中国文化和韩国文化有着密不可分的联系,离不开中国文化的影响。中华民族有着56个民族,中国朝鲜族是中华民族大家族中的一个,包含着朝鲜文化,而韩国文化与朝鲜文化与中国境内的朝鲜族的文化存在极大的相似之处。自汉唐以后,中华传统文化包括儒家道家思想以及文字、绘画、建筑和雕刻等等纷纷传入日本与朝鲜半岛。但是近期,有些具有历史虚无主义的及高度自卑心态的韩国人想要从韩国的各个方面剥离中国文化对韩国的影响。有位韩国网友就发起了这样的提问:我们怎么能从韩国消除所有中国文化的影响呢?因为韩国原本的文化就很美。
A guy was really hungry so he sat down at the restaurant and ordered a bunch of pork buns. He kept eating until he’s full. And he thought, man… if only I knew that last bun would satisfy me, I’d just eat that one instead of that 8 other buns before that.
有个人非常饿,所以他在餐厅坐下,点了一堆猪肉包。他一直吃到吃饱为止。他想,如果我知道最后一个面包能让我满足,我就吃这个,而不是之前的8个面包。
The guy is Korea, and the buns are cultures Korea had absorbed: Chinese, Japanese, American, and many others throughout history.
这家伙是韩国人,包子是韩国吸收的文化:中国的,日本的,美国的,以及历史上许多其他国家的文化。

Korea wouldn’t be Korea you know today without all those cultures that influenced it.
如果没有那些文化的影响,韩国就不会是今天的韩国。

You might as well make America great again by removing all the cultural influences from the British Isles.
你也可以通过移除所有英伦三岛的文化影响来让美国再次伟大。
Did you know that I, a modern day Chinese guy, am more capable of reading and understanding ancient Korean texts than the average modern day Korean?
你知道吗,我,一个现代的中国人,比普通的现代韩国人更能阅读和理解古代的朝鲜文字?(其实就是中文)
That is because the Korean peninsula used the Chinese writing system. Korea’s own writing system, Hangul, would not be invented until the 15th century.
这是因为朝鲜半岛使用了中国的文字系统。直到15世纪,韩国才发明了自己的书写系统——韩文。
For Korea to remove all Chinese cultural influences, they would have to ditch most of their own history as well.
对于韩国来说,要消除所有中国文化的影响,他们就必须放弃大部分自己的历史。
The question then becomes what to replace it with. Are we to accept a narrative where everyone famous, from Confucius to Jesus Christ, was born in Korea? A worldview where every significant invention, from the printing press to the airplane, came from Korea?
问题就变成了用什么来代替它。我们是否应该接受这样一种说法:从孔子到耶稣基督,所有名人都出生在韩国?一种认为从印刷机到飞机,每一项重大发明都来自韩国的世界观?
Human history is full of mixing with and copying from each other. Few civilisations and cultures developed in isolation. Promoting an exclusionary and twisted historical view like this is something known as "historical nihilism", which is not just disrespectful, but dangerous, and is something we should all guard against.
人类的历史充满了相互交融和相互借鉴。很少有文明和文化是在孤立中发展起来的。宣扬这种排他性的、扭曲的历史观,就是所谓的“历史虚无主义”,这不仅是不尊重,而且是危险的,是我们都应该警惕的。
第三位网友的回复截选
Admit that your history only begins since 16th century when your Korean characters were created. Any history prior to 16th century was either monkey-written or you were monkey and only became humans when you first had Hangul.
承认你的历史只从16世纪开始,那时你的韩文被创造出来。16世纪之前的历史要么是猴子写的,要么就是你是猴子,直到你第一次有了韩文才变成了人类。
That way you can truly be out of Chinese influence and make everyone believe your “original” culture is beautiful.
这样你才能真正摆脱中国的影响,让每个人都相信你的“原创”文化是美丽的。
But before you can do this, remember that your northern neighbor probably is loop in your whatever twisted history may be.
Kill off and silent your neighbor first. It is indeed beautiful, then.
但在你这样做之前,请记住,你的北方邻居可能是你扭曲历史的循环。
先搞定并让你的邻居安静下来。那么,确实很美。
来自越南的网友都坐不住了
I think a more nuance view is as China being an ancient and dominant civilization of the sinosphere, many of korean culture was inspired or originated from China (my vietnamese culture also, and we admire and accept with pride, well mostly).
我认为一个更细微的观点是,由于中国是一个古老的、占主导地位的文明,许多韩国文化都是受到中国的启发或源自中国(我的越南文化也是如此,我们大多数时候都很自豪地欣赏和接受)。

This in itself is nothing bad, afterall, why not learn from a successful and culturally rich civilization. But then the real problem is loud minorities with loud mouth initiating all of this trivial kind of conflict.
这本身并不是什么坏事,毕竟,为什么不向一个成功的、文化丰富的文明国家学习呢?但真正的问题是那些大声喧哗的少数人用大声喧哗引发了这些琐碎的冲突。
There are even few historical crackpot Korean who make bold claim that even English is originated from Korea, so the same go to claiming other chinese culture is orginated from Korea (which is obviously wrong).
甚至历史上有部分韩国疯子大胆地声称英语也起源于韩国,所以同样的情况也发生在声称其他中国文化起源于韩国(这显然是错误的)。
Then again Chinese netizen are far from being saint either, who make all kind of claim is that this (kimchi, hanbok, hangeul, goryeo kingdom) is from China. Well certainly Hanja is based of Mandarin script, Hanbok might found it direct or indirect inspiration from Hanfu.
中国网民也不是圣人,他们说这(泡菜、韩服、韩文、高丽)来自中国。当然汉字是基于普通话的,韩服可能直接或间接地从汉服中获得灵感。
中国自古以来都是朝鲜的宗主国,只要是中国开始流行并兴盛的东西,在很短时间内就会流传到韩国国内,速度是十分迅速的。中国的传统文化对韩国的影响从古至今从未中断过,影响也是不言而喻的。
