of the deity written above his family crest. As the governmental power of both shogun and emperor gradually weakened in the 15th and 16th centuries, regional samurai lords strengthened their power and raised banners with the name of the deity they believed in written above their family crest.
