Chapter 334: A Visit to South Korea

In the midst of a cold wave, the delegation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang University, which is responsible for cultural exchanges, finally set off for South Korea.

Zhu Chaoyang, president of Jiangsu and Zhejiang University, personally served as the head of the delegation, and Wang Ligang, dean of the institute, served as the deputy head of the delegation, including 15 students and teachers, including Cao Yue, Zheng Han, Xu Fei, and Chen Baikun.

The teachers and students selected for the exchange group are outstanding teachers and students of Jiangsu and Zhejiang University.

The provincial television station also sent an interview group to follow South Korea, and the person in charge of organizing the interview was Ding Jia, whom Cao Yue knew.

There are beautiful women everywhere, and the male members of the exchange group are very excited, and Cao Yue is about the same.

It's just that Zheng Han is by his side, and he is embarrassed to be very intimate with several other beauties.

The Airbus 330 plane on which the exchange group took took off from Xiaoshan Airport and rushed into the sky, Cao Yue and Zheng Han, who were sitting together, were talking with their eyebrows.

Xu Fei and Chen Baikun, who were sitting near them, looked at their intimate appearance, and felt indescribably depressed.

Especially Xu Fei, who really wanted to put the water cup in his hand on Cao Yue's head.

Don't show affection in front of her, can't you hide yourself?

Fortunately, the introduction of a staff member of the Foreign Affairs Office of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, who went with the group, interrupted Cao Yue and Zheng Han's whispering.

"We landed in front of us at Seoul Incheon International Airport, which is not in downtown Seoul, but on an artificial island in Incheon, Gyeonggi Province, west of Seoul. The old airport, Gimpo International Airport, was too close to the city and the airport facilities were outdated, which could not meet the take-off and landing of international flights, so it was changed to a special landing for domestic flights. In just over an hour, you will be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of South Korea. South Korea has developed rapidly in recent years, and their urban construction is also very good, Seoul is very clean and tidy, and the traffic order is also very good, which is better than our Yanjing. I hope that all members of the exchange group can have a happy and successful visit. ”

As soon as the staff of the Foreign Affairs Office finished speaking, Chen Baikun, who was sitting behind Cao Yue, couldn't help but stand up: "Actually, South Korea is nothing to look at, it can't compare to my Huaxia land, and there are beautiful scenery everywhere. What's more, during the Han and Tang dynasties, South Korea was just a county or governor's office in China, and the previous name of Seoul was Seoul, the city of the Han people, and the river in front of Seoul was called the Han River, the river of the Han family. When our exchange group visits, we can't have any idea of admiring foreign countries, and we are the best in China. ”

Chen Baikun originally admired Sinology very much, and studied Sinology a lot, of course, because he liked Zheng Han, so after going to university, he was more interested in the study of Sinology.

People who study Sinology basically study it because they like it, and the very important reason why they like Sinology is because the history of the Han nation is very glorious and the ancient Chinese are very strong, and because of these have a sense of pride, they are interested in researching.

After studying the history of China, a sense of national superiority will naturally arise from the heart, whether it is Chen Baikun, Zheng Han, or Cao Yue, it is all like this.

In their own words, they are standard Chinese nationalists.

The Chinese nation is the best nation in the world, and China is the greatest country in the world. This is not the theory of the angry youth, but the self-confidence and superiority brought to them by the brilliant and splendid Han culture created by the powerful and powerful China for thousands of years.

Indeed, in the ancient history of China, there are too many places that make Chinese people proud. Whether it is the glory of the martial arts of the Han, Tang and Ming dynasties, or the economic and cultural prosperity of the Tang and Song dynasties, many people still talk about it.

However, the successive regimes on the Korean Peninsula were all vassal states of China, and they had to accept the canonization of the orthodox Central Plains Dynasty, and even their sovereignty was incomplete.

So in the eyes of many people, the people on that peninsula are inferior to Huaxia.

