Why South Korea steals Chinese culture

According to current culture, it is stealing.

But Korea’s culture is the same as China’s, nearly 5,000 years old.

To be precise, Korean culture is about 4,500 years old.

Among these 4,500 years, 4,500 are related to China. Because the territory is very close, we accept more Chinese culture.

For example, Korean Buddhist culture was introduced to Korea from China. Moreover, it was a vassal state of China for 500 years during the Joseon Dynasty.

In the past five to six hundred years, we have received a lot of traditional Chinese culture. For example, Confucianism is traditional Chinese culture.

South Korea still retains many Confucian ideas. There are still many misunderstandings, such as the Dragon Boat Festival. South Korea applied for a world intangible cultural heritage, but it only has the same name and accepts Chinese culture. The meaning of Dragon Boat Festival is completely different.

In the past, South Korea used Chinese characters. It was not until the early Joseon Dynasty that it had its own problems, which is less than 600 years ago.

To be precise, it's not stealing. It should be that Korean culture has a lot of Chinese culture integrated into it.
