Recently I attended a traditional Korean painting class, the korean teacher gave some brief history of traditional korean painting, and she did say about the influence from the chinese. Good teacher don't twist or hide facts.
just because the original influence did come from another culture does not mean that the latest version is inferior to the original, in fact, it is usually a better suited version for that particular location or situation. this adaptation should be encouraged for all people so that there will be more to be enjoyed by all. only the narrow minded will always hide behind stale and rigid structures or forms that over time also become lifeless instead of vibrant.
@@johntse8655lol no way the Korean adaptation of ink painting is in any way shape or form superior to the Chinese version. And Korea literally made no change or improvement whatsoever comparing to the original Chinese techniques. Then they had the audacity to tell the world the exact techniques are “traditionally Korean”.
@@JT-dd9fi do not misunderstand, there is really no need to compare superior or not in art, as they say, imitation is a form of praise and endorsement, but in true art, a modified version is yet another additional form of the art. they are not wrong to say that the techniques are traditional in nature as long as they did not say that they are the original version. in fact, everyone around the world should do a version of whatever they feel passionate about and therefore enrich the world. only narrow-minded closed hearted people are so prickly about pure this and pure that, they forgot that everything in their culture was once upon a time also modified from other cultures, even the form of government by most countries come from somewhere else, why don't they harp about that?
A lot of people think the Go game is a Japanese game but the truth is it is a Chinese game called Weiqi（围棋） in Chinese. The game was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago
@@xmb6793 no that’s because all English keeps as a name for the game is Go. So when ppl check what the translation is they get Go. I even tried changing it in wiki just to see what happens and lol n behold it goes back to Go cause Westerners have physical reaction to anything good that’s Chinese. So no it’s on the West for their ignorance.
I also have learned about how tea was called around the world back then due to where it was traded, traded from canton called cha, from hokkien called teh .
I think it comes first from the interaction between the latin speaking European and hokkien teochew Chinese. It came to my first realization when I was learning Spanish and found it the exact same pronunciation as tea in teochew. Then I was in a museum in my hometown Swatow and found out there was a teochew merchant who was sold to America or mexico(I forgot which one ) as labor and learned Spanish and English. The man was so fluent in English and Spanish that later when he returned to China, he became an unofficial diplomat for helping communication between Europeans and the Chinese officials. I forgot his name, I will update it once I found it when I am back to that museum in my hometown
@@VisibleMRJ that's interesting as I thought Thais had such close relationship with teochew Chinese, it would adopt "Te",hokkien and teochew region pronunciation, as its pronunciation but instead Thai adopted mandarin pronunciation.
China was the epitome of civilisation in the East for thousands of years influencing the Korean, Japanese and Indo-Chinese culture, traditions and linguistic.
honestly, not just korea, but the rest of the world as well...just look up china's ancient invention, you'd be surprise how long the list is and how many things were actually first invented by china
Bonsai is most definitely Chinese, it originated in the Chinese empire by 700AD and was later adopted by Japan. All of Asia adopted Chinese ideals of beauty and governance until the European colonizers came and blew it all away with violence and war.
_"... All of Asia..."_ You mean all of East Asia. There is most likely SOME influence in other parts of Asia and maybe the world, but not as much as in East Asia.
well japanese kneeling is also from china.... back then every officials had to kneel to the emperor.... mostly the emperor would "grant seat" to the officials.... those seats were not typical chairs but a small wooden block or cushion to rest the butt on so the legs n knees would not take the full weight of the body and then goes numb after..... so when the emperor did not grant the seat.... the officials knew they fxxked up on their duties..... and the Japanese copy it but kind of missing the whole concept.....
So much appreciation to you guys, and especially to Julie, for having such frank talks on Chinese and Danish culture. I'm learning a lot, and I'm Chinese-American of Cantonese origin. I've not always been drawn to China but I sure am now, and in a huge way. Love my people and my homeland.
@@foodparadise5792 I was born in Hong Kong, came to the US when I was 5. I'm so glad and relieved HK reunified with China. That the takeover was for only 99 years and not permanent, is a huge blessing. Look at England and the rest of the UK now. It's a hot mess, filled with violent crime and invaders, and HK would have been infested with their problems had the reunification not taken place.
I have known all this for a long time, no matter how the media promotes it, but as a person who specializes in the history of East Asia and Southeast Asia, my colleagues and I are very aware of the importance of Chinese history in East Asia and Southeast Asia. I can basically say that more than half of the history of East Asia and Southeast Asia revolves around China. The influence of Chinese culture on East and Southeast Asia is no less than the influence of Rome on the West. From architecture to clothing to language, culture and festival customs, China is almost the blueprint for the entire East Asia. Of course, this is not surprising. After all, Chinese civilization is one of the oldest existing civilizations, and the Chinese are also one of the most successful ethnic groups in history.
I too used to be one of these Sinophobes brainwashed by US/Western media to think that China was inferior. It wasn't until the HK riots happened that I started diving into a rabbit hole and learning more about China and what the US empire was doing in HK, China, and other countries. Sinophobia is by design by the US/West.
Even lots oh HK, Taiwan, Tibet, Uyghur people hate mainland Chinese. Mongolians, too. Do not solely blame US and west for this sinophobic norm because CCP earned it by themselves. China should try to solve its problem by first acknowledging the fact that they themselves are the reason why many country hate China, including its surrounding country. BTW, stop building dams on South East Asia!! Lots of South East Asian people suffer from draught! Stop drawing that weird map where the whole South China Sea belongs to China! (And don’t include Taiwan)
its funny how people are so quick to call out "cultural appropriation" but feel that it's okay to rebrand a lot of culturally significant chinese things as japanese or korean. Even when some of these things are hundreds or thousands of years old. It's essentially telling me that my culture isnt "good enough" on it's own. And thank you for making this video, I don't see enough (or anyone) on western social media talking about this.
I usually think the word cultural appropriation is overused, especially in situations where it just isn't actual cultural appropriation, but when it does legitimately happen people just don't care. It's very frustrating for sure
western hypocrisy...seems like we can see it everywhere in the media in the world right now...as long as it came from their allies and their nations its ok good, but as soon as it came from their enemies or rivals even thought its the same stuff then its a no no...look at what happen to the Palestinian and how the west and israhell are doing to them?
People have to realize the "thing" that gets passed down (culture) is never in a vacuum, it changes within in the county, between countries and then within the recipient country itself especially if the thing that gets passed down happened hundreds or thousands of years ago. The word "rebranding" is a really a misnomer.
@@morningcalmrisingsun there’s some truth to what you say… it’s alright for a country to take something, adapt it and call it their too, esp it if has been passed down for hundreds and thousandthousands of years of years. But also acknowledge that most of everything that is Korean or Japanese that is traditional culturally speaking comes from China. Korean and Japanese culture was built primarily upon and from Chinese culture.
@@Alasterius41I would disagree with "most" and is very debatable with many other things. But I think it's common knowledge that the Lunar Year, fireworks, Hanzi writing system etc for example are Chinese origin. Buddhism, Western clothing, anything based on electronics, western building archtecture etc which all Asian nations use including China should be acknowledged too of their origins if you want this to be fair.. And believe it not there's a large body of cultural traditions and inventions that do not have Chinese origins in these Asian nations.
Most people do not know that the symbols in the Korean flag incorporated the Chinese Taoist symbols. Taoism originated in China with the elements of Yin-Yang, the 8 Trigrams, Lo-Shu diagrams and Lao Tzu's philosophy dating back from the Shang/Zhou dynasty.
Also originate from China are Gomoku chess (围棋），Tea （茶道），Acupunture, architecture style. Years ago karate Gojuru went to Shaolin to admit they are from China (认祖归宗）。

