I remember telling you somewhere in my previous posting, which is similar to the subject title. Someday in my college days, an international student from Korea and several local classmates talked about a "funny" topic: Which women are prettier? Chinese or Koreans? Out of modesty and politeness, we all said that Korean women are prettier. But that Korean guy insisted the answer is Chinese women. Why? He argued that in the seventh century, when the army of the Tang Empire annihilated the kingdom of Goguryeo (高句麗), they also captured all concubines and beautiful women in Pyongyang and moved them to Changan. That was true, per documented history, but had the Chinese women become prettier through the long assimilation with those captured women?
PS. Koreans firmly believe the Goguryeo people are their ancestors; in fact, it is not true. Goguryeo were half-nomadic people who occupied the northern part of the peninsula. The ancestors of modern Korean people should have been from the southern part of the peninsula, who unified the whole of Korea under the auspices of the Tang Empire. |
