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.
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?
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 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)
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）。
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.
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.
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 👍
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.
China was the epitome of civilisation in the East for thousands of years influencing the Korean, Japanese and Indo-Chinese culture, traditions and linguistic.

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.
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.
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.
Korean ancient history books record that Korean culture and clothing originated from China. However, the problem is that ancient Korean historical documents were all written in Chinese, and now Koreans do not understand Chinese, so…
@@ChinaSongsCollectionlet the Korean have it all, the more Chinese cultures they want to claim as they own will be better for us. Maybe one day they will realise the Korean become Chinese.
Correct, South Korea only switched to the current style of writing only in the early 80's, most Korean scholars and highly educated Koreans still use Chinese Hanzi characters.
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.
@@jiayiandjulieinchina You seem to forget that cultural revolution happened Korea and japan are the inheritors of that culture You can't just discard a culture and then come claiming it back for relevance That's lowly

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.

@@yokane6011 Japan have been stealing culture from China for thousands of years before 1970, China simply give Japan ( and everyone else for that matter ) a taste of their own medicine. I say it's more than fair.
and ramen! originally(1940s), ramen was only sold in Japan in Chinese restaurants! and it's still a staple food in nowaday Chinese restaurant in Japan. it's crazy to think ramen is somehow Japanese food! it's like thinking pizza is a American food, or curry is a British food, only because they eat alot of those food.
Yes, it was initially called Chuka soba 中華そば when it was first brought to Edo Japan by Chinese immigrants. It’s an intentional effort of cultural genocide by Japan and USA with their massive pro Japan and anti China propaganda media and fake news and troll armies.

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.
Well, 90% of things that are so called popular from South Korea are not originally from Korea. Just look at their street food for example. Even the names of the food, they just made it sound abit different.
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.
For me between east Asians, South Korean the most inferior in term of looks & physical but the US prefer to markets their Kpop Culture because they're, docile, easier to control. 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. 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.
@user-OperationRabbit625 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?
@user-OperationRabbit625 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.

Chinese mushroom (Dong Gu or Shang Gu) aka Shiitake mushroom was first cultivated from China in 1206 AD during the Song Dynasty with 126 words of how to cultivate the mushroom. ) And now the West is saying Japanese mushroom.
that one is the most funny because when i taste japanese and chinese shitake both taste the same even thought the Japanese one are more expensive, i rather buy loads of the cheap Chinese one because its just the same mushroom xD
@@metalvideos1961 domisticate by chinese and The earliest written record of shiitake cultivation is seen in the Records of Longquan County (龍泉縣志) compiled by He Zhan (何澹) in 1209 during the Song dynasty in China.[8] The 185-word description of shiitake cultivation from that literature was later cross-referenced many times and eventually adapted in a book by a Japanese horticulturist Satō Chūryō (佐藤中陵) in 1796, the first book on shiitake cultivation in Japan.[9] The Japanese cultivated the mushroom by cutting shii trees with axes and placing the logs by trees that were already growing shiitake or contained shiitake spores.[10][11] Before 1982, the Japan Islands' variety of these mushrooms could only be grown in traditional locations using ancient methods.[12] A 1982 report on the budding and growth of the Japanese variety revealed opportunities for commercial cultivation in the United States.[13]
I'm Japanese, but I think the claims in this video are generally correct. Japan's emperor is an imitation of the Chinese emperor, Buddhism was introduced with Chinese translations of Buddhist scriptures, and the streets of Kyoto are an imitation of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. The Japanese understood the value of the various things brought from China, and even after they were forgotten in China, they preserved them with care, and made only a few changes. That's all Japan did.

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 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.
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.
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.
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.
So Japanese people a few hundred years ago startet to like matcha and made a whole thin around it inspired by chinese customs back than. It bacame such a huge paart of their culture that they still drink it everywhere and make tea ceremony about it in their own style. It became part of their culture whereas chines focused more on other part of their chinese tea culture. If you discared an idea and someone else picks it up making it their own thing and developing it in their style you cant really call it theft. Why not be happy someone lined your idea amd made something out of it.
thank you so much for making a video talking about this issue.❤ This has bothered me for the longest time, I am glad more people are noticing this and becoming more aware of the Sinophobia behind this.

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.