During the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, the majestic Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, sent a large army to destroy the Weiman Joseon regime in Liaodong at that time, which is now the Korean Peninsula, and set up the four counties of Lelang, Xuansu, Zhenfan, and Lintun During the Tang Dynasty, the general Su Dingfang led an army of 150,000 to attack Baekje in the south of the Liaodong Peninsula from the sea, and destroyed it without much effort, and set up the Xiongjin Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in his hometown, which was located in Buyeo County, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea.

In the third year of the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty established the Governor of Jilin Prefecture on the territory of Silla, and Silla officially became the legitimate local government of the Tang Dynasty, and the territory of Silla was also included in the unified division of the Tang Dynasty. Later, the Tang army united with the Silla people to defeat the Goryeo regime that lived north of the Liaodong Peninsula, and since then, the entire Liaodong Peninsula, which is now the Korean Peninsula, has been under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Baikun is familiar with this history, so he has always looked down on the two regimes on the peninsula, and like many people, he is commensurate with the people there, plus he saw Cao Yue and Zheng Han looking intimate just now, and he was angry, and when he heard the staff of the Foreign Affairs Office praise South Korea, he couldn't help but stand up and refute it, and by the way, he showed off his talents.

His speech attracted a lot of applause, and even Cao Yue was impressed by him.

Originally, Cao Yue thought that Chen Baikun, the second generation of officials and the second generation of riches, should be a fellow who was not without academics, but he didn't expect to look away.

"But think about it, how can someone who can be Zheng Han's friend be an embroidered pillow?" he smiled in his heart.

At this time, Zhu Chaoyang, the head of the delegation, stood up and said: "Chen Baikun's speech is quite insightful. However, I think that we should not elevate others to belittle ourselves, nor should we be so arrogant that we think that Huaxia is still the central dynasty, and we must admit that China is backward and imperfect now. Recognizing reality, facing up to our shortcomings, promoting our strengths, and carrying forward Sinology and culture are the purposes of this exchange. Of course, I look forward to you bringing glory to your country. ”

Zhu Chaoyang's words were applauded by all the members of the exchange group, and Chen Baikun also applauded desperately.

Ding Jia and her colleagues, who were interviewed with the group, recorded the wonderful scene just now in the form of video.

Soon, the plane landed at Incheon International Airport.

They were greeted by embassy personnel, along with Park Jung-tae, deputy director of the South Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and a vice president of Seoul National University.

After some pleasantries, everyone got into the car arranged by the South Korean side and headed to the city.

Park Jung-tae and Zhu Chaoyang sat together, and the two talked happily through the translator, of course, they only talked about some scenes of the scene.

Chatting and chatting, suddenly Park Zhengtai said: "I heard that your country is submitting a report to the United Nations on the Dragon Boat Festival World Heritage List." Hehe, our Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival has been successfully applied for the World Heritage Site for many years. I don't think your government needs to apply for the World Intangible Cultural Heritage in the form of the Dragon Boat Festival, because we already have our Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival. ”

Although Park Zhengtai said it very easily, those who understood the meaning of his words knew that this was a naked provocation.

In recent years, cultural disputes between South Korea and China have arisen one after another.

The most famous is the dispute over the ownership of the Dragon Boat Festival, a festival with a strong cultural atmosphere, and South Korea applied for an intangible cultural heritage project related to the Dragon Boat Festival before China, which led to disputes between the cultural circles of the two countries.

They also believe that Li Shizhen, a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty, is a Korean national, and the copyright of the Compendium of Materia Medica should belong to South Korea, as well as the copyright of intangible cultural heritage such as movable type printing, papermaking, and feng shui.

These intangible cultural heritages recognized by the world as belonging to China are of course not tolerated by South Koreans who come to fight for them.

As a result, the cultural strife continued.

Everyone knows that this so-called cultural exchange is a cultural contest and dispute between the two countries. However, no one expected that as soon as the Chinese exchange delegation arrived in South Korea, South Korean officials raised such a very sharp and sensitive issue.

The interpreter hesitated, not knowing how to translate the question.