Another misconception is about Kiwifruit being native to New Zealand. It was known as Chinese gooseberry in China and has been grown there for centuries. The seeds were brought to New Zealand in the early 20th century and successfully cultivated and grown commercially.
@@onlywei Kiwi is "Chinese gooseberry" in English. (there are a few species of gooseberry). In Chinese, it is called 猕猴桃 or "mi hou tao". Maybe that's why you are confused.
Japanese and Korean "traditional" architecture are real Chinese architecture (different dynasties architectural styles). The Chinese character " 華 " represents " China/Chinese(Han) ", and the image of " 華 " is a logo of Chinese architectural wood structure, which is the unique architectural style of China. It represents the extent of the power and influence of ancient China. Japanese "traditional" architecture was replicated by the Chinese Tang Dynasty architecture (black roof). Many buildings were replicated at the time of Chinese Tang Dynasty architecture (simple version) at that time. It was almost the same. In the Ming Dynasty of China, it was in charge of Korea's territory and regime. It was a Chinese architecture built by colonial Korea (it was created by the technical guidance of the Chinese), and it was by no means Korean "traditional" architecture. In ancient Korea, there was no such complex architectural technology. Korea's local traditional architecture was a cottage built by grass.
Many western cultures have some relation with Roma or Greece. That is fact and everybody knows. And also everybody knows that every western countrys have their own culture or their own tradition, and this fact is also everybody around the world knows. What happened during the Cultural Revolution in China is totally distraction of traditional Chinese culture by Chinese government, CCP. So no wonder why you don't see many chinese culture these days every where because Chinese destroyed Chinese culture by their own. So some of Chinese students or professor would come Japan to research old Chinese stuff. When you think about chinese old culture or traditional things, it's also necessary to think about Chinese Cultural Revolution and how that event worked, I guess.
As the late and great Anthony Bourdain once said, "Even if you've never had Chinese food, you've had Chinese food. Everything from noodles to pasta to ketchup to ice cream had their origins in Chinese cuisine. Yes, ice cream. Chinese chefs in the Tang dynasty mixed ice with goat milk and honey, with a touch of salt to keep it from freezing solid, then added camphor - the vanilla of the time - for flavor. Basically, 'vanilla ice cream.
Are u serious? Even If chinese people had a form of ice cream, the European version didn't get their inspiration from china. Logo graphics writing was invented in first in Egypt. Does that mean china didn't invented its owne version?
@@CaliforniaDreams-eb8sx The key iss communication: there was little contact between East and West 4000-5000 years ago when China first developed its writing system, so it's unlikely they were inspired by the Egyptians. 800 years ago? Sure, there was lots of communication. You had the Silk Road, and many Persian and Italian travelers and merchants, not just Marco Polo, wrote about Chinese products and often brought them over. Noodles, sauerkraut, paper money, silk. tt's possible if not likely that word of an exotic sweet ice milk treat reached the Middle East and then the West, just like so many other things. At any rate, my point was that the Chinese came up with a lot of common things long before most other peoples, and ice cream is one example. Yet they rarely get credit.
there's a difference between fucking noodles and ice cream lmao. Don't get ahead of yourself now. Honestly insane how you consider them to be creators of ketchup when the ingredient wasn't even in china.
@@xuan3236 LMAO no YOU don't get ahead of yourself. I don't 'consider' them the creators of ketchup; *HISTORIANS* do. So go ahead and call The National Geographic 'insane'. In their article "How Was Ketchup Invented?" they explain the 'Hokkien Chinese' origins of ketchup. Another article: "The Cosmopolitan Ingredient: An Exploration of Ketchup's Chinese Origins" by Dan Jurafsky at Slate. So ketchup's Chinese, right down to the word. Don't get ahead of yourself until you learn some history; and realize your ignorance. Which is obvious when you say "the ingredient". For ketchup was considered 'ketchup' long before it was made with tomato products; even in the West, it was first made with mushrooms and the tomato sauce version came 100 years later. Wikipedia says: "The unmodified term ("ketchup") now typically refers to tomato ketchup,[1] although early recipes for various different varieties of ketchup contained mushrooms, oysters, mussels, egg whites, grapes or walnuts." The term might come from the Cantonese keh jiap which means 'tomato sauce'; through the Spanish galleon trade, the Chinese got tomatoes but they had a jelly-like sweet-sour sauce known as ketchup long before. But the term probably comes from Fujianese word Koeh-chiap which refers to a jelly-like sweet brine-based sauce. As for noodles and ice cream being different, what's your point? In both cases, the earliest food that can be considered noodles or ice cream did come from China; dessicated noodles were discovered in Chinese gravesites over 2,000 years old. Through the Silk Road, Arab and Italian travelers learned of and wrote about exotic foods, which is how they inspired Middle Eastern and Western versions.
oh yeah well said. we can talk about Aristotle and Platon were raising in Greece around the same time of Confucius and Laozi and yes there aren't much communications between. But Japan really came to China to take cultural stuff to Japan. Like material stuff, books and other stuff. Under Tang. So yeah, cases are a bit different. But this is a nice one, the Tang ice cream 👍
I’m surprised nothing was mentioned about China’s cultural revolution during the 60s and 70s which is greatly responsible for the destruction of so much original Chinese culture and religion. Even today nearly 75% of residents of China practice no religious belief. This is so sad for the birthplace of Taoism and Buddhism which even when practiced in China are required to uphold China’s communist leadership.
Of course but it is also a very different China today. Some could argue that the tradition of many things like hanfu died out in Qing and was revived after prc was established
More like Greco-Roman because Rome got influenced by Greek culture. And Hanzi (called Kanji in Japanese, Hanja in Korean and Chu Han in Vietnamese) is like Latin to the Romance languages, except Hanzi is still a living language while Latin is mostly dead except in Vatican and Catholic Churches.
If you find why the punician wars are named like that, you will understand whose region influence the rest and establish cultures and countries wherever they settle, from Greece to iberia ... they're the real china of the west.
Although China’s influence over Korea is even more recent than Rome’s influence of Europe. The transitional clothing for men you see in Korean historical dramas these days are literally the same as Ming dynasty style clothing - which is only 600 years ago.
the difference from the Roman one might be the humbleness. The ability of respecting nearby cultures even much smaller than itself. Ironically that's why China gets bullied so much. Because you know, the world nowadays is ruled by the fact: speaks louder who is stronger and more violent 😂
There's a video on China Uncensored - a reliably anti-China channel - called 'The Genius of Japanese Carpentry'. It's about how the Japanese build tall pagodas without nails. Funny thing is, the Japanese completely copied this from the Chinese! In fact, Japanese temple architecture is basically Tang dynasty (Chinese) architecture.
China built the greatest man-made structure in the world; namely, the Great Wall of China, even before Japanese and Koreans were able to build anything solid.
Hanbok is definitely not from China. Rather Korean clothes were popular in Yuan and Ming dynasty of China, and it's called 高麗樣 which means Korean style. Their government banned this fever because they thought it was threat to their identity.(which means they already knew it's not theirs) And now, we can easily notice the same thing is going on these days.

It seems to me that the majority of Koreans and Vietnamese are in denial of their past connection with rhe Chinese culture. They were the vassal estates of China a long time ago and naturally adopted Chinese culture and writing. It shows that they are not confident and proud about their past.
Korea and Vietnam were not just vassal states, but they were actually part of China. As for the Japanese, except for the minority aborigines, like Burakumins, Ainus, etc. (just like the aborigines in Taiwan province) their ancestors were from China, and DNA tests prove it. The one key milestone was when Xufu (Jofuku) went over to the eastern islands of Japan together with 5000 boys and 5000 girls to find the elixir of life for Emperor Qin Shihuang of China dring the Qin Dynasty. It was said that he became the first emperor of Japan. The Japanese themselves never denied it. The Japanese people are just like many Chinese Thais or Chinese Indonesians (and even Chinese Filipinos) who have changed their names.
Western power influenced them to hate on everything related to China. Instead of looking for similarities between them, they're looking for what differentiates them. Japan & S.Korea fell for Divide & Conquer trick.
China is the sphere of influence in the East, India also was a major sphere of influence in Asia, especially in South East Asia. Being dominated by one great power doesnt mean they dont have their own unique culture and language that is completely different to Chinese. China alone have many ethic groups and language. Does China reject their subjugation under the Mongols or do they embrace it? Vietnamese or Korea or Japanese dont reject what Chinese contribute to civilization, they embrace it. What sovereign nations dont like is others projecting their dominance over them. South Korea and Japanese these days have no real culture, they are just USA lapdogs or vassals.
Zen Buddhism is Chinese in origin, not Japanese. In the West, a lot of Casinos and gambling organisations use '888' in their names without knowing why. Lifts and buildings don't have a fourth floor. The origin of this is Chinese superstition. In Vietnam, they still greet people with,"Have you eaten?" Again, Chinese in origin. According to the BBC's History of Japan, Japan had no writing system before it adopted Kanji (Han writing). REISCHAUER & FAIRBANK's EAST ASIA: THE GREAT TRADITION describes the cultural heritage these East Asian counties owe China.
I would never assume that the Chinese stole anything from Japan or Korea. The trend has always been in the other direction, with China being looked at as the cultural leader in the entire Eastern region, the way France was looked at for wine and fashion in the past. However my interest in Chinese culture and history began before all the Kpop and anime exploded onto the world scene.
For me it's the same. I was so curious about Chinese history and culture when I was very young. Later, I was introduced to the other cultures. I studied in Japan where I'd get introduced to kpop but China stayed a country I was curious to learn more about
Japan's influence on China is reflected in lacquerware, Japanese Hand fan, A Lazy Susan in a Chinese restaurant, Chinese tunic suit-Mao suit, Country name, Japanese two-character idiom, three-character idiom, Jogging suits of school and so on and on... It was brought from Japan.
🥲 I’d like to introduce you to Chinese Communist Party’s “The northeastern project.” Liberals in the west stand for Palestinian genocide, yet here people seem to support the ideology used for the genocide in China…? It just looks like people don’t stand against the de facto strong countries

China is the Ancient Rome of the East, the only difference is it's still existing today. Europeans have centuries of claims of their own respective country as the descendant of the Romans because having that claim shows the prestige they have compared to other "barbarians". In the East, you can't do that because that culture you wish to claim to own is always there clearly owned by someone you envy for centuries, so the only thing you can do is slowly claiming part of the culture as yours instead of acknowledging the greatness of that culture and embracing it and that will be integrating others cultures into yours to make yourself feels greater and better. The reason Chinese people start hating Koreans as being a culture-stealer because before the "Korean" tanghulu trend started worldwide, ROK actually tried a lot of times registering Chinese-originated cultures as their own in UNESCO. That sparked a lot of hate towards them in China and led to more attention towards cultural heritage by the Chinese, which is part of the reason why Hanfu is getting more and more trendy. *饮水思源*
Well it has a lot to do with modern history and communism...that ideology itself is western, communism and Karl Marx is westerners so a lot of Asian country that hate communism had no choice but detach themselves from China. When China was not a communist country all other nation in Asia especially south east asian were proud to call China as their friend and allies and freely embrace Chinese culture that they see fit and have a very thigh relation with China. But after the revolution and communism many Asian countries had to choose the west to look up to because they think China has lost its cultural roots because of communism. If China is not a communist nation and became a democratic capitalist instead and the communist revolution failed i can see that most Asian countries will look up to China and stop pandering to the west. Chinese in mainland china need to get back to their roots including religious roots and cultural roots. Without it China will always seen as just another communist nation like any others. Look at Russia now, after they kick the communist now many other nation and westerners are actually more keen to learn about their culture and to be on their sides even thought the west NATO is traying their best to demonized them. china need a serios international rebranding of its image.

South Korea has been stealing Chinese culture for many years. In order to cover up this fact, they even changed the country's script and the name of its capital.

In China, they're so many natural good looking normal people on the streets, in Korea, it's all plastic, rare to see natural beauty.
Sure, but it doesn't matter if it's not originally from Korea. Korea adopted them and added their own spin on them and they've become distinct from the original version. Like how American sushi and pizza have become totally different from Japanese sushi and Italian pizza.
@@naivoj122 Sure, but if a spinoff becomes popular that doesn't take away from the original.

