Some kind of obsessive -compulsive disorder with military brand -both forced yourself and forced others -maybe it is both the reason for the success of South Korea's economy, but also a great psychological pressure for each other between the society and the people.It is harsh, and leads to comparison, bullying, suicide, and the root causes of other anti -social events.
The author has visited South Korea several times, and often reads discussions on the ambitions of Korean people in the media, but it has to be said that South Korea's ambitions are indeed proportional to the actual volume and national mentality. In the end, it is impossible to achieve it.This dream.
Due to the close neighbors with China and thousands of years of interaction, the deep Confucian cultural characteristics and Chinese cultural marks in Korean culture are indelible.The streets of South Korea, especially some important monuments, are still solemnly identified by the Chinese plaque, such as Shenwumen at the back door of Jingfu Palace in the Kings of the Kingdom of Korea, the East Temple (Guan Di Temple) in Seoul, and the crew found in Jeju Island.In the year (two years of Sejong), it was finally concluded in the temple / township school of 1653.The Dacheng Hall of this cultural temple is facing north to south, with the left and right Yidian Halls and Sacrifice Halls. There is a Chinese plaque on the entrance door.Five Saint -Confucius, Yanzi, Zengzi, Zisi, Mencius, and "Four Sages of the Song Dynasty" -Zhou Dunyi, Cheng Yan, Cheng Yi, Zhu Xi.From the perspective of architecture, the author believes that although the Confucian temple and township school are not large, the layout is strict and the repair is perfect. It seems to be more beautiful than the Shanghai Temple that I have visited.
East Asia characteristics and national characteristics
The influence of Buddhism in South Korea cannot be underestimated.I have been to the two Buddhist temples in Seoul and Jeju Island. The halls are magnificent and magnificent. They have cushions for faith and tourists. The staff on duty persuade visitors to donate merit and "rice money" in cash.Unlike China, monks do not have to knock on woodfish to host hoe and honor.Another series of faith is emerging religion and cults.South Korea has its own tradition of Shamanism. In the case of fierce competition in modern times and mental emptiness, more and more people are easily attracted by cults in the process of finding faith.This has also become a social issue in South Korea.
Due to the excellence of East Asian culture, paying attention to education, at the same time, self -discipline, like to exert pressure on themselves, coupled with the dense population and competition between South Korea, South Korea has entered the inner volume model of China very early, that is, middle school students sacrifice a lot of rest and rest.Time and tutoring to strive to enter the prestigious university; and the diploma of the top university is both a symbol of success and the guarantee of entering the mainstream of the middle class after graduation.This kind of social status quo has caused the younger generation to be aimed at the diploma of first -class schools, but in my opinion, the lack of the tolerance of a "hero does not ask the source" that the Chinese people have appreciated, and the general or even low academic qualifications are proud.The culture has also made the life choices of young people in Korean even narrower.
In contrast to the culture of Chinese and American culture, the inherent characteristics of people are opposite, and the Korean people pursue the perfection of appearance naked.This has led to a well -developed cosmetic industry.
As the South Korean economy takes off earlier than China, society has completed wealth accumulation, coupled with East Asia's unique family culture and parents' spoils for their children, it is easier to form a child's serious dependence on parents.This is also the fundamental difference between Korean culture and emphasizing personal struggle.The author feels in South Korea that the Koreans are not like the Chinese, and they are ashamed of relying on their parents, but they are proud of their old age.Because this seems to be capable of being capable of resources and can raise children; but if the parents do not have enough strength, they can do their best to love their children.
In this process, the Koreans have not appreciated their own struggle, but instead appreciate the distorted values of relying on elders, to depend on dependence rather than independence, as a glory.
From the ancient South Korea's attachment to China, in modern times, it has been colonized by Japan. From the history and reality that is still under the protection of the U.S. military, dependence and dependence seem to have penetrated into the national bone marrow.This deep -rooted dependency psychology, between the same strong national psychology, forms a strong tension, which makes South Korea be at a loss.
When Chinese people reflect the "class" (such as in the admissions of colleges and universities), when discussing it as an disturbing real issue, the Koreans believe that the hereditary monopoly and solidification formed based on the previous generation of resources isIt is taken for granted that it does not think it is particularly unreasonable or the need for reflection.
