@mouseion_semiko@re_yjyj121 한국전쟁 시기에 북한과 한국 양쪽에서 매설해두고 버려진, 혹은 잊혀진 지뢰들이 아직 꽤 있어요
그리고 북한은 여전히 지금도 휴전선 인근에 지뢰를 깔아두고 있고요
비가 심하게 내리면 이따금 지뢰가 인가 근처의 야지에서 표면에 드러날 때가 있답니다😱
@junjunnihonshi 제가 생각하는 바를 조금만 말씀드릴게요
수,당,몽골 등에 의한 피해는 너무 멀어요
하지만 일본제국에 의한 피해는 아직까지도 피해자나 그 자식, 손자 세대가 살아있는 경우가 많아요
현재를 살아가는 사람들의 원한이
역사 속 원한보다 깊고 강한 것은 아무래도 당연하지 않을까요?🙄
Cho Chang is a perfectly normal and beautiful Chinese name and I’m honestly tired of having to explain this repeatedly.
I came across another post criticising her name, so let’s clear up the actual linguistic and cultural context behind it.
"Chang" is the standard romanisation of the surname 張 in Mandarin and Cantonese-speaking regions outside Mainland China (where it's spelled "Zhang" in Pinyin, or "Chong" and "Cheong" in Singapore and Malaysia). It is the third most common surname in Taiwan, the fourth most common in Mainland China, and is also widely used in Korea. (Chang and Cheung are also Cantonese romanisations of the surname 章.)
"Cho" is the Hong Kong Cantonese romanisation for several characters commonly used in given names:
• 秋 — "Autumn" or a plentiful harvest
• 卓 — "Excellence," "brilliance," or "outstanding" (also a surname)
• 楚 — "Clarity," "well-dressed," or "a lovely lady"
• 早 — "Morning"
Her official Chinese translation is 張秋—"Autumn Chang." I actually knew a girl in primary school with that exact name and spelling when the Harry Potter movies were coming out. She was so disappointed when Pottermore sorted her into Hufflepuff instead of Ravenclaw!
Growing up, I also had a headcanon that Cho was a Hongkonger whose family moved to the UK before the 1997 Handover. Emigrating to the UK due to the worsening political climate was very common for Hong Kong families in the 80s and 90s.
I’ve never heard anyone who speaks Chinese or grew up in a Chinese-speaking country criticise her name. Cho Chang is widely loved there—the only real complaints are about her lack of characterisation or that she didn't end up with Harry. I didn't even know people disliked her name until I moved to an English-speaking country for university.
(Note: All spellings above follow the Hong Kong Government Cantonese Romanisation system, which you can easily look up for exact phonetics.)
@zmw0510@ChengXikang123 한성보다 조금 더 옛날 이름인 漢陽으로 하지 그래요 😆
참고로 漢陽은 당연하게도 漢江의 북쪽이라는 의미죠
漢江의 漢은 크다는 의미를 가진 하다/한-의 한자 음차랍니다 😊
아무튼 서울의 옛 지명에 대해 관심을 가진 분을 보니 반갑네요
@Uma1488@beeh09589730932@yuionyeon 와 이건 또 전근대적인 인종주의자네 ㅋㅋ
하얗지 않으면 서양인이 될 수 없다는 건가?
거기서 나고 자라도?
머릿속이 서양인이면 아시아에 대한 대표성이 없다는 이야기를 하고 있는데
왜 맥락을 이해하지 못하지?
뼛속까지 아시언에 대한 인종차별을 가지고 있으니까 그런가?🤔
