What is the cultural history of Korea and China?

Just like Japan, the influence of the Chinese language in these neighboring countries is extremely far-reaching.

In the 15th century, Lee's Joseon allowed people to create their own language based on the Chinese language.

But the Chinese language remained prevalent in Korea until the early 20th century, when Korea was annexed by Japan.

The revival of nationalism in North Korea began to exclude the use of the Chinese language. Only then did the Chinese language gradually replace its position in North Korea.

However, the Korean classics are still written in Chinese. In the early days, Korean was only used as a spoken language.

And North Korea is also a vassal state of China, worshipping and learning that Chinese civilization is common to neighboring countries.

Accurate South Korea is part of the Korean Peninsula and has long been influenced by the culture of the Central Plains for historical reasons. At one time, it was a part of China, and if there is a relationship, it is like if you have a neighbor, and he also learns to build a house to see how you build it, although the two houses are very similar, but it has nothing to do with you. It's two completely different families.

Korea belonged to China in ancient times, and Korea was also a vassal state of China in history.

In ancient times, only the Tang Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty were the territory of China, and other dynasties, such as the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, were only subject states of China. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty of the Western Han Dynasty pacified Wei's Joseon in 108 B.C., the four counties of the Han Dynasty, Lelang County, Xuansu County, Lintun County, and Zhenfan County, were set up on the Korean Peninsula in present-day Korea, which belonged to Youzhou, and Korea became one of the counties of the Han Dynasty at this time.

History of Korea and China

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to defeat and annex Weiman Korea, and then set up Xuansu, Zhenfan, Lintun, Lelang, and Han four counties. There was a descendant of the Korean Peninsula, named Mitsuna, who established a regime in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula called Mahan.

Later, Ma Han was divided into three, called Ma Han, Jin Han, and Ben Han, which was the predecessor of South Korea and the reason why South Korea was called South Korea. This is also the reason why they themselves call themselves descendants of Samhan. Later, because the national strength of the Han Dynasty was weakening, it slowly lost its control over the Korean Peninsula, which is the origin of North and South Korea.

South Korea has successfully applied for the World Heritage List of Chinese cultures such as the medical book "Dongyi Baojian", acupuncture, tug-of-war, danqing, and Confucian academies.

1. The medical book "Treasure of Eastern Medicine".

In 2009, it was successfully inscribed on the World Heritage List. I believe that many people have not heard of this book. The book "Dongyi Baojian" was written by Koreans, and this writing and copying agreed.

2. Acupuncture.

Because internationally, 99% of the standard of acupuncture is from Korea.

3. Tug-of-war.

In 2015, it was successfully inscribed on the World Heritage List. This is definitely an unpopular knowledge, and most Chinese do not know that there is such a thing. However, South Korea has successfully applied for the World Heritage Site. Since then, the Chinese culture of tug-of-war no longer belongs to China.

4. Danqing.

In the 70s, Shen Heng succeeded in calling for the legacy. Probably because so many years have passed, many Chinese have not noticed it.

5. Confucian Academy.

In 2019, it was successfully inscribed on the World Heritage List. Chinese characters are still written on the academy, but it was successfully applied for the World Heritage by South Korea.
