Because Koreans' knowledge of history and China is so limited that they take it for granted that they invented kimchi, which appears on their dinner table every day.
When it comes to the origins of kimchi, Koreans have always thought that it originated in South Korea, but with a little bit of knowledge, they can realize that China is the birthplace of kimchi. Kimchi originated in China? The idea that kimchi originated in China is not a figment of the Chinese imagination, but is supported by concrete historical records. One of the proofs is that it was mentioned in the Book of Songs? Minces is the word "mince" in the Book of Songs. The word "mince" was mentioned in the Book of Songs, and the meaning of this word is ? Sauerkraut, pickles? In addition, if you look deeper into the Korean kimchi culture, you can find many traces of Confucian culture. As we all know, Confucianism is a Chinese culture.
The reason why kimchi, a pickled food, is so popular in Korea and has become one of the indispensable foods for Koreans is that the reason behind it has a lot to do with the environment of Korea. South Korea is located in the Korean Peninsula, because of the high latitude of South Korea's winter is always cold and long. The prolonged cold weather is very unfavorable to the growth of crops, so every winter Korean people's dinner table is always lack of fruits and vegetables. To make up for this, Koreans make kimchi, a pickled vegetable, before the winter to ensure that vegetables are also available on the table in winter. It's not fresh, but it's better than nothing.
In contrast to South Korea's ?
In contrast to South Korea's? That's why the Chinese invented kimchi, but never made it an indispensable part of their daily diet. Koreans, who see kimchi on the table every day, have come to regard it as their own. This has led Koreans to mistakenly believe that China is trying to plagiarize kimchi when they see Lee openly making it? plagiarize? their kimchi culture, not realizing that kimchi culture originally emerged from China.
South Korea has been y influenced by Chinese culture since ancient times, but the Koreans are so reluctant to recognize this fact that they regard kimchi culture as their own property. Dead duck mouth hard? South Korea has been committed to de-Chineseization since it became an independent country, and the Korean government has even issued a decision to abolish Chinese characters completely. However, after the implementation of this initiative, South Korea has found many inconveniences, so they can only resume the basic education of Chinese characters. In fact, for Koreans, stopping the study of Chinese characters is almost the same as abandoning history, because many of their historical books are written in Chinese characters.