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.
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!
I have been watching Chinese dramas (from Hongkong back then) since the 1980s and thankfully, I understand that Chinese culture is so beautiful and indeed influence other East Asian countries. The rise of Kdramas just happened after all Chinese kungfu movies/dramas and they go international quickly and make it big maybe because they are more exposed to the US/west. They just market it better. But nowadays, Chinese dramas/movies have gained massive international fans as well.
@@morningcalmrisingsun i watched some too in the 90s, but there were more CN/HK/TW/JP dramas in my part of the world since the early 1980s - via free to air TV or VHS/Betamax.
@@augustmist So the proliference of Chinese dramas are not a causation of the creation of Kdramas. 1. Languages are totally different. 2. there were little to no subtitles. And if there were, it was just terrible English ones which nobody could understand. Globalization occured in full swing after 2000, I'd say once the technology caught up.
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.
@@ming-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.
@@ming-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…
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 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.
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 😂
Thank you Jiayi & Julie for making and posting this video! was waiting so long for someone to say all those things and try correct all the wrong impressions ppl have on Chinese culture and China. You have a new subscriber now!
Thank you Julie and Jiayi for educating me on Chinese Customs and Culture...I am an Overseas Born China who grew up in Papua New Guinea under a racist Australian government which forbade our little society from opening a Chinese School at the time of my growing up whilst refusing to allow Chinese young from enrolling in the only school for the Whites at the time... As a result, I cannot read nor write Chinese nor able to speak Putonghua.... I love my Motherland...Long live China...
Thank you so much for watching. Honestly, I felt sad reading this. I sadly must admit I know very little about Papua New Guinea, but I hope in the future we'll be able to make videos about Chinese communities outside of China and discuss their experience as well 🌸
Fantastic video thank you for sharing your views and insights very well researched and presented with a high degree of balanced understanding 👍 much respect!
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.
Before 1945, South Korea had never been an independent country and had always been a territory of China. During the Ming Dynasty, the emperor allowed it to become a vassal state, and its leader was titled JUN. During the Qing Dynasty, the emperor elevated the title of its leader from JUN to King. At the beginning of the formation of Japan's Yamato nation, it was catching up with China's powerful Han Dynasty, so it also became a subsidiary country. It was also given a gold seal by the Han Dynasty emperor. The gold seal was found in archaeological excavation a few years ago. When the Tang Dynasty came, Japan sent envoys to China crazily to learn technology, culture and other aspects, even the political system was identical. Vietnam, which has always been a territory of China, was later renamed Vietnam by the Qing Emperor. In 1885, it was forcibly ceded to the Qing Dynasty by France, turning Vietnam from a vassal state of China to a colony of France. China, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam are all countries in the Confucian cultural sphere, with a common feature of absolute obedience and absolute hierarchy. At the same time, the crime rate is much lower than in other regions, and the status of women is relatively low.
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
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.
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.
some people really have no idea what they want... In my country actually a lot of "chinese restaurants" are actually not necessarly chinese. But for quite some time china was kinda asia for a lot of people. Just Sushi came from japan^^
China even never expected them to stay loyal or what. As well as Vietnam or others. Cause they were not considered inferior, just friendly neighbors. You can understand it from many historical TV series based on historical books. But accounts will be settled in a fair way, one day.
Most things misbranded as “Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese or Asian” are Chinese inventions. They include noodles, dumplings, chopsticks, rice, rice wine, rice noodles, lamian or pulled noodles (ramen), tea, tea ceremony, matcha, soy sauce, bean curd doufu (tofu), miso, hotpot, paper folding art, penzai (bonsai), weiqi (game of go), koi fish, cherry blossom trees, zhajiangmian, tanghulu, char siu or barbecued pork (chashu), siu mai (shumai), etc. Yes, Japan wants to replace China as the “most superior Asian nation”. That’s why along with the help of American and western media and troll armies and anti China propaganda channels, they misbranded everything Chinese invented as “Japanese” mostly but also Korean and Vietnamese, and turn around to accuse China of “copying” them. Basically flipping the truth upside down. I’ve noticed this trend as I see more and more of my Cantonese cultural stuffs like wok and char siu misbranded as “Japanese”. The worst is seeing a video calling it “Japanese Peking duck”. Imagine calling it “Japanese Egyptian pyramid”. Japan and USA along with their military alliances are using their media to intentionally de-sinicize China, removing the name “China or Chinese”. Anytime you even remotely talk about Chinese culture, they immediately jump to the excuse of communism as a free pass to spread lies and do historical