"Why do you Chinese never know how to respect others? Only like to impose your own will on others? Li Yunxuan said to Fan Wuxian very dissatisfied.

Fan Wuxian smiled and said, "It's really impossible to talk about, when did you Koreans know how to respect others?" ”

"When did we disrespect others?" Li Yunxin asked very unconvinced.

"Confucius and Lao Tzu are always considered Koreans, right?" Fan Wuxian immediately raised the question.

Since the development of the Korean economy, the national self-esteem has been greatly enhanced, and in recent years, the excellent culture of the Korean nation has been vigorously promoted. At the same time, they consciously or unconsciously avoid and downplay the influence of Chinese culture on Korean culture, and some scholars have devoted themselves to studying the counter-influence of Korean culture on Chinese culture, which has been praised and funded by all aspects of Korean society.

It is said that some scholars have proved that Kong. Zinai is Korean, and although there are different opinions, they have been waiting for the test of history as a family opinion. At present, there is a bold conjecture that Lao Tzu is also Korean, but no strong academic proof has been produced.

Some Koreans are with China. When people discuss these issues, they ask the Chinese how they will react to this, and the Chinese will say that there will be no violent reaction, and they must laugh it off.

In fact, Confucius was Korean. Or the Japanese or even the Americans, it is not a bad thing for China, but it can be a great good thing. The cultural ideal of the Chinese is the unity of the world, and if it can be proved that Yao Shunyu is also the ancestor of Koreans or Japanese, and the chromosomes of Qin Shihuang are exactly the same as those of the US presidential family, it will have considerable significance for ethnic exchanges and world peace.

But on the other hand, for . The interaction between different cultures should still be based on a realistic attitude. China has been influenced by many other cultures throughout its history, and Chinese culture itself is the result of the convergence of diverse cultures. The Chinese have accepted this positively, and there is no denying it.

Fan Wuxian said to Li Yunxing, "A big country. The difference with a small country lies not only in economic development, but also in cultural identity. Although we Chinese are poorer now, we will definitely be able to return to the position of an economic power in less than ten years, but for South Korea, even if you work hard for another hundred years, you can only settle in a corner of the Han River, what is the reason? ”

"I strongly disagree with you, but I. . . I'd like to hear your explanation, too. Li Yunxuan said to Fan Wuxian with some dissatisfaction, and the towering chest became undulating because of some anger.

Fan Wuxi looked at Li Yunxuan's appearance and felt that this small. The girl has a real temperament, but the education she received is a little problematic, and there are some cognitive biases, so he said to Li Yunxing, "We eat grapes from the Western Regions, drink coffee from Latin America, wear foreign devils' suits, and walk in the alleys of Yuan Dadu, how inferior are we, other people's things are good, we have learned, that is what we all share, we have to force you and me, these things are sometimes indistinguishable." [Wu Blang Xue Network Express]"

Lee Yoon-hyung immediately expressed a different opinion, "This matter must be clearly distinguished, otherwise how can we know that our Korean nation is the best nation in the world?" ”

Fan Wuxi suddenly felt a little nauseous, and said to her as he felt like vomiting, "Discussing this kind of thing with you is really playing the piano to the cow." The best nation in the world is not blown out by itself, it must be recognized by everyone! For example, many people in South Korea now oppose the use of Chinese characters, and they must use Korea's own phonetic script everywhere. I don't have a problem with this at all, because in the big picture, it is conducive to the development of the spirit of Korean culture. But the problem is that more than 70% of the basic vocabulary in Korean Chinese comes from Chinese, and the history of using Chinese characters as a written language is quite long. The invention of the Korean phonetic script was only more than 500 years ago, and until the 70s of this century, Chinese character reading materials were still everywhere in Korean society. In this way, the forcible abolition of Chinese characters will result in many words being lost. When I was in Seoul, I saw a lot of Korean newspapers and periodicals, especially academic papers, with Chinese characters in parentheses after some words, which means that without Chinese characters, these words would be difficult to understand, such as artistic conception, Buddhism, decisive battle, discussion, etc. I think that Chinese characters, like other languages and scripts, are not exclusive to the Chinese, so why do we have to eliminate them cleanly? The terrible consequences of the eradication of Chinese characters have already been pointed out by Xu Xu, such as the rupture of history and the hardening of thinking, so I need not say much about it here. ”

Li Yunxing listened to Fan Wuxi's words and immediately retorted, "China and South Korea are very close, and the influence between cultures is inevitable, so we can't just think that Korean culture came from China, we also have our own cultural traditions and national characteristics." ”

Fan Wuxian shook his head and said, "Just like the change of Seoul to Seoul, Chinese can feel that Seoul is a grand, prosperous, and culturally spiritual capital. But if it is called Seoul, it is different from most Korean place names. If you have to translate it according to the Korean pronunciation, then I'm afraid some people will say that the most accurate pronunciation about Seoul is Sewoer, although the pronunciation is accurate, but the meaning is a secret place of ****, which is even worse. Some people may say that it is rancid, because when the garbage in Seoul is not cleaned up in time, the streets are filled with the smell of rotting kimchi. So I thought, it's better not to change the name. ”

After listening to Fan Wuxi's words, Li Yunxing was so angry that her nose was almost crooked, she shook her head, and walked away angrily, and because of her emotional excitement on the way, she broke off the heel of her high heels, and simply walked into her own car barefoot, and directly ordered someone to drive away.

