What are the cultural practices that China and South Korea *** share?

Two countries as friendly neighbors, many folk beliefs and values, South Korea by a lot of Chinese culture, so the two countries are extremely similar culture, at the same time, leading to the two countries between the way of life, code of conduct, customs and habits, etc., are very much the same, but in the end, each country still has its own original culture, there is no exactly the same customs and behavioral rules, can only say that the two are similar, can not say the same, but the two countries do have the same culture. The two countries are similar, not identical, but they do have some cultural similarities.

Deep family values

China and South Korea share a great deal of similarity in terms of human morality, with family values being the most prominent. Both countries believe that the family is the foundation of the country, if there is no family, where is the country, if there is no person, where is the family. So the family is the foundation of the whole society, or the spiritual pillar of the nation. South Korea's "blue life and death love", China's "the temptation to go home", have shown that the concept of the family is an important carrier of national emotions.

We can find that the traditional concept of family is y rooted in Korean culture, and even in the dominant position, we look at the popular Korean TV dramas from 2000 until now, the proportion of the family film and television drama, in which has been in the rising stage, whether it is the South Korean teenage idol dramas or salty dramas, in which the South Koreans more or less show the importance of the family.

China's traditional culture, Confucianism, emphasizes the importance of the family, which is very much in line with the Korean concept of family, and basically all Korean family dramas have a complete set of standard characters: grandparents who are strict on the surface, but loving on the inside; sons and daughters-in-law who sometimes talk back, but are actually extremely filial; and grandchildren who are rebellious, but kind on the inside. All these demonstrate the importance of family values in Korea.

And China, as the birthplace of Confucian culture, the Chinese people are even more important to the family, the family is the basic unit of society, is everyone's place of existence, the concept of the family and the country as one is y rooted in people's hearts and minds, from the point of view of Chinese film and television dramas, the family ethical dramas are still occupying a large proportion of the majority of the ratings are higher and most of the ratings are family ethical dramas.

Conservative Values

China and South Korea are both influenced by Confucianism, and therefore maintain conservative values that are very different from the individualistic values of Western society. China and South Korea place a higher value on collective interests, especially the interests of the family, and emphasize the spirit of suppressing one's own desires while dedicating oneself to the nation. This concept is also very prominent in the movies and dramas of the two countries. Why do I often cite the television dramas of the two countries as examples? Because TV dramas are for the general public to watch, the production of TV dramas must be in line with the values of the people in their own countries, and the values expressed by many people are reflected through the TV dramas, so the TV dramas of each country can very much reflect the values they hold.

For example, the popular South Korean TV drama "Dae Jang Geum" tells the story of a man who, for the sake of the country and the collective interests, is trapped in the palace, specializing in medical research, curing many nobles of their illnesses, and fighting in the first line of medical treatment for a long time without fear of danger. This is a typical movie and TV drama of giving up one's ego for the country, while on the contrary, a series of Chinese historical costume dramas such as "Yang Men Women Generals", "Yang Men Tiger Generals", and so on, all of them glorify the moving deeds of those who are loyal to the country. These are all expressions of conservative Chinese values and the importance of individual interests over national and collective interests. They celebrate the spirit of dedication to the country.