revisionism of China. Koreans are now calling Tanghulu, zhajiangmian, Malatang “Korean”. I’ve seen videos introducing “washi” (Japanese paper) and “hanji “ (Korean paper), even though paper is one of the Four Great Chinese Inventions (gunpowder, compass and printing) invented by Cai Lun during the Han Dynasty. Koreans are also distorting history claiming Hanbok influenced Hanfu, flipping the truth upside down. And claiming Confucius and the founder of Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang as “Korean”, and claim that Koreans invented Oracle Bones Script. I saw a video calling Chinese New Year as “Vietnamese New Year”. They don’t allow Chinese to call it Chinese New Year even though Chinese invented the lunisolar calendar that this new year is based on, but they make video allowing Vietnamese to culturally appropriate it as “Vietnamese New Year”. In short, it’s an intentional effort to culturally genocide China and erase the name China or Chinese off history because USA and Japan and their military alliances want to culturally, geographically, historically destroy and erase China. Then they turn around projecting and blame shifting saying it’s the CCP that is destroying Chinese culture, and that Japan and Korea are helping the Chinese to “preserve” their culture. Preservation is through recognizing China, not by misbranding everything other than Chinese. Theirs is not “cultural preservation”, but cultural genocide of China, and cultural plagiarism and appropriation. Japan, Korea and Vietnam are collectively called Sinosphere. Google search for Japanese missions to imperial China, and Japanese missions to Tang Dynasty. Korean culture is mainly a replica of Ming Dynasty culture due to it being a Ming vassal state. Vietnam was ruled by China for a thousand years from the Qin Dynasty Baiyue 百越 people conquest by General Zhao Tuo 赵佗, who founded the Nan Yue (Nam Viet in Vietnamese) Kingdom 南越古国, capital in Guangzhou, and also the Zhao Dynasty (Trieu Dynasty in Vietnamese) of Vietnam, until the Tang Dynasty of China. The very name Viet Nam 越南 (Yue Nan in Mandarin) comes from reversing the two characters for the Nan Yue Kingdom founded by Zhao Tuo. His grandson and successor Zhao Mo’s mausoleum is now a museum in Guangzhou, called Museum of the Nanyue King Mausoleum. Rice noodles 粉 （fen in Mandarin, fun in Cantonese, pho in Vietnamese) was invented during the Baiyue people conquest by Zhao Tuo, when his soldiers missed noodles and used rice plentiful in the wet south to create rice noodles. Yue (Viet) 越 means southern region of Yangtze River. Jiang Su and Zhejiang provinces used to be called Wu Yue 吴越。Fujian province used to be called Min Yue 闽越 where southern Min dialect 闽南话originated. Guangdong, Guangxi and Northern Vietnam was called Nan Yue 南越。Baiyue (Bach Viet) 百越 or Hundred Yue people existed south of the Yangtze River. Hiragana is cursive Chinese. Katakana is partial Chinese. Kanji is Hanzi, or Han Chinese characters. It’s called Kanji in Japanese, Hanja in Korean and Chu Han in Vietnamese. So basically Japan, Korea and Vietnam got their cultures and writing system from China. But they are now ganging up on China supported by USA to destroy and usurp the place of China, just like a bunch of proud fallen angels claiming to be “gods” while blaspheming their creator and calling God as the devil. This kind of intentional distortion of history and cultural genocide of one of the Four Cradles of Civilizations (China, India, Mesopotamia, and Egypt) must be stopped.
My Japanese and Korean friends have told me about their national pride that their governments had tried to eliminate the chinese characters from their written language. It didn't work. Particularly in legal documents. Too much confusion.
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.
@@wewenang5167 Communism and culture are 2 completely different things. They did that because they also want to attach themselves to their powerful dad so much.
Italy and the influence of Latin in academia still exists and even western thought can be traced to Rome, the Greeks Judaeo-Christian values and traditions.
Will spreading fake news like this change the fact that China is called the world's most thief country? Korea has never registered Chinese culture with UNESCO. Please stop lying and stealing technology.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
There are surprisingly a lot of french words in english ;) William the conquerer well conquered england from France coming during the medival ages and the upper class spoke french for quite some time accordingly. Also there was French influence on all of europe during the 18th century...
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.
Thanks for speaking out! As a Chinese working in Germany, I've been mistaken as Japanese/Korean on the street. I've seen Chinese Teapot, Chinese tee in German teashops, branded as Japanese tea :( They look good but that branding just stopped me from buying... Also the recent new MV from IVE, so many Chinese elements in it, which we can prove the originality, are claimed as Korean traditional elements. That's infuriating
Germans have a bad facial recognition for east asian faces. The have no idea who is korean, japanese or chinese. During the beginning of the covid pandemia suddenly all asians werd chinese, because china was so much in the media a korean friend of mine was even shouted at in the subway for bringing the 'china virus' (rascists are still all around)..
An example from New Zealand is what we call kiwi fruit- known as a kiwi in USA. Originally known as Chinese gooseberry here in NZ until the 1980s’ when it was rebranded to ‘kiwi fruit ’ 😊
