    In our public perception, it seems that we don't hear much about Korean writers, and most of them are Japanese writers, which is strange, isn't there a good writer in Korea? Even if there is no one in a short period of time, is there no work that can be done from ancient times to the present? Actually, no, South Korea also has excellent literary works, such as Shin Kyung-sook's "Mom, You're **", this book is very moving, it is a book that is very worth seeing, and it has been translated into the languages of 34 countries and spread around the world.

    There is also the Korean literary genius Suitcase, who is also a very good and rare writer, and his works include "Wings", which is a very popular poetry collection. And so on and so forth. It is impossible for a country to develop so far without the implementation of literature, which is an indispensable element of a country.

    Just like our country, to be so strong, absolutely indispensable to the influence of traditional culture, we have our own national soul and spirit, this kind of non-material must be passed down by words, passed on from generation to generation, forming a unique cultural system of the country.

    South Korea's culture developed late, but that doesn't mean it's not developed well. Every country has its own flourishing culture. Due to some historical reasons in Korea, coupled with the later Japanese invasion, there was very little production of literary works and few famous writers.

    After all, neighboring countries naturally had to be the first to establish good relations, and all this was very easy to do because of the common aggressor, Japan.

    In fact, South Korea's excellent works are not circulated in our country, which is also because there are too few talents in our country in this area, and the language majors of North Korea and Korean started late in our country, so everything is slower. In the decades that followed, we did not pay much attention to this aspect, and it was also a lack of our country, and it was beneficial for us to learn from the excellent Korean culture, and Korea could also gain benefits by promoting their culture to the world, and it was also mutual.

    Because Korea has no history and culture, even if it does, it cannot be separated from the influence of Chinese culture.

    The Korean script is also KoreanThe grammar of this kind of writing is very strange, and the general structure of the text is different, originally Koreans they used Chinese, but later they actually abolished Chinese,And they used the Korean language they invented, so the whole style has been modified and changed a lot compared to the previous Chinese, so it is difficult to write literary works in this language, unlike Chinese and English, even if it is as broad and profound as Japanese, but although Korea does not have any great authors and literary works, it has made a lot of movies with good ratings.

    I believe we all know that many countries in the world have their own authorsLet's say that in Russia there is Gorky, and in our country there isLu XunAnd there isMo Yan, France has Balzac and Hugo, Japan has itKeigo Higashino, Haruki Murakami,Even in India, there is such a well-known writer as Tagore, but South Korea cannot find a writer who can do it, and many people feel strange, after all, South Korea is also a quasi-developed country in AsiaWhether it's the electronics industry or the entertainment industry, South Korea is not badWhy is it so lacking in terms of culture?

    In fact, the reason why no one in Korea can write good works is related to Korean history, culture and writingFirst of all, South Korea has no historical and cultural heritage, in the pastGoryeoThat is, the later North Korea has always been our country'sSubjects, a tribute to our country for a long time, so talk about culture and Chinese culture.

    Relatively closeBut they are different from Japan, which has adapted and carried forward the Han culture after absorbing itSouth Korea hardly changed it until it finally absorbed Western culture from Europe and the United States, so Korean culture has no personality of its own.

    And Korea used to use Chinese charactersFor example, in some TV dramas about ancient Korea, it can be seen that ancient Koreans generally used Chinese characters, but in modern times, they slowly abandoned Chinese characters and invented their own HangeulThe same is true for North Korea, which is a very mutilated languageIt is difficult to use for writing, and the stylistic structure is completely different from that of Chinese, so it is difficult to express and write excellent works in this kind of writing, so there are no excellent authors in South Korea, but although South Korea does not have excellent literary authors, it has made many excellent movies, which is also worthy of admiration.

    It's not that there are no well-known writers in Korea, but there are relatively few of them. First, modern literature in Korea started late; The second is the issue of translation and promotion in South Korea.

    There are no well-known writers in South Korea until now, which is also directly related to their culture, because the cultural atmosphere of their country is difficult to produce well-known writers.

    South Korea is most famous for either kimchi or Korean entertainment, many powerful writers go to write scripts to make money, or they go to variety shows to do planning and the like, compared with being a writer, these jobs are more sought after.

    That's because South Korea doesn't pay as much attention to ** works as other countries, and there are actually many writers in South Korea, but there are few famous writers.

    Because South Korea does not have its own cultural heritage, and the historical and cultural background of South Korea is fabricated by itself

    Because South Korea does not have a strong historical heritage, in order to write a famous work, first of all, a country must have a very rich cultural heritage, otherwise there will be very little material for writing.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese who coveted the Northeast began to carry out large-scale infiltration and colonization of the Northeast, which reached a peak after the fall of the Northeast on September 18. The most important thing to colonize is immigration, especially in the early days, most of the Japanese personnel in China were soldiers, and daily rule and management also needed people! However, due to Japan's own situation and financial problems, it was impossible to transfer enough manpower from the Japanese mainland, so Japan requisitioned a large number of South Koreans (Koreans) from the Korean Peninsula, which had long been "merged" with Japan at that time. >>>More
