"You stole Chuseok, didn't you?" In response to China's absurd claim,,,,,,,,,, Seo Kyung-deok says, "It's different from the Mid-Autumn Festival"

When some Chinese netizens claimed that Korea's Chuseok was stolen from their own Mid-Autumn Festival, Professor Seo Kyung-deok of Sungshin Women's University directly refuted this. On the 24th, Professor Seo criticized the claims on his Facebook page, saying, "Chuseok and Jung-chujeol fall on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, so although the dates are the same, their cultural backgrounds are completely different," calling the claims unfounded. First, the cultural backgrounds are completely different: Korea's Chuseok is a tradition of giving thanks for the year's harvest, while the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival is a tradition of performing rituals toward the moon to pray for family harmony. The representative dishes are also different, but while we make crescent-shaped songpyeon for Chuseok, we make mooncakes shaped like a full moon. In China, people say, "When Lunar New Year approaches, people steal Chinese New Year's Estate, and when Chuseok approaches, people make a fuss about stealing Mid-Autumn Festival," but "when Manchester City posted a Chuseok commemorative video last year, Chinese netizens also said their own culture They protested for stealing it," and said they should stop cultural hegemonic thinking and recognize and respect Korea's unique holidays. Kimchi, hanbok, and gat are all in a fuss over their own,,, so why are they making such a fuss over Korea's cultural heritage!! They don't recognize their own culture, so they nitpick over someone else's culture??????