Omg as a Chinese that study inNZ I actually don’t even never know this…because of the name kiwi fruit I automatically related it as a NZ fruit not knowing it was only later rebranded as kiwi…this is an interesting and also a sad fact for me…also shows how some facts can fade away throughout time and misunderstanding , for example elders grew up knowing that it was originally called Chinese gooseberry knowing it originated from china but younger generations such as me only know it’s kiwi fruit thinking it’s from NZ and not everyone would search for the history of a fruit…
Yeah, it probably wouldn't sell very well so we started calling it Kiwifruit It's taken on a wildly different path compared to what was brought over from China though
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.
Am a huge Chinese drama fan and all things Chinese. Do watch J & K dramas too. Hands down the best looking are the Chinese idols, no competition. There will be soppy dramas here and there but I tell you that Chinese dramas have such depth, dialogues et al! So happy you made this video, about time! Sinophobia makes me sooo mad. Visited few places in China last year and we as a family were in awe. Lovely people and country. Plan to go back many, many more times.
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 🎉
I'm a huge fan of Korean media, and it's always a point of frustation that some of those spaces are full of Korean nationalists who insist (for example) than Hanbok was wholesale invented by Koreans despite it being mostly an amalgamation of Song, Tang, and Ming clothing. There's Sinophobia from the western world, ethnic nationalism from states that are or once were part of the Sinosphere, and just so much ignorance all around.
나는한국인이지만.중국인들이 한복을 훔쳐갔다는 사실에 많은 한국인들이 중국에 대해 증오와 적개심을 가진다. 나역시 중국에대한 혐오를 느끼게되었고.어느새 두나라 사이의 차이점에 대해 궁금증이 생겼고. 유투브나 미디어를 통해서 이런식의 영상을 보곤하는데.. 어떤여자가. 한국의 한복과 중국의 한복 차이점을 설명하는걸 보았다. 그건은 내가 한국미디어에서 보지못한것이고 그것의 진위여부는 확신할수없지만. (중국은 나라여론 통제를 위해 미디어를 조작 통제 왜곡 한다는 이미지가있음😅) 만약 그건이 사실이라면. 우리는 인정할것이고 인정하는일은 어렵지않다. 다만 대부분 한국인들은 그런 영상을 보지않았을테고 그것을 모른다.90% 그 일이 있은후 .나와 많은 한국인이 그림자에가려져 알려지지않은 사실들이 더 있는건 아닐까 궁금증이 생기기 시작했고, 단순히 일부만을 보고 극단적 혐오감을 가지지말고 좀더 찾아보고 다시 생각해봐야 겠다는 생각이 들었어..
Watching videos like these always puts me at ease. China may be a large country in terms of land, but its mindset is small. China still has a long way to go, and I'm actually grateful that a dictator like Xi Jinping is in power. In South Korea, from a young age, we're taught in school that many of our cultural elements originated from China, but we adapted and modified them to fit our own tastes and traditions. Most Koreans don't feel the need to deny this. So, I don't understand why Chinese people get so worked up, claiming that their culture has been stolen. One thing is clear: in the past, many Koreans had a favorable view of China, but now we see it as a nuisance. Posting videos like these might give them a false sense of victory, but honestly, if it were me, I'd be embarrassed.
@parksean7646 It's interesting then that in any video, including this one, that mention hanfu koreans flock to it's commentsection to say it is theirs. That personally would make me embarrassed
@@jiayiandjulieinchina I don't understand why Chinese people think that Koreans are stealing their culture. China was once a great power, culturally and militarily dominating the world to the point of 'Pax Sinica.' It's heartbreaking to see such a great nation react so sensitively to such trivial matters. In the U.S., there's American pizza, but no one denies that pizza originated in Italy. As a Korean, it's impossible for us to claim that Hanfu, a traditional Chinese garment, is our own.
@@chenbingtang No South Korean would ever claim that Confucius, Mencius, or Xunzi were Koreans; they are clearly recognized as Chinese figures. Additionally, no one in Korea claims that Chinese characters originated from Korea. It's also absurd to suggest that any Chinese dynasty rulers were Korean. What I do know, however, is that there has been mention of the "Northeast Project" by China, which attempts to claim Goguryeo as part of Chinese history. Goguryeo is, without a doubt, part of Korean history. Culture flows from top to bottom, like water. In the past, China's culture was highly advanced and spread down to the Korean Peninsula and further to Japan. However, nowadays, Korea's culture has become the source, flowing outward to various parts of the world. This makes the Chinese uncomfortable, leading them to fabricate claims that Koreans are trying to take credit for ancient Chinese culture. Right now, China is like a frog trapped in a well.
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
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!
Korean culture has mny elements deriving originally from china. But it is still their own culture developed over centuries. Similar in many ways but still very different.
I did actually know that but it's not certain who invented forks and spread the invention. It seems like forks might have been invented in multiple places and time periods independently of each other. We know Byzantium had forks as well 😊
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. ;)
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.
Thank you so much; Recently, my favorite kpop group said that their mv was korean; but i recognized way too many chinese aspects in the mv, including their sets, costumes, props, etc. and everyone had been dissing china in the comments when netizens were calling the concept stealing. Me and my friends didn't really get it, but i think this video really helped.. :D
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...
so happy that there is such video talking about Chinese culture! Many people do not know much about our culture and think they are other countries' culture. Chinese culture which having a long history is beautiful and charming. As a Chinese I really hope everyone can know more about Chinese culture!
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
I've seen it called Chinese chess, and with good reason...
@@cmaven4762 Chinese chess and Chinese Go are two different games. I personally prefer Chinese chess.

