A related person from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Oceans of South Korea said that according to relevant investigations, experts concluded that warm health technology has the value of world heritage worthy of human protection, so they decided to start the application procedure. If experts think that it is feasible to apply for the warm kang heritage in advance, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Oceans of Korea will make a separate budget in the second half of 20 14, and officially start the warm kang heritage application as early as 20 15.
A person from the Ministry of Land and Resources of South Korea said that the traditional warm kang is "more environmentally friendly" by burning branches or charcoal to keep warm than using fuels such as oil and coal. According to the report, since China also believes that geothermal heating is its own inherent technology, South Korea must proceed from the principle of preemption to speed up the application for the World Heritage.
An application for inheritance is different from a patent.
Some netizens think that "warm kang" is registered as "non-legacy" by South Korea, which means that the technology belongs to South Korea. However, the application for heritage is different from the patent, which does not mean that South Korea is a "warm kang", but belongs to South Korea, and the application for heritage is not a proof of privilege. The original intention of UNESCO to apply for intangible cultural heritage is to protect and restore the common heritage of all mankind reasonably, and the word "common" is very important.
Will not affect the application of China Huokang.
In fact, the so-called warm kang in South Korea is similar to the principle of using fire kang in rural areas in northern China. Wang Zhi, deputy director of Xi Amphetamine Heritage Protection Center, studied in Korea for many years in his early years, and made a systematic study of traditional Korean houses. He said that traditional Korean houses have warm kang, so you can sit on the floor when you enter the door, and you can sleep on the spot when you open the quilt, just like geothermal heat now. In fact, this was the habit of China people before the Tang Dynasty, because there were no chairs and stools in the furniture before the Tang Dynasty, and people usually liked to sit on the floor. Since the Tang Dynasty, China has used the technology of fire-resistant stove connection.
In Wang Zhi's view, the application of Korean warm kang does not affect the application of China hot kang. Because according to the relevant regulations, the declaration of world cultural heritage should be based on the art of residential buildings, the fighting arch, wall building and kang building in Korean residential buildings basically follow the culture of China. It seems a bit far-fetched to file a separate application. Because all the world cultural heritages are mostly the products symbolizing national cultural symbols, national character and spiritual outlook, and have made certain contributions to human development. If you apply for one small aspect of construction technology, there is a great suspicion of speculation. "At present, cave technology and crypt caves have not applied for heritage. If it is not suitable to declare the so-called intermediate heating technology heritage, it may not be approved by UN experts in procedure. "
In Wang Zhi's view, South Korea and China belong to the oriental cultural circle, and a large number of our living customs have influenced South Korea. So far, Korea has completely preserved many traditional customs of the Central Plains, which have actually been ignored or disappeared in our lives. "Koreans' emphasis on traditional cultural customs actually encourages us to examine our attitude and emphasis on culture. We must admit that South Korea is more nuanced than us in inheriting Confucian cultural traditions. "Feng Jicai, chairman of the China Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood, once said that if South Korea had not successfully declared the Dragon Boat Festival as a world cultural heritage in 2005, people in our country might not have realized the value and concept of intangible cultural heritage so far. South Korea's pre-emptive statement is only an encouragement and stimulus to us.