You are totally wrong, unfortunately. There is no shame in cultural appropriation, not at all. Cultural appropriation happens every day and every minute, naturally, and since it often goes both ways, a lot of things, including cultural practices, never clearly belong to only one country. If you feel obligated to object to other cultures' appropriation of Chinese culture, please first look at yourself to see how many things you wear or put on your body and how much of your entire being are non-Chinese.
Thanks Julie that you are so knowledgeable about China and it is about time that the real origin all those things you’re mentioned especially the Bonsai ( Westerners think it’s a Japanese thing ) . Japan had gotten lots of culture influenced from China!!!
Glad you enjoyed the video. I honestly just have a lot of fun learning about history and culture. I'm a bit ashamed that I didn't know bonsai came from China myself before we talked about it
many anime are based on Chinese ancient novels. Dragon ball's Goku took inspiration from the monkey king story. Saiyuki also. Once I mentioned it on my facebook. I just said there is a connection, even praising their re-creating ability, but felt how people were opposing to my revelation, thinking that I was telling something weird. Such an up-side down world
Thank you for telling more people around the world in this way that these are actually Chinese culture😭♥️Chinese culture has a long history of 5,000 years. We welcome people all over the world to carry out positive cultural exchanges and innovation, but we will never tolerate the misappropriation of our culture by others.
@@deepestsleeep Then don't fucking call it Lunar New Year! We call it Chinese New Year in South East Asia where there are tons of Chinese. Chinese invented the lunisolar CALENDAR and it's also used in Vietnam. Btw when I wished happy new year to my Vietnamese friends, I'd just wish them "Happy New Year". And btw learn how to spell "calender" yeah?
@@deepestsleeep It has nothing to do with who invented the moon. No one invented the moon. It’s irrelevant. Based on your reply, my guess is you don’t even know the difference between lunar calendar and lunisolar calendar. They are different. You are confusing them with each other. Lunar calendar is Islamic, lunisolar calendar is Chinese. If you want to call it Lunar New Year, you should base the festival on Islamic calendar (lunar calendar), no problem. But the truth is, your so-called “Lunar New Year” is based on lunisolar calendar (Chinese calendar), then it’s wrong. You are taking Chinese culture and making it your own, then accuse Chinese of stealing your culture. It’s just wrong and it makes no sense. People who call it “Lunar New Year” (based on lunisolar calendar) are trying so hard to delete the fact that it’s actually Chinese New Year. It’s a pathetic attempt to erase the Chinese cultural influence. Btw, when you said “most civilisations”, what you really meant is the western world and pro-west client regimes. They are only 13% of the entire population on earth, and they are definitely not the majority. The ACTUAL most civilisations call it Chinese New Year as it should be.
Dragon ball is inspired by the story originated from Journey to the West a well known literature in China. Same thing with Romance of the Three Kingdoms that is the history of China. It gets retold or re branded into something else by nearby nations and sold as their IP. There are plenty plenty more things like these being presented to people in the west which is originated by China but due to westerner's lack of knowledge of east Asia and their culture especially China, many get the wrong impression of where it comes from. Thinks about it, China is a major power in east Asia in ancient time. It has gone through many many dynasties ruled by kings and queens, is impossible it has no influence in the surrounding small countries. It is simply their culture get re banded or retold by nearby nations allied with the west, so it can be sold to the most population for maximum profit, even to those who are ignorance, in denial or having bias of China. 😂 Even some western films use technique that is originated from China, most of these things are being masked due to political stands.
They take, and then they put copyright 😂 think about the paper, the gunpowder, the seismograph and the printing technic.. think about if we put a copyright on these inventions and then ask them to pay us back for thousands years of cultural appropriation .. 😉
yep. Chinese should thank Japan. It was the Chinese who destroyed the Chinese culture, etc. China enjoy the destruction of traditional buildings and religion.
This video was excellent and in a subtle way, actually very powerful. As a Chinese American, I have obviously observed the well-orchestrated red scare in our society. When a country, culture, or civilization is mischaracterized and lied about, it erases its identity and significance while creating mistrust and even hatred. Thank you for shining the light on the truth. This video should be widely shared. Cheers from California
I think it started as anti-CCP feelings, and escalated into full-blown revisionist history by Koreans and people online, especially the last 10 years as Korean culture has become popular, a lot of misinformation is read online
The powdered green tea you're referring to is called matcha, and it's also Chinese. It originates from the Southern Song. They made the tea into a powder because it's easier to transport overseas in that form.
She is not referring to matcha, although matcha is originally Chinese too (matcha is a powder not crumbs). She is talking about the tea you buy in the West in general in the supermarkets etc. The powdered crumbs that she is referring to is the "tea dust" in tea bags as broken tea leaves and stems ground into small particles. In China if you get tea you will get the actual loose-leaf tea.
Fantastic video thank you for sharing your views and insights very well researched and presented with a high degree of balanced understanding 👍 much respect!
Also the japanese gyoza come from the chinese raviolis (tiao tse), not the contrary. The sinophobia is well and alive in the western countries, especially since they are feeling their hegemony is more and more threatened by China.
We (America) are not threatened by China, we just don't like the CCP. Btw, if you want to continue to discuss what was created by China, why don't you mention Covid-19? I mean it was one of the biggest inventions by the Chinese that impacted the world.
But honestly speaking, Japanese call gyoza 中華料理, which means Chinese cuisine in Japanese. Japanese in general speaking do credit the original of a lot of stuff their ancestors learned from China, unlike Korean.
Are you brainwashed by capitalism? In fact, Covid-19 was caused by the United States and brought to China through the Wuhan Universiade.You're ridiculous. It's like you're isolated from the world and haven't seen the news
The game of Go (碁 in Japanese and in ancient Chinese, 圍棋 in modern Chinese, baduk in Korean) was invented in China. I actually had read books in which some Japanese claimed that it was a Japanese invention.
The Spaniards were the first to trade tea from China Fujian province. The local Minnian dialect for tea it "de", or Spanish "te"... And then the English called "te" tea.... So technically "te" or later "tea" were actually derived from the Minnian dialect. ;)
Unfortunately, Japanese and Korean people have a negative "bias" towards China and its people. There are 56 ethnic minorities living in China with one of them being Korean who migrated across the Yalu River from North Korea. The Japanese population migrated to Manchuko during the invasion of the Northeast region of China by Japan and have remained in the area renamed as Manchuria. The style of clothing from Japan to Korea are adaptations of the Chinese Hanfu over thousands of years. Western countries, Japan, and Korea think that the Chinese Cheongsam as representation of the Chinese dress when actually it is the Hanfu. The Cheongsam originated in Shanghai during the Republican Era and WW2. Each dynasty made changes to the Hanfu and thus the reason for the different look and style.
@@jiayiandjulieinchina I’m aware of that fact. Korean people migrated into China prior to the Korean War and many were living in Northeast China for over 100+years. As such the integration of cuisine and culture.
Sometimes I think they purposefully use cheongsam as representation as an insult. There's no way they don't know hanfu is actual Chinese clothing by now.
@@priscillaferguson267 If you want to go back further into history, much of the northeastern part of China for all intent and purposes were Korean territories. Koguryeo a Korean kingdom and Balhae a kingdom ruled by former Koguryeo elites had hegemony over greater parts of northern China since 37 Bc to 668 AD, and then Balhae 698 to 926 AD. Gojoseon and Buyeo, even more ancient Korean kingdoms were present in that area since 1126 BC and 2nd century BC respectively. Of course, after 926 AD, it has been 1100 years ago but you can argue that "Korean" blood has been in the populace long before the "new" immigration of Chaoxianzu during the late 19th century. Many more moved out of the peninsula as soon as Japan annexed Korea in 1910. Some of those Koreans became freedom fighters and often fought alongside the Chinese against the Japanese in the late 1930's until the end of the war.
Funny story, the way you hear about Ramen you'd think the Japanese took it from Chinese 1000 years ago. No it was invented by Chinese Chefs in Japan circa 1850 adapting Lamian.

