The continuous actions by Chinese navy fleet across the international watercourses and straits of first island chain and the continuous military exercises of recapturing islands held by Japan and US, reflect the current situation of sea power game among China, Japan and US around the East China Sea and the control of the first island chain. This game is essentially a strategic competition around of the western Pacific military dominance among China, Japan and US. This article analyzes the specific manifestation of the game from the perspective of the Japanese isolated islands defense strategy, points out especially its strategic significance of blocking China. The defense strategy of isolated islands reflects not only the shift from the local defense to the isolated island defense, but also the strategic attempts of Japan's preventing China from rising up and breaking the first island chain by coordinating with US for AsiaPacific strategy, and Japan's focusing on the defense of military deployment of the Nansei islands. The essence of the defense strategy of isolated islands is a game of the western Pacific sea power among China, Japan and US.

Given by a special geographical location, offshore balancers can balance powers by shirking responsibility and building balance leagues, and maintain the balance of powers towards mainland and expand their own power. With the rise of China, Japan’s awareness of containing China in security has boosted unprecedentedly, they also take actions actively to form balancing strategy towards China. In current Asiapacific situation, Japan’s action of balancing China conforms to the general pattern of offshore balancer. Japan shrinks responsibility in the frame of USJapan Alliance, and contains China geographically by using the surrounding powers such as India and ASEAN countries in order to guarantee its security and expand its power. Japan also builds up an alliance with the Asiapacific nations to balance the power of China. However, Japan’s strategy faced with some dilemmas, its goal of balancing China won’t be achieved smoothly. China should realize the nature of Japan’s strategy and the dilemmas it faces accurately, and then cope with it positively.

Based on the monetary policy exchange rate and asset price transmission mechanisms, the SVAR model is built to analyze the inner relationship between the formation of Japan's bubble economy and the effects of monetary policy. The results show that the loose monetary policy implemented by Japan in response to the influences of the appreciation of the yen did not achieve the desired effects in the middle and late 1980s, and the effects on the exchange rate, export and output were not obvious, and the exchange rate mechanism became blocked. However, as loose monetary policy directly pushed up asset prices, the rapid increase of asset prices did not lead to the corresponding increase of investment and output, thus the virtuous cycle of capital market was broken, the transmission between asset prices and investment, as well as between investment and output have been blocked. The monetary policy did not boost the real economy, so it produced excess liquidity and ultimately led to the formation of the bubble economy. In view of this, China should get some lessons, such as implementing monetary policy prudently and taking into comprehensive consideration of policy effects, preventing reasonably the asset bubble expansion, guiding actively the entrepreneurship, innovation and investment which contribute to the real economy.

The national government of Nanjing made efforts to promote the currency reform and maintain the national monetary sovereignty since its establishment. However, this reform was destroyed by Japan. In order to get rid of the impact of the economic crisis, Japan hastened its financial aggression against southeastern China in 1930s and undermined China’s monetary sovereignty. The silver wave, which has been caused by US, affected China’s economy and society. In response to the financial crisis, the national government decided to implement the reform of legal currency. For reasons of strategy security, the reform scheme was extremely confidential to Japan. All social circles of Japan were indignant with the reform of legal currency, and thought it as an “antiJapan” movement. Therefore, Japan blocked and destroyed the reform with diplomatic threats, economic damage and political interference. On the one hand, the national government adhered to the principles and promote reform as well as made the cautious response to it. In fact, the ChinaJapan game and contest before and after the reform of legal currency was the competition between the China’s national monetary sovereignty and Japan’s socalled “suzerainty”. Japan underestimated the financial management capacity of the Kuomintang, misjudged the developing trend of the world currency, and failed finally in the "currency war".

Reviews on Watching Games manifests the theory and regime conception of the constitutional consultant Ariga Nagao’s constitutionalism in the early Republic of China. It contains the deeper basic theories and principles. His various conceptions of constitutionalism in the early Republic of China actually turned the regime reference line of the constitutionalism in the early Republic of China from republicanism country to monarchy country, which took the Meiji constitutionalism as the object of imitation. The corresponding prototype of these theories and principles can be traced back clearly to his early constitutional theoretical system, and furthermore to his constitutional enlightenment teacher Lorenz von Stein's theories. As Japan's political trends since Meiji constitutionalism in the early 20th century drifted off his constitutional expectation, He disguised these theories and regime conception and placed it on the constitutionalism in the early Republic of China.

As a master of Japanese aesthetics literature, Tanizaki Junichiro experienced a series of early attempts to find pain and pleasure from abusing and being abused, and later turned to the study on the Japanese classical and oriental classical beauty. He exhausted ten years of efforts to translate the classical masterpiece Genjimonogatari, immersed in the aesthetics world of traditional mononoaware beauty, thus its masterpiece Sazameyuki was born. Tanzaki inherited and extended the beauty of traditional mononoaware beauty through Sazameyuki. The sadness of declining aristocracy, the bad fate of women, and the natural mood of watching the material nature and feeling hurt, all inherited the consciousness of mononoaware beauty in Heian era. At the same time, he also expanded the mononoaware beauty in the funny and constructional way. He created the eternal female who are of tender fortitude also as the sensibility of mononoaware concept. He described the Sakura viewing and other activities in the way of life formulary. The sense of time and season, and the mood of hoping to reach the ancient aesthetic realm were condensed into a stylized taste, and was showed as the new look of modern mononoaware beauty. He also excavated and expanded the space of the sensuous space of the mononoaware beautythe shade, which interweaved illusory, hazy and soft feelings in the dark world of contrasting light and darkness.