go is actually the Old Chinese sound of Kanji(Chinese character) 棋，gio-go

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”.
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?
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.

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.....

Exactly, and also there are many relics now discovered in China as evidence of China's flourishing ancient history and culture.
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.

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.
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 👍
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.

Not Chinese gooseberry, that’s a different fruit. Kiwi fruit is miho peach.
@@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.

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
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.
Korean ancient history books record that Korean culture and clothing originated from China. However, the problem is that ancient Korean historical documents were all written in Chinese, and now Koreans do not understand Chinese, so…
Also, it's unfortunate that some Koreans are now even saying the Chinese language actually came FROM Korea!!!😓
It boils down to nationalism and forging an identity that is separate from china. Along with a helping hand from uncle sam.

@@ChinaSongsCollectionlet the Korean have it all, the more Chinese cultures they want to claim as they own will be better for us. Maybe one day they will realise the Korean become Chinese.
Correct, South Korea only switched to the current style of writing only in the early 80's, most Korean scholars and highly educated Koreans still use Chinese Hanzi characters.
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.

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.

@user-OperationRabbit625 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.

The earliest written record of shiitake cultivation is seen in the Records of Longquan County (龍泉縣志) compiled by He Zhan (何澹) in 1209 during the Song dynasty in China.[8] The 185-word description of shiitake cultivation from that literature was later cross-referenced many times and eventually adapted in a book by a Japanese horticulturist Satō Chūryō (佐藤中陵) in 1796, the first book on shiitake cultivation in Japan.[9] The Japanese cultivated the mushroom by cutting shii trees with axes and placing the logs by trees that were already growing shiitake or contained shiitake spores.[10][11] Before 1982, the Japan Islands' variety of these mushrooms could only be grown in traditional locations using ancient methods.[12] A 1982 report on the budding and growth of the Japanese variety revealed opportunities for commercial cultivation in the United States.[13]
it isn't really a chinese mushroom. it is all over in Asia. jus different country different name
I'm Japanese, but I think the claims in this video are generally correct. Japan's emperor is an imitation of the Chinese emperor, Buddhism was introduced with Chinese translations of Buddhist scriptures, and the streets of Kyoto are an imitation of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. The Japanese understood the value of the various things brought from China, and even after they were forgotten in China, they preserved them with care, and made only a few changes. That's all Japan did.
China has not forgotten, but many were destroyed by invaders, including Japan, who stole many Chinese books and cultural relics during World War II.

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 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.
Original Chinese were black, they were called Ainus and today they still live in Japan

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.
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.
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?
@@s._3560 Song dynasty
So Japanese people a few hundred years ago startet to like matcha and made a whole thin around it inspired by chinese customs back than. It bacame such a huge paart of their culture that they still drink it everywhere and make tea ceremony about it in their own style. It became part of their culture whereas chines focused more on other part of their chinese tea culture. If you discared an idea and someone else picks it up making it their own thing and developing it in their style you cant really call it theft. Why not be happy someone lined your idea amd made something out of it.

Folks, Do you know Karate is not original from Japan ? Kara-te mean “Chinese Hand”
Not a joke! Ryukyu kingdom was destroyed by Japanese in 1879. Locals of Ryukyu incorporated Chinese martial art and local style as karate to fight invaders.
Please name 10 things from Japan & Korea is not origin from China.
Ramen originated in China as well. Japanese took it and made it their own thing.
Karate was originally called Todi in Ryukyuan which means 唐手 or Chinese hand. After the Japanese annexation of Ryukyu, the Japanese changed the name to karate or empty hand in order to erase the Chinese origin.
But also, wasn't Chinese martial arts originated from India? After a Buddhist Dharma traveled from India and moved to a Shaolin temple in China? Or something like that?

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 .. 😉

The south korean flag are Chinese symbols
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

I have been watching Chinese dramas (from Hongkong back then) since the 1980s and thankfully, I understand that Chinese culture is so beautiful and indeed influence other East Asian countries. The rise of Kdramas just happened after all Chinese kungfu movies/dramas and they go international quickly and make it big maybe because they are more exposed to the US/west. They just market it better. But nowadays, Chinese dramas/movies have gained massive international fans as well.
Kdramas have been in existence since the 1970's at least in my memories as a kid watching them with my parents in the US.
@@morningcalmrisingsun i watched some too in the 90s, but there were more CN/HK/TW/JP dramas in my part of the world since the early 1980s - via free to air TV or VHS/Betamax.
@@augustmist So the proliference of Chinese dramas are not a causation of the creation of Kdramas. 1. Languages are totally different. 2. there were little to no subtitles. And if there were, it was just terrible English ones which nobody could understand. Globalization occured in full swing after 2000, I'd say once the technology caught up.
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.

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.
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 😂

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.
Before 1945, South Korea had never been an independent country and had always been a territory of China. During the Ming Dynasty, the emperor allowed it to become a vassal state, and its leader was titled JUN. During the Qing Dynasty, the emperor elevated the title of its leader from JUN to King. At the beginning of the formation of Japan's Yamato nation, it was catching up with China's powerful Han Dynasty, so it also became a subsidiary country. It was also given a gold seal by the Han Dynasty emperor. The gold seal was found in archaeological excavation a few years ago. When the Tang Dynasty came, Japan sent envoys to China crazily to learn technology, culture and other aspects, even the political system was identical. Vietnam, which has always been a territory of China, was later renamed Vietnam by the Qing Emperor. In 1885, it was forcibly ceded to the Qing Dynasty by France, turning Vietnam from a vassal state of China to a colony of France. China, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam are all countries in the Confucian cultural sphere, with a common feature of absolute obedience and absolute hierarchy. At the same time, the crime rate is much lower than in other regions, and the status of women is relatively low.
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!

