The Hanoi Confucian Temple was a typical Chinese architecture. Similar to many Confucian temples in China, it was built by the emperor of the Li Dynasty, who worshipped Chinese Confucianism. It had a history of more than 900 years.
The Confucian Temple covered an area of more than 26000 square meters and faced south. The entire building was made up of five groups of courtyards. There was a dismounting monument outside the gate that read, "Civil Officials dismount from their palanquins, Military Officials dismount from their horses."
In the middle of the main hall was a huge Chinese plaque with the words "Eternal Teacher" written on it. In the middle of the main hall was a Confucius table, and on both sides were Chinese and Vietnamese Confucians.
In the main hall, a group of people dressed like high school students stood under the statue of Confucius. One of them was reading something loudly in Vietnamese, so Li Xu and the rest could not understand it.
Li Xu guessed that these students were trying to curry favor with Confucius because they were about to take their college entrance exams.
Other than that, no one was making a ruckus. Everyone was talking softly.
Although most of them were bad students, many of them had been educated in Confucianism since they were young. They could not show any disrespect to Confucius.
Confucius was highly respected in Korea. There was even a rumor that Koreans claimed that Confucius was a Korean.
This rumor had been blamed on the Koreans for more than a decade.
In 2005, Korea successfully applied for the "Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival" as an Intangible Cultural Heritage.
This action angered the citizens of China, the birthplace of the Dragon Boat Festival, and a misunderstanding arose.
Since then, rumors like "Koreans claim that everything that belongs to China is Korean" would occasionally spread in China.
For example, Koreans claimed that Confucius was a Korean, Cao Cao was a Korean, Sun Yat-sen was a Korean, and even Han Han was a Korean.
In China, Taiwan, and Japan, there were reports of Korean origin. Of course, most of them were from unscrupulous tabloids, but some of them had already spread to the mainstream media, making it difficult to distinguish between the truth and the lies.
Later on, these rumors were proven to be fake, and many media outlets refuted them.
However, it took two mouths to start a rumor, but two legs to refute it.
Now that a misunderstanding had arisen, it was not easy to clear it up. Many people liked to use this to slander Koreans.
Although the Koreans were shameless in some ways, they had been wronged this time.
The Jiangling Dragon Boat Festival was a festival where the people of the Jiangling area of Korea would wear traditional Korean clothing and swing on swings. They would also hold various witchcraft and sacrificial ceremonies. They would also hold traditional games and activities such as rope skipping, mask making, as well as wonderful witchcraft performances, mask dancing, and rural music performances.
The Korean government had applied for this unique way of celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival in the Gangneung region as an intangible cultural heritage of the world. They didn't apply for the "Dragon Boat Festival" as an intangible cultural heritage and said that it was a Korean festival.
In fact, most of Korea did not celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. There were many Koreans who did not know what the Dragon Boat Festival was and who Qu Yuan was.
Confucius had a huge influence in Korea. Fine. Then didn't you say that Confucius was from Korea?
What? Nothing?
That means there is. Look, he's already denying it.
As a result, rumors started spreading on the Internet. Anything could be attributed to the Koreans.
In order to increase the credibility, some reports even said that it was Seoul University's Professor Kim and Korea University's Professor Park.
After that, many Chinese media went to Korea to verify. However, they confirmed that Seoul University and Korea University did not have these fabricated Professor Kim and Professor Park.
Li Xu had also asked his Korean classmates. When they heard this, they were shocked. They said that they had studied the "Analects of Confucius" since they were young. The textbooks clearly stated that Confucius was a famous educator, writer, and statesman in China's Spring and Autumn period. There was never any mention of Confucius being from Korea.
Furthermore, these students looked at Li Jiu sadly and said, "Is this how the news in your country is?" Then how much do you know is the truth?
Li Xu was speechless. Aren't all unscrupulous editors like this? Korea's news is not much better.
After leaving the main hall, there was a large grassland behind. In the middle of the grassland, there was a huge tree that was over a hundred years old.
On the grassland, there were many girls in white outfits. They were chatting in groups of twos and threes. Some of them were wearing academic hats. They should be students preparing to take graduation photos.
Outfits were Vietnamese clothes. They were similar to China's cheongsam and showed off their figures.
Teenage girls were pure white, unmarried girls were soft pink, and married women were dark.
Ming Yi, the host of MSI, was wearing Outfits. She was even mistaken for a cheongsam by China's players.
"This is youth!"
Brother Li glanced at the youthful and beautiful students and sighed.
Li Xu: "?????????"
This Guapi looked like he had seen the vicissitudes of life. He might not even be as old as those people. After all, Li Ge had just passed his 23rd birthday.
Looking at Brother Hanzi, who was looking at the group of boys taking graduation photos with envy, Li Jiu remembered that Brother Hanzi had once said that he wanted to go to university.
"It's so hot today. Those guys in black outfits must be hot. You don't have to be envious of them."
Li Xu was very good at comforting people. Brother Hanzi wiped the sweat off his forehead and nodded in agreement.
"Hmm ~ ~ ~ Maybe their underwear is wet." Hanzi smiled wretchedly.
Today's weather was very hot. There was a small drink stall in front of them. Li Xu was going to buy a bottle of water.
Li Xu opened the freezer and picked up a can of coke. He turned around and asked Li Ge, "What do you guys want to drink?"
At this time, Brother Li, Li Jiu, Haru, and Khan happened to be in a group. The others were scattered to take pictures. The three of them consciously picked up a can of coke each.
Li Jiu was about to pay when he saw Brother Li looking at him with puppy eyes. Li Jiu was suddenly reminded of something, and he stopped taking out the money.
"Li Ge, didn't you say that you will treat me to coke?"
Every time Li Ge said that he wanted to thank him, he would treat him to coke. But other than secretly drinking the coke that Li Ge put in the dormitory, he did not drink it even once.
"Hmm?"
Li Ge was stunned, "Oh ~ ~ ~ I remember now! Let me do it. This time it's my treat. "
"Siang He is generous!"
Hanzi gave him a thumbs up. Haru also grinned. According to Li Ge's thrifty (stingy) character, it was not easy to take advantage of Li Ge.
Encouraged, Brother Li's lips curled into a smile. He took out his wallet with a heroic look on his face.
"Boss, how much is it?"
Of course, the boss did not understand Korean. He saw them take out four bottles of coke and gestured a two and a five.
Brother Li handed over 25,000 Vietnamese Dong to the stall owner. The stall owner shook his head, gestured again and said in English:
“Twohundredandfiftythousand”
"What?"
Li Ge's hand that was holding the wallet trembled. He turned around and saw Hanzi was about to open the tab. He quickly shouted, "Stop!"
