Chapter 329 The Dispute over Cultural Orthodoxy "Please Give Me Your Monthly Ticket"

Why do you Chinese never know how to respect others? Do you just like to impose your will on others? "Li Yunheng said to Fan Wubing very dissatisfied.

Fan Wubing smiled and said, "This is really out of the question. When did you Koreans learn to respect others?"

"When did we disrespect others?" Li Yunheng asked in dissatisfaction.

"Confucius and Lao Tzu are both Koreans. Is this always possible?" Fan Wubing immediately raised this question.

Since South Korea's economic development, its national self-esteem has been greatly enhanced. In recent years, it has vigorously promoted the excellent culture of the Korean nation. At the same time, they intentionally or unintentionally avoid and downplay the influence of Chinese culture on Korean culture. Some scholars are committed to studying the counter-influence 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 was Korean. Although there are different opinions, it has been regarded as a family opinion and is waiting for historical review. At present, there are bold conjectures that Lao Tzu is also Korean, but there is no strong academic proof yet.

When some Koreans discussed these issues with Chinese people, they asked how the Chinese would react to this. The Chinese said that there would be no violent reaction and would certainly laugh it off.

In fact, it is not a bad thing for China that Confucius is Korean, Japanese or even American. On the contrary, it may be a great good thing. The Chinese people's cultural ideal is the unity of the world, and they don't care much about the purity of blood and blood. If it can be proved that Yao, Shun, and Yu were also the ancestors of Koreans or Japanese, and Qin Shihuang's chromosomes are exactly the same as those of the American presidential family, then it will be a good thing for the nation. Exchanges and world peace will have considerable promotion significance.

But on the other hand, we should still adopt a pragmatic attitude towards the mutual influence between different cultures. China has been influenced by many other cultures in history, and Chinese culture itself is the result of the intersection and integration of multiple cultures. The Chinese people accept this positively, and there is no denying it.

Fan Wubing said to Li Yunheng, "The difference between a big country and 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." Go up, but as for South Korea, even if you work hard for another hundred years, you will end up settling in a corner of the Han River. Why is this?"

"Although I strongly disagree with your statement, I also want to hear your explanation." Li Yunheng said to Fan Wubing with some dissatisfaction. The high chest became undulating due to some anger.

Fan Wubing looked at Li Yunheng. I think this little girl is really good-natured. It's just that there is something wrong with the local education. There are just some cognitive biases. So he said to Li Yunheng. “We eat grapes from the Western Regions.

Drinking coffee from Latin America. Wearing a foreign devil's suit. Walking in the alleys of Dadu in Yuan Dynasty. We don't feel inferior. Their stuff is good. We learned. That is the land we all share. We must forcefully divide you and me. These things are sometimes indistinguishable. "

Li Yunheng immediately expressed his different opinions. "This matter must be clearly distinguished. Otherwise, how do we know that our Korean nation is the best nation in the world?"

Fan Wubing suddenly felt a little nauseous. He said to her while holding back the feeling of vomiting. "Discussing this kind of thing with you is really cheating. The best nation in the world is not invented by itself. It must be recognized by everyone! For example, many people in South Korea are opposed to the use of Chinese characters. Korean phonetic characters must be used everywhere. . I have no opinion on this at all. Because from a big perspective, this is conducive to the promotion of Korean cultural spirit. But the problem is that more than 70% of the basic vocabulary in Korean comes from Chinese. The history of using Chinese characters as a written language is quite long. Korean phonetic writing was invented only over 500 years ago. Until the 1970s, Chinese character reading materials could still be seen everywhere in Korean society. In this way, the forced abolition of Chinese characters will cause many words to be incomprehensible. I am in Seoul. At that time, I saw many Korean newspapers and periodicals, especially academic papers. Behind some words, Chinese characters were marked in parentheses. This means that without Chinese characters, these words are difficult to understand. For example, artistic conception, Buddhism, decisive battle, discussion, etc. I think. Chinese characters are the same as other languages. They are not exclusive to the Chinese. Why must they be completely eliminated? Many Korean scholars have pointed out the terrible consequences of eliminating Chinese characters, such as historical rupture and hardening of thinking. I don’t need to say more here.”

Li Yunheng listened to Fan Wubing's words. He immediately retorted. "China and South Korea are very close. The influence between cultures is inevitable. We cannot just think that Korean culture was passed down from China. We also have our own cultural traditions and our own national characteristics."

Fan Wubing shook his head and said. "For example, when Seoul is changed to Seoul, when Chinese people hear Seoul, they can feel that it is a grand, prosperous, and cultural capital. But if it is called Seoul, it is different from most Korean place name styles. If It must be translated according to the Korean pronunciation. I'm afraid some people will say that. The most accurate pronunciation of Seoul is Sewoer. Although the pronunciation is accurate, the meaning is a secret place for pornography. On the contrary, it is even worse. Maybe some people will say It became a rancid smell. Because when the garbage in Seoul was not cleaned up in time, the streets were filled with a rancid smell of rotten kimchi. So I thought it would be better not to change the name."

After Li Yunheng heard Fan Wubing's words, he was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. He shook his head and walked away angrily. On the way, because of his excitement, he lost one of the heels of his high heels and simply stripped them. She stepped into her own car and directly ordered someone to drive away.

