The picture below is a latest report by the famous South Korean media "Yonhap News Agency".
It is this report that has aroused the vigilance of domestic netizens: the use of Hallyu stars to help cultural plagiarism has become a new operation method on the Korean side.
Let's take a look at the ins and outs of things.
1. Members of Korea's hottest boy group participated in the protection and publicity of overseas Korean cultural relics, and donated 100 million yuan for two consecutive days
The title of the report is "Korean Official Commends BTS RM for Protecting and Promoting Korean Cultural Relics Overseas":
The content itself is simple: BTS member RM has donated 100 million yuan for two consecutive years to protect overseas Korean cultural relics and promote Korean history and culture.
Who is RM?
It is the BTS member Kim Nam-joon who was voted "the most handsome man in the world".
For two consecutive years, he donated to a Korean foundation to protect Korean artifacts overseas and used his huge international following to promote Korean history and culture around the world.
The Korean Ministry of Culture presented the Kim star with a plaque of appreciation for his contribution to the promotion of Korean cultural heritage in the international community.
Second, there is a dispute over the origin of the Korean broadcoat promoted by the star surnamed Jin: it itself originated from Ming dynasty clothing
So, what are the overseas Korean artifacts promoted by this star surnamed Kim?
It is also mentioned in the Yonhap News Agency report, that is, the North Korean broadcoat, which has always had a controversy over its origins.
What is a Korean coat?
The Korean broadcoat, also known as the "coin garment", was the official uniform of the Goryeo Dynasty and the Joseon Dynasty.
Originally dressed by the upper-class women of ancient Korea, by the end of the 19th century, this costume began to be popularized among the people and became a very unique costume in Korea.
The Korean broadcoat is characterized by a collarless, wide placket, placket, etc., and wide sleeves.
The front two shirts, the back one, and the back is decorated with the words "the union of two surnames", "the source of prosperity", "life is like a mountain, blessing is like the sea" and so on.
The fabric is mostly made of jujube red satin, pattern satin, satin, etc., with yellow, red and blue colored satin in the middle of the sleeve, and a white undershirt with the "Ten Immortals" pattern on the cuffs.
"Ten Immortal Life" in Korean culture represents longevity, luck and wealth, and contains cultural meanings of wealth and auspiciousness.
But there has always been controversy over the origin of the Korean broadcoat.
Koreans insist that broadcoat is a traditional dress developed independently from ancient Korea, and is a symbol and symbol of the brilliant history and culture of 5,000 years of Korea.
However, East Asian historians generally believe that Korean broadcoat actually originated in the Ming Dynasty Hanfu and was part of the Hanfu system.
Third, the predecessor of the Korean broadcoat is the Hanfu long pants, which are derived from the clothing of the Ming Dynasty
Judging from the current historical data, the predecessor of the Korean broadcoat is the "long pants" in the Chinese clothing culture.
Changzi, also known as back, guizi, and embroidery, is divided into male and female styles and is a form of Hanfu system.
The pants are straight at the placket, and the sides are not stitched from the armpits, and they are mostly worn over other clothes
This Chinese costume first appeared in the Sui Dynasty, became popular in the Song Dynasty, and flourished in the Ming Dynasty.
In the Song Dynasty, the pants were called "broad clothes".
This is recorded in Song Dynasty poetry: in the Song Dynasty Fang Hui's "Two Songs of Tufeng in Changhua County", there was once a verse of "a man in broad clothes with a lotus salary".
In the Ming Dynasty, the pants style was dominated by straight collared placket, and the front placket did not need buttons.
At this time, the form of clothing began to be introduced into the Korean Peninsula and became the official uniform of ancient Korea, known as the "Korean broadcoat".
Fourth, using the international influence of Hallyu stars to participate in cultural plagiarism has become a new method for South Korea
But in South Korea, like other hanboks, it is insisted that Korean broadcoats have little to do with Chinese clothing, and are entirely developed in the 5,000-year-old history of Korea.
This time, the South Korean cultural department publicly commended BTS Kim surnamed stars for their propaganda of North Korea's broad-coat culture, which actually represents South Korea's new operation methods in cultural plagiarism.
That is to use the huge international influence of Hallyu stars to start shouting for plagiarizing Chinese culture:
Let more foreigners think that these things such as Korean broadcoats have nothing to do with Chinese culture and are completely South Korea's own cultural products.
The matter of the Kim surnamed star and the North Korean broad-coat is not an isolated case.
Earlier, another star surnamed Tian of BTS sang at the opening ceremony of the World Cup, and Chinese fans actually appeared to raise funds and broadcast advertisements on TV to help promote the controversial Hanbok culture.
This kind of behavior of forgetting one's ancestors has stunned many Singaporeans.
Netizens commented: "Don't underestimate the operation methods of Koreans playing the Hallyu star card, don't say fans in other countries, even our Chinese fans may be deceived by their propaganda." ”
"Now that the Korean Wave is back in China, there will definitely be more and more cultural plagiarism operations by Koreans using the Korean Wave."
"This time it's a wide coat, and the next time I don't know what Chinese culture has been plagiarized."
"Our people need to be vigilant, the Korean Wave will become a weapon for cultural plagiarism in the hands of Koreans in the future."
