When Japan expanded to Korea in the 7th century, it was hit hard by the Tang Empire in the Battle of Hundred Rivers. Deeply aware of its backwardness and ignorance, it sent envoys from the Tang Dynasty to study in China. Later, according to the radicals and cursive characters of Chinese characters in China, he created his own characters-Hiragana and Katakana. Pseudonym means borrowing words, which shows that the Central Plains characters are orthodox characters. There are two ways to pronounce Japanese-pronunciation reading and training reading. Phonetic reading means reading the sounds of Chinese characters, and training reading means reading the local original sounds. Pronunciation is divided into "Tang Yin" and "Song Yin", so many Japanese characters retain the standard pronunciation of China in Tang and Song Dynasties. At present, there are 1950 commonly used Chinese characters in Japanese. The grammatical structure of ancient Chinese is close to the prepositional object and adverbial postsyntax.
Korea was Jizi Korea in ancient times. At the beginning of the era, it was divided into three tribes: Chen Han, Mahan and Han Ge. Later, it was divided into Silla, Baekje and Koguryo in the Three Kingdoms period. In the Tang Dynasty, Xue crossed the sea and invaded the East, destroying Baekje and Koguryo in one fell swoop. Only Silla was left, and then Korea was unified. 10 century, the Korean dynasty was established, which means "high mountain Lishui". During the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, Korea was a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty, and intermarried frequently with the royal family of the Yuan Empire. The Korean film Samurai shows the story that the Ming Dynasty, born in the Central Plains, was suspected at the end of the Koryo Dynasty because of its close relationship with the Mongolian Yuan. As you should remember, the task in the film is under the banner of "Korea's contribution". 1392, North Korean general Li Chenggui established the Li Dynasty, with the title of "Korea", which means "the beauty of Asahi". Li Chaochu, who suffered from the lack of national characters, once "trained the people to correct pronunciation" and used Chinese strokes as the carrier of letters in Korean to combine letters into square characters. Therefore, a Chinese character represents a meaning and reads one syllable, but the Korean square characters that express the same meaning are polysyllabic.
Japanese and Korean are cohesive languages, which are close to Mongolian and Manchu-Tungusic languages in pronunciation. During the Liao, Jin and Xia Dynasties, China also developed characters in this way, which was very similar to Chinese characters. At that time, the official written language of East Asia was Chinese characters, just like Latin in medieval Europe.
For a long time, Japanese and Koreans are proud to be proficient in using Chinese, while the older generation of Japanese and Koreans regard writing China's poems as the highest glory of learning.
In recent years, China and South Korea have a serious tendency to get rid of the influence of Korean culture. South Korea will forcibly rename Seoul, which is more than 1000 years old, as the English transliteration of "Shouwo". In order to get rid of China's cultural influence, the Japanese force training reading to be used in daily life, while downplaying audio reading.
