In fact, South Korea has a good impression in the hearts of China people. Korean products are of good quality and are favored by Chinese people. Moreover, both China and South Korea suffered Japanese aggression. During the war, the territory of South Korea was once occupied by everyone and was forced to establish the government of the Republic of Korea in exile in Shanghai. We should be able to understand each other better, because we have the same pain, but some things that Korea has done in recent years are incomprehensible: First, it robbed China of the festival (Dragon Boat Festival), and said that Confucius belongs to South Korea.

This makes many netizens angry. After thousands of years of Dragon Boat Festival, people in China have been celebrating Korean foreign festivals.

Actually, it's not like this. The Korean Dragon Boat Festival is mainly a traditional festival in Gangneung, gangwon, which falls on the fifth day of the fourth lunar month. Moreover, their Dragon Boat Festival is not eating zongzi or rowing dragon boats, but a sacrificial activity. People will jump rope, wear masks to do some witchcraft performances, wash their hair with calamus water and so on, which is completely different from the Dragon Boat Festival in China.

Earlier, some people said that after the successful application for World Heritage, the Dragon Boat Festival belongs to South Korea, while the Dragon Boat Festival celebrated by China people is a foreign festival in South Korea?

No way.

Faced with rumors and media hype. Dr. Song Junhua of China Intangible Cultural Heritage Research Center once explained that the Dragon Boat Festival in Gangneung, South Korea is essentially different from the Dragon Boat Festival in China. After South Korea's successful application for World Heritage, China Dragon Boat Festival can still apply for World Heritage. Therefore, there is no dispute between China and South Korea, and there is no so-called Korean victory.

In fact, some people may be familiar with the word Gangneung in South Korea. In fact, there are too many similarities between South Korea and China. Not only are people similar in height and appearance, but many Korean place names are repeated in China. For example, the largest river in South Korea is called Han River, and Seoul used to be called Seoul.

It can be seen that familiar place names such as Jiangling City, Jinzhou City and Lishui City can be found on the map of China. If you zoom in a little more, you will see more repeated names in China: Xiangyang, taian county, Xianyang, Gucheng, Lichuan, Gaoyang, Shuozhou, Wenzhou, Dezhou and so on. There are many small place names, and there are even five mountains on the Korean peninsula, such as Bagong Mountain in Zhongyue, Tuhan Mountain in Dongyue, Jilong Mountain in Xiyue, Geographical Mountain in Nanyue and Taibo Mountain in Beiyue.

Many place names on the Korean peninsula were reconstructed in ancient times under the influence of successive dynasties in China, including their county system originated from ancient China. And there are many Koreans on the Korean peninsula. It is said that when the Mongols destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, they marched into Japan and mobilized a large number of soldiers and civilians in the Central Plains. Later, because of several failures, the plan finally fell through, and those who moved to the Korean peninsula never came back. Many people can only live locally, and most of them live in Korea. Many place names have been changed to China's because they miss their homeland.

It is said that Xiangyang County in South Korea was Xiangyang City in the Southern Song Dynasty. Mongols sent a large number of soldiers and civilians from Xiangyang to the Korean peninsula to attack Japan and stationed on the east coast of the Korean peninsula. Finally, the plan to invade Japan fell through. These soldiers were not repatriated, but were stationed on the Korean peninsula as Mongolian ministries. After leaving Wan Li, I was homesick. Later, people found that the terrain here was very similar to Xiangyang in China, so they called this place Xiangyang, which not only had the same place name, but also had a cave in Xiangyang County. Lumeng Temple, etc. The development of history is always embarrassing. Now Xiangyang County and Xiangyang City in China are sister cities.
