As we all know, Chinese characters have always been the treasure of Chinese civilization, but South Korea claims that Chinese characters originated in South Korea, which makes many Chinese netizens unable to sit still, and they have begun to refute Korean netizens, which shows that Chinese characters have a high weight in the hearts of Korean people.
Therefore, a foreign netizen asked a question, he said on the American version of Zhihu Quora: "When, how, and why did Chinese characters decline in Korea? What are the consequences of this?" There is a large amount of evidence that Chinese characters originated in China, and South Korea only borrowed Korean Chinese characters.
And South Korea's plagiarism of Chinese culture is not only this time, once China's Dragon Boat Festival was stolen by South Korea, they renamed the Dragon Boat Festival "Dragon Boat Festival", and then took this festival to the World Heritage List, this shameless behavior was protested by China.
In addition, they also tried to take China's Chinese knot to the World Heritage Site, but in the end they did not succeed, and when it comes to the origin of Korea's Chinese characters, this goes back to the historical period, when Korea was still a vassal state of China.
In order to learn the excellent technology of advanced countries, Korea sent many scholars to China, and these scholars learned many skills in China, including Chinese characters, and after they brought Chinese characters back to Korea, Chinese characters began to spread in Korea.
As more and more Koreans began to learn Chinese characters, Chinese characters became almost the official language of South Korea, but in the last century, South Korea suddenly demanded the abolition of Chinese characters.
In the face of questions from foreign netizens, many people also commented below, and a foreign netizen commented that Chinese characters were not invented in Korea, it originated in China, and as for why Chinese characters declined in South Korea, because Chinese characters have never been popularized in South Korea.
It sounds ridiculous, but the fact is that after Korean scholars brought back the technology of Chinese characters, only the royal family and those from wealthy families were qualified to learn Chinese characters, and ordinary people had no access to Chinese characters at all.
In fact, the idea that the Korean general public or the general public widely used Chinese characters as their main form of writing was never correct, so Chinese characters were abolished in South Korea and they invented another language.
Later, another Singaporean netizen commented that as early as 57 BC, Chinese characters began to be used by Koreans, and history has also recorded how Koreans learned Chinese characters, and many ancient Korean books were written by Chinese characters.
However, there are now more Koreans who are reluctant to admit it, and they simply do not want to believe that the common language of Korea was Chinese, because grammatically, Chinese characters are indeed better than Korean, but hard-mouthed Koreans just don't want to admit it.
Immediately after that, netizens from Vietnam said that China, as the birthplace of Chinese character culture, many Asian countries have been influenced by Chinese culture, and Chinese characters are one of them.
In addition to Vietnam, countries such as South Korea and Japan have learned Chinese character technology, but only Japan still uses Chinese characters, while Vietnam rarely uses Chinese characters, and South Korea has completely abolished Chinese characters.
In the last century, South Korea imposed a ban on learning Chinese characters in order to strengthen its own culture, and then South Korea invented the Korean language to replace Chinese characters.
I thought that this action to abolish Chinese characters would be very successful, but I didn't expect that many South Korean people have long been accustomed to Chinese characters, and until today, South Korea has not been able to completely abolish them, and South Korea cannot do without Chinese characters.
Later, another foreign netizen commented that when Chinese characters entered South Korea, it was sought after by the Korean royal family and nobles, because this Chinese character language was too convenient for South Korea, and with the arrival of Chinese characters, Korean was disliked.
At that time, Hangeul was opposed by many people, who believed that the use of Hangeul was a betrayal of China, and Korea was still a vassal state of China during the Ming Dynasty, and many Koreans were supporters of China, which is why they loved Chinese characters so much.
In their eyes, the adoption of Hangeul would have become very barbaric and uncivilized, and during the period when Hangeul was prevalent, Hangeul almost disappeared from history, which shows how high the status of Hangul was in ancient Korea, and many people were proud to learn Hanji.
Immediately after that, another foreign netizen commented that the importance of Chinese characters is relatively declining for South Korea nowadays, because many people only know Hangul and they have not learned Chinese characters, but it is undeniable that Chinese characters are still an important relic of Korean knowledge and culture.
Hangeul itself is a phonetic script, and the abolition of Chinese characters has caused a rupture in Korean culture, resulting in many young people being unable to understand the history and culture of their own country, and there is a cultural disconnection.
This has led many people of insight in South Korea to believe that Chinese character education should be resumed, after all, the influence of Chinese characters on South Korea is too great.
The abolition of Chinese characters, nominally to promote one's own cultural independence, is actually to sever the historical connection with Chinese civilization, in order to facilitate the creation of an independent national civilization system, that is, the establishment of an independent national mentality.
