Introduction: Chinese civilization spanned thousands of years, in the land of China continues to nourish and grow, in the vast sea of Chinese civilization, there have been many famous thinkers, they have also had a profound impact on future civilization. Among them, the most well-known to the people is Confucius, whose Confucian doctrine has been passed down for thousands of years, and the Analects are even more famous all over the world.
Confucius was a Chinese, which is also a fact that even a three-year-old child knows, but the South Korea next door is unashamed and sworn to claim that Confucius is Korean, and in order to prove this absurd idea, they can even find three "ironclad evidence". In the face of such a habitual theft in South Korea, Chinese netizens only replied with two words, absurd!
I. Three "Ironclad Evidences" Cited by South Korea
The first ironclad evidence in their view is "Danjun", who is a mythical figure in Korea, and it is said that he was the earliest ruler of Korea, with outstanding talents in all aspects, not only to prosper the country's governance, but also like to open up territory, and even conquered the land of China. The date of Confucius's birth coincided with the time of their rule over China in this myth, so they believed that Confucius was Korean.
Taking the mythical stories of the universe as a basis for supporting evidence is really thanks to what they wanted to come up with. In history, Korea has never conquered the Central Plains, but has always been a Chinese vassal state, and it is estimated that no one can do it except Korea.
The second "ironclad evidence" is even more absurd, because they believe that they also have a ceremony to pay tribute to Confucius, and it is solemn and serious. There are hundreds of worshippers of Confucius in China every year, and it has evolved into a custom over the years.
Korea, which has always been a vassal state of China, was deeply influenced by Chinese culture and was also very respectful of Confucian culture, so it learned the chinese way and began to have the work of sacrifice, and slowly formed a tradition of sacrifice. The sacrifices that the masters learned were actually changed hands as their own achievements, and this face was really thick and boundless, but if there was no such thick skin, they would not have been able to mention such an idea.
The third "ironclad evidence" is that The Koreans claim that Confucius was born in Korea, and their basis is that it was the first monarch of Korea, Miko. According to the history of Korea, Korea was first founded by the uncle of the King of Shang, Jizi, but the King of Shang was absurd, resulting in the people's unhappiness, and King Wu of Zhou led an uprising to overthrow the King of Shang, but Ji Zinian was in the uncle and nephew, unwilling to carry the Shang Dynasty and submit to the feet of Great Zhou.
Moreover, he also knew that he could not aspire in the Central Plains, so he took his close subordinates and flew away to the Korean Peninsula and created a civilization here, if there was no arrival of Miko, then the Korean Peninsula would still be desolate.
But what does this have to do with Confucius? Because the fiefdom of Mizi at that time was in today's Shandong region, and as we all know, Confucius was a Shandong native, many Koreans began to associate boundlessly, thinking that Confucius wanted to count as Mizi's subjects, which was naturally Korean.
But in fact, the Korean Peninsula was previously a vassal state of China, not to mention that when Confucius was born, the Joseon Dynasty had already changed many times, and there could be no relationship between the two.
Second, South Korea's "stealing" culture
South Korea, historically a vassal state of China, relied on the Central Plains to be preserved, but several changes in modern times have allowed Korea to rise enough in economic development. This also changed their mood.
The "Korean Wave" brought out by the Korean entertainment industry was also unique for a time, even now, it is also his influence, but with the depression of the Korean economy, such self-confidence has gradually become an inferiority complex.
In recent years, South Korea, which has a superficial cultural heritage, has begun to "steal" culture more and more shamelessly, not only saying that Confucius is theirs, the Dragon Boat Festival is theirs, even Chinese medicine, Chinese knot, and Hanfu are theirs, and it feels that the origin of the entire universe must start from Korea.
However, such theft is not a shame for Koreans, but on the contrary, they think it should be taken for granted, and they are even more tireless on the way to apply for heritage. In the face of such brazen behavior, the application organization can only sacrifice the killer skill, and then use the culture of other countries as the application project to cancel the qualification for the application. Who loves to take the culture of other people's homes to apply for heritage, everyone is self-evident.
Conclusion: Culture is the foundation of a country's civilization, but South Korea, the country, takes the story as a fact, relies on fantasy to establish cultural self-confidence, and does not dare to tell history, can only sneak to encroach on other people's culture, perhaps in their minds, this culture they have used for a long time is theirs.
As the inheritor of Chinese culture, what we have to do is to continuously carry forward our culture, enhance our own cultural self-confidence, and let Chinese civilization shine on the international stage again.