This can actually explain how the fertility rate of South Korea is very low, because social values do not allow people at the middle and lower levels to see the hope of success through self -struggle.In modern times, due to the radical anti -traditional trend of the May 4th Movement, the socialist revolution and the transformation of the old culture have been transformed by the socialist revolution and the construction of the old culture. At the social level, they have more awareness and independence of individual equality than South Korea.
In addition to the traditional or "feudal" side, South Korean contemporary culture has a very strong military nature.Park Jung -hee, Quan Douhuan and other military strong men have been in power for a long time. The style is superimposed with the authority and obedience culture of East Asia. Coupled with the military service system that responds to the military pressure of North Korea, even after democratization, it presents some kind of military characteristics.
This is reflected in other Society of Koreans than East Asia, such as Japan, Taiwan, and Mainland China, more stiff, cold, and even rude.The author can experience the politeness and enthusiasm of the Japanese in Japan. You can feel the characteristics of being happy and laughing between strangers in Taiwan and mainland China.
But in South Korea, it is obviously that its citizens are more introverted and indifferent.When the Koreans entertain guests, they never consult their guests. For example, whether there are taboos, whether they are used to some special foods such as raw fish and raw products, and of course, they think that everyone must eat the same food.Korean people also lack the thoughtfulness and meticulousness of Chinese hospitality.
Some kind of obsessive -compulsive disorder with military brand -not only forced yourself, but also forced others -maybe it is both the reason for the success of the Korean economy, but also a great psychological pressure for each other between the society.As a result of comparison, bullying, suicide, and other anti -social events.At the same time, the Shiyue Ship in 2014 was sinking, and the Eritai Courtyard's steps on the end of 2022 (the author went to the scene of the incident at the time in the summer of 2023).Out of the rough and indifferent side of Korean social management.
How to view China and Chinese
Koreans treat China, obviously have extremely complicated and tangled psychology.On the one hand, the Chinese factors in Korean history and culture cannot be removed; on the other hand, they are eager to prove that they are Korean people in the world.Awkward.
But the psychology of Koreans is also highly contradictory.When I was studying for a doctorate, I met an international student from South Korea. When I ate in a restaurant, I suddenly took out the paper and pen and wrote the five Chinese characters "Great Koreans".Social etiquette does not have the corresponding operation of the text context to support this action.The author can only understand that this is a kind of anxiety psychological expression when Koreans face foreigners.
On the contrary, in 2017, when I participated in the annual meeting of the "Asia and Comparative Philosophy Society" at the Department of Philosophy of Peking University, a Korean professor who could speak Chinese said in a speech that was not very decent when speaking:"You are a university student of the great country, I am a elementary school of a small country." It embarrassed the scholars of the organizer, because the academic conference is for the purpose of academic exchanges.It is also equal and has nothing to do with the size of the country.The phrase of Korean scholars and the words of Korean classmates I have experienced before, the meaning of expression is exactly the opposite.
Putting two examples together undoubtedly feels that people who have been educated in South Korea are also anxious and confused about whether their nation is "big" or "small".Develop and retreat.
What is even more interesting is the attitude of Koreans towards the Korean Korean.If it is said that Koreans still have some "awe" to treat the Chinese, and the Korean and compatriots who move from China to South Korea are completely contempt and exclusion.In the hearts of the general citizens of Seoul, the Korean people in the Dalindong area of the settlement of Seoul are a place that is famous for its high crime rate and can't avoid it.But the author's feeling there is that it is more like the Flushing Chinatown in New York, USA for new immigration turnover or making a living, and holding a group to warm up.The new Korean immigrants in Dalin Cave sold foods, restaurants, and cold drinks, and also engaged in some immigration and tourism business. The signboards are often bilingual in China and South Korea, where they can hear authentic Northeast dialects here.
The author can feel that these Chinese and North Koreans who think that their immigrants returned to their ancestors were seriously worked hard and also regarded South Korea as a home.In fact, some of the criminal suspects of public security cases widely reported by international media are locals, all of which are locals, not from the Korean Korean, but the Koreans insist that Dalindong is a sin.psychology.If the compatriots who speak the same language as the same language are still tolerant, narrow, and fragile in South Korea, it is impossible to become a real "big country".
