An American wrote a book called *The Chrysanthemum and the Sword*, which thoroughly reveals the contradictory personality and national character of the people of Jiepen Country.
The "Chrysanthemum" is the symbol of the imperial family of Jiepen Country, representing culture. The "Sword" is the embodiment of the Bushido spirit, representing military might.
The book uses these terms to describe the two contradictory aspects of the Jiepen character: warlike yet peaceful, militaristic yet appreciative of beauty, arrogant yet polite, rigid yet fickle, submissive yet stubborn, loyal yet rebellious, brave yet cowardly, conservative yet fond of novelty.