Fan Wubing looked at Li

He turned his back and laughed loudly, "I still have a way. I'll get rid of the trouble in just a few words."

One of the bodyguards following Fan Wubing curled his lips and said, "Boss, you are good at hurting others!"

"People must humiliate themselves, and others will humiliate them. They are all asking for it, and it has nothing to do with me." Fan Wubing replied with a smile.

North and South Korea have been greatly influenced by Chinese culture since ancient times, especially their mainstream cultures, all of which are imprinted with Chinese civilization. They use Chinese, read the books of Confucius and Mencius, and use Chinese medicine. They copied the Chinese bureaucracy, built academies, and conducted imperial examinations to select officials. Some even came directly to China to take the imperial examinations and become officials. They built cities and palaces in Chinese style, and their 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 about China has penetrated into every corner of the lives of North and South Koreans.

However, after the Sino-Japanese War, China's national power declined to its lowest point, and China's centripetal force towards North and South Korea weakened. Coupled with the rise of narrow nationalist and populist sentiments in North and South Korea after World War II, North and South Korea began to de-Sinicize. One of the measures That is to completely abandon the Chinese language and completely adopt the current Korean language.

But Chinese characters have been deeply engraved in Korean history and culture, and they are always lingering. The couplets and plaques in their academies and temples are all in Chinese characters, and the historical records are also in Chinese characters. Even the stone slabs at the feet of the ministers of the Wangting Courtyard are engraved with the Chinese characters for official rank such as Zhengyipin. In the museum, all those who are more than a hundred years old are in Chinese characters. The characters on the cultural relics are also in Chinese characters. It is easy to remove the Chinese characters from newspapers and books, but removing the Chinese characters from these cultural relics is equivalent to erasing Korean history.

When Fan Wubing was in Seoul, he occasionally saw young people worshiping their ancestors during the Spring Festival. They used printed Chinese characters to worship their ancestors. So Fan Wubing asked the young man if he understood what it meant. The young man shook his head and said he didn't know.

So Fan Wubing asked why he used Chinese if he didn't understand? The young man smiled but did not answer.

Later, Fan Wubing smiled and said to the entourage that this young man was a filial junior. If they used Korean to worship their ancestors, how could they recognize their ancestors who used Chinese characters? At that time, everyone laughed and said that it was indeed the case.

In other aspects, the influence of Chinese culture in South Korea can also be seen everywhere. For example, they eat with chopsticks, eat rice cakes and buns and noodles during the Spring Festival, and drink traditional Chinese medicine tonic wine during the Dragon Boat Festival. Some words in Korean are directly taken from Chinese characters, and names and place names are taken from Chinese characters. Even their national flag is taken from the Chinese Yin and Yang Bagua, but they did not learn them all and only used the four hexagrams.

Chinese culture, philosophy, values ​​and ways of thinking have penetrated deeply into the bones of Koreans. It is almost impossible to de-Sinicize. If we want to forcibly remove it, South Korea will not be a country.

In order to de-Chinese, Koreans always try to find some Korean characteristics in small things. For example, Korean chopsticks are not square in cross-section, but flat, and are mostly made of stainless steel. They are different from Chinese square embroidered chopsticks. But I don’t know what they used to eat before stainless steel was first invented?

Also, Koreans say they drink soup with a spoon, while Chinese people drink it directly from a bowl. In fact, Koreans probably don’t know what the porcelain spoons used by the Chinese for hundreds or even thousands of years are used for. Korean pagodas are stone pagodas, different from Chinese brick pagodas or Japanese wooden pagodas. But they don’t know that China is so big that there are stone towers, brick towers, wooden towers, earth towers, glazed towers and even metal towers such as iron and copper depending on local conditions.

Korean culture does have its own uniqueness, but it seems hard to convince people to pick these trivial things to highlight the uniqueness of its culture. On a larger scale, everything in Korea is closely related to Chinese culture.

South Korea's economic success in recent decades has made South Korea strive to find its place in Northeast Asia and even the world. As China becomes increasingly powerful, coupled with historical and geographical reasons, South Korea cannot escape the influence of China and Chinese culture. This is a reality that Koreans with ultra-nationalist ideas cannot accept but have to accept. This is also an embarrassment for Koreans today.

De-Sinicization was unsuccessful, so Koreans had to accept the reality of Chinese culture, which was very cruel to ultra-nationalists. So the Koreans simply took things to the extreme and said that Chinese culture belongs to them. This is why the Dragon Boat Festival, Confucius, Chinese medicine and Chinese inventions are all included in Korea, and even the entire north of the Yangtze River in China is included in their territory.

However, Fan Wubing believes that this kind of thinking of a weak country is really undesirable. It is not terrible to compete with the Chinese for culture, which shows their identification with Chinese culture. However, if nationalism and island mentality continue to expand, they will try to change the content in books. If the territory becomes a reality, it will be very dangerous.

Or maybe the Japanese thought the same way back then. From admiring China's culture to craving China's resources, they finally brought people in.

Fan Wubing felt that now the responsibility to beat the Koreans and make them more honest fell on his shoulders. As long as this little dragon, one of the four Asian little dragons, was starved into a loach, what would happen to them? , and couldn’t jump up.

Of course, the best way to limit their development is to take the lead in monopolizing the domestic market they may enter. Regarding this, Fan Wubing is quite confident today.