I actually got this happening to me before. My male friend told me how him and my other guy friends would "rate" their female friends and they all thought I was Korean because they think I'm pretty, but I'm Chinese...
It happens as South Korea became more developed in recent memory, resulting in its citizens having more time and money to devote more attention to their outward appearances. Generally as the country prosper, the more attractive their citizens will appear to be both outwardly and economically to others. Don't take such remarks too personally. Just focus on self improvement but not to the point of superficial and toxic like plastic surgery and excessive materialism. Spiritual, mental health is important as well.
@@s._3560yeah it happened to me too 10 years ago. However it does have something to do with the fact that a decade ago Chinese people didn’t dress as elegantly or didn’t put on make up and have nice skin compared to the Korean and Japanese counterparts. I mean back then even when I saw how my fellow Chinese people dress and present themselves I was face-palming so hard. But I think the big mistake people make is thinking that that’s always gonna be the case and cannot imagine Chinese people catching up so fast. Since in the west everything is pretty stagnant, no real improvements or change can be seen, whether it’s with people or with their society. So the impression of Chinese people is kind of analogous to: if after 10 years Americans start to become thinner and healthier, so people start to auto assume them to be European. Unfortunately in the case of US that’s not happening anytime soon.
There's an excellent book on the Silk Road and how it brought Chinese inventions and products to the west ... it's a treatise on how almost everything that is considered fundamental to western hegemony today, like the compass and gunpowder, had been invented and in use in China for hundreds, if not thousands, of years before Europeans began traveling the world. So people assuming things come from Korea or Japan wouldn't be that unusual.
Lol chinese didn't brought everything the west used to its hegemony, China invented some things sure but let's remember chinese thought the earth was flat till europeab missionaries teached them otherwise
Well said Julie and Jiayi 👍💗some far east Asian countries such as Korea and Japan rebranding Chinese New Year as Lunar New year, denying Chinese New year was originated from China.
@@mei-mo3ml Find yourself some pictures of South Korean and Japanese temples. Read the name of the temple written on the gate of the temple. They even call tofu, tofu! A Chinese term..... You need to educate yourself a bit more. You are not the typical Chinese I know.
@@mei-mo3ml Sorry, are we typing Chinese here? Derivative implies something similar to the original with alternations in its expressions based on practical considerations, often due to local necessity. What is rude or derogatory about that? Seemingly you are reading my comment through YOUR prejudice…
People forget that China had civilization and culture before Koreans and Japanese had anything you can even remotely recognize as being akin to their present day nations.
Thank you guys for making this video…and esp for Julie…someone who grew up in western world having patience to study the culture and the history…and mostly having the courage to tell the truth 🎉
and even our language, i once heard somebody said they think Japanese kanji are very beautiful, dude, it's hanzi not kanji! han(kan) means han ethnic, zi(ji) means characters. it's like saying French words in English sounds beautiful, of course, because they are French!
I don't think they are identical though? Or some of them probably are, but I remember when I studied japanese we had some chinese classmates that showed the differences between the two. They were similar but ultimately different. Of course, kanji does originate from the chinese written language but they are not identical.
@@user-nt2qk6lz5k even American English is not identical to British English. the kanji(hanzi) used in Japanese nowadays also went through simplification, and some word changed meaning throughout history. like the word 汤tang, in ancient Chinese it means any kind of hot waters, in modern chinese it means soup, but in modern Japanese it means bath.
On the mark. We are annoyed that South Korea appropriates Chinese culture so often and claimed it was theirs🥲🥲Actually all of these are a part of chinese culture!
Not only costumes and jewelry. I for one really think that Chinese people should bring back the Chinese traditional salute. It’s beautiful and very unique to China, like raising a cup of wine. It’ll show the world Chinese traditional civility is just as elegant as the European counterpart of handshakes and hugging.
@@zen-mc4ju what? That salute is between peers, dear. It doesn’t require bowing either. The bowing is extra. Did you know that the western handshake, technically came from hand kissing? You might as well say shaking hands is also a sign of superiority and inferiority. The person offers his/her hand would be in position of superiority and you receiving it inferiority, if you want to interpret it that way. Which is silly.
That custom was removed to prevent hierarchical society from continuing to exist. In places like Korea and Japan you can see the negative effects of it continuing. Like you have to bow specific ways for older people, speak with different words. China removing that custom is honestly a good thing.
@@jiayiandjulieinchina I strongly disagree. First of all, the salute of raising your hands as if raising a cup of wine, with the back of your hands in front, does not require a bow, and it was used between peers and friends and regular greeting. Second of all, there is no evidence of the claim that bows, like those of Japanese, somehow negatively affect society, social or otherwise, we still do bows universally in formal situations, for example when we shake hands the western way. Thirdly, as I’ve mentioned in my reply to the other person, hand shaking came from the hand kissing ceremony predominantly, where offering a hand meant in formal situations, that you ask the person receiving it to kiss it. The kissing eventually was not required and it turned into an inclination of the head, which indicates a bow, and now we have this universally. So should we get rid of hand shaking as well? And also by your logic, Hanfu came from feudalist China, that was btw, the logic the old communists used for why we shouldn’t be keeping any of these traditional Chinese heritages, because they remind us of feudalism and hierarchical society. Were they right then? Why Hanfu is okay but not the beautiful gesture of Chinese salute?
@@luceafarul579 You have said a lot, but they are all subjective feelings. But these were born with the ritual and music system of the Zhou Dynasty in Chinese history, and the essence of the ritual and music system is a hierarchical and ordered society. Japan and South Korea are still societies with a very serious hierarchical order to this day. There is no doubt that hierarchical order is reflected in all kinds of humble words and honorifics. As for Hanfu, that’s another story. The Communist Party has never opposed tradition. Even during the Cultural Revolution, many articles by Confucius and Mencius were still included in textbooks. You can't confuse tradition with mechanisms that reinforce hierarchical order. If you really have a deep understanding of Chinese history, you will know that Confucianism has been transformed many times, and the direction of its transformation was to serve the needs of imperial rule.
The word ketchup first appeared in the 17th century, and there were no tomatoes in it. Tomato based ketchup didn't appear until the 19th century. The word is most likely influenced by Fujianese word kue-ciap (膎汁). The first Chinese that Westerners have significant trade and cultural exchange with were the sea-faring Fujianese community in Southeast-Asia, not the Cantonese.
well yes its Ying yang originally. but in Korea its called taegeuk (official name for the korean symbol in their flag) but its derived from Yin yang. so technically yes its Chinese.
@@metalvideos1961 Bro that taegeuk is just a lame pronunciation of 太極/Taiji/Taichi. Hanzi character is always of single syllable like "Tai Ji" or "Yin Yang". South KR just minorly tweak the spelling in English characters and this is what they do every time.
@@metalvideos1961 that's true. they just take CN culture and K-label it. that's what they always do. you will notice that they k-label everything. nothing was originally from them. if they clarify the origin is CN then we don't give a sh*t. but now they are reversely accusing us this is ridiculous! For example the Chunjie/Chinese New Year is solely based on the Chinese agricultural solar-lunar calendar which is specifically designed for agriculture/farming of our CN land. They just know nothing about it but still steal it and claim it's their "traditional". this is so f kin hilarious because if their ancestor follow our agricultural calendar they can't grow anything properly because their weather is totally different to ours. they K-label everything in their vision
So what, Russian flag is western European monarchies symbol. In fact a horizontal rectangular piece of cloth as a falg is European tradition one of millions spread all around the world for good!
Also KPOP is a rebranding of American Culture. I've watched thousands of Kpop music videos and still have NO IDEA what Republic of Korea looks like, instead I see korean girls with blonde hair and sharp nose dancing and singing in American streets, American cafe shops, American school gyms, American sports arenas, American suburb houses, American supermarkets, American parties, American swimming pools, American dining rooms, American parking lots, American highways.
They're dancing in Korean places and American places. You think South Korean cities should look like the destitute North Korean cities or the rural Chinese countryside? If you think that's the case, then you probably don't know that the Korean war ended in 1953 and the South never looked back since as their economy rocketed off to the stratosphere.
@@morningcalmrisingsun IT SHOULD LOOK MORE KOREAN AND LIKE KOREAN COUNTRYSIDE...we want to know about KOREAN TRADITIONAL CULTURE NOT AMERICAN. Stop simping the American...even your English accents is American wtf??? All other Asian nation have their own English accent but when Korean speak English they tried so hard to duplicate American accents xD. Korea should learn from India, Malaysia, Singapore who all know English and have their own accents.
Why does China sell hamburgers?There is no such thing as original in China.Culture is gained through exchange.The origin of Kung Fu is India.Chinese ceramics gained a lot from the Middle East.
I read somewhere that the 'Japanese' Sushi has its origin in China as well. It was a quick meal prepared during a specific time in China. Check that out. Also, the so-called umami flavor discovered by the Japanese has been known in China for centuries. A lot of Chinese food has umami flavors.
ive never heard of origin of sushi. but the point is that it was widely eaten and common food which could symbolize the Edo culture. which could symbolize japan for western people. Almost every food has umami. just a jap guy proved it scientifically.
Well said! Thank you for this logical discussion. Unfortunately the same people who are sinophobic or Japan/Korean fans will never spend the time to listen...
Well done! I'm very impressed with the dept of knowledge from young people like you. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to correct these misdeeds being manufactured by the so-called developed world.
This is cultural genocide, isn't it? But it's not called that because it's being carried out by the Empire's barking underlings. Same as is happening in Gaza.
100% fact right there. It's despicable because they're so biased and dictate what is and isn't theirs because they have more soft power on the world due to American power and Kpop being famous and also Japanese Anime and technology.
Last evening, I was dining out in a Chinese restaurant. A couple of blonde girls came in. Disclaimer: I'm not biased against blondes. LOL. One girl told the waiter that she wanted Korean tea. The waiter was more than puzzled. After the girl repeated her request, the waiter figured she wanted tea. Yeah, blonde girls.
Thank you for your great video. We are one of those people who have to correct video uploaders who often copy videos from Chinese social media and disguising them as Korean or Japanese. Of course, South Korea and Japan are just like provinces of China, but these uploaders are criminals, first cheating and plagiarizing content and then not only not giving credit to the original creators but also deliberately changing its place of origins, and of course, these videos are great videos and so they end up greatly monetizing them.
In order to cover up the fact of stealing Chinese culture, South Korea even changed the country's language and characters, as well as the name of their capital of korea。Han cheng is the former name of the capital of South Korea。Han is one of the 56 ethnic groups in China。
On TH-cam, many Korean Vietnamese uploaders add Chinese or Vietnamese songs to Chinese videos, and then disguise the videos as Korean or Vietnamese videos through left and right mirror modifications
Koreans are not interested in Chinese culture or China itself at all. I don't know what they say, but China actually steals a lot. All Chinese people watch all the K-dramas illegally without paying a penny, copy all the Chinese TV programs, etc. In the meantime, even in the industry, all home appliances such as Samsung semiconductors and LG TV washing machines have been taken out from Korean companies and stolen... etc., and you don't know that Korea is divided because of China's invasion. Korea, for example, says that China originates from China. Many Chinese foods, including jajangmyeon, are recognized as Chinese. But it is also said that kimchi and hanbok originated in China. It already says in the history books that Chinese and Korean clothes are different. And didn't you know that more than 300,000 people invaded us during the Sui Dynasty in the past, and almost all of them were exterminated and wiped out? China has never invaded the Korean Peninsula. But how can Korea become a provincial province of China? It is a different country historically. And Korea is different from Japan. Japan has truly grown from the Baekje culture of Korea. And culture is interchangeable with each other, not one side is unilaterally influenced.
Love this video from you guys! Such an important topic, I see it a lot on tiktok and every time I try to comment about it but sadly some people will never learn
I don't mind or care about adopting culture from other nation. but the most important is just acknowledge the fact as it is ,not distorting it to make yourself feel better. Not everyone can admit the fact,you need a lot of bravery.
KARA-TE is literally means Chinese Hand/Fist. Meanwhile Taekwondo was invented in 1950s in South Korea to replace KARATE, by Korean Karatedo black belt with modification. Origami, bonsai, sakura cherry blossoms flower, etc. Ramen, jjajangmyeon, soba noodles, cold noodles, all of noodles are originated from China. That's why Udon and Ramen shop in Japan called themselves Chinese resto, just like jjajangmyeon in Korea sold by Chinese food resto, they called it themselves. Simple google search should be enough.
@@version4225 that actually sounded weird to me too but all the rest are from China. Like Ramen, Bonsai, jjajangmyeon, Sun Goku, Saiyuki, chopsticks, hanji, Zen, calligraphy, etc. etc.and even part of Japanese own ancestors, so be thankful, Japan. And say sorry!
All you need to know to understand everything is look at the all of history for 1000s of years. China fed civilization to Korea, Korea fed Japan. It was passed on to the third degree.
Recently I attended a traditional Korean painting class, the korean teacher gave some brief history of traditional korean painting, and she did say about the influence from the chinese.
Good teacher don't twist or hide facts.
aber koreaner bversteht es nicht, Sie sagen umgekehrt
just because the original influence did come from another culture does not mean that the latest version is inferior to the original, in fact, it is usually a better suited version for that particular location or situation. this adaptation should be encouraged for all people so that there will be more to be enjoyed by all. only the narrow minded will always hide behind stale and rigid structures or forms that over time also become lifeless instead of vibrant.
@@johntse8655lol no way the Korean adaptation of ink painting is in any way shape or form superior to the Chinese version. And Korea literally made no change or improvement whatsoever comparing to the original Chinese techniques. Then they had the audacity to tell the world the exact techniques are “traditionally Korean”.
But in fact, most of koreans didnt recognize their culture comes from Chinese, and spare no effort in cultural appropriation.@@johntse8655
@@JT-dd9fi do not misunderstand, there is really no need to compare superior or not in art, as they say, imitation is a form of praise and endorsement, but in true art, a modified version is yet another additional form of the art. they are not wrong to say that the techniques are traditional in nature as long as they did not say that they are the original version. in fact, everyone around the world should do a version of whatever they feel passionate about and therefore enrich the world. only narrow-minded closed hearted people are so prickly about pure this and pure that, they forgot that everything in their culture was once upon a time also modified from other cultures, even the form of government by most countries come from somewhere else, why don't they harp about that?
A lot of people think the Go game is a Japanese game but the truth is it is a Chinese game called Weiqi（围棋） in Chinese. The game was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago

@@cmaven4762 Chinese chess and Chinese Go are two different games. I personally prefer Chinese chess.

Even the word "tea" is Chinese. It came from Hokkien "teh" whereas in other Chinese known as "cha".
I also have learned about how tea was called around the world back then due to where it was traded, traded from canton called cha, from hokkien called teh .
I didn’t know that that kinda cool
I think it comes first from the interaction between the latin speaking European and hokkien teochew Chinese. It came to my first realization when I was learning Spanish and found it the exact same pronunciation as tea in teochew. Then I was in a museum in my hometown Swatow and found out there was a teochew merchant who was sold to America or mexico(I forgot which one ) as labor and learned Spanish and English. The man was so fluent in English and Spanish that later when he returned to China, he became an unofficial diplomat for helping communication between Europeans and the Chinese officials. I forgot his name, I will update it once I found it when I am back to that museum in my hometown
We also called it cha in Thai
@@VisibleMRJ that's interesting as I thought Thais had such close relationship with teochew Chinese, it would adopt "Te",hokkien and teochew region pronunciation, as its pronunciation but instead Thai adopted mandarin pronunciation.
China was the epitome of civilisation in the East for thousands of years influencing the Korean, Japanese and Indo-Chinese culture, traditions and linguistic.

