Why does North Korea also celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival: Because North Korea was a vassal state of China in ancient history, so it also celebrates the Dragon Boat Festival.
Why it can apply for a patent: 1. Maybe he I thought it was a vassal state of our country. 2. South Korea wants to return to my country.
“South Korea’s successful application for World Heritage will not have any impact on our Dragon Boat Festival culture. Intangible cultural heritage is the most important thing for all mankind. I personally think it is not a bad thing if our cultural traditions are recognized by other countries,” Liu Kuili, chairman of the Chinese Folklore Society and a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with reporters yesterday morning. Professor Liu said that UNESCO’s requirement for intangible heritage declaration is that each country can declare one item every two years. China has a lot of intangible heritage that is in urgent need of protection, which is why South Korea rushed to declare this time.
“The Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival is actually not the same thing as our Dragon Boat Festival.” Gao Bingzhong, secretary-general of the Chinese Folklore Society and professor at Peking University, said in an interview with reporters that the Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea is actually composed of dance and It consists of Manchu sacrifices, folk art displays and other contents. This is completely different from the Chinese eating rice dumplings, rowing dragon boats, and commemorating Qu Yuan. "The only similarity is the time frame. They are all held during the Dragon Boat Festival in China." Professor Gao said that South Korea The successful application for World Heritage actually brings us a lot of inspiration: they injected traditional cultural activities into modern elements, successfully achieved modern transformation, and gained international recognition, which has reference significance for the protection of Chinese cultural heritage.
