Similarities and differences between Japanese and Korean folklore

1.In Japan, the traditional diet consists of sushi and fish fillets, and the meat and bones are separated from the bones with the tip of the chopsticks. (Japanese students gave me a few pairs of their chopsticks, and the front end was also sanded with frosted to increase friction and facilitate food picking, very intimate detail design).

2.On the other hand, many Korean diets, including kimchi, are fermented and semi-fermented, and if you use wooden chopsticks, the color and taste will change over time. Why is it flat?

In Korea, the wife used to put the chopsticks on a small square table and serve them to her husband, so the flat chopsticks were not easy to slip off.

3.Our Chinese chopsticks have evolved to this day, on the one hand, to facilitate the holding of various ingredients, on the other hand, this length is also convenient for holding distant food on the round table.

Chinese culture is the source of Japanese and Korean culture, and we are the cultural originator of these two countries, which is the biggest difference! It can be said that without Chinese civilization, there would be no culture of Japan and Korea today!

According to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, in ancient China, Japan was called "Wa" or "Wa Country". After the unification of Japan in the 5th century, it was named "Yamato".

In the second half of the 7th century, the Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty changed the name of the country to "Japan", which means "the place where the sun rises", according to the title in the Chinese emperor's letter, and it has been used to this day. The Japanese have always regarded the sun as a totem.

After the Sui and Tang dynasties, Japan began to accept Han culture on a large scale, and as more and more people learned about Chinese culture, Japan became more and more dissatisfied with the title of "Wa Guo". According to the "New Tang Dynasty Book: The Biography of Japan", it is recorded that in the first year of Xianheng (670), the Wa State sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty.

The messenger said to himself, because he was coming out in the near future, and he took it as a name." Therefore, the name of Japan should have been given by the emperor of the Sui Dynasty of China unintentionally.

Japan originally had no written language, so it has been using Chinese characters, about 80% of the Japanese language accent is a diacritic of Chinese, and the Japanese language pronunciation is mainly ** in the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Qing Dynasty from the multi-time and multi-level Chinese dialect accent and Indochina accent fusion of the Indochina Peninsula, so Japanese culture has been deeply influenced by China. Japan's assimilation of Chinese culture is a multifaceted, long-term and thousand-year-old historical process.

As for Korean culture, it doesn't take too much explanation to understand that South Korea is now sparing no effort to apply for "Confucius" as Korea's world cultural heritage, which shows how pitiful South Korea's culture is!
