This is part of a study of the interrelationship between the Kojiki (古事記), one of the earliest works of Japanese literature, and Chinese thought centering around early Confucianism. I interd to complete my study with a cansideration of how the compilers of the Kojiki adopted such Confucian concepts as the royal ideal, the proper relations between man and wife, and the spirit of harmony, but here I shall consider only the two following points: 1. The Confucian oath (誓約) and ukehi (宇気比) in the Kojiki. In the Confucian system, oaths (誓) and alliances (盟) took different forms. Alliances, as seen in the Tso-chuan and other works, were accompanied by the offering of sacrifice and the drinking of blood, while oaths, as seen in such works as the Shang-shu, did not use such forms. Oaths were of two types, those which clearly specified punishments for offenders and those which did not. The ukehi of the Kojiki correspond to the oaths. The four cases of ukehi (宇気比) in the first scroll ("Age of the Gods" 神代巻) have no provisions for punishment specified, while in the four cases found in the 2ed and the 3rd scroll (中下巻), which correspond to oaths, we find provisions for remarks for those who conform and, though not settled provisions for punishment, the stipulation that offenders are to be punished on the spot. From a detailed study of the above considerations, we can see that the ukehi found in the Kojiki were not necessarily based on the Chinese concept of an oath, but that the compilers of the Kojiki, while aware of Chinese concept of an oath, treated ukehi in a basically Japanese manner and with a distinct point of view. 2. The influence of the Chinese system of royal succession. In the first scroll ("Age of the Gods",) of the Kojiki the succession goes to the youngest child ; in the legendary period to the most suitable child ; but by the Osazakinomikoto (大雀命) period to the eldest son, as practiced in China since late Shang (殷) times, or to a brother, as in earlier Shang times. This clearly shows that Chinese thought and custom influenced the early Japanese.