Korea was a Satellite kingdom of ancient China, paying tributes to the Chinese Emperor in terms of gold and silver
TRUE!
honestly, not just korea, but the rest of the world as well...just look up china's ancient invention, you'd be surprise how long the list is and how many things were actually first invented by china
These foods have nothing to do with Korea. They only have 10 years of influence on Korea, but Korea still says it is their culture.
Bonsai is most definitely Chinese, it originated in the Chinese empire by 700AD and was later adopted by Japan. All of Asia adopted Chinese ideals of beauty and governance until the European colonizers came and blew it all away with violence and war.
_"... All of Asia..."_
You mean all of East Asia.
There is most likely SOME influence in other parts of Asia and maybe the world, but not as much as in East Asia.
well japanese kneeling is also from china.... back then every officials had to kneel to the emperor.... mostly the emperor would "grant seat" to the officials.... those seats were not typical chairs but a small wooden block or cushion to rest the butt on so the legs n knees would not take the full weight of the body and then goes numb after..... so when the emperor did not grant the seat.... the officials knew they fxxked up on their duties..... and the Japanese copy it but kind of missing the whole concept.....

I have known all this for a long time, no matter how the media promotes it, but as a person who specializes in the history of East Asia and Southeast Asia, my colleagues and I are very aware of the importance of Chinese history in East Asia and Southeast Asia. I can basically say that more than half of the history of East Asia and Southeast Asia revolves around China. The influence of Chinese culture on East and Southeast Asia is no less than the influence of Rome on the West. From architecture to clothing to language, culture and festival customs, China is almost the blueprint for the entire East Asia. Of course, this is not surprising. After all, Chinese civilization is one of the oldest existing civilizations, and the Chinese are also one of the most successful ethnic groups in history.

its funny how people are so quick to call out "cultural appropriation" but feel that it's okay to rebrand a lot of culturally significant chinese things as japanese or korean. Even when some of these things are hundreds or thousands of years old. It's essentially telling me that my culture isnt "good enough" on it's own. And thank you for making this video, I don't see enough (or anyone) on western social media talking about this.
I usually think the word cultural appropriation is overused, especially in situations where it just isn't actual cultural appropriation, but when it does legitimately happen people just don't care. It's very frustrating for sure
western hypocrisy...seems like we can see it everywhere in the media in the world right now...as long as it came from their allies and their nations its ok good, but as soon as it came from their enemies or rivals even thought its the same stuff then its a no no...look at what happen to the Palestinian and how the west and israhell are doing to them?
People have to realize the "thing" that gets passed down (culture) is never in a vacuum, it changes within in the county, between countries and then within the recipient country itself especially if the thing that gets passed down happened hundreds or thousands of years ago. The word "rebranding" is a really a misnomer.
@@morningcalmrisingsun there’s some truth to what you say… it’s alright for a country to take something, adapt it and call it their too, esp it if has been passed down for hundreds and thousandthousands of years of years. But also acknowledge that most of everything that is Korean or Japanese that is traditional culturally speaking comes from China. Korean and Japanese culture was built primarily upon and from Chinese culture.
@@Alasterius41I would disagree with "most" and is very debatable with many other things. But I think it's common knowledge that the Lunar Year, fireworks, Hanzi writing system etc for example are Chinese origin. Buddhism, Western clothing, anything based on electronics, western building archtecture etc which all Asian nations use including China should be acknowledged too of their origins if you want this to be fair.. And believe it not there's a large body of cultural traditions and inventions that do not have Chinese origins in these Asian nations.
Most people do not know that the symbols in the Korean flag incorporated the Chinese Taoist symbols. Taoism originated in China with the elements of Yin-Yang, the 8 Trigrams, Lo-Shu diagrams and Lao Tzu's philosophy dating back from the Shang/Zhou dynasty.
Also originate from China are Gomoku chess (围棋），Tea （茶道），Acupunture, architecture style. Years ago karate Gojuru went to Shaolin to admit they are from China (认祖归宗）。

Another misconception is about Kiwifruit being native to New Zealand. It was known as Chinese gooseberry in China and has been grown there for centuries. The seeds were brought to New Zealand in the early 20th century and successfully cultivated and grown commercially.

The blueprint of Japanese and Korean cultures and architecture are from China.
and Vietnam😂
Japanese and Korean "traditional" architecture are real Chinese architecture (different dynasties architectural styles).
The Chinese character " 華 " represents " China/Chinese(Han) ", and the image of " 華 " is a logo of Chinese architectural wood structure, which is the unique architectural style of China. It represents the extent of the power and influence of ancient China.
Japanese "traditional" architecture was replicated by the Chinese Tang Dynasty architecture (black roof). Many buildings were replicated at the time of Chinese Tang Dynasty architecture (simple version) at that time. It was almost the same.
In the Ming Dynasty of China, it was in charge of Korea's territory and regime. It was a Chinese architecture built by colonial Korea (it was created by the technical guidance of the Chinese), and it was by no means Korean "traditional" architecture.
In ancient Korea, there was no such complex architectural technology. Korea's local traditional architecture was a cottage built by grass.
Many western cultures have some relation with Roma or Greece.
That is fact and everybody knows.
And also everybody knows that every western countrys have their own culture or their own tradition, and this fact is also everybody around the world knows.
What happened during the Cultural Revolution in China is totally distraction of traditional Chinese culture by Chinese government, CCP.
So no wonder why you don't see many chinese culture these days every where because Chinese destroyed Chinese culture by their own.
So some of Chinese students or professor would come Japan to research old Chinese stuff.
When you think about chinese old culture or traditional things, it's also necessary to think about Chinese Cultural Revolution and how that event worked, I guess.

As the late and great Anthony Bourdain once said, "Even if you've never had Chinese food, you've had Chinese food. Everything from noodles to pasta to ketchup to ice cream had their origins in Chinese cuisine. Yes, ice cream. Chinese chefs in the Tang dynasty mixed ice with goat milk and honey, with a touch of salt to keep it from freezing solid, then added camphor - the vanilla of the time - for flavor. Basically, 'vanilla ice cream.
Are u serious? Even If chinese people had a form of ice cream, the European version didn't get their inspiration from china.
Logo graphics writing was invented in first in Egypt. Does that mean china didn't invented its owne version?
@@CaliforniaDreams-eb8sx The key iss communication: there was little contact between East and West 4000-5000 years ago when China first developed its writing system, so it's unlikely they were inspired by the Egyptians. 800 years ago? Sure, there was lots of communication. You had the Silk Road, and many Persian and Italian travelers and merchants, not just Marco Polo, wrote about Chinese products and often brought them over. Noodles, sauerkraut, paper money, silk. tt's possible if not likely that word of an exotic sweet ice milk treat reached the Middle East and then the West, just like so many other things.
At any rate, my point was that the Chinese came up with a lot of common things long before most other peoples, and ice cream is one example. Yet they rarely get credit.
there's a difference between fucking noodles and ice cream lmao. Don't get ahead of yourself now. Honestly insane how you consider them to be creators of ketchup when the ingredient wasn't even in china.
@@xuan3236 LMAO no YOU don't get ahead of yourself. I don't 'consider' them the creators of ketchup; *HISTORIANS* do. So go ahead and call The National Geographic 'insane'. In their article "How Was Ketchup Invented?" they explain the 'Hokkien Chinese' origins of ketchup. Another article: "The Cosmopolitan Ingredient: An Exploration of Ketchup's Chinese Origins" by Dan Jurafsky at Slate. So ketchup's Chinese, right down to the word. Don't get ahead of yourself until you learn some history; and realize your ignorance.
Which is obvious when you say "the ingredient". For ketchup was considered 'ketchup' long before it was made with tomato products; even in the West, it was first made with mushrooms and the tomato sauce version came 100 years later. Wikipedia says: "The unmodified term ("ketchup") now typically refers to tomato ketchup,[1] although early recipes for various different varieties of ketchup contained mushrooms, oysters, mussels, egg whites, grapes or walnuts." The term might come from the Cantonese keh jiap which means 'tomato sauce'; through the Spanish galleon trade, the Chinese got tomatoes but they had a jelly-like sweet-sour sauce known as ketchup long before. But the term probably comes from Fujianese word Koeh-chiap which refers to a jelly-like sweet brine-based sauce.
As for noodles and ice cream being different, what's your point? In both cases, the earliest food that can be considered noodles or ice cream did come from China; dessicated noodles were discovered in Chinese gravesites over 2,000 years old. Through the Silk Road, Arab and Italian travelers learned of and wrote about exotic foods, which is how they inspired Middle Eastern and Western versions.
oh yeah well said. we can talk about Aristotle and Platon were raising in Greece around the same time of Confucius and Laozi and yes there aren't much communications between. But Japan really came to China to take cultural stuff to Japan. Like material stuff, books and other stuff. Under Tang. So yeah, cases are a bit different. But this is a nice one, the Tang ice cream 👍
You showed the world the truth about Chinese Culture which is not common knowledge in the West nor widely acknowledged. Well done!

근거없는 허구의 사실!
I’m surprised nothing was mentioned about China’s cultural revolution during the 60s and 70s which is greatly responsible for the destruction of so much original Chinese culture and religion. Even today nearly 75% of residents of China practice no religious belief. This is so sad for the birthplace of Taoism and Buddhism which even when practiced in China are required to uphold China’s communist leadership.
The analogy with Rome I think is a good one..except for the obvious fact that unlike Rome, China is still around and kicking as a unified entity.
Of course but it is also a very different China today. Some could argue that the tradition of many things like hanfu died out in Qing and was revived after prc was established
More like Greco-Roman because Rome got influenced by Greek culture. And Hanzi (called Kanji in Japanese, Hanja in Korean and Chu Han in Vietnamese) is like Latin to the Romance languages, except Hanzi is still a living language while Latin is mostly dead except in Vatican and Catholic Churches.
If you find why the punician wars are named like that, you will understand whose region influence the rest and establish cultures and countries wherever they settle, from Greece to iberia ... they're the real china of the west.
Although China’s influence over Korea is even more recent than Rome’s influence of Europe. The transitional clothing for men you see in Korean historical dramas these days are literally the same as Ming dynasty style clothing - which is only 600 years ago.
the difference from the Roman one might be the humbleness. The ability of respecting nearby cultures even much smaller than itself. Ironically that's why China gets bullied so much. Because you know, the world nowadays is ruled by the fact: speaks louder who is stronger and more violent 😂
There's a video on China Uncensored - a reliably anti-China channel - called 'The Genius of Japanese Carpentry'. It's about how the Japanese build tall pagodas without nails. Funny thing is, the Japanese completely copied this from the Chinese! In fact, Japanese temple architecture is basically Tang dynasty (Chinese) architecture.
China built the greatest man-made structure in the world; namely, the Great Wall of China, even before Japanese and Koreans were able to build anything solid.
The history of shrines and high floor dwelling is older than that of temples.
it is called榫卯in china☹️☹️
That china uncensored channel is funded by NED (a CIA front)
Japan's architecture never moved past the Tang era, they just kept using it centuries after
Hanbok is definitely not from China.
Rather Korean clothes were popular in Yuan and Ming dynasty of China, and it's called 高麗樣 which means Korean style.
Their government banned this fever because they thought it was threat to their identity.(which means they already knew it's not theirs)
And now, we can easily notice the same thing is going on these days.

