What are the similarities between Chinese and Korean cultures? Why is there a saying of "no separation"?

There are many similarities between China and Korean cultures, such as festivals, official languages, food culture and so on. Because Korea has always been a subordinate country of China in ancient times, the cultures of China and South Korea are inseparable.

South Korea was one of China's vassals in ancient times. They are in the northeast corner of China. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that South Korea became truly independent. Koreans still retain many habits of the Ming Dynasty in China, and always consider themselves as the culture left over from the Ming Dynasty. In recent years, China's Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and other festivals have not been applied as intangible cultural heritage, because they are the culture left over from the Ming Dynasty. This shows that the cultures of our two countries are inseparable. Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival are indeed the cultural heritage of their country, because they belong to the subordinate countries of the Ming government in China.

1. The history of South Korea and China is intertwined. Historically, South Korea was once called South Korea. South Korea was always the territory of Yan during the Warring States Period. Although the territory of Yan State has not yet expanded to the territory of South Korea, North Korea is already within the territory of Yan State. Then it went through a historic change. The emperor of our country is called Korea, and now their country is also called Korea and South Korea. They didn't have words before. They were handed down from our country.

Second, there have been many wars to aid Korea in China's history. Because South Korea has been one of China's subordinate countries since ancient times, when there is a war in their country, our country will send troops to support it. The most famous ones are the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and Aid Korea in the Ming Dynasty and the War of Resistance Against US Aggression and Aid Korea since the founding of New China. They are as indispensable as our doors.

Third, South Korea's application for China's ancient festivals is well-founded. South Korea has been applying for China's ancient festivals in recent years, but it can't be said that their application is wrong. Because they, as princes, recognized us in the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming dynasty, these festivals already existed, so these festivals are their festivals, because they are part of our Ming dynasty. So it makes sense for them to apply, because our culture is inseparable.

Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are also Korean festivals. Do you agree? Leave me a message!
