Oops, I have to be clear, ethnic Koreans are not Koreans!Koreans are one of China's ethnic minorities, and their population is quite large, mainly distributed in the three northeastern provinces, as well as the Tumen River, Yalu River, Mudanjiang River, Songhua River and other river basins. With the rapid development of China's economy, more and more ethnic Koreans have moved to the coastal economic open zone.
Did you know?The largest area inhabited by ethnic Koreans is Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in Jilin Province, which is located in the eastern part of Jilin Province and is the junction of China, Russia and North Korea. This autonomous prefecture has several cities and counties under its jurisdiction, with a total area of 4270,000 square kilometers, almost a quarter of the total area of Jilin Province!In addition, Changbai Korean Autonomous County in the southeast of Jilin Province is another ethnic autonomous area of the Korean ethnic group.
When it comes to food, that's the strong point of the Korean people!Their area is known as the "Land of Rice" in northern China. The rice produced there is crystal clear, fragrant, and Yanbian's famous "apple pear", which has large fruits, many flesh, small hearts, rich juice, and moderate sweetness and sourness. In addition to fruits, there are also ginseng, codonopsis, fritillary, mountain grapes, matsutake mushrooms, fungus, mushrooms and other specialties.
In terms of language, ethnic Koreans have their own language and script. Their language belongs to the Altaic language family, and the writing is in Korean. In China, Koreans generally use Korean and Korean scripts. Ethnic Koreans living in non-Chinese areas do not call themselves ethnic Koreans.
Oh, and again, in the context of Korean or Korean, the term "Korean" refers specifically to the Korean ethnic minority in China, who are Chinese with Chinese nationality. So, don't get me wrong!