It seems to me that the majority of Koreans and Vietnamese are in denial of their past connection with rhe Chinese culture. They were the vassal estates of China a long time ago and naturally adopted Chinese culture and writing. It shows that they are not confident and proud about their past.
Korea and Vietnam were not just vassal states, but they were actually part of China. As for the Japanese, except for the minority aborigines, like Burakumins, Ainus, etc. (just like the aborigines in Taiwan province) their ancestors were from China, and DNA tests prove it. The one key milestone was when Xufu (Jofuku) went over to the eastern islands of Japan together with 5000 boys and 5000 girls to find the elixir of life for Emperor Qin Shihuang of China dring the Qin Dynasty. It was said that he became the first emperor of Japan. The Japanese themselves never denied it. The Japanese people are just like many Chinese Thais or Chinese Indonesians (and even Chinese Filipinos) who have changed their names.
Western power influenced them to hate on everything related to China. Instead of looking for similarities between them, they're looking for what differentiates them. Japan & S.Korea fell for Divide & Conquer trick.
China is the sphere of influence in the East, India also was a major sphere of influence in Asia, especially in South East Asia. Being dominated by one great power doesnt mean they dont have their own unique culture and language that is completely different to Chinese. China alone have many ethic groups and language. Does China reject their subjugation under the Mongols or do they embrace it? Vietnamese or Korea or Japanese dont reject what Chinese contribute to civilization, they embrace it. What sovereign nations dont like is others projecting their dominance over them. South Korea and Japanese these days have no real culture, they are just USA lapdogs or vassals.
Vietnam and Korea are each divided into two groups: Anti-China and neutral. 'Divide and Conquer' has proven to be an effective war tactic.
Zen Buddhism is Chinese in origin, not Japanese.
In the West, a lot of Casinos and gambling organisations use '888' in their names without knowing why.
Lifts and buildings don't have a fourth floor. The origin of this is Chinese superstition.
In Vietnam, they still greet people with,"Have you eaten?" Again, Chinese in origin.
According to the BBC's History of Japan, Japan had no writing system before it adopted Kanji (Han writing).
REISCHAUER & FAIRBANK's EAST ASIA: THE GREAT TRADITION describes the cultural heritage these East Asian counties owe China.
I would never assume that the Chinese stole anything from Japan or Korea. The trend has always been in the other direction, with China being looked at as the cultural leader in the entire Eastern region, the way France was looked at for wine and fashion in the past.
However my interest in Chinese culture and history began before all the Kpop and anime exploded onto the world scene.
For me it's the same. I was so curious about Chinese history and culture when I was very young. Later, I was introduced to the other cultures. I studied in Japan where I'd get introduced to kpop but China stayed a country I was curious to learn more about
Japan's influence on China is reflected in lacquerware, Japanese Hand fan, A Lazy Susan in a Chinese restaurant, Chinese tunic suit-Mao suit, Country name, Japanese two-character idiom, three-character idiom, Jogging suits of school and so on and on... It was brought from Japan.

China is the Ancient Rome of the East, the only difference is it's still existing today. Europeans have centuries of claims of their own respective country as the descendant of the Romans because having that claim shows the prestige they have compared to other "barbarians". In the East, you can't do that because that culture you wish to claim to own is always there clearly owned by someone you envy for centuries, so the only thing you can do is slowly claiming part of the culture as yours instead of acknowledging the greatness of that culture and embracing it and that will be integrating others cultures into yours to make yourself feels greater and better.
The reason Chinese people start hating Koreans as being a culture-stealer because before the "Korean" tanghulu trend started worldwide, ROK actually tried a lot of times registering Chinese-originated cultures as their own in UNESCO. That sparked a lot of hate towards them in China and led to more attention towards cultural heritage by the Chinese, which is part of the reason why Hanfu is getting more and more trendy.

Well it has a lot to do with modern history and communism...that ideology itself is western, communism and Karl Marx is westerners so a lot of Asian country that hate communism had no choice but detach themselves from China. When China was not a communist country all other nation in Asia especially south east asian were proud to call China as their friend and allies and freely embrace Chinese culture that they see fit and have a very thigh relation with China. But after the revolution and communism many Asian countries had to choose the west to look up to because they think China has lost its cultural roots because of communism. If China is not a communist nation and became a democratic capitalist instead and the communist revolution failed i can see that most Asian countries will look up to China and stop pandering to the west. Chinese in mainland china need to get back to their roots including religious roots and cultural roots. Without it China will always seen as just another communist nation like any others. Look at Russia now, after they kick the communist now many other nation and westerners are actually more keen to learn about their culture and to be on their sides even thought the west NATO is traying their best to demonized them. china need a serios international rebranding of its image.

Sure, but it doesn't matter if it's not originally from Korea. Korea adopted them and added their own spin on them and they've become distinct from the original version. Like how American sushi and pizza have become totally different from Japanese sushi and Italian pizza.
@@deekay13 my statement is based on originality. Im not talking about spinoffs.
@@naivoj122 Sure, but if a spinoff becomes popular that doesn't take away from the original. For instance Korean street toast is a popular street food item but neither Koreans nor foreigners would claim that toast/sandwiches originated in Korea. Koreans got sandwiches from Americans, who got it from Europeans. Yet neither Americans or Europeans mind the Korean spinoff.
People nowadays are driven so much by geopolitical rivalries, emotions and hypes to the point that rational thinking and respectful dialogues are nearly nonexistent. I'm glad to have found your channel that is such a breath of fresh air in an otherwise very polluted media airway.
I'm very happy to hear you enjoy our channel 😊
It always has been like this, everything is political.
Polluted country, you mean.
Just a joke, I agree with your overall point. :)
Love your clear explanations and rich examples❤. Nice video ~
Glad you liked it 😊
You not only discussed the phenomena, but also touched on the core of the problem👍
I would love to see this topic brought up more on western social media, Chinese netizens are fully aware of these "thefts" or cultural erasure abroad. And it's become a very sad and frustrating thing to deal with. We don't need other people to "mansplain" our own culture to us. Matcha is quite literally another one of these things. China invented matcha when powdered tea was popular hundreds of years ago, then Chinese people moved onto whole tea leaves. While the Japanese adopted the matcha tea, as their preferred type.
Which dynasty was it?

It is disgusting and shameless to take orher culture and make it as your own. Your channel is underrated. Keep up with the good work
misappropriation is the least of their sins. afterward, they invade you,kill your people, rape your women,steal your treasures, unleashed biological warfare. after defeated, and under the protection of a hegemon that nuked them, continued the hating and maligning the chinese people.the worse part is that a lot of traitorous chinese adores them.
Paper making, printing process, paper money were originated in China, so they were becoming Chinese traditions. But they were adopted all over the world because every nation need paper, paper money and printing process. Are they all disgusting???
You are totally wrong, unfortunately. There is no shame in cultural appropriation, not at all. Cultural appropriation happens every day and every minute, naturally, and since it often goes both ways, a lot of things, including cultural practices, never clearly belong to only one country. If you feel obligated to object to other cultures' appropriation of Chinese culture, please first look at yourself to see how many things you wear or put on your body and how much of your entire being are non-Chinese.

Thanks Julie that you are so knowledgeable about China and it is about time that the real origin all those things you’re mentioned especially the Bonsai ( Westerners think it’s a Japanese thing ) . Japan had gotten lots of culture influenced from China!!!
Glad you enjoyed the video. I honestly just have a lot of fun learning about history and culture. I'm a bit ashamed that I didn't know bonsai came from China myself before we talked about it
many anime are based on Chinese ancient novels. Dragon ball's Goku took inspiration from the monkey king story. Saiyuki also. Once I mentioned it on my facebook. I just said there is a connection, even praising their re-creating ability, but felt how people were opposing to my revelation, thinking that I was telling something weird. Such an up-side down world
I think you are Danish, so Danish history is Swedish history and everything in Denmark is invented in Sweden?
Thank you for telling more people around the world in this way that these are actually Chinese culture😭♥️Chinese culture has a long history of 5,000 years. We welcome people all over the world to carry out positive cultural exchanges and innovation, but we will never tolerate the misappropriation of our culture by others.
Even the Chinese New Year is recently being rebranded as (Korean) Lunar New Year. It’s ridiculous. And people from the west actually buy it🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, we actually did make a video over on station B talking about a Danish article where the author said it was wrong to call it Chinese new year
非常少，不过我们的老师教导我们说农历新年，不过农历新年翻译过来就是Chinese New Years，很多国外人可能不认同吧
weil koreaner irgendwie nicht glauben wollen das lunar jahr chinesisch ist, Sie sind rasist geworden, früher nicht
@@deepestsleeep Then don't fucking call it Lunar New Year! We call it Chinese New Year in South East Asia where there are tons of Chinese. Chinese invented the lunisolar CALENDAR and it's also used in Vietnam. Btw when I wished happy new year to my Vietnamese friends, I'd just wish them "Happy New Year". And btw learn how to spell "calender" yeah?
@@deepestsleeep It has nothing to do with who invented the moon. No one invented the moon. It’s irrelevant. Based on your reply, my guess is you don’t even know the difference between lunar calendar and lunisolar calendar. They are different. You are confusing them with each other. Lunar calendar is Islamic, lunisolar calendar is Chinese. If you want to call it Lunar New Year, you should base the festival on Islamic calendar (lunar calendar), no problem. But the truth is, your so-called “Lunar New Year” is based on lunisolar calendar (Chinese calendar), then it’s wrong. You are taking Chinese culture and making it your own, then accuse Chinese of stealing your culture. It’s just wrong and it makes no sense. People who call it “Lunar New Year” (based on lunisolar calendar) are trying so hard to delete the fact that it’s actually Chinese New Year. It’s a pathetic attempt to erase the Chinese cultural influence.
Btw, when you said “most civilisations”, what you really meant is the western world and pro-west client regimes. They are only 13% of the entire population on earth, and they are definitely not the majority. The ACTUAL most civilisations call it Chinese New Year as it should be.
Dragon ball is inspired by the story originated from Journey to the West a well known literature in China. Same thing with Romance of the Three Kingdoms that is the history of China. It gets retold or re branded into something else by nearby nations and sold as their IP. There are plenty plenty more things like these being presented to people in the west which is originated by China but due to westerner's lack of knowledge of east Asia and their culture especially China, many get the wrong impression of where it comes from.
Thinks about it, China is a major power in east Asia in ancient time. It has gone through many many dynasties ruled by kings and queens, is impossible it has no influence in the surrounding small countries. It is simply their culture get re banded or retold by nearby nations allied with the west, so it can be sold to the most population for maximum profit, even to those who are ignorance, in denial or having bias of China. 😂 Even some western films use technique that is originated from China, most of these things are being masked due to political stands.
They take, and then they put copyright 😂 think about the paper, the gunpowder, the seismograph and the printing technic.. think about if we put a copyright on these inventions and then ask them to pay us back for thousands years of cultural appropriation .. 😉
yep. Chinese should thank Japan.
It was the Chinese who destroyed the Chinese culture, etc. China enjoy the destruction of traditional buildings and religion.
This video was excellent and in a subtle way, actually very powerful. As a Chinese American, I have obviously observed the well-orchestrated red scare in our society. When a country, culture, or civilization is mischaracterized and lied about, it erases its identity and significance while creating mistrust and even hatred.
Thank you for shining the light on the truth. This video should be widely shared.
Cheers from California

