According to Japan's "Mainichi Shimbun" report, on October 20, local time, the Japanese Chess Academy revised the relevant regulations to position Go as a "national skill", and the reason given was: "For many years, Go has been deeply loved in Japan."
During the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, the Japanese Chess Academy also plans to promote this "traditional culture" to the world.
Japanese media reports say: Go was born in China and spread to Japan more than 1,400 years ago... At present, not only sumo wrestling is a National Skill of Japan, but the Japan Professional Baseball Association has also positioned baseball as an "immortal national skill".
Yujiro Hashimoto, a supervisor of the Japan Chess Academy, said, "I hope that the signboard of national skills will allow more people to understand Go."
However, for the invention of Go in China, which has now been declared by the Japanese to be "positioned as a national skill", many Chinese netizens are opposed, for example, this netizen said:
"Chinese is particularly strict with Koreans. Chinese are particularly tolerant of the Japanese. For example, this kind of thing, assuming that South Korea will be scolded to the hot search, is That Japan will be praised and carried forward very well."
"Kanji is made in Japan, Genghis Khan is Japanese. In a situation like this, the Japanese regard Chinese culture as their own case far more than South Korea, Chinese dare to say half a sentence? ”
He Xiaolong, a well-known sports journalist, replied to this netizen: "This is because, in the sports world, the Japanese are more disciplined than the Koreans, and the go sport was indeed carried forward by the Japanese at the earliest, and Chinese Go has changed from weak to strong, and it is the most helped by the Japanese Go community, which is also a recognized fact in the circle."
In fact, we must first clarify what "positioning as a national technology" means?
National technology should roughly mean that "people in a country are very good at, very loved, very popular, very historical origin, very influential" and other aspects of the skill, culture - but obviously, some of our netizens are "national technology" as "originated in the country" to understand and treat.
For example, table tennis, we will call China's "national ball", in fact, it means that table tennis is our "national skill" - but obviously, table tennis is not our invention. I haven't seen the British people in the birthplace of table tennis, so I am angry with us for this, right?
And the Japanese said that the positioning of Go as a "national skill", did not say that it originated in Japan, The Japanese media reports, but also clearly pointed out that Go originated in China - now, Japan will recognize the positioning of Go from China as a national skill, is not equivalent to saying that people have inherited our culture, and treated and carried forward as a national treasure, does not this show that the influence of Chinese culture is very large?
Mentioning the use of Chinese culture by Koreans, excluding the words of some people or some netizens, in fact, in the end, it does not confirm that South Korea is robbing the "birthplace property rights" of Chinese culture in the name of the country.
For example, before 2005, the Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea was declared a "masterpiece of oral and intangible heritage of mankind" by UNESCO, but it only applied for the "Dragon Boat Festival" with the restrictive term "Gangneung".
In September 2009, UNESCO also officially reviewed and approved the "Chinese Dragon Boat Festival", which is listed as a world intangible cultural heritage and is the first festival in China to be selected as a world intangible cultural heritage.
Obviously, we can't say that the Koreans stole the "Dragon Boat Festival" that originated from us, and the reaction is that Korean history is too deeply influenced by Chinese culture, right?
Therefore, if we want to be the citizens of a big country, should we also have more big country people in terms of cultural dissemination? ——Truly their own culture, others can not take away!
Even if our culture can be skillfully applied by outsiders, it can only show that the profound Chinese culture has long-term vitality and great influence, which should not be regarded as a good thing? 【Original Review: Yu said that hugh】