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。
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.
You never bought "Made in China" cheap knockoff items of Western , Japanese and Korean brand names? If not, you must be living under a rock.
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.

Most things misbranded as “Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese or Asian” are Chinese inventions. They include noodles, dumplings, chopsticks, rice, rice wine, rice noodles, lamian or pulled noodles (ramen), tea, tea ceremony, matcha, soy sauce, bean curd doufu (tofu), miso, hotpot, paper folding art, penzai (bonsai), weiqi (game of go), koi fish, cherry blossom trees, zhajiangmian, tanghulu, char siu or barbecued pork (chashu), siu mai (shumai), etc. Yes, Japan wants to replace China as the “most superior Asian nation”. That’s why along with the help of American and western media and troll armies and anti China propaganda channels, they misbranded everything Chinese invented as “Japanese” mostly but also Korean and Vietnamese, and turn around to accuse China of “copying” them. Basically flipping the truth upside down.
I’ve noticed this trend as I see more and more of my Cantonese cultural stuffs like wok and char siu misbranded as “Japanese”. The worst is seeing a video calling it “Japanese Peking duck”. Imagine calling it “Japanese Egyptian pyramid”. Japan and USA along with their military alliances are using their media to intentionally de-sinicize China, removing the name “China or Chinese”. Anytime you even remotely talk about Chinese culture, they immediately jump to the excuse of communism as a free pass to spread lies and do historical revisionism of China.
Koreans are now calling Tanghulu, zhajiangmian, Malatang “Korean”. I’ve seen videos introducing “washi” (Japanese paper) and “hanji “ (Korean paper), even though paper is one of the Four Great Chinese Inventions (gunpowder, compass and printing) invented by Cai Lun during the Han Dynasty. Koreans are also distorting history claiming Hanbok influenced Hanfu, flipping the truth upside down. And claiming Confucius and the founder of Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang as “Korean”, and claim that Koreans invented Oracle Bones Script.
I saw a video calling Chinese New Year as “Vietnamese New Year”. They don’t allow Chinese to call it Chinese New Year even though Chinese invented the lunisolar calendar that this new year is based on, but they make video allowing Vietnamese to culturally appropriate it as “Vietnamese New Year”.
In short, it’s an intentional effort to culturally genocide China and erase the name China or Chinese off history because USA and Japan and their military alliances want to culturally, geographically, historically destroy and erase China. Then they turn around projecting and blame shifting saying it’s the CCP that is destroying Chinese culture, and that Japan and Korea are helping the Chinese to “preserve” their culture. Preservation is through recognizing China, not by misbranding everything other than Chinese. Theirs is not “cultural preservation”, but cultural genocide of China, and cultural plagiarism and appropriation.
Japan, Korea and Vietnam are collectively called Sinosphere. Google search for Japanese missions to imperial China, and Japanese missions to Tang Dynasty. Korean culture is mainly a replica of Ming Dynasty culture due to it being a Ming vassal state. Vietnam was ruled by China for a thousand years from the Qin Dynasty Baiyue 百越 people conquest by General Zhao Tuo 赵佗, who founded the Nan Yue (Nam Viet in Vietnamese) Kingdom 南越古国, capital in Guangzhou, and also the Zhao Dynasty (Trieu Dynasty in Vietnamese) of Vietnam, until the Tang Dynasty of China. The very name Viet Nam 越南 (Yue Nan in Mandarin) comes from reversing the two characters for the Nan Yue Kingdom founded by Zhao Tuo. His grandson and successor Zhao Mo’s mausoleum is now a museum in Guangzhou, called Museum of the Nanyue King Mausoleum. Rice noodles 粉 （fen in Mandarin, fun in Cantonese, pho in Vietnamese) was invented during the Baiyue people conquest by Zhao Tuo, when his soldiers missed noodles and used rice plentiful in the wet south to create rice noodles. Yue (Viet) 越 means southern region of Yangtze River. Jiang Su and Zhejiang provinces used to be called Wu Yue 吴越。Fujian province used to be called Min Yue 闽越 where southern Min dialect 闽南话originated. Guangdong, Guangxi and Northern Vietnam was called Nan Yue 南越。Baiyue (Bach Viet) 百越 or Hundred Yue people existed south of the Yangtze River.
Hiragana is cursive Chinese. Katakana is partial Chinese. Kanji is Hanzi, or Han Chinese characters. It’s called Kanji in Japanese, Hanja in Korean and Chu Han in Vietnamese.
So basically Japan, Korea and Vietnam got their cultures and writing system from China. But they are now ganging up on China supported by USA to destroy and usurp the place of China, just like a bunch of proud fallen angels claiming to be “gods” while blaspheming their creator and calling God as the devil. This kind of intentional distortion of history and cultural genocide of one of the Four Cradles of Civilizations (China, India, Mesopotamia, and Egypt) must be stopped.

