China's traditional festivals: Dragon Boat Festival by the Korean heritage event?

Asia has a very large number of countries, and China as one of the four ancient civilizations, but also has a long history, and nowadays many of the traditions of neighboring countries were once spread over by China. And some of the traditional festivals of the heritage in the later history of the development of a lot of changes and different.

So, this issue together to understand the Dragon Boat Festival by South Korea heritage event.

The Dragon Boat Festival originated in China, initially as a festival to dispel diseases and prevent epidemics, before the Spring and Autumn period in the Wu-Yue land in the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar in the form of a dragon boat race held in the tribal totem sacrifices; after the poet Qu Yuan held a stone to throw himself into the Miluo River to die, and has become a traditional festival of the Chinese in honor of the Qu Yuan; in some parts of the world also commemorate Wu Zixu, Cao E and other sayings.

The Dragon Boat Festival has been eating rice dumplings and drinking xionghuang for a long time since ancient times. Influenced by Chinese culture, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a traditional festival for Chinese culture circle countries as well as overseas Chinese around the world. Since 2008, the Dragon Boat Festival has been listed as a national legal holiday, and in May 2006, it was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list, and in September 2009, UNESCO formally considered and approved the inscription of the Dragon Boat Festival into the World Intangible Cultural Heritage, making it the first festival in China to be included in the World Intangible Cultural Heritage.

In 2009, China started the process of applying for the inscription of the Dragon Boat Festival. The project by the Hubei Province on behalf of China, to the United Nations submitted to the "Chinese Dragon Boat Festival" as the name of the intangible cultural heritage declaration form, by the zigui county of Hubei "Qu Yuan hometown of Dragon Boat Customs", Huangshi City, "Xise Shenzhou will be "and Hunan Miluo City, Miluo River Dragon Boat Customs", Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, "Suzhou Dragon Boat Customs" consists of four parts.

November 2005, declared by South Korea's "Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival" in Paris time on the 24th was officially recognized by UNESCO as "legends of mankind and intangible heritage works". According to reports, South Korea in the declaration of the "Dragon Boat Festival" in the text, the first sentence is "Dragon Boat Festival was originally a Chinese festival, to Korea has been more than 1500 years.

Korea's Dragon Boat Festival is actually composed of dance, shaman rituals, folk art displays and other content, which is with the Chinese people to eat rice dumplings, rowing dragon boats, commemorating the Qu Yuan is a different matter, the only point of convergence is the time frame, are held during the Dragon Boat Festival in China. China declared "Dragon Boat Festival" non-heritage and South Korea is not contradictory, China and South Korea Dragon Boat Festival is the source and flow of the relationship.

From the success of Korea's heritage to China's Dragon Boat Festival heritage, we can see: Korea's traditional cultural activities injected into the modern elements, successfully realized the modern transformation, and has been recognized by the international community, the protection of China's cultural heritage has a reference significance. The Dragon Boat Festival, celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar every year, is also known as the Duan Yang Festival, the Noon Festival, the May Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Orchid Bathing Festival, and so on. It is a traditional cultural festival that is popular in China as well as the countries in the Chinese character cultural circle.

South Korea's successful application is "not a bad thing" for the reason that, as experts say, "the Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival is actually not the same thing as our Dragon Boat Festival." South Korea's Dragon Boat Festival is made up of dances, shaman rituals, folk art displays and other elements, and the Chinese people eat rice dumplings, rowing dragon boats, and commemorating Qu Yuan are two different things, "the only point of convergence is the timeframe, are held during the Dragon Boat Festival in China."

That's not necessarily true, as Associate Professor Hu Zhixiang, a researcher in folklore at Fudan University's Department of Literature and Museums, has a different view: "'Duanwu Festival' and 'Duanwu Festival' are not fundamentally different. Culture consists of a core part and an influential part, which always undergoes some changes in the process of spreading, during which the core part tends to be preserved.

The Dragon Boat Festival was originally a festival in China, and the core of the Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival in Korea was passed down from China. Although there is a difference in meaning between 'festival' and 'offering' in Korean, when it comes to 'bidding for heritage', both the Dragon Boat Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival should be represented by the English word FESTIVAL ( FESTIVAL) to denote it."

ConclusionThere was also an incident a few years ago when South Korea applied for the inscription of the Tohoku kangtu, and it is not the first time that such a thing has happened. However, in terms of the Dragon Boat Festival being recognized as a heritage event, there is still a substantial difference between the Dragon Boat Festival in China and the Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea.
