Koreans have always thought that they are the center of the universe, sparing no effort to steal the history and culture of other countries, and through the map to open up the frontier, and constantly rely on imagination to prove the long history of their own country and the greatness of their own country. This sense of national pride actually stems from a sense of inferiority, and from a historical point of view, Korea has been a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times, and once became part of the territory of the Central Plains during the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty.
Narrow-minded Koreans have always been reluctant to acknowledge this history, and even wantonly attacked the Tang Dynasty through a large number of divine dramas. In addition to these literary and artistic residences, South Korea began to carry out so-called archaeological excavations from its own not vast land, as well as archaeological "creation", and what embarrassed them was that with a large number of archaeological discoveries, little by little, the illusions of Koreans were broken. In particular, the excavation of a stone stele broke the independent status that Korea had been promoting, and they had to admit that they were vassals of the Qing Dynasty.
This stone stele is called the "Monument of Merit of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty", which makes the Koreans always reluctant to admit the truth, and South Korea desperately whitewashes its own history of longevity, greatness and strength, but in the end it is inevitable to be a vassal. How does this not stigmatize South Korea.
What is even more unacceptable to South Korea is the fact that South Korea (then called Korea, including the entire Korean Peninsula now) has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, which gave Korea enough protection, and during the Wanli Period, sent troops to protect Korea from being called a colony of Japan.
Historically, North Korea was grateful to The Ming Dynasty for its actions, and in modern times, the South Korean government has vigorously avoided such facts, praising its famous general Lee Shun-chan, while ignoring the merits of Deng Zilong, Chen Lin, Ma Gui, Lee Rusong and others, and even scandalizing in some movies. The Ming Dynasty was replaced by the Qing Dynasty, and Korea began to think of itself as the orthodox zhongyuan dynasty, still using the era name of Chongzhen, so that in modern times, Korea and Japan are encroaching on China's history and culture, concocting the absurd thesis that the Ming Dynasty was in Korea and the Tang Dynasty was in Japan.
This is a kind of word game taken out of context, and in addition to satisfying the Korean government's dangerous national self-confidence, it also embodies a deeper meaning, that is, through this game, it cannibalizes China's history and culture. To reflect the historical status of Korea.
The clown is a clown after all, when they appear in powder, it is funny enough, and when they step down, they will feel their mediocrity, and the appearance of this stone monument also stems from this.
When the Ming Dynasty fell, if Korea could maintain its independent status, what kind of result it would be depends on a remark, that is, what the Japanese said at that time, they once said that after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Chinese civilization was broken. China is dead. This kind of remark is very frightening, and what is even more terrible is that many people in China are also shouting for such remarks in order to negate the historical civilization of more than seven hundred years after the Yuan Dynasty.
There is also a sentence that says that after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, there was no longer a Middle Ages, and this statement was also put forward by the Japanese, and if this statement is true, it means that Japan has never invaded China. Such shameless and terrible remarks actually made waves in the hearts of Koreans.
If there is no stone stele, there is no large amount of historical evidence to prove that Korea is still a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, then the current South Korea, more confident, they will feel that they can inherit the Chinese civilization, and under the powerful offensive of the Manchu Qing, maintain independence, these are not possible for China, so it is more in line with the aesthetics and values of the Korean government.
Although absurd remarks will not affect the actual situation, the less disgusting things happen, the better. Especially for China's historical civilization, if we are all skeptical, we will surely be coveted by countries like Korea and Japan for the culture created by our ancestors.
Therefore, the appearance of the stone stele has given South Korea a resounding slap and proved a common saying, if it is not yours, don't think about taking it, history is fair, not to be whitewashed and provoked.
