Are there many similarities between Korean culture and China culture?

From ancient times to the Qing Dynasty, China was not called China, but Huaxia. Three figures in the history of China must be remembered.

The first is Qin Shihuang, who unified the whole country and established the first centralized country that called itself "the emperor".

The second is Sun Yat-sen, who overthrew the Qing government and ended the feudal dynasty in 2000. At this time, China can really be called "China"

The third is Mao Zedong. Why did he only recognize Mao Zedong and not Chiang Kai-shek? Because it was Mao Zedong who put an end to capitalism and established the present socialist country. (Taiwan Province Province is only the strategic interest of the United States, and history is only the outcome. ).

/kloc-After the 5th century, the Korean emperor Sejong laid the foundation of Korean culture, but before the Qing Dynasty, Korea was always a vassal country of China, and the official writing was China's Chinese characters, which absorbed Chinese civilization. Although the Korean peninsula is located in the northeast, it is sandwiched between Russia, Japan and the United States. (Except the United States, immigrants live together), and the Korean Peninsula is poor in resources and sparsely populated, and not only material but also culture are deeply complementary to China, so Koreans give up Sinology, which means giving up their own history.

However, after the Korean Peninsula was colonized by Japan, it went to the Korean Peninsula War. South Korea regarded the United States as its parents and China as its hostile object, so it once gave up Sinology. This has also led to modern Koreans not knowing Chinese characters, but retaining the heritage of Chinese civilization. It was not until the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea in the 1990s that South Korea re-recognized its history with the expansion of exchanges between China and South Korea.

So South Korea is a subordinate country of China. For hundreds of years, local dynasties on the Korean peninsula have always needed China's support to claim the title of emperor. Look at North Korea and South Korea now, just like history repeats itself.
