Sino-Korean historical and cultural exchanges
China's culture has a great influence on South Korea. Since ancient times, China has been in contact with Korea on land, and its maritime traffic is also very successful, so there are many similar cultural customs. Historically, South Korea may be the inheritor of the Koryo dynasty, and the ancient Koryo dynasty and China have a lot in common. Koryo dynasty is one of the feudal dynasties on the Korean peninsula. Since then, the politics and economy of the Koryo dynasty have mostly followed the centralized system in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Officially, the nine temples in three provinces, six departments and nine temples are very similar to those in ancient China, and have close and friendly relations with the Korean Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty in China at the same time. The two countries often send envoys, overseas students, businessmen and monks to exchange visits to enhance mutual understanding and friendship. Korea was later divided into South Korea and North Korea. Korea, as the predecessor of Korea, naturally has a continuous relationship with the Koryo dynasty, and its ancestors naturally learned a lot from China. First of all, Korean characters, like Japanese characters, take China Square Chinese characters as an example. There are some Chinese characters that everyone knows at a glance, but when used in Korea, they are the same as Japanese Chinese characters in pronunciation and meaning. Chinese characters are inherited from China, and together with some strange symbols created by Chinese characters, Korean is formed. However, if Koreans think they are the founders of Chinese characters, it is really ridiculous. After all, China's characters are square Chinese characters without any evolution, and they quoted a small part of them to say that Chinese characters were invented and created by themselves, which is too unconvincing. The most incredible thing is that the legend of Zongzi attracted by Qu Yuan, the author of China's Lisao, has been circulated in classics since ancient times, which shows that the Dragon Boat Festival is closely related to China. However, South Korea has successfully applied for the Dragon Boat Festival as a traditional Korean festival, which is just a formality. Nobody in the world has studied it at all. In China, the family tree bearing thousands of years of traditional culture has been passed down to this day, while the descendants of Confucius in China have passed down for more than 70 generations. However, Koreans believe that Confucius is their ancestor and have applied for the legacy of Confucius' theory. The reason why South Korea thinks these are their cultures can only show that China culture has exerted a great influence on South Korea since ancient times, so that it is imperceptible and makes South Koreans stubbornly believe that these are their own things. Of course, Koreans' respect for Confucius is worth promoting. On May 1 1, South Korea also held a grand ceremony to worship Confucius in Seoul. Compared with China, especially during the Cultural Revolution, Confucius was denied and was called the sixth Confucius. Speaking of the history of Kong's discoloration, Koreans respect China culture more, but China culture has a great influence on them, which makes Koreans confuse you and me. In any case, it is the culture of China, and China wants the world to know that it is definitely not something that other countries can take for themselves by applying for the World Heritage. The size of China and the cultural influence of China should shock the world.
