Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture was established on September 3, 1952 (originally an autonomous region, withdrawn from the district in 1955 to establish a prefecture), and September 3 is the 70th anniversary of the establishment of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, with wonderful celebrations such as ceremonies, float parades, and wrestling competitions. The imposing long encouragement, the beautiful and beautiful "Arirang", the Koreans who can sing and dance, dance, sing their own happy life, their own special festivals.
Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture is an autonomous prefecture under the jurisdiction of Jilin Province, located at the junction of China, Russia and the DPRK, bordering the Primorsky Territory of Russia to the east, and the Tumen River to the south and north Hamgyong Province and Liangjiang Province of North Korea. Yanbian is China's only Korean autonomous prefecture and the largest korean-populated area, with a total registered population of 2.0294 million at the end of 2021. The Korean population is 722,400, accounting for 35.60% of the total population.

So what are the origins of the Koreans in Yanbian and the Korean and Korean ethnic groups on the Korean Peninsula?
Due to the implementation of the ethnic hierarchy and segregation system after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was strictly forbidden for outsiders to enter the "land of Longxing" in the northeast to reclaim the customs - a ban was issued. The Manchus poured into the pass and the population of the Kanto region declined dramatically, so that the northeast region retained a large amount of untapped land and natural resources, providing favorable natural conditions for the population to move in. As early as the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, some of the ancestors of the Korean ethnic group had settled in the north and northeast of the mainland. Beginning in the mid-19th century, when the qing dynasty's national strength was weakening and there was no time to control it, more Koreans were affected by social unrest and natural disasters and moved from the Korean Peninsula one after another, which was the main source of Koreans in China.
The ancestors of the Korean nation left their homeland, crossed the Yalu River and the Tumen River to China, reclaimed land along the two rivers, lived with the Han, Manchu and other peoples, and gradually integrated into a nationality on the mainland. In the turbulent years, the Koreans, together with other ethnic groups, fought against the Japanese and defended the country, and made outstanding contributions. Therefore, the Koreans in Yanbian, like other Koreans on the mainland, are one of the mainland cross-border ethnic groups gradually formed by the successive migration and settlement of the neighboring Korean Peninsula in the northeast region.
The Chinese Koreans and the Koreans on the Korean Peninsula share the same roots and belong to the same lineage. But because of the different countries in which they belong, some politicians often mislead the masses and cause cultural controversy. Especially the South Korean government and netizens. I still remember the moving picture of 56 ethnic children passing the national flag at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics at the beginning of the year, and one of the little girls dressed in Korean costumes caused controversy in South Korea.

The world is constantly evolving, and human exchanges and mutual learning and cultural integration are also developing. Cultural diversity should be respected and tolerated, and culture should not become a tool in the hands of politicians or a focal point that leads to a clash of mass consciousnesses. I hope that the exchange of culture will truly achieve: the beauty of each other, the beauty of beauty, the beauty of the United States, and the unity of the world.
