The picture also details how this knot is woven. It has a history and looks serious. In addition to this website, there are also Korean netizens who claim that the "Korean knot" has submitted an application, and it is not clear whether it is successful or not.
In the face of questions from netizens in China, Korean netizens also gave a comparison between the so-called "Korean knot" and "Chinese knot", believing that they are not the same thing. Others believe that knot art and culture itself is a product of the existence across China, Japan and South Korea, and cannot be called the culture of a specific country. I believe that China will start a discussion about knots after creating a controversy about Hanbok.
In the mainstream BBS dictionaries in South Korea, the search for Korean knots also appears in detail, calling it an important traditional culture in South Korea. It is also natural to mention that Korean knots are influenced by Chinese knots and have similar uses.
Chinese knot is a folk art form in China. In the Book of Changes, it is recorded that "the rule of law was based on knotting in ancient times, and later sages wrote books based on it", which is the predecessor of writing. Even Wikipedia says: It has a long history and influenced the decorative arts of neighboring countries. Since everyone of us can remember it, it must have engraved the "Chinese knot" firmly in our impression, and this unquestionable China element has even been played by Koreans.
At present, the "Chinese knot forum" also has related discussions. Someone posted a post asking for photos of the external network. Please help us to judge whether it is a Chinese knot or a Korean knot. The landlord himself is very angry with this behavior in Korea, because no matter how you look at the knot in the picture, it is exactly the same as the Chinese knot, and there is no difference.
Some netizens have made a rational analysis of the comments made by various accounts since the outbreak of the "China knot" dispute, and think that there is a motive behind this behavior that needs our attention, and they use professional methods to confuse concepts and wrong timelines as arguments, with the aim of deceiving the public.
Besides Chinese knots and Dragon Boat Festival, Feng Shui has also been targeted by Koreans. In 2003, South Korea started the folk culture revitalization project, which included Feng Shui in the national heritage list, and later prepared to declare Feng Shui as the world intangible cultural heritage. However, Professor Wang, a master of geomantic omen in China, produced cultural relics more than 3,000 years ago at the seminar in 2006, proving that geomantic omen belongs to us in China, which stopped Koreans.
There are countless similar things. There are also women's groups in South Korea who are keen to use China elements in modeling, clothing and stage, which are called oriental style, not Chinese style. I regard the improvement of cheongsam as a singing costume and the garden window grilles as a stage background, but I refuse to admit that these are all from China.
In the face of frequent "stealing culture" incidents, netizens are angry. While angrily accusing neighboring countries of being unkind and immoral, we also hope to defend our own traditional culture and leave beautiful things to future generations.