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.
@@wewenang5167 Communism and culture are 2 completely different things. They did that because they also want to attach themselves to their powerful dad so much.
Italy and the influence of Latin in academia still exists and even western thought can be traced to Rome, the Greeks Judaeo-Christian values and traditions.
Will spreading fake news like this change the fact that China is called the world's most thief country? Korea has never registered Chinese culture with UNESCO. Please stop lying and stealing technology.
You're quite wrong, right direction almost. Countries such as England don't need to grasp onto Rome because they became something better.
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
Thank you ❤
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
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.
What a great presentation... I learned a few things.
Proud to be chinese
Thanks for watching ❤️

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.
I wish they would at least call it Luni solar new year, then at least it would be somewhat accurate 😂
Ha. Chinese people don't even call Chinese new year Chinese new year.
新年好 doesn't have china anywhere in it
We all know it comes from the Chinese calendar. It's just a difference in name.
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 You sound like a cold war fossil as old as Joe Biden.
This is a great comment. Young ppl today, they're confused. I feel sorry for them in a way.
@@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.
@@morningcalmrisingsun You need to look back or you will be fallen like America now!
Thank you again, lovely program, keep it up !!!
Thanks, will do!🌸
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
Best Japanese invention behind hotpot@@lyhthegreat
@@lyhthegreat That is true. We all know it in China
I thought original sushi is from Mekong river in Southeast Asia
Love your clear explanations and rich examples❤. Nice video ~
Glad you liked it 😊
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.
There are surprisingly a lot of french words in english ;)
William the conquerer well conquered england from France coming during the medival ages and the upper class spoke french for quite some time accordingly. Also there was French influence on all of europe during the 18th century...
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.

Thanks for speaking out! As a Chinese working in Germany, I've been mistaken as Japanese/Korean on the street. I've seen Chinese Teapot, Chinese tee in German teashops, branded as Japanese tea :( They look good but that branding just stopped me from buying... Also the recent new MV from IVE, so many Chinese elements in it, which we can prove the originality, are claimed as Korean traditional elements. That's infuriating
实事求是的讲，里面那个门框确实是朝鲜族传统，汉式门框很少有绿色，并且通常会更精致一些，许多汉式门框还有雕花。
🙃
虎文化和绣花鞋是中韩都有的传统，朝鲜文化中虎是山神的使者，虽然他们现在一只野生老虎都没有了，但不代表他们没有虎文化。
🙃
祥云纹中韩两国的传统文化中都有，但祥云纹在朝鲜半岛的使用范围远不及中国广泛，形制亦无中国的多样化，IVE的MV中的祥云与中国许多节日舞台、促销活动、雕花、绘画艺术、服饰等方面广泛运用的祥云纹高度相似。
🙃
除了中国结和中式盘扣这种典型的中国风情外，开场时那个盒子，很像是漆雕或牙雕，这种工艺中国宋代之前就已经出现，并且在12~14世纪传入日本，但朝鲜半岛迄今为止尚未发现有相似文物。最近几年韩国古装剧大量抄袭中国服化道和场景，他们的影视剧里才开始出现一些雕漆工艺的家具之类的。
🙃
虽然中日韩都有扇子文化，但材料和造型还是有所不同的，MV中的扇子明显是中式形制的，芭蕉中常见这种造型，那种半透明的芭蕉扇通常都是需要用丝绸制作才能绘画，韩国不产丝绸。
🙃
水墨画起源于中国，然后传朝鲜半岛、日本列岛和越南，虽然相似，但都基于本土环境，形成了各自不同的特色，MV中的水墨画是喀斯特地貌的山石，那种地貌东亚只存在于中国南部和越南北部，朝鲜半岛没有。
Germans have a bad facial recognition for east asian faces. The have no idea who is korean, japanese or chinese. During the beginning of the covid pandemia suddenly all asians werd chinese, because china was so much in the media a korean friend of mine was even shouted at in the subway for bringing the 'china virus' (rascists are still all around)..
An example from New Zealand is what we call kiwi fruit- known as a kiwi in USA. Originally known as Chinese gooseberry here in NZ until the 1980s’ when it was rebranded to ‘kiwi fruit ’ 😊
The Kiwis know 😂
I had no idea
Omg as a Chinese that study inNZ I actually don’t even never know this…because of the name kiwi fruit I automatically related it as a NZ fruit not knowing it was only later rebranded as kiwi…this is an interesting and also a sad fact for me…also shows how some facts can fade away throughout time and misunderstanding , for example elders grew up knowing that it was originally called Chinese gooseberry knowing it originated from china but younger generations such as me only know it’s kiwi fruit thinking it’s from NZ and not everyone would search for the history of a fruit…
Yeah, it probably wouldn't sell very well so we started calling it Kiwifruit
It's taken on a wildly different path compared to what was brought over from China though
@@insleb4463 growing up I called it either 猕猴桃 or Kiwi果 lol
I don't think I really saw many at all when I went to visit relatives in China last year
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.
Am a huge Chinese drama fan and all things Chinese. Do watch J & K dramas too. Hands down the best looking are the Chinese idols, no competition.

