No leh. Sometimes I think Korea is even more traditional Chinese dan modern tiongs. Their names and surnames are written in Chinese even if the phonetics is in Korean. They are beri proud of their ancestry and their lineage records are written in Chinese. They oso claim Confucius and Xishi as their own and have a beri strong Confucian background. I've even met a few Korean who told me they were descendents of Qin Shi Huang [dunno whether true or not but he actually got some physical resemblance to the ancient painting of the emperor. Their traditional medicine and tiongs' oso sama sama eg Korean Ginseng is more famous dan China's. Due to Tiongkok many wars and revolutions, the China today has lost alot more of its traditional culture and artefacts compared to Korea.
