Circulation is an old and new issue. As a link and brigde of production and consumption, circulation industry is known as the arterial system of the national economy. Along with human society transitting from a traditional society to a modern information society, the circulation industry in the socio-economic plays an increasingly prominent role. It can be said that the 21st century is the century of the circulation, and the 21st century economy is the circulation economy. There is no protection on the modern circulation, there will be no e-commerce era, and this is precisely the meaning of the thesis topic.Domestic and foreign scholars have long been concerned with the Japanese economy because of its important position in the world economy. Especially after the Second World War, Japan experienced a long period of rapid economic growth stage, and Japan became the economic power in Western society during the late 60s. Although Japan went through a fairly long period of economic downturn after the 1990s, but now Japan is still the current world economic power after the United States. With the development process of the Japanese economy, Japan's circulation industry also continues to adapt to the economic and social development. Although there are also one kind or another changes in the development of circulation industry in Japan, Japanese circulation industry in general goes through the process of reconstruction, development, maturation and systematization, and it has become an important pillar of modern economic development in Japan. This paper analyzes the objective environment of circulation industry in the post-war Japan, on which it explains the process of reconstruction, development and gradual improvement of circulation industry in the post-war. The Japanese government in the reconstruction process of the circulation system has played an extremely important role, and its "protection and promotion" approach is a very good reference to our government in the construction and development of the circulation system.The operation and management of Japan's circulation industry system is unique. The government has further strengthened the intervention of economic activity in order that Japan achieves the strategic goal of catching up Europe and the United States after World War II. Although the different regulations and policies achieve the different objectives, there is an overall objective, that is, the government maintains the market economic order, fosters small and medium-sized enterprises to improve the efficiency of circulation, and promotes the modernization of circulation industry through the power involved in the circulation area. Japan's ciculation industry has been a long channel, multi-links, small business features, and manufacturers are leading in their distribution system. In order to maintain the distributors'loyalty, manufacturers take let, the system returns and credit extension incentives to distributors in Japan. There is a stable, close working relationship between the production and marketing, which is equivalent to a non-trade barriers. Despite the pressure from all over the world on Japan's circulation system by, but the system has objectively played an important protective role in promoting the sound development of Japan's circulation.Japan's circulation industry is centered on the wholesale distribution system, and wholesalers play an important role in the circulation and distribute goods in a high capacity and efficiency which can save social labor and ciculation cost. However, the development of the wholesale trade in Japan has encountered more difficulties in recent years. The paper finds through the analysis of the evolution of the wholesale trade industry , whether the size of the industry, employment, sales, or operating efficiency in terms of per capita, that Japan's wholesale trade has shown a downward trend and is facing the more severe challenges. For out of this predicament, the wholesale industry in Japan is also trying a variety of changes, such as the development of retail formats more suitable for the wholesale functions, the establishment of low-cost operating system to provide more retail support activities, to participate in the direct retail business and so on.Retail business as an important organization pattern of circulation industry has a close relation with socio-economic development and people's daily lives. The new changes and forms of new emerging format take place in Japan's retail business with the continuous development of the socio-economic development, and it is characterized by the enlarged scale, integration, information and internationalization. Japan's retail industry has some inherent features, such as the excessive detail zero, the long channel and so on,which constrain its rapid development to some extent,but there has been some changes. For example, the Retail industry pattern"direct selling " newly and rapidly developed in Japan has changed the production and consumption of communication and reduced the circulation of agricultural products so that producers and consumers get a real sense of a win-win situation,which mainly consists of sales of agricultural products.The circulation is in the field of economic policy, aimed at resolving the actual problems and contradictions in the circulation field. We should Study the circulation policy in the post war from history and current situation two sides to grasp. Post-war evolution of the Japanese circulation system and the development process of Japanese economy inextricably link, which can be divided into: from the post-war era to the 60's or so in order to protect small and medium-sized as the center of the period; from the early 60s to early 70's to the modern circulation and trade liberalization as the center of the period; from 70's in the early to mid-80's "big shop law" period of confusion; the mid-80's wider to the outside world after a period of; into the new century to the circulation of environment-friendly green-centered development.Through the above-mentioned analysis of the evolution of circulation in the post-war Japan, the paper comes to the following characteristics: first, from the over-protection to gradual open; Second, tradition and modernity exist side by side in Japanese circulation industry; third,there are complex and unique circulation channels and system; fourth, more emphasis on foreign circulation; fifth, agingand low birth rate bring about the circulation change; sixth, brand and characteristics preserve and carry forward. The above findings and observations are also in the structure of this article and the innovation of the content.Our country's circulation industry develops rapidly after China's reform and opening up, but also there exist a number of issues, such as market order, and format structure, firm size, economic benefit, brand competition, multinational operations, marketing and many other aspects of innovation problems. We conduct a comprehensive analysis of the process of the evolution in the post-war Japanese circulation, which can give the reference to rapid and sound development of circulation in our country. The circulation development in post-war Japan to China is mainly manifested in the following aspects: first, we must insist on progressive liberalization and the opening up of the autonomy; second, we must establish the modern concept of circulation system development; third, we should make full preparations for the legislation; fourth, we continue to promote the management innovation of circulation systemto provide a good and soft environment for circulation development; fifth, an appropriate degree of government intervention and management border; sixth, we should accelerate the development of circulation information network system to improve the circulation efficiency; seventh we can promote the modern change for the form of circulation organization management and the structural modernization.After entering the 21st century, whether the world situation or the domestic situation in Japan has undergone major changes.With Japan's long-term economic downturn , the aging, birth rate, and information-based society, the future development of Japanese society has been an unprecedented challenge. To this end, the Japanese circulation development inevitably faces a series of new issues and challenges. To adapt to the new socio-economic situation, Japan's entire circulation system will also change accordingly, so as to better exert its role in the promotion and protection for economic development.
