Why do Koreans like China so much and worship China culture?

Historically, South Korea has been deeply influenced by China culture for a long time, so the elements of China culture have been deeply imprinted on Korean gestures, and even now they still stubbornly appear in almost every aspect of Korean society.

Han culture greatly promoted the civilization of the ancient Korean nation.

Therefore, Koreans have been unable to abandon China's cultural traditions. They don't regard China culture as a foreign culture, but as an organic part of their traditional culture, even the backbone.

However, it should be noted that what Koreans like and admire is the traditional culture of China from China, which is the backbone of Korean traditional culture and has no direct relationship with China culture today.

Today's China culture is based on the Han culture, absorbing Manchu culture and other minority cultures, as well as some elements of western and Japanese culture. The mixed-race culture formed through the tortuous process is completely different from the traditional culture in China in terms of value standards, even compared with the Japanese culture and Korean culture today, it absorbs the nutrients of advanced western culture, and is also different from the traditional culture in China.

Therefore, Koreans' attitude towards China culture today is very complicated. They feel close from the heart because of some cultural aspects or details, but they really don't like many words and deeds of China people, and it is even more difficult to accept and agree with many places that are inconsistent with China's traditional culture.

Almost no one in South Korea wants to integrate into modern China, but a few intellectuals, influenced by traditional culture, have a world plot, and have xenophobia similar to that of some Japanese and a few Japanese militarists in their bones, and hold an exclusive attitude towards western advanced civilization. Therefore, they very much hope to unite China and South Korea, which are linked by traditional culture, to build an integrated East Asian society and defeat western civilization. Of course, I think these people are very backward and ignorant. To use traditional culture against modern civilization is to prescribe the wrong medicine, go the wrong way and be doomed to failure.
