   • 傳統以面向彼岸世界為主旨的「鎮魂」已經不能滿足近代民族國家的需要，由具有現人神地位的天皇彰顯死者對國家之功績、給予死者無上之哀榮，將信仰賦予面向現世的價值取向，才是當時日本「祭政一致」官方宗教體系的發展方向。 [MSC, trad.]

[Pinyin]

     The traditional tamashizume, which has facing the world of the other side as its theme, was already unable to satisfy the needs of the modern nation-state. Only the display of the contributions made by the dead to the country, and the resulting conferral of supreme posthumous honour to the dead, done by the emperor who had the status of arahitogami, was the direction of the development of the Japanese official religious system of Saisei Itchi at the time.
