[Historical drama: Confucius's life experience is amazing! Netizens collectively cover their faces]
Hello everyone, welcome to the feast of history, I am your gossip editor. Today I'm going to unveil a piece of history for you, and this revelation is far crazier than you think! Don't say I didn't warn you, this is an earthquake-level historical shock.
Background: I believe everyone is familiar with Confucius, who is known as the "Confucian Sage" of ancient times and a great educator. Recently, however, Korean scholars have been arguing that Confucius was actually Korean! You heard it right, he was Korean!
♂️ ️ Evidence exposed: The South Korean scholar Jung Jae-shu came up with three "ironclad evidences" to support his claim. First of all, he dug up the mysterious records in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", saying that Emperor Yan, Emperor Huangdi, and Chiyou are all from the ancient Korean myth and legend "The Relics of the Three Kingdoms". He also unearthed artifacts from ancient tombs in Goguryeo, claiming that this proved that northeastern China was once classified as "ancient Korea." Seeing this, netizens exclaimed, "What kind of operation is this?"
♀️ The kinship can't be bypassed: Not only that, Zheng Zaishu actually linked Confucius with the Korean Jizi and the Song State's Weizi Qi. He said that Jizi and Wei Ziqi were relatives, and Confucius was a descendant of the nobles of the Song Dynasty, so Confucius was Korean! This reason sounds far-fetched, but Professor Zheng's ability to "climb relationships" is really good, and he actually understands this complicated blood relationship.
️ Public opinion boiling: After this explosive news came out, Chinese netizens were filled with righteous indignation. Because "descendants of Yanhuang" has always been the self-proclaimed title of Chinese, when they heard that someone wanted to "snatch Confucius" away, netizens were furious, believing that this was an act of disrespect to Chinese culture.
Our response: However, China's response was short and clear, with only two words: "ridiculous"! We don't seem to care much about this debate. After all, Confucius, as a representative of morality, has long been integrated into the bloodline of Chinese culture, how can it be a product of other countries?
Historical controversy: This is not the first cultural identity controversy in history, there was a debate between hanbok and hanfu earlier, and Koreans said that Chinese hanfu imitated hanbok, which is really laughable. In the long course of history, cultural exchange is the norm, so why be so arbitrary?
Conclusion: Although this historical drama seems bizarre, it has triggered profound thinking. In times of controversy, we should be in awe of history and respect the uniqueness of each culture. Confucius is undoubtedly an outstanding representative of Chinese culture, and his ideas are the treasures of Chinese civilization, allowing us to stay awake on this stage of history and jointly explore the truth, instead of indulging in imaginary disputes.
Although this gossip is confusing, it strengthens our confidence in our own culture. History moves forward like a tide, let us keep thinking deeply in the tide, this is the true attitude towards history. This gossip may be just a small episode in the long history, but it makes us more aware of how important cultural inheritance is. [To be continued]