I'm a huge fan of Korean media, and it's always a point of frustation that some of those spaces are full of Korean nationalists who insist (for example) than Hanbok was wholesale invented by Koreans despite it being mostly an amalgamation of Song, Tang, and Ming clothing. There's Sinophobia from the western world, ethnic nationalism from states that are or once were part of the Sinosphere, and just so much ignorance all around.
I feel you. It gets very tiring
Fun fact: Korea even called itself Little Ming Dynasty at one time in history.
韩国人正常，地球都是韩国的，只要好东西都是韩国的。不是中国人觉得日本人也觉得。如果你是西方人没有这方面刻板印象
Fun fact 2: they also call itself 小中华 (little China) claiming to be "the real version of it".
나는한국인이지만.중국인들이 한복을 훔쳐갔다는 사실에 많은 한국인들이 중국에 대해 증오와 적개심을 가진다.

Watching videos like these always puts me at ease. China may be a large country in terms of land, but its mindset is small. China still has a long way to go, and I'm actually grateful that a dictator like Xi Jinping is in power.
In South Korea, from a young age, we're taught in school that many of our cultural elements originated from China, but we adapted and modified them to fit our own tastes and traditions. Most Koreans don't feel the need to deny this. So, I don't understand why Chinese people get so worked up, claiming that their culture has been stolen.
One thing is clear: in the past, many Koreans had a favorable view of China, but now we see it as a nuisance. Posting videos like these might give them a false sense of victory, but honestly, if it were me, I'd be embarrassed.
@parksean7646 It's interesting then that in any video, including this one, that mention hanfu koreans flock to it's commentsection to say it is theirs. That personally would make me embarrassed
@@jiayiandjulieinchina I don't understand why Chinese people think that Koreans are stealing their culture. China was once a great power, culturally and militarily dominating the world to the point of 'Pax Sinica.' It's heartbreaking to see such a great nation react so sensitively to such trivial matters. In the U.S., there's American pizza, but no one denies that pizza originated in Italy. As a Korean, it's impossible for us to claim that Hanfu, a traditional Chinese garment, is our own.
@@parksean7646韩服是在汉服的基础上，因为朝鲜半岛独特地理环境而改进的，韩服的最初模板是在汉服的基础上
中国人为什么会说韩国人剽窃我们的文化？那是因为有一部分没看过历史教科书韩国人说汉服起源于韩国，中国5000年来一直被韩国统治（这种毫无逻辑，毫无文献）你们的国家历史教科书明明白白写着，中国的古代史进程，但有一部分韩国人只会看网络小说，就认为自己是历史学家
首先谢谢你承认，许多文化元素起源于中国
其次，回答一下你的问题:中国人之所以认为我们的文化被剽窃了，是因为有一部分连历史书都没看过的韩国人说，汉字孔子，道教，甚至中国各个王朝的统治者都是韩国人的，这种毫无逻辑，毫无文献的理论（他们从来没有学习过历史，连自己的国家历史教科书都没有看过）更别提别的国家的历史，而他们一般都是没有考上大学的，甚至没有考上高中的社会流氓和学渣
3:中国确实是独裁，大部分人用不了TH-cam，而我是中国大陆人，我使用TH-cam都要通过VPN网络延迟很严重（并不是因为中国网络建设不好而是因为中国有独立的网络防火墙防止民众获得海外的媒体信息，这主要是为了避免中国人民接触到民主，自由思想，维护那些贵族的统治，而我浏览TH-cam的视频都要顶着被中国警察抓住的风险，但这些不代表中国对自己的文化和别国的文化有什么误解因为中国在历史真实度上是有法律规定，如果肆意篡改的话是会被判刑的）
@@chenbingtang No South Korean would ever claim that Confucius, Mencius, or Xunzi were Koreans; they are clearly recognized as Chinese figures. Additionally, no one in Korea claims that Chinese characters originated from Korea. It's also absurd to suggest that any Chinese dynasty rulers were Korean. What I do know, however, is that there has been mention of the "Northeast Project" by China, which attempts to claim Goguryeo as part of Chinese history. Goguryeo is, without a doubt, part of Korean history.
Culture flows from top to bottom, like water. In the past, China's culture was highly advanced and spread down to the Korean Peninsula and further to Japan. However, nowadays, Korea's culture has become the source, flowing outward to various parts of the world. This makes the Chinese uncomfortable, leading them to fabricate claims that Koreans are trying to take credit for ancient Chinese culture. Right now, China is like a frog trapped in a well.

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
Korean culture has mny elements deriving originally from china. But it is still their own culture developed over centuries. Similar in many ways but still very different.
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。

美国花了3亿美元支持日韩的文化盗窃+心理优势战争
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...

I did actually know that but it's not certain who invented forks and spread the invention. It seems like forks might have been invented in multiple places and time periods independently of each other. We know Byzantium had forks as well 😊
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. ;)
