In 2005, South Korea successfully applied for the "Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival" as an intangible cultural heritage, and it directly exploded at that time.
The Dragon Boat Festival is a cultural tradition of our Country for thousands of years, in order to commemorate the martyr Qu Yuan, derived from the Dragon Boat Festival, such as eating rice dumplings, racing dragon boats and so on.
In the text of South Korea's declaration of the "Dragon Boat Festival", it is said that "the Dragon Boat Festival was originally a Chinese festival and has been transmitted to South Korea for more than 1500 years", but in South Korea, a set of folk activities that are not related to China and are different has been formed, so it applied for heritage.
In fact, looking at South Korea's successful application for heritage, too many of them originated from China...
For example, the Jongmyo temple ceremony existed in the Zhou Dynasty on the mainland, and they have continued to this day after they were introduced to Korea.
For example, Korean kimchi, the word "菹" appeared in the mainland "Book of Poetry", its meaning is sauerkraut, and later pickled sauerkraut was introduced to Korea.
For example, Tug of War, which was also born in China, was successfully applied by them.
These Dragon Boat Festivals, wrestling, lantern festivals, dances, songs, etc., are either imported from other countries or widely exist in neighboring countries, but they are all applied as the culture of their own countries and have become original.
Intangible cultural heritage is a cultural inheritance and customs, the scope of definition is not clear, in fact, from the world heritage aspect of a comparison, the gap between China and South Korea is directly exposed, who has the style of a big country, who has a longer history, at a glance.
World heritage includes natural heritage, cultural heritage, and self-represented dual heritage.
In terms of quantity, there are 56 World Heritage Sites in China so far, ranking first in the world and one of the countries with the most complete categories of World Heritage sites in the world.
South Korea is 15, Japan is 24, and the number of Korean heritage sites is tied for 23rd in the world. It looks like a lot of it, but compared with China, it is not on the same order of magnitude at all.
In terms of distribution, South Korea is more concentrated, basically in Seoul, Gyeongsangbuk-do and Gyeongsangnam-do, of which there are 4 World Heritage Sites in Seoul alone.
Looking at the mainland, there are more numerous and more widely distributed, and there are 34 provinces and autonomous regions in China (23 provinces, 4 municipalities directly under the central government, 2 special administrative regions, and 5 autonomous regions), only 4 regions have no World Heritage Sites, and Beijing has 7!
For example, Hebei has Chengde Mountain Resort, Shandong Taishan, Shanxi Pingyao Ancient City, Sichuan Dujiangyan, Henan Luoyang Longmen Grottoes, Hangzhou West Lake Culture, Guizhou Fanjing Mountain... Almost every province has its own heritage, and I am afraid that only China can do it in this world.
In terms of origin, there are a total of 14 places in South Korea, including the Cave Temple and The Bulguksa Temple, the Haeinsa 80,000 Great Tibetan Scriptures Collection Office, the Seoul Jongmyo Temple in South Korea, the Changdeokgung Palace Complex, the Hwasong Castle Gyeongju Historical District Gochang, the Prehistoric Tomb Ruins of Huasen and Ganghwa, the Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Cave, the Korean Tombs, the Korean Historical Villages, the NamhansanSeong, the Baekje Ruins Area, the Mountain Temple - Korean Buddhist Famous Mountain Temple, the Korean Neo-Confucian Academy, and the Korean Beach.
Many of these buildings can see traces of Chinese culture, take the Neo-Confucian Academy, which is the evolution of Mainland Confucian culture in other countries, and Confucianism originated in China, which is well known.
Finally, let's take a closer look at what a Chinese world heritage contains and what the charm is.
Recently, I just chased zhejiang satellite TV's new variety show "Ten Thousand Miles To Walk 2", the program is sponsored by the drunkard, and the activities of rich drunkards and guardians of the world heritage are held to make the world heritage alive and full of vitality.
Each issue introduces a famous World Heritage site, which is currently broadcast for 5 episodes, and has gone to Luoyang, Jingdezhen, Quanzhou, Chongqing Dazu Stone Carvings, and Yin Ruins Tomb in Anyang.
I was most impressed by the first phase of Luoyang, you can believe, Luoyang is the only "double application" city in the country, as of now, Luoyang has 3 World Heritage Sites, namely Longmen Grottoes, Grand Canal, Silk Road.
Luoyang is the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, which has been the political, economic and cultural center of the mainland for more than 1500 years, and the intersection of the Silk Road and the Sui and Tang Grand Canals, and a city like Luoyang is unique in the world.
In 2014, China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan successfully applied for the "Silk Road: Road Network of the Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor", and in the program, Zhou Yun, Niu Junfeng and other guests personally visited the relics of the Silk Road in Luoyang.
The ruins of Luoyang City in Han and Wei remained unchanged, retaining the original and most authentic appearance, while the ruins of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties were restored one-to-one, restoring the grand appearance of Luoyang City at that time, which was very grand.
In the royal garden Jiuzhou Pond, the guests also tasted Tang Dynasty pastries together, such as the intangible Tang Dynasty of Shendu, which looked like a flower, which was very exquisite.
After eating pastries, seeing the ruins of the five capitals, and finally coming to a costume show in Luoyang, showing everyone the most typical costumes of the five dynasties in the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, truly restoring the beauty of oriental women, our ancient beauty is not squinting, this is the real classical beauty.
During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, straight-sleeved robes were popular, with mouths like cherries and relatively modest clothing.
The Han Dynasty was more dignified and atmospheric, with high hair coiled and matched with some jewelry.
The Southern and Northern Dynasties add more femininity, and the wide-sleeved skirt looks more grounded and lively than before.
The men's clothes worn by Niu Junfeng are also very good-looking.
In the early Tang Dynasty, Wuzhou costumes and hairstyles were more diversified, the neckline was opened wider, and the thinking was more open.
In the Tang Dynasty, the costumes were more gorgeous, and the neckline would be lower.
The men's clothing Worn by Xiao Yang was a round-necked robe, which looked more casual than before, and the color was bright.
A Luoyang city contains so much history and culture, and the treasures left to us by the ancestors of the older generation are really too much.
Rich drunkard, guardian of the world heritage, the leader of cultural liquor, hope to protect the world heritage, so that they can really "live" up, so that more young people love more.
Now that South Korea is scrambling to apply for the heritage, we should also pay attention to cultural issues so that young people can also fall in love with these long-standing cultures.
Create variety shows such as "National Treasure" and "Ten Thousand Miles to Ride Alone", produce cultural and creative products like the Forbidden City, produce joint wines like alcoholic liquor, and also do animation and songs, so that the world heritage is more grounded.
Nowadays, the continental world heritage is world-class in terms of quantity and quality, but we must not be complacent, and it is still a very important thing to make the world heritage full of vitality and sustainable development.
Finally, let's have an interaction, which of the 56 world sites in our country have you been to? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.
