The ecology of Japanese media has always been very unique among the world's media and occupies an important position in the development of the world's media with its unique characteristics. However, the development of Japanese media in its social and political system, China's Confucianism has always been the endogenous driving force for its development. This paper discusses the influence of Confucianism on shaping Japanese media through in-depth analysis of Confucianism on Japanese social culture and political system.
