A few days ago, the South Korean RM program team publicly issued an article, deliberately saying in English: "Lunar New Year is a traditional Korean festival."
The whole world is celebrating the Chinese New Year, and only Koreans say "Korean New Year".
In fact, South Korea's de-sinicization of the Lunar New Year began several years ago.
The Encyclopedia previously explicitly acknowledged that the Spring Festival originated in China. But then the Koreans tried to steal the Chinese New Year step by step through modifications, and vainly wanted to take the Spring Festival for themselves.
The three leading actors of "Argyle: Mystery**", which will be released in China, sent New Year's greetings to Korean audiences.
The original intention was to promote the movie, but the leading actors were saying "Korean New Year" and "Blue Dragon Year" between the lines, and those who didn't know thought that the Spring Festival was a unique festival in Korea.
This year, the U.S. Embassy in Beijing posted a Weibo note to note his wording: Lunar New Year.
But in previous years, the U.S. Embassy in China issued a "Chinese New Year" document, and in the past two years, they have not mentioned China.
Including Japanese Prime Minister Kishida's tweets in Chinese (simplified + traditional), English, and Japanese, all of them are Lunar New Year.
The British Museum went even further, saying last year it was "Korean New Year". Of course, in the end, he was scolded to delete the post.
AC Milan posted a New Year's greeting post, using "Chinese New Year", and several Korean accounts in the comment area broke the defense**, but it was quickly drowned out by Chinese netizens' New Year's greeting comments.
You will find that in the past few years, the United States, Britain and Japan have changed the wording of the Chinese New Year.
The argument of the United States and Japan is to de-sinicize, and the United Kingdom's wave of operations last year directly put the Spring Festival on South Korea's head.
China's influence over the past few thousand years, many countries around the world have celebrated the Chinese New Year.
Some people have been obsessed with the fact that the Lunar New Year is not a unique Chinese holiday, but in fact, this is not the point of the problem at all.
Because the Lunar New Year that has always been celebrated in Western countries is the Chinese New Year, which is neither the Lunar New Year of South Korea nor the Lunar New Year of Vietnam. Now that the Chinese Spring Festival is on fire abroad, everyone wants to get a piece of the pie and want to rub some heat, while Koreans directly want to empty the white wolf and directly harvest the fruits planted by the Chinese, as Chinese, they must not be able to bear it.