Very well said and I totally agree with you!
I think it started as anti-CCP feelings, and escalated into full-blown revisionist history by Koreans and people online, especially the last 10 years as Korean culture has become popular, a lot of misinformation is read online

Thanks for watching ❤️
The powdered green tea you're referring to is called matcha, and it's also Chinese. It originates from the Southern Song. They made the tea into a powder because it's easier to transport overseas in that form.
She is not referring to matcha, although matcha is originally Chinese too (matcha is a powder not crumbs). She is talking about the tea you buy in the West in general in the supermarkets etc. The powdered crumbs that she is referring to is the "tea dust" in tea bags as broken tea leaves and stems ground into small particles. In China if you get tea you will get the actual loose-leaf tea.
Fantastic video thank you for sharing your views and insights very well researched and presented with a high degree of balanced understanding 👍

Denmark is not a country. They are just one of German provinces
Also the japanese gyoza come from the chinese raviolis (tiao tse), not the contrary.
The sinophobia is well and alive in the western countries, especially since they are feeling their hegemony is more and more threatened by China.
Sashimi was eaten in China during Zhou Dynasty, called as yukuai 鱼脍, around 823 B.C.
We (America) are not threatened by China, we just don't like the CCP. Btw, if you want to continue to discuss what was created by China, why don't you mention Covid-19? I mean it was one of the biggest inventions by the Chinese that impacted the world.
@@kalemene8901you may not be threatened, but your government sure is, that’s why you are brainwashed by your government to be a sinophobia😉
But honestly speaking, Japanese call gyoza 中華料理, which means Chinese cuisine in Japanese. Japanese in general speaking do credit the original of a lot of stuff their ancestors learned from China, unlike Korean.
Are you brainwashed by capitalism? In fact, Covid-19 was caused by the United States and brought to China through the Wuhan Universiade.You're ridiculous. It's like you're isolated from the world and haven't seen the news

The Spaniards were the first to trade tea from China Fujian province. The local Minnian dialect for tea it "de", or Spanish "te"... And then the English called "te" tea.... So technically "te" or later "tea" were actually derived from the Minnian dialect. ;)
Unfortunately, Japanese and Korean people have a negative "bias" towards China and its people. There are 56 ethnic minorities living in China with one of them being Korean who migrated across the Yalu River from North Korea. The Japanese population migrated to Manchuko during the invasion of the Northeast region of China by Japan and have remained in the area renamed as Manchuria. The style of clothing from Japan to Korea are adaptations of the Chinese Hanfu over thousands of years. Western countries, Japan, and Korea think that the Chinese Cheongsam as representation of the Chinese dress when actually it is the Hanfu. The Cheongsam originated in Shanghai during the Republican Era and WW2. Each dynasty made changes to the Hanfu and thus the reason for the different look and style.
I think it's important to preface that chaoxianzu are not just north korean. Their ancestors come from all parts of the peninsula
@@jiayiandjulieinchina I’m aware of that fact. Korean people migrated into China prior to the Korean War and many were living in Northeast China for over 100+years. As such the integration of cuisine and culture.
Sometimes I think they purposefully use cheongsam as representation as an insult. There's no way they don't know hanfu is actual Chinese clothing by now.
@@priscillaferguson267 If you want to go back further into history, much of the northeastern part of China for all intent and purposes were Korean territories. Koguryeo a Korean kingdom and Balhae a kingdom ruled by former Koguryeo elites had hegemony over greater parts of northern China since 37 Bc to 668 AD, and then Balhae 698 to 926 AD. Gojoseon and Buyeo, even more ancient Korean kingdoms were present in that area since 1126 BC and 2nd century BC respectively. Of course, after 926 AD, it has been 1100 years ago but you can argue that "Korean" blood has been in the populace long before the "new" immigration of Chaoxianzu during the late 19th century. Many more moved out of the peninsula as soon as Japan annexed Korea in 1910. Some of those Koreans became freedom fighters and often fought alongside the Chinese against the Japanese in the late 1930's until the end of the war.
Yes, China was great in the past, but now it is the most hated country in the world. I don't want to get involved.
Ramen noodle is from China.
Funny story, the way you hear about Ramen you'd think the Japanese took it from Chinese 1000 years ago. No it was invented by Chinese Chefs in Japan circa 1850 adapting Lamian.

I actually got this happening to me before. My male friend told me how him and my other guy friends would "rate" their female friends and they all thought I was Korean because they think I'm pretty, but I'm Chinese...
So they're both creepy, and racist?
It happens as South Korea became more developed in recent memory, resulting in its citizens having more time and money to devote more attention to their outward appearances. Generally as the country prosper, the more attractive their citizens will appear to be both outwardly and economically to others. Don't take such remarks too personally. Just focus on self improvement but not to the point of superficial and toxic like plastic surgery and excessive materialism. Spiritual, mental health is important as well.
@@s._3560yeah it happened to me too 10 years ago. However it does have something to do with the fact that a decade ago Chinese people didn’t dress as elegantly or didn’t put on make up and have nice skin compared to the Korean and Japanese counterparts. I mean back then even when I saw how my fellow Chinese people dress and present themselves I was face-palming so hard. But I think the big mistake people make is thinking that that’s always gonna be the case and cannot imagine Chinese people catching up so fast. Since in the west everything is pretty stagnant, no real improvements or change can be seen, whether it’s with people or with their society.
So the impression of Chinese people is kind of analogous to: if after 10 years Americans start to become thinner and healthier, so people start to auto assume them to be European. Unfortunately in the case of US that’s not happening anytime soon.
Your male "friend" is worthless trash, that is all
I find it so odd but also rating women is pretty antiquated so double yikes
There's an excellent book on the Silk Road and how it brought Chinese inventions and products to the west ... it's a treatise on how almost everything that is considered fundamental to western hegemony today, like the compass and gunpowder, had been invented and in use in China for hundreds, if not thousands, of years before Europeans began traveling the world. So people assuming things come from Korea or Japan wouldn't be that unusual.
Years ago, there was a Chinese exhibition in Victoria & Albert museum in London. There was a very old painting with ladies kicking a football!
Lol chinese didn't brought everything the west used to its hegemony, China invented some things sure but let's remember chinese thought the earth was flat till europeab missionaries teached them otherwise

and even our language, i once heard somebody said they think Japanese kanji are very beautiful, dude, it's hanzi not kanji! han(kan) means han ethnic, zi(ji) means characters. it's like saying French words in English sounds beautiful, of course, because they are French!
I don't think they are identical though? Or some of them probably are, but I remember when I studied japanese we had some chinese classmates that showed the differences between the two. They were similar but ultimately different.
Of course, kanji does originate from the chinese written language but they are not identical.
@@user-nt2qk6lz5k even American English is not identical to British English. the kanji(hanzi) used in Japanese nowadays also went through simplification, and some word changed meaning throughout history. like the word 汤tang, in ancient Chinese it means any kind of hot waters, in modern chinese it means soup, but in modern Japanese it means bath.
这个东西无解的，只有当中国拿到话语权以后才会有人注意到，在乎这些事情。不说这些，光是抗日战争里这么多罪行又有多少人知道呢？知道的人里又有多少人在乎呢，他们还是觉得日本人还是以前那种菊与刀的形象。说到前面这些太宏大和抽象，举例德国人把希特勒送进教堂称他为圣灵，然后总理和议员时不时去祭拜，问他们就说是去祭拜其他圣灵，大家觉得全世界会怎么看呢?换到日本靖国神社就都可以了。本质上是文明屠杀野蛮合理论（同时他们还有话语权可以定义谁是野蛮和文明），这可以合理化西方的殖民和种族灭绝，所以日本人也会用这套说自己只是战败了而已，我不过是做了其他列强都在做的事情。

2000多年前中國人到達日本後. 當地就有很多部落土著 (記錄就有100多個部落).
日本人主體是當地各種部落土著 (混血). 只有大約10%是漢人血統 (基因巳消失在歷史長河中). 而戰後日本. 也和很多西方人混血.
大約在唐朝時期. 日本島上其中一個較強土著民族吞佔了中國政權和中國宮殿後(包括所有中國書藉和商品). 連那些唐朝精英就被逼歸化成日本人 (當時中國巳無力救亡. 只好放棄倭國政權).
另外. 日本宣傳的歷史大部份很多是假的. 巳洗腦了很多人. 他們和韓國一樣不接受外國專家來研究(所以他們胡亂更改歷史. ). 因為一旦公開這些歷史祕密就會發現他們一直在造假歷史.
遣唐使是中國人. 非日本人 .
唐朝時期. 由倭國坐船回到中國那批遣唐使是秦朝遺民(隨行帶了一些倭島土著奴隸). 秦朝遺民向唐皇帝報告倭島情況(中國人生活. 土著風俗. 土著攻擊.....). 要求皇帝派遺大批中國精英(遣唐使)到倭島. 支援當地漢人部落(因為秦遺民最初是戰爭逃亡到東瀛. 資源和技術缺乏. 在倭島也只能當地取材建立漢族地域部落). 讓這些中國精英在倭島建設起正式中國政權和宮殿(這是中國人佔領的標誌做法). 以抗衡當地土著部隊.
中間相隔時間很久最少有70年(倭島海域非常兇險).
再次坐船回到倭國那批是唐皇帝派遣的漢族精英 (官員.學者, 樂師, 僧侶, 軍官. 士兵. 兵器師. 建築師. 各種技術人員......). 還有大量中國製商品和書藉.
這時期是中國唐朝文化在倭國爆發期.
秦朝遺民向唐皇帝報告倭島情況(中國人生活. 土著風俗. 土著攻擊.....). 要求皇帝派遺大批中國精英到倭島. 支援當地漢人. 在倭島建設起中國政權和宮殿. 以抗衡當地土著部隊.
因為日本是島國. 土著文化落後又十分封鎖. 只有吸收外來精英的技術為其所用才能強大. 那些中國唐朝精英(包括秦漢遺民後代)被逼和日本土著女子結合(組織家庭生兒育女). 將這些擁有大量學識和技術的中國精英人材留在宮殿中(要剃禿頭). 歸化成日本人(名字也要更改. ).
其他出逃的中國精英成為日本民間的遊民, 浪人, 忍者(建立起日本忍者組織. 伊賀甲賀...), 各種技術人材.........所以這些人大部份保留頭髮...

