China and Japan are close neighbors separated only by a strip of water and have profound historical and cultural origins. Today, Japan is still influential in the world, and also a country who has the strongest comprehensive power around china. The development and trend of Sino-Japanese relationships not only affect the stability of East Asia, but also the development of the situation all over the world. Strategic cultures of both countries have very long history; respective traditional values and strategic thinking mode are formed in the process of long development. So the analysis of China and Japan on the strategic culture has become an important issue.Sino-Japanese strategic culture has characteristics of heterogeneity and homogeneity, in different historical periods, the strategic culture has a delicate relationship, which has an important and far-reaching impact on the historical development and the relationship between the two countries, even in some level, it affects the current trend of Sino-Japanese bilateral relations. In particular, the strategic culture adjustment and change of Japan, since the modern times, will add new content to the both countries, which will affect the strategic choice of China and Japan. Facing the advanced technologies and weapons, the Chinese strategic culture is between"change" and "not change"that lead to sunk into the trap called "change once in several thousand years", and began thinking Chinese questions in realistic perspective of "strong" and "weak" on the learning western way of "search for wealth and power". By contrast, after experienced the impact of the Western world, Japan took the way of militarism,aggression and expansion. By the influence of feudal samurai culture and the hierarchy of feudal, after impacted by Western powers, Japan decided to implement the"strong soldiers and rich countries"policy undoubtedly.After the war, Japan took the lessons of defeat, the strategic cultural shifted from the past militarism to "pacifism". Japan's "pacifism" strategic shift, in essence, reflects not only the pursuit of Japan's economic power, but also to play a "political power" role, and seek regional dominance. Since the war, the basic direction of Japan's strategic culture was located as "peace doctrine", for the development of military power and the implementation of the strategic overseas expansion has maintained a "reserved" status. However, deeply rooted in the traditional "warrior" values. Japan never gives up the dream of becoming great political power. The essence of china's Defensive strategic culture is the internal commitment to their country's economic development and to emancipate and develop productive forces, improve people's living standards and the people's material and cultural life; pursue an independent foreign policy of peace in international society.After the Cold War, accompanying with the abrupt change of the global situation, the Sino-Japanese strategic culture showed up many different features. These changes mainly expressed in the aspect of the world view and the idea of developing peacefully and also the adjustments caused by them. By the contrast model of Conflict and cooperation in the theoretical presupposition and the development need of both nations, the cooperation between China and Japan is the inevitable requirement of historical development and the rational choice to achieve strategic objectives in the development of Sino-Japanese relations. In the conflict presupposition Sino-Japanese relations will be inevitably into a vicious circle, ultimately lose at both sides, which would provide convenience for Western countries, even affect the entire East Asian order, however, in the mode of cooperation, the Sino-Japanese relations must achieve healthy development, and finally increase the national strength of both China and Japan, which guide the development of the whole Asia, even the whole world.From the perspective of strategic culture, to promote the interaction between these two countries, China and Japan must view each other in a calm development strategy, create development strategies suited to their own cultural patterns, and balance the Sino-Japanese strategic culture of "feeling", "righteousness" and strategic interests.
