[theqoo] EVEN THOUGH WE'VE ENTERED THE 21ST CENTURY, KOREA IS STILL SURVIVING THROUGH COPYING CHINESE CULTURE ft. CANNES

Tweet:
I don't know if the author of Perfect Crown is just too ignorant or if their intentions are rotten, but why are they shouting "Cheonsae Cheonsae Cheon-Cheonsae" in the 21st century? Where is this empire anyway? That's why it's a constitutional monarchy; was it a king, not an emperor? ㅋㅋ

QRT: Even though we've entered the 21st century, Korea is still surviving through copying the Chinese culture

① Ancient Korea was actually a tributary state of China.

② The actors in the drama wear Chinese-style Myeonbok, because ancient Korean kings received these garments as gifts from the Chinese emperor, and their etiquette and system were largely modeled after China.

Koreans do not need to complain about the drama due to the tributary state, because this is a historical fact.

"Perfect Crown faces fierce backlash for appearing to portray a fictional Korea as a Chinese 'tributary state'"

"Korea was historically a tributary state under China’s Ming and Qing dynasties, receiving investiture from the Chinese emperor and sending tribute missions. This relationship formally ended when Qing dynasty recognized Korea’s full independence in the 1895 Treaty of Shimonoseki."

- The countries on the Korean Peninsula have historically been tributary states of China for a long time, and even during the Imjin War, they almost voluntarily submitted and nearly became part of mainland China

- Joseon was literally required to send virgin girls to the Ming palace as tribute. This is the textbook definition of a tributary state

- Rather, aren't Korean dramas fabricating a culture that didn't originally exist by partially imitating other countries' cultures? After all, tea wasn't generally drunk in Joseon to begin with, was it

"In the drama Perfect Crown, a scene depicting the currently controversial "C-style" tea ceremony appears where tea is poured into a drip tray, prompting some netizens to comment that it "looks like a typical C-style tea ceremony.""

- Those are all Chinese traditional clothing, not Korea's

- For real?

"At the time, the King of Joseon referred to himself as a filial son of China, and this is recorded even in their historical records. However, it seems they refuse to acknowledge this now"

"Korean netizens boycott any drama that acknowledges their country's history as a vassal state of China or accepts the transmission of Chinese culture, insisting that everything is an independent creative work. They also protested the depiction in the drama Bon Apetit Your Majesty where the banquet seats of the King of Joseon and the Chinese envoy were arranged side-by-side at equal heights. However, only after examining historical records did they discover that this was the result of glorifying history to protect their fragile pride. In reality, the envoys of the Heavenly Dynasty were equated with the Chinese Emperor and sat in a seat of higher status than the King of Joseon when visiting as envoys."
