Some people in South Korea have their own views on the new round of cultural dispute between China and South Korea caused by "Korea wants to apply for Chinese characters". Dr. Su from the Library of Congress of Korea analyzed that South Korea, like Japan, is a single nation with strong nationalism. South Korea, in particular, has always been surrounded by great powers in history, and some people always feel that "we are great ourselves", which is understandable.
Su said that the same is true in China. Some netizens in China lack a sense of responsibility and release all kinds of unfounded words. He suggested that the two countries think and treat calmly and try not to amplify the extreme thoughts of various countries. There is no need for Koreans to enlarge the opinions of a few people as the collective opinions of all Koreans. "It is impossible for the Korean government to completely ban these opinions, because it is natural to look at the problem from another angle. They are not experts at all, and no scholars agree with them. " "The relationship between neighboring countries is always combined with communication and conflict, so it is easy to be incited and stimulated. The media should pay attention to this special situation." Su also told reporters that the Korean and Chinese media should not incite their own nationals. For example, after South Korean journalists in China reported that China people didn't like South Korea, South Koreans were naturally angry and naturally had a bad opinion of China. China is a big country with many nationalities. It doesn't understand how South Korea feels as a small nation, and vice versa. Koreans don't understand some practices of China. China should show tolerance on some issues, and experts from the two countries should have a frank dialogue.
Dr. Wang Dasan, a researcher at the Confucius Institute at Renmin University of China, said that it is common for different countries and nationalities to have some arguments on cultural, traditional and religious issues. Just two weeks ago, an American scholar said that French culture had fallen, and French scholars immediately refuted and defended French culture. However, what some people in South Korea are doing now is rare in the world and I dare not compliment them. Referring to South Korea's application for gangneung danoje festival three years ago, Wang Dasan said that the Dragon Boat Festival is no longer a patent of China, let alone Koreans. Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries also have Dragon Boat Festival traditions, and they show their differences. Singaporeans who are mainly Chinese still have the tradition of eating zongzi, but few people in countries like South Korea prepare zongzi. South Korea's gangneung danoje festival was formed later than China's Dragon Boat Festival in terms of time. After thousands of years of evolution, the Dragon Boat Festival has the content and characteristics of Koreans. In this regard, South Korea's application for the Dragon Boat Festival is understandable. After all, it's not the whole Dragon Boat Festival. But one thing is clear, that is, the influence of the Dragon Boat Festival is much greater than that of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Wang Da III believes that the cultural dispute between China and South Korea is basically a civil debate on the cultural level and academic scope, which is only an episode in Sino-South Korea relations and will not affect the overall situation of Sino-South Korea friendship. Chinese people should treat the cultural dispute between China and South Korea objectively and rationally, and give appropriate tolerance to the practices of Koreans to reflect the cultural literacy and psychological quality of the people of big countries. Mencius once said, "Only the benevolent can minimize the major events." In addition, some of China's online works and academic works lack seriousness, such as "Confucius is a SangGuQuan", "Li Bai is a punk", "Zhuge Liang is the most hypocritical man in China" and "Cao Cao turned out to be a woman". In the eyes of some China scholars, these voices of doubt and subversion are also a great threat to China's traditional culture.
