! A Korean writer went on a show and said that "Chinese characters were created by Koreans." Korean netizens said: It makes me embarrassed
A Korean writer's remarks about Chinese characters in February this year were recently discovered by Weibo netizens. On February 1, Korean writer Kim Jin-myung made quite absurd remarks on a Korean TV program, claiming that Koreans have long had "historical misunderstandings" and believed that Chinese characters were not created by Korea. In fact, "Chinese characters were not created by the Chinese, but by the Chinese." It was created by Koreans." As soon as this comment came out, it was immediately "trouble" by Korean netizens. Some Korean netizens said that they felt "embarrassed" after watching the show. Some netizens commented, "(Kim Jin-myung) is crazy."
February 1, local time On the same day, the Korean TV program "Big Question" uploaded a video of about 20 minutes on the social platform YouTube. In the video, Kim Jin-myung "teaches" Koreans to learn "correct history." He said that there are as many as 3 million cases of Korean people misunderstanding history, and the most widely misunderstood among them is the origin of Chinese characters. Jin Zhenming claimed that this was because North Korea was a vassal state of China in history, so people "naturally" believed that Chinese characters originated from China, making it difficult to imagine that Chinese characters actually originated from South Korea.

Jin Zhenming said that from a Chinese perspective, because the Han Dynasty was the largest country in history at that time, the characters were named after the dynasty and were called "Chinese characters". He also "regrets" that South Korea's names such as "Hanjiang River" and "Dahanmen" are the result of the influence of being a client of China.
Immediately afterwards, Jin Zhenming was "rhetoric" again and expressed his so-called understanding:
"But in fact, Chinese characters were not created by China, but by our (South Korean) people... and 'Chinese characters' should be called 'Yin characters' ', because Chinese characters were actually developed on the basis of the oracle bones of the Yin Shang Dynasty, and the Yin Shang (Shang Dynasty) was not a country in China, but was created by the Dongyi people. The only Dongyi people left now are Koreans and Japanese People, so in fact, Chinese characters were created by our ancestors, the Dongyi people." He also said, "Not understanding history means that a country cannot become an 'advanced country', and humans cannot become 'advanced human beings'. The program "
" has currently received 900,000 views on YouTube. However, Jin Zhenming's remarks were "disrupted" by domestic netizens. Some netizens said, "I endured watching (this video) and it felt like some kind of 'creation science' logic. It made me very embarrassed."
Some Korean netizens said, "Why do you still covet Chinese characters? The pronunciation of Korean is very suitable for Korean language expression (way), and that is enough."
Another netizen said, "Kim Jin-myung (he) is still crazy after all.
Someone else said, "Those who call themselves historical novelists (all have a tendency), most of them just talk nonsense without verification."
falsely claims that "the Dongyi people, the ancestors of Koreans, spread Chinese characters" Already there. According to a 2011 report by South Korea's conservative media NewDaily, Chen Taeha, founder of South Korea's "National Federation for the Promotion of Chinese Character Education," believes that the Han people did not create Chinese characters, and there was no name "Hanzi" during the Han Dynasty; Chinese characters are the ancestors of Koreans, Dongyi The writing system developed by the tribe on the basis of oracle bone inscriptions.
Regarding this fallacy, the "People's Daily" published an article one by one to refute this:
First of all, Dongyi is a general name for the Eastern peoples by the Chinese. It is not a specific ethnic group. Is it appropriate to directly refer to the Dongyi people as the ancestors of Koreans? , itself is doubtful.
Secondly, the history of China is a process of multi-ethnic integration and development. In ancient times, the mainstream bloodline of the Dongyi people has been integrated into the bloodline of the entire Chinese nation. The culture created by the Dongyi people at that time has become an inseparable part of traditional Chinese culture. Part of the Dongyi people's territory is roughly the eastern region centered on Shandong, and it is still within the scope of China.
Thirdly, the development of Chinese characters has a long historical process. As an important node of Chinese characters in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, oracle bone inscriptions are already relatively systematic and mature characters. They are considered to be the early forms of modern Chinese characters and the script of Chinese characters. One, of course, is Chinese characters.It cannot be ruled out that the Dongyi people may have contributed to the development of Chinese characters, but it is an exaggeration to claim that they are the inventors of Chinese characters based on the development of oracle bone inscriptions.
Fourth, the so-called "there was no name for "Chinese characters" during the Han Dynasty" is even more like a frog in the well. Do Chinese characters have to be invented by the Han Dynasty, or named after the Han Dynasty, in order to be called Chinese characters? Can the history of the existence of Chinese characters before this be written off? Did the Han people, the Han people, only start to multiply and live in the Han Dynasty? Did the history of China only begin with the Han Dynasty? Absolutely not.
Therefore, it is absolutely a fallacy to say that Chinese characters are not Chinese characters.
