imperial rescript on education

The Imperial Rescript on Education (教育勅語 Kyiku Chokugo) was signed by Emperor Meiji of Japan on October 30, 1890. It was distributed to every school in the Japanese Empire, along with a portrait of the Emperor that was to be kept hidden from view. The Rescript pushed traditional ideals of Confucianism. The Rescript requested of the people that "furthermore advance public good and promote common interests; always respect the Constitution and observe the laws; should emergency arise, offer yourselves courageously to the State; and thus guard and maintain the prosperity of Our Imperial Throne coeval with heaven and earth". After that, the Rescript was used in many ways by Japanese fascism during peak of the era of Japanese expansionism. Moreover after the World War II, the Imperial Rescript on Education was abolished by both Houses of Diet of Japan on June 19, 1948.