On the mark. We are annoyed that South Korea appropriates Chinese culture so often and claimed it was theirs🥲🥲Actually all of these are a part of chinese culture!
And the same can be said of CCP China who 'appropriates' Koreans as Chinese minority
Not only costumes and jewelry. I for one really think that Chinese people should bring back the Chinese traditional salute. It’s beautiful and very unique to China, like raising a cup of wine. It’ll show the world Chinese traditional civility is just as elegant as the European counterpart of handshakes and hugging.
Etiquette based on the order of superiority and inferiority does not need publicity
@@zen-mc4ju what? That salute is between peers, dear. It doesn’t require bowing either. The bowing is extra.
Did you know that the western handshake, technically came from hand kissing? You might as well say shaking hands is also a sign of superiority and inferiority. The person offers his/her hand would be in position of superiority and you receiving it inferiority, if you want to interpret it that way.
Which is silly.
That custom was removed to prevent hierarchical society from continuing to exist. In places like Korea and Japan you can see the negative effects of it continuing. Like you have to bow specific ways for older people, speak with different words. China removing that custom is honestly a good thing.
@@jiayiandjulieinchina I strongly disagree. First of all, the salute of raising your hands as if raising a cup of wine, with the back of your hands in front, does not require a bow, and it was used between peers and friends and regular greeting. Second of all, there is no evidence of the claim that bows, like those of Japanese, somehow negatively affect society, social or otherwise, we still do bows universally in formal situations, for example when we shake hands the western way. Thirdly, as I’ve mentioned in my reply to the other person, hand shaking came from the hand kissing ceremony predominantly, where offering a hand meant in formal situations, that you ask the person receiving it to kiss it. The kissing eventually was not required and it turned into an inclination of the head, which indicates a bow, and now we have this universally. So should we get rid of hand shaking as well?
And also by your logic, Hanfu came from feudalist China, that was btw, the logic the old communists used for why we shouldn’t be keeping any of these traditional Chinese heritages, because they remind us of feudalism and hierarchical society. Were they right then? Why Hanfu is okay but not the beautiful gesture of Chinese salute?
@@luceafarul579 You have said a lot, but they are all subjective feelings. But these were born with the ritual and music system of the Zhou Dynasty in Chinese history, and the essence of the ritual and music system is a hierarchical and ordered society. Japan and South Korea are still societies with a very serious hierarchical order to this day. There is no doubt that hierarchical order is reflected in all kinds of humble words and honorifics.
As for Hanfu, that’s another story. The Communist Party has never opposed tradition. Even during the Cultural Revolution, many articles by Confucius and Mencius were still included in textbooks. You can't confuse tradition with mechanisms that reinforce hierarchical order. If you really have a deep understanding of Chinese history, you will know that Confucianism has been transformed many times, and the direction of its transformation was to serve the needs of imperial rule.
Ketchup literally sounds like Kei (tomatoe) and Chap (sauce) in cantonese chinese . Fun fact
The word ketchup first appeared in the 17th century, and there were no tomatoes in it. Tomato based ketchup didn't appear until the 19th century.
The word is most likely influenced by Fujianese word kue-ciap (膎汁). The first Chinese that Westerners have significant trade and cultural exchange with were the sea-faring Fujianese community in Southeast-Asia, not the Cantonese.
There's a very good video about the history of Ketchup by The History Guy. You would find it quite interesting.

well yes its Ying yang originally. but in Korea its called taegeuk (official name for the korean symbol in their flag) but its derived from Yin yang. so technically yes its Chinese.
@@metalvideos1961 Bro that taegeuk is just a lame pronunciation of 太極/Taiji/Taichi. Hanzi character is always of single syllable like "Tai Ji" or "Yin Yang". South KR just minorly tweak the spelling in English characters and this is what they do every time.
@@Avaiabilitii i know but the fact still remains that they took their symbol from China.
@@metalvideos1961 that's true. they just take CN culture and K-label it. that's what they always do. you will notice that they k-label everything. nothing was originally from them. if they clarify the origin is CN then we don't give a sh*t. but now they are reversely accusing us this is ridiculous! For example the Chunjie/Chinese New Year is solely based on the Chinese agricultural solar-lunar calendar which is specifically designed for agriculture/farming of our CN land. They just know nothing about it but still steal it and claim it's their "traditional". this is so f kin hilarious because if their ancestor follow our agricultural calendar they can't grow anything properly because their weather is totally different to ours. they K-label everything in their vision
So what, Russian flag is western European monarchies symbol. In fact a horizontal rectangular piece of cloth as a falg is European tradition one of millions spread all around the world for good!
Also KPOP is a rebranding of American Culture. I've watched thousands of Kpop music videos and still have NO IDEA what Republic of Korea looks like, instead I see korean girls with blonde hair and sharp nose dancing and singing in American streets, American cafe shops, American school gyms, American sports arenas, American suburb houses, American supermarkets, American parties, American swimming pools, American dining rooms, American parking lots, American highways.
They're dancing in Korean places and American places. You think South Korean cities should look like the destitute North Korean cities or the rural Chinese countryside? If you think that's the case, then you probably don't know that the Korean war ended in 1953 and the South never looked back since as their economy rocketed off to the stratosphere.

I read somewhere that the 'Japanese' Sushi has its origin in China as well. It was a quick meal prepared during a specific time in China. Check that out. Also, the so-called umami flavor discovered by the Japanese has been known in China for centuries. A lot of Chinese food has umami flavors.
ive never heard of origin of sushi. but the point is that it was widely eaten and common food which could symbolize the Edo culture. which could symbolize japan for western people.
Almost every food has umami. just a jap guy proved it scientifically.
but japanese people definitely invented MSG tho
Actually sushi is not from China. They came from south east Asia.
Best Japanese invention behind hotpot@@lyhthegreat
@@lyhthegreat That is true. We all know it in China
Well said! Thank you for this logical discussion. Unfortunately the same people who are sinophobic or Japan/Korean fans will never spend the time to listen...
Thank you to both of you promoting the real truth of historical facts. Love watching your program, keep it up !!
Thanks for watching🌸
Well done! I'm very impressed with the dept of knowledge from young people like you. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to correct these misdeeds being manufactured by the so-called developed world.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
This is cultural genocide, isn't it? But it's not called that because it's being carried out by the Empire's barking underlings. Same as is happening in Gaza.
100% fact right there. It's despicable because they're so biased and dictate what is and isn't theirs because they have more soft power on the world due to American power and Kpop being famous and also Japanese Anime and technology.
Palestine actually meant jews
Islam derives a lot from judaism
@@templesol please cite your sources.
Last evening, I was dining out in a Chinese restaurant. A couple of blonde girls came in. Disclaimer: I'm not biased against blondes. LOL. One girl told the waiter that she wanted Korean tea. The waiter was more than puzzled. After the girl repeated her request, the waiter figured she wanted tea. Yeah, blonde girls.
Bimbo 😂
I really want to know what she thinks Korean tea is 😅
@@jiayiandjulieinchina that's like going to a french restaurant and asking for italian meatballs.
what is Korean tea anyway, like matcha or something, that is the vaguest name ever
Thank you for your great video. We are one of those people who have to correct video uploaders who often copy videos from Chinese social media and disguising them as Korean or Japanese. Of course, South Korea and Japan are just like provinces of China, but these uploaders are criminals, first cheating and plagiarizing content and then not only not giving credit to the original creators but also deliberately changing its place of origins, and of course, these videos are great videos and so they end up greatly monetizing them.
In order to cover up the fact of stealing Chinese culture, South Korea even changed the country's language and characters, as well as the name of their capital of korea。Han cheng is the former name of the capital of South Korea。Han is one of the 56 ethnic groups in China。
These divisions were designed by U$andUK to destabilize the region, just like they did in India between India, Pakistan and other neighbors
Yeah I see this a lot and have also corrected people on multiple occasions but it's a never-ending issue unfortunately
On TH-cam, many Korean Vietnamese uploaders add Chinese or Vietnamese songs to Chinese videos, and then disguise the videos as Korean or Vietnamese videos through left and right mirror modifications
Koreans are not interested in Chinese culture or China itself at all. I don't know what they say, but China actually steals a lot. All Chinese people watch all the K-dramas illegally without paying a penny, copy all the Chinese TV programs, etc. In the meantime, even in the industry, all home appliances such as Samsung semiconductors and LG TV washing machines have been taken out from Korean companies and stolen... etc., and you don't know that Korea is divided because of China's invasion.
Korea, for example, says that China originates from China. Many Chinese foods, including jajangmyeon, are recognized as Chinese. But it is also said that kimchi and hanbok originated in China. It already says in the history books that Chinese and Korean clothes are different. And didn't you know that more than 300,000 people invaded us during the Sui Dynasty in the past, and almost all of them were exterminated and wiped out? China has never invaded the Korean Peninsula. But how can Korea become a provincial province of China? It is a different country historically. And Korea is different from Japan. Japan has truly grown from the Baekje culture of Korea. And culture is interchangeable with each other, not one side is unilaterally influenced.
Love this video from you guys! Such an important topic, I see it a lot on tiktok and every time I try to comment about it but sadly some people will never learn
Thank you. Yeah, I've tried to comment as well, but it is truly like talking to a wall sometimes😅
I don't mind or care about adopting culture from other nation. but the most important is just acknowledge the fact as it is ,not distorting it to make yourself feel better. Not everyone can admit the fact,you need a lot of bravery.
KARA-TE is literally means Chinese Hand/Fist. Meanwhile Taekwondo was invented in 1950s in South Korea to replace KARATE, by Korean Karatedo black belt with modification.
Origami, bonsai, sakura cherry blossoms flower, etc.
Ramen, jjajangmyeon, soba noodles, cold noodles, all of noodles are originated from China. That's why Udon and Ramen shop in Japan called themselves Chinese resto, just like jjajangmyeon in Korea sold by Chinese food resto, they called it themselves. Simple google search should be enough.
@@version4225 just google it man
glaube deine erklärung würde koreaner nicht gut gefallen denn Sie hassen chinesen
@@version4225 that actually sounded weird to me too but all the rest are from China. Like Ramen, Bonsai, jjajangmyeon, Sun Goku, Saiyuki, chopsticks, hanji, Zen, calligraphy, etc. etc.and even part of Japanese own ancestors, so be thankful, Japan. And say sorry!
instead of taking out one mistake and making it huge in order to make yourself look batter. we call that 小人作派。
@@FreshWaterBrook. bro you could just type in the search engine bro ... LMAO
All you need to know to understand everything is look at the all of history for 1000s of years. China fed civilization to Korea, Korea fed Japan. It was passed on to the third degree.
