Why do you Chinese never know how to respect others? You only like to impose your will on others?" Li Yunheng said to Fan Wubing very dissatisfiedly.
Fan Wubing smiled and said, "This is really impossible to talk about. When will you Koreans know how to respect others?"
"When do we disrespect others?" Li Yunheng asked back with dissatisfaction.
"I always have this to identify Confucius and I as Koreans, right?" Fan Wubing immediately raised this question.
Since the economic development of South Korea, its national self-esteem has greatly increased. In recent years, it has vigorously promoted the excellent culture of the Korean nation. At the same time, it intentionally or unintentionally avoided and downplayed the influence of Chinese culture on Korean culture. Some scholars are committed to studying the counter-impact of Korean culture on Chinese culture, and have received praise and funding from all aspects of Korean society.
It is said that some scholars have proved that Confucius is a Korean. Although he has different opinions, he has waited for historical examination as a member of his own opinions. At present, there are bold speculations about Lao Tzu being a Korean, but he has not yet produced strong academic proof.
Some Koreans discuss these issues with Chinese people and ask how Chinese people will react to this, and the Chinese people say they will not have any fierce reactions, and they will definitely laugh it off.
In fact, Confucius is a Korean, Japanese or even American, and it is not a bad thing for China, but may be a great good thing. The Chinese cultural ideal is the harmony of the world, and they don’t care much about the purity of blood and bloodline. If it can be proved that Yao, Shun and Yu are also the ancestors of Koreans or Japanese, and Qin Shihuang’s chromosomes are exactly the same as those of the American presidential family, it will have considerable promotion significance for national exchanges and world peace.
But on the other hand, we should take the attitude of seeking truth from facts when it comes to the mutual influence between different cultures. Chinese history has been influenced by many other cultures, and Chinese culture itself is the result of the convergence and integration of multiple cultures. The Chinese people actively accept this, and there is no need to hide it.
Fan Wubing said to Li Yunheng, "The difference between a big country and a small country is not only in economic development, but also in cultural identity. Although we Chinese are poorer now, we can definitely return to the position of an economic power within ten years. But for South Korea, even if you work hard for a hundred years, you will only be content with a corner of the Han River. Why is this?"
"Although I don't agree with your statement very much, I also want to hear your explanation." Li Yunheng said to Fan Wubing with some dissatisfaction. Her chest was towering and she became fluctuating because of a little anger.
Fan Wubing looked at Li Yunheng's appearance and felt that this little girl was really in character. She was just a little bit of a problem with her local education and had some cognitive deviations. So he said to Li Yunheng. "We eat grapes from the Western Regions, drink coffee from Latin America, wear foreign Japanese suits, and walk in the alleys in Yuandadu. We don't feel inferior. Other people's land is good. We have learned it. That is, we all share the land. We have to force you and me. Sometimes these things are hard to tell."
Li Yunheng immediately expressed his disagreement. "This matter must be clearly distinguished. Otherwise, how do you know that our Korean nation is the best nation in the world?"
Fan Wubing suddenly felt a little nauseous. He wanted to vomit and said to her. "Discussing this kind of thing with you is really playing the piano with a cow. The best ethnic groups in the world are not blown out by themselves. They must be recognized by everyone! For example, many people in South Korea now oppose the use of Chinese characters. They must use Korean phonetic characters everywhere. I have no objection to this at all. Because from a broad perspective, this is conducive to the development of Korean cultural spirit. But the problem is that about 70% of the basic words in Korean come from Chinese. The use of Chinese characters as written language has a long history. The invention of Korean phonetic characters has only been more than 500 years until the 70th century.
In the era, Chinese characters can be seen everywhere in Korean society. In this way, forcibly abolishing Chinese characters will cause many words to be confused. When I was in Seoul, I saw many Korean newspapers, especially academic papers, and marked Chinese characters with brackets behind some vocabulary sites. This means that without Chinese characters, these words are difficult to understand. For example, artistic conception, Buddhism, decisive battles, argumentation, etc. I think Chinese characters are the same as other languages ​​and characters. It is not that Chinese people can monopolize them. Why do they have to eliminate them completely? The terrible consequences of the elimination of Chinese characters have been pointed out by many Korean scholars, such as breaking history, hardening of thinking, etc. I don’t need to say much here.”
After hearing Fan Wubing's words, Li Yunheng immediately retorted. "China and South Korea are very close to each other. The influence between cultures is inevitable. You cannot just think that Korean culture is spread from China. We also have our own cultural traditions and our own ethnic characteristics."
Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "Just like Seoul is changed to Seoul. When Chinese people hear Seoul, they can feel that this is a grand, prosperous, and culturally-filled capital. But if it is called Seoul, it is different from most Korean place names. If it must be translated according to the Korean pronunciation, some people will probably say that the most accurate pronunciation of Seoul is Seoul. Although the pronunciation is accurate, it means a pornographic secret place. It is even worse. Perhaps some people will say it as a bad smell. Because the garbage in Seoul is not cleaned up in time, the streets are filled with a rotten smell of kimchi. So I think it is better not to change the name."
After hearing Fan Wubing's words, Li Yunheng was so angry that her nose almost tilted. She shook her head and walked away angrily. Halfway through the excitement, she sprained one of the heels of her high heels, and simply walked into her own car barefoot and directly ordered someone to drive away.
