Why are many place names in Korea the same as those in Hubei Province? Will the ancestors of Korea be from Hubei?

Hubei is an inland province located in the middle of China. It is difficult to see the relationship between Hubei and South Korea. The linear distance between the two places is over 2000 kilometers. If it is not surprising that some place names or road names are the same in the same country, it is definitely not a coincidence that a large number of place names are the same as those in China in foreign countries. There will be some connection in at least one aspect. China is one of the four ancient civilizations, and it is also the only country that has never interrupted its indigenous civilization. For most of China's history, China was an influential country in the world, such as South Korea, Japan and some countries in Southeast Asia, which were deeply influenced by China culture. So why do many Korean place names go to the countryside with Hubei Province?

Everyone knows that South Korea likes to compete with China for the world cultural heritage. Many Koreans who belong to China want to keep them for themselves. South Korea says the Dragon Boat Festival is theirs, and Qu Yuan is Korean. In fact, Qu Yuan was born in Zigui County, Hubei Province, and some Koreans once thought that Li Shizhen was a Korean. But Li Shizhen is from Qichun County, Hubei Province. Although China people can't be taken away from Korea, which is also the place name of Hubei, Korea really exists. The miracle of economic development once created, also known as the miracle of Hanjiang River, also exists in China, and most of its basins are in Hubei Province. Hanjiang River is the main tributary of the Yangtze River in China, and it is also a very famous river in the history of China. More coincidentally, however, the source of the Han River in South Korea is located in Taibai Mountain, South Korea, and the name Taibai Mountain is too familiar to China people. Geographically, the source of the Hanjiang River in China is in Qinling Mountains, Shaanxi Province, and the main peak of Qinling Mountains is called Taibai Mountain.

South Korea has a famous city on the Han River called Seoul, which is the capital of South Korea. Before 2005, Seoul's Chinese name was Seoul, which was a name with strong cultural connotation in China. After 2005, the Chinese name was changed to Seoul. Of course, Seoul has a history of thousands of years and is called Hanyang. I believe that the place name Hanyang will be familiar to most people in China. Hanyang, located at the intersection of the Han River and the Yangtze River, is one of the famous towns in Wuhan. However, the connection between Korean place names and Hubei goes far beyond this. There is a city in South Korea called Xiangyang County, which happens to be a sub-central city in Hubei Province and a very famous city in China. Xiangyang is a famous historical and cultural city and one of the cradles of Chu culture, Han culture and Three Kingdoms culture.

In South Korea, besides Xiangyang County, there is another city called Jiangling City, and Jingzhou City in Hubei Province was once called Jiangling, which was once the capital of Chu State. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Five Dynasties, 34 emperors of the four countries successively established their capitals here, which lasted for 5 15 years. Influenced by China culture, Korean has used Chinese characters for a long time. If South Korea restores Chinese place names, people will probably think that they are seeing Hubei Province. So what is the relationship between South Korea and Hubei? Are Hubei people the ancestors of Koreans?

At present, there are two theories circulating. One is that before Qin destroyed the six countries, the influence of Chu extended to the northern part of the Korean peninsula. After Qin destroyed Chu, many Chu people did not want to be ruled by Qin and moved to the south of the Korean peninsula, which is now South Korea. At that time, Hubei happened to be the core area of Chu State. There is also a more reliable saying that Zhu Yuanzhang imprisoned the second son of Hubei Hanyang local official Qian to the present place in South Korea. After arriving in the present place in South Korea, he copied the place names of his hometown, so a large number of place names with the same name as Hubei appeared in South Korea. Therefore, it is very credible to say that the ancestors of Koreans were from Hubei. For example, the national flags of South Korea are Wudang Taiji Bagua and Korean. Low-key is somewhat similar to the dialect in midsummer in Hubei, which may be why Koreans think that China and Hubei are actually Koreans and Li Shizhen is Korean. So do you think it is possible that Hubei people are the ancestors of Koreans?