Fan Wuxi looked at Li Yunxing's departing back, and laughed, "I still have a way, and I can get rid of this trouble in a few words." ”

A boss who followed Fan Wuxi, you are good at hurting people

"A man will dishonor himself, and the latter will dishonor him." They brought it all on themselves, and it has nothing to do with me. Fan replied with a smile.

Since ancient times, the DPRK and the ROK have been greatly influenced by Chinese culture, especially their mainstream culture, all of which are without the imprint of Chinese civilization. They use Chinese, read the books of Confucius and Meng, and use Chinese medicine. They copied China's bureaucratic system, built academies, carried out the imperial examination to select officials, and some even went directly to China to participate in the imperial examination to become officials. They built their cities and palaces in the Chinese style, and their royal courts directly adopted Chinese court instruments and music. They introduced Buddhism and Taoism from China. They adopt the Chinese calendar and celebrate Chinese festivals.

Everything in China has penetrated into every corner of the lives of the North Koreans.

However, after the First Sino-Japanese War, China's national strength declined to the bottom, China's centripetal force towards North and South Korea weakened, and coupled with the rise of narrow ethnic independence and populist sentiment after World War II, North and South Korea began to de-Sinicize, one of the measures was to completely abandon Chinese and completely adopt the current Korean language.

But Chinese characters are deeply embedded in Korean history and culture, and they always linger. The couplets and plaques of their academies and temples are all in Chinese characters, and the historical records are also in Chinese characters, that is, the stone slabs at the foot of the foreign ministers of the royal court are engraved with official rank Chinese characters such as Zheng Yipin, and the words on all the cultural relics in the museum that are more than 100 years old are also Chinese characters. It is easy to remove Chinese characters from newspapers and books, but removing Chinese characters from cultural relics is equivalent to erasing Korean history.

During Fan Wuzhi's stay in Seoul, he happened to see young people worshipping their ancestors during the Spring Festival, and the ancestors were worshipped in printed Chinese characters. So Fan Wuxian asked the young man if he understood what was written on it? The young man shook his head and said he didn't know.

So Fan Wuxian asked why he used Chinese since he didn't understand? The young man smiled and did not answer.

Later, Fan Wuxian smiled and said to the entourage, this young man is a filial junior, if they use Korean to worship their ancestors, how can they know the ancestors who use Chinese characters? Everyone laughed and said it was true.

In other ways, the influence of Chinese culture in South Korea can be seen everywhere. For example, they use chopsticks to eat, eat rice cakes during the Spring Festival, eat steamed buns and noodles, celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, and drink traditional Chinese medicine tonic wine. Some words in Korean are taken directly from Chinese characters, names and place names are taken from Chinese characters, and even their national flag is taken from the Chinese yin and yang gossip, but they are not fully learned, only four trigrams are used.

Chinese culture, philosophy, values and ways of thinking have been deeply rooted in the marrow of Koreans. De-sinicization is almost impossible, and if it is forcibly removed, then South Korea will be out of the country.

In order to de-sinicize, Koreans always try to find out some Korean characteristics in some small things. For example, Korean chopsticks are not square cross-section, but flat, and mostly made of stainless steel, which is different from Chinese square bamboo chopsticks, but I don't know what they used to eat before the invention of stainless steel?

There is also the fact that Koreans say that they drink soup with a spoon, while Chinese drink it directly from a bowl. In fact, Koreans probably don't know what the porcelain soup spoons that the Chinese have used for hundreds or even thousands of years are used for. The pagodas in Korea are stone pagodas, which are different from the brick pagodas in China or the wooden pagodas in Japan. But they don't know how big China is, and according to local conditions, there are stone towers, brick towers, wooden towers, earth towers, glazed towers and even metal towers such as iron and copper.

Korean culture does have its own uniqueness, but it seems hard to convince people to pick these small things to highlight the uniqueness of their culture. In general, everything in Korea is always inextricably linked to Chinese culture.

South Korea's economic success in recent decades has led the country to strive to find its place in Northeast Asia and the world. With the growing power of China, coupled with historical and geopolitical reasons, South Korea cannot escape the influence of China and Chinese culture. This is a reality that South Koreans with ultra-nationalist ideas cannot accept, but have to accept, and it is also an embarrassment for Koreans today.

The fact that de-sinicization was unsuccessful and that Koreans had to accept Chinese culture was very cruel to ultranationalists. So the Koreans simply took things to the extreme, saying that Chinese culture is theirs. That's why the Dragon Boat Festival, Confucius, Chinese medicine, and Chinese inventions were all included in Korea, and even the whole of China north of the Yangtze River. This kind of weak country mentality is really undesirable, and it is not terrible to compete with the Chinese for culture, which shows their sense of identity with Chinese culture, but if nationalism and the island mentality continue to swell and try to turn the territory on the books into reality, it will be very dangerous.

Or, the same thought was true of the Japanese back then, from admiring Chinese culture to thirsting for China's resources, and finally bringing people in.

Fan Wuxian felt that the responsibility of beating the Koreans now and making them more honest fell on his shoulders, as long as he starved this little dragon, one of the four Asian tigers, into a loach, then no matter what they did, they would not be able to jump

Of course, the best way to restrict their development is to take the lead in monopolizing the domestic market that they may enter.

Today's third shift arrived, and I eagerly begged for monthly ticket support. , on the cat flutter no pop-ups
