This article consists of three parts:the reasons for the formation of the spirit of Japanese country protection; The performance of the spirit of Japanese country protection on the Sino-Japanese exchanges during the Tang and Song dynasties; The impact of the spirit of Japanese country protection.There are both external and internal reasons for the formation of the spirit of Japanese country protection. The external reasons have two main aspects:on the one hand, is the humanistic impact of the neighboring countries on the Japanese nation; On the other hand, is the impact of Japan's unique geographical environment. The internal causes include:Japanese nation has strong crisis consciousness, national consciousness and collective consciousness. Those are prerequisite conditions for the spirit of Japanese country protection. The spirit of Japanese country protection has a feature that the situation of more emotional than the rational makes the spirit shows the irrational love of Japan. However, it also causes the spirit full of aggressiveness and possessiveness.During the Sino-Japanese exchanges on the political and military fields, the spirit of Japanese country protection was expressed as the maintenance of the state and national dignity, the strong desire of territorial expansion and the whole efforts to defend the country.

These Japanese historians integrate the spirit into their thoughts and life, and show the spirit out unconsciously deliberately when they compile and study the history.
