In the past, the sea of nets that was calm and calm suddenly made waves, all because of a trivial incident - the name of kimchi, which caused Korean netizens to be angry and protested, pointing out that the translation of "spicy cabbage" is a desecration of its culture.
I am a text of the old man, after the wind and frost, the pen has not stopped, now I want to use the ancient rhyme of the pen, to describe this modern turmoil, so that you can learn together.
On that day, an artist on Netflix (pseudonym) was on the screen, laughing and talking about trivial things in life, and suddenly said, "Have you ever pickled spicy cabbage?" blurted out, it was an ordinary word, but it was like a boulder thrown into a lake, stirring up a thousand waves.
When Korean netizens heard it, it was like a cat that had been stepped on its tail, and it exploded in an instant, and they flocked to the Internet one after another, and the voices of condemnation were endless.
"Kimchi, the essence of our culture, how can you talk about spicy cabbage?" As soon as these words came out, the crowd was passionate, as if the taste of kimchi had turned into the soul of the nation, and it should not be tarnished in the slightest.
Not to be outdone, the South Korean government has spoken out in support of the people, saying that kimchi is unique and unparalleled in the world, how can other countries be allowed to confuse the public? There are also experts and scholars, together with netizens, to the book Netflix, every word, is a voice of protest, denouncing the translation of "spicy cabbage", which is insulting to the quintessence of the country.
But why did this come to this? On closer examination, it is actually a cultural difference and a collision of cognitions. Kimchi is not only a delicacy on the table, but also a cultural symbol that carries national memories and emotions.
In the barren land of South Korea, cabbage is comparable to a delicacy, and pickled kimchi is a must-have for every household, and its importance can be seen. Therefore, Koreans cherish the name of kimchi and cannot be taken lightly.
In China, kimchi is also a long-standing delicacy, especially Sichuan pickles. There are many kinds of pickled vegetables in Sichuan, radish and cabbage can be put into the altar, and the flavors are different, all of which are collectively referred to as "kimchi".
The "spicy cabbage" mentioned by Netflix is actually derived from the flavor of China's Yanbian region, and although it has similarities with Korean kimchi, it also has its own uniqueness. Yes, Netflix's words were originally an unintentional mistake, but they touched the sensitive nerves of Korean netizens.
The turmoil here is actually caused by cultural barriers. The people of the two countries, each holding their own word and respecting their own culture, will inevitably lead to misunderstandings and conflicts. However, cultural exchanges should be a process of mutual respect and mutual learning.
If there is a difference in the word, it is easy to make accusations, and even elevate it to the national level, which will inevitably be undignified and even more detrimental to the friendly exchanges between the two peoples.
In addition, the fact that the raw materials of Korean kimchi rely on imports from China can not be ignored? It is reported that ninety percent of the cabbage used in South Korea comes from China, which shows the close economic ties between the two countries.
If the economic and trade cooperation between the two countries is affected because of a trivial matter, the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, I think that Korean netizens should look at this matter rationally, and don't let a momentary anger blind them and miss a major event.
As for Netflix, it should also take this as a warning and be more cautious in future conversations to avoid causing trouble again. However, its unintentional mistake is not a big evil, and Korean netizens may wish to be magnanimous and laugh it off. After all, cultural exchanges are about tolerance and understanding, not about the gains and losses of a word.
Netizens commented that there were also a variety of comments, saying: "The name of kimchi is a general term for food, why should it be so serious?" also said: "This move by Korean netizens is really a big fuss and a loss of grace." He even said: "The cultures of the two countries have their own merits, and they should learn from each other and make progress together." I think this is true.
The ancients said: "The sea is tolerant of all rivers, and tolerance is great." "The same is true of the sea of culture. Only tolerance and understanding can converge into a sea and be magnificent. I hope that the people of the two countries can put aside their past grievances, embrace cultural exchanges with a more open mind, and write a new chapter of friendship together.
At this point, the turmoil gradually subsided, and then the aftermath lingered, which made people think deeply. Cultural exchange is not a day's work, nor is it within the reach of one person. I hope that all of us can learn from this, cherish the diversity of culture, and promote the prosperity and development of culture. In this way, the sea of culture will be wider and deeper. #头条创作挑战赛#