Fan Wubing looked at Li
The back of the trip laughed loudly, "I still have a way. I'll give it a few words to pass it away."
A bodyguard following Fan Wubing curled his lips and said, "Boss, you are a good at harming others!"
"People will humiliate themselves, and later others will humiliate them. This is all their own fault and has nothing to do with me." Fan Wubing replied with a smile.
North Korea and South Korea have been greatly influenced by Chinese culture since ancient times, especially their mainstream culture, all without the imprint of Chinese civilization. They use Chinese language, read books of Confucius and Mencius, and use traditional Chinese medicine. They copied the Chinese bureaucratic system, built academies, and implemented the imperial examinations to select officials, and some even went directly to China to participate in the imperial examinations as officials. They used the Chinese style to build cities and palaces, and their royal court directly used Chinese palace instruments and music. They introduced Buddhism and Taoism from China. They adopted the Chinese calendar to celebrate Chinese festivals.
Everything in China has penetrated into every corner of the lives of North Korea and South Korea.
However, after the Sino-Japanese War, China's national power declined to the bottom, and China's centripetal force against North Korea and South Korea weakened. In addition, the narrow sentiment of national independence and populism after World War II increased, so North Korea 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 have been deeply engraved into the history and culture of South Korea and are always lingering. The couplets and plaques in their academies and temples are all Chinese characters, and the historical records are also Chinese characters. Even the stone slabs with official Chinese characters such as Zhengyi are engraved on the stone slabs at the foot of the ministers outside the Wangtingyuan. All the characters on cultural relics that have been over a hundred years in the museum are also Chinese characters. It is easy to remove the Chinese characters on newspapers and books, but removing the Chinese characters on these cultural relics is equivalent to erasing Korean history in one stroke.
While Fan Wubing was in Seoul, he accidentally saw a young man worshiping his ancestors during the Spring Festival. He used printed Chinese characters to worship his ancestors. So Fan Wubing asked the young man if he understood what the above meaning was. The young man shook his head and said he didn't know.
So since Fan Wubing didn't understand, why did he use Chinese? The young man smiled and refused to answer.
Later, Fan Wubing smiled and told his entourage that this young man was a filial junior. If they used Korean to worship their ancestors, how could the ancestor who used Chinese characters know? Everyone laughed at the time and said that it was indeed the case.
In other aspects, the influence of Chinese culture in Korea can also be seen everywhere. For example, they use chopsticks to eat, eat rice cakes during the Spring Festival, eat buns and noodles during the Dragon Boat Festival, and drink Chinese medicine to make wine. Some words in Korean are taken directly from Chinese characters, and names and place names are taken from Chinese characters. Even their national flags are taken from Chinese Yin and Yang Bagua, but they have not learned all, and only use four hexagrams.
China's culture, philosophy, values ​​and ways of thinking have penetrated into the bone marrow of Koreans. De-Sinicization is almost impossible. If it is forced to be removed, then South Korea will become unnoticed.
In order to de-Sinicize, Koreans always try to find some Korean characteristics on small things. For example, Korean chopsticks are not square-section, but flat, and are mostly made of stainless steel. Unlike Chinese embroidered chopsticks, they just don’t know what they used to eat before the invention of stainless steel?
Another thing is that Koreans say they use spoons to drink soup, while Chinese drink it directly with bowls. In fact, Koreans probably don’t know what the Chinese have used for porcelain spoons for hundreds or even thousands of years? The stupa in South Korea is a stone pagoda, which is different from the brick pagodas in China or the wooden pagodas in Japan. But they don’t know how big China is, and it is adapted to local conditions. There are stone pagodas, brick pagodas, wooden pagodas, earth pagodas, glass pagodas and even metal pagodas such as iron and copper.
Korean culture does have its own uniqueness, but it seems difficult to convince people to choose these trivial matters to demonstrate their uniqueness in culture. In the big aspect, everything in Korea is always connected with Chinese culture.
South Korea's economic success in recent decades has made South Korea strive to find its own position in Northeast Asia and even the world. With China's increasing strength, coupled with historical and geographical reasons, South Korea cannot escape the influence of China and Chinese culture. This is a reality that Koreans with extreme nationalist ideas cannot accept but have to accept, and this is also an embarrassment for Koreans today.
De-Sinicization failed, so Koreans had to accept the reality of Chinese culture, which was very cruel to extreme nationalists. So Koreans simply pushed things to the extreme and said that Chinese culture was theirs. This is why the Dragon Boat Festival, Confucius, Chinese medicine and Chinese inventions were all included in South Korea, and even the entire north of China's Yangtze River were included in their territory.
However, Fan Wubing believes that this weak country thinking is really undesirable, and it is not scary to compete with the Chinese people for culture, which shows that they have a sense of identity with Chinese culture. However, if nationalism and island countries continue to expand and try to turn the map in the book into reality, it will be very dangerous.
Or, the Japanese thought so back then, from admiring Chinese culture to longing for Chinese resources, and finally brought people in.
Fan Wubing felt that the responsibility of hitting Koreans now and making them honest is on his shoulders. As long as they starve this little dragon, one of the four Asian dragons, into loaches, no matter how they do, they will not be able to jump up.
Of course, the best way to limit their development is to be the first to monopolize the domestic market they may enter. Fan Wubing is still quite confident about this.
